Places I would like to kiss Richard Armitage: A non-exhaustive list
In future, I think I’m going to call this attitude “Armitage Objectification Mode.” Or perhaps, diagrammatic excesses of para-socialism. (No Tea Party jokes, please.)

Every square inch of that gorgeous body!
But if I’m going to claim my particular body part, I think I’d like the mid-sternum.
LikeLike
No one has put his/her claim on that yet.
LikeLike
You owe me a new keyboard! Also, remember that the dinosaur is now – according to the master himself – his “weapon”. Anyone want to take any bets on what he has named it? *sniggers*
Back to me now. hahaha … I would like to claim the following kissing spots:
1. The top of his head (no, I am not talking about his weapon).
2. His squama frontalis, especially the pronounced side ridges.
3. His eyelids – immediately followed by blowing softly on his eyelashes.
4. His philtrum (a.k.a. ‘love potion’) and his Cupid’s bow. Of course, that would force me to trap his upper lip in mine and pull lightly, which might lead to other types of lip action.
5. His nipples of steel, followed by some other actions, I’m sure.
6. His guns, a.k.a. biceps.
7. Each of the fingertips on those glorious hands, specifically the fingerprint areas, where I’d be forced to lick off the SCHARFFEN BERGER.
8. His Thighs of Thunder, concentrating on his quadriceps; the formally trained dancer in me cannot resist them!
9. His patellas and, last but not least…
10. …I’d leave a trace of kisses from the top of his spine all the way down to his waist.
As you can see, I have not given this much thought at all – ever! Does this mean I’ll have to confess how I continue to debase his human dignity and deeply offend God in the process? *snort* [I’ve already begun to seriously research my response to that blog post, which I promised to present during FanstRAvaganza. Stay tuned to see if I’ll get struck by lightning!]
P.S: In real life, if I ever met him, I’d probably wouldn’t even manage to look the man in the face, let alone touch him. I am *that* shy. *sigh*
P.P.S: Oh, how blogging gives us “courage” to express things we probably would not otherwise!

I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you! I can’t see any one of you claiming the inner wrist where the radIus meets the carpal bones at the bottom of the thumb. I claim it mine! (Thanks, Servetus, for another wonderful post. Have a happy, kiss-filled weekend, everybody!)

I was initially pointing to the “in your face” nature of the post, and after we got going looked back and thought “oh boy”. Not on my naughtiest day would I go straight there :). Making note to avoid future misleading BB analogies! For anyone who still has no idea what we’re talking about, just as well 🙂

yeah, I only noticed in retrospect how angry / frustrated I was. Sign of creeping old age, I suppose. But it was intended as a sort of “in your face” kind of thing, you were right about that.

Judging by the response, you were not alone. Remind me never to throw down…you’re clearly not afraid to return fire. 🙂

Sorry to hear your time off was stressful — but yes, relax with some Armitage kissing in mind …

Relaxing again. Back to work today, but that is o.k. I just didn’t think that I would spend 8 hours on Friday baking goodies for Husband to take to work on Saturday for his 10 hour day, due to that big ski race. He was tried and so was I. Everyone at his work had to work that day and so lots of goodies to be baked. I did get a thank you from his boss.
