there is nothing wrong with looking at a person, being it male or female, and saying "damn!"

Before I get down to what we are here for, I want to address a subject that was brought up to me this evening. I received a message accusing me of objectifying men through my series of Verbaledudette's Olympic Hotties. I disagree. I do not believe I am promoting any sort of objectification. Sure, I write about how talented and beautiful they are, search for shirtless pictures, and make up stories about us making love in almost every room of their homes, but they are chosen because of admiration. All this is is talented athletes that look good, sprinkled with colorful sarcastic humor. 

I think it is important to recognize a body that someone has worked so hard to create in order to be the best athlete in their sport. I write these posts as I sit in my pajamas, regretting not going to the gym, and eating Girl Scout cookies, while these men work their asses off to achieve a goal. There is nothing wrong with looking at a person, being it male or female, and saying "damn!" 

The Webster's dictionary defines objectifying as "to treat (someone) as an object rather than a person." I do not see these athletes as objects for sex (but hey, if their down..)  I see these athletes as inspirations for their commitment to their sport, as well as their physical appearances. 

Their blue eyes may have come naturally, as wells as their love for eating and watching TV (common hobbies I have noticed,) but none of these men were born with six packs. With that said, this series is a thank you and a round of applause to those who have put forth the effort and have worked to claim the title of an Olympian. 

Now let's hear it for the boys and meet tonight's contender! That last days are approaching fast and I am sad to say it is almost time to seal the envelope of another successful collection of beautiful boys. But let's not get teary eyed yet, because Mats Zuccarello is here for dinner and a movie night of all the Lord of the Rings films: 

Norwegian and twenty six years of age, Mats plays forward in the daring, slamming, tooth chipping, big bodied, game of ice hockey. 

His hobbies include American football (that he learned from his teammates on his New York Rangers club team,) golf, and tennis. 

He speaks Norwegian (naturally,) English, and Swedish. Three language options means you are practically dating three men. One night you are cheering on your Norwegian boyfriend at his hockey game, the next night you are going to the clubs in New York with your English (American-grinding) boyfriend, and then the next night he is serving you Swedish meatballs. (Get your head out of the gutter. I see your eyes widening and I can hear your giggling over here. Heehee.) Three's company all packaged nicely into one brawny bod. 

His nickname is The Hobbit. Now, I think most people would not admit to the nickname, but he has the confidence and a good sense of humor to not only accept it, but promote it. So what I am saying is if you have some fantasy to sleep with foreign creatures, here's one. 

During the playoff round at the Sochi event he was unable to play because of a hand injury, so tonight when he comes over, let him have the first bite of ice cream and give him an extra kiss. Lord knows he deserves it for working so hard and because well, if you have the chance to kiss him, I would take that opportunity.  

"What did that Verbaleudette writer say about my meatballs?!?"

Thank you for your support of Verbaledudette! Have a lovely night. xo

Happy Toews Tuesday!

Jonathan Toews an ice melting, sizzling stick, with puck hard abs from Canada: 

At the age of twenty five, this hockey player already has a previous winter games under his belt, but also a variety of titles such as the youngest member to join the "triple gold club." 

He started playing hockey on ice rinks his father would make in the backyard. (My neighbors tried to make an ice rink in their front yard one year. There was ice for sure, but not much rinking.) 

look! a snuggle buddy for you when he is off playing his games! looks just like him!

He loves to watch TV, play video games, and go out to eat after every game. (Sounds a bit like every boy I knew in high school. But hey, no judging, they turned out great. In fact, most of them are hotter now then they were then. (I hope they think the same about me too, because goodness, my hair did some wild things in those high school days. Also, pretty sure I wore a lot of multi colored jeans. A fashion trend I kind of regret. Oh well, at least my kids will think it was so "retro mom.")) 

just in case you were wondering what his children would look like. 

He was once quoted saying this: "You become what you think about and focus on the most. See yourself attracting the things you want to accomplish. Thoughts and desires in your mind can become a reality."  

Happy Toews Tuesday! xo 

Might Ducks or Magic Mike?

You would not believe how hard it is to find winter Olympians half naked on the internet. I used to think that Google was the answer to all my desires, but lately, it has been disappointing me athlete after athlete. This lack of images or social media outlets pertaining to my list of hotties has brought a bit of a upset to my "researching" (aka stalking) ego. But do not fret, after quite the extensive internet man hunt, I have discovered a beefy hockey player just for you. Say hello to Severin Blindenbacher:

Coming at you strong at the age of thirty, Severin is a ice hockey defenseman from Zurich, Switzerland.

Usually not really one for the beards.. but he makes rugged look good! 

He is a right hand shooter and a master chef in the kitchen. It has rumored that he likes to cook in nothing but is lucky #5 jersey and humming the Mighty Ducks tune.

His eyes, look at them longing for someone to love! 

hockey players are kind of like planes. how can something so large be so graceful?  

a man of all seasons 

this is his reaction after receiving a text from
you confirming your date for valentines day! where are we going for dinner?

I do not know about you, but I think he was also in the movie "Magic Mike."

on stage.

Also, a little shout out to these lovely ladies for taking home the wins for Women's Moguls:
