;D

The song was playing on the radio, and my sister up and says, "Why are they singing about Squirrels?"

It was less a facepalm moment and more a rolling around laughing moment.

I always disliked No Doubt and a friend used to like the song "Don't Speak" but I couldn't stand it so I made my own lyrics and sang the following over the chorus:

"Don't play this song because I hate it, it's really over rated, don't play it cause it hurts... hurts my ears..." :P

I agree! xD
WOW, he really does look like the guy that I pictured as Thomas!
And he is totally suave, could definitely pull off being white court!
 

When I read Changes, it was really weird cause immediately I pictured the scene where he first shows up and I'm like mentally saying: "OMG it's Matt Bomer!" cause I was seeing it like I was watching tv (and I was reading it for the first time which is odd i could see the scene so clearly in my head) and i see MB walk in playing Thomas. It just blew my mind and made me smile like an idiot. *giggles like a school girl* ;)

Having just read through the entire thread, I'm astounded that nobody has posted the only true Thomas yet - John Barrowman. Because for playing a guy that is so sexy everyone wants him, there's nobody else who has as much experience. And he can totally do suave as well as dolled-up in fairy wings:



For a bonus, here's him kissing James Marsters.

It's not that astounding. He is 43, and he doesn't look like a predatory angel, more like a soccer coach. 10 years ago I would have said maybe.

And that picture you posted is ancient, here is a more recent one.


And tho it pains me to say this, he is not as good a choice as Matt Bomer.

Only reason I am still on the fence about Matt Bomer is because I have not seen any of the shows he is on. I didn't watch Tru Calling, and I haven't watched White Collar, tho this is apparently an amazing show.

Dresden: "Don't call me a dinosaur. It isn't fair to the dinosaurs. What did a dinosaur ever do to you?"

Dresden: "Hell's holy stars and freaking stones shit bells."

To me he looks like a Michael in this picture because the rugged beard.

Harry strikes me as haggard not rugged.

When I think rugged, I think Michael Carpenter because he is a carpenter.  ::)

It's a bad pic, but, lol, look! he's holding flowers :D

Fun little trivia fact -- Bomer was director Brett Ratner's pic to play Superman in the movie Superman Returns. He got ousted when Ratner left, and Brian Singer took over, placing Brandon Routh in the role :-\

They shouldn't have switched up, Ratner should have stuck w/Superman and Singer should have stayed on X3, because both movies ending up sucking eggs.

Singer is a good director, I just feel like Superman was super mediocre.

And Ratner... i dunno, I liked the first Rush Hour then they progressively got worse, I liked the Family Man for what it was, Red Dragon was ok, After the Sunset was goofy as hell, and X3 could have been better, not a total bang-up job, but I expected better.

Seconded. I'd rather he be saddled with the Master Thief moniker as Neil Caffrey than the dude in skin tight leathers with his underwear on the outside (I never did understand that suit choice. Was that aesthetic? Or was that just the creator's way of subtly cracking on the character?)

Third-ed. And besides, everytime I look at MAtt Bomer, he doesn't scream Superman to me.... he's more of like this... suave....Thomas-esque guy. haha.
