Heroes

We here at The No-Look, No-Catch would like to start things off here in blogdom by letting our audience get to know us, and what better way to do this than by profiling our heroes. You know, those who have impacted and shaped us.

We're not really the type to choose fathers, teachers or coaches - if they had done such a great job, we wouldn't have the time to write this. No, our heroes are those that everyone knows, legends of pop-culture, who possess the quality that we value above all - brazen confidence and that "I don't really give a shit what you think about me" attitude.

5. Jerry Seinfeld- The man who dominated our Thursday nights throughout adolescence. Yeah, he's an incredible comedian (who we've quoted enough to annoy a few) and all, but what always stuck with us was the way he ran through hot woman after hot woman. He got dumped time and time again but it never really mattered. He'd just go get another. We too go through smoking hot woman weekly, and thanks to lessons learned from Jerry, once they're gone they're gone.

4. Burt Reynolds- A bit old school for us, but we've done our research and we're confident he is not only a top-drawer dude, but that he'd also kick Chuck Norris's ass. Owner of a sweet mustache and had the machismo to pull this off http://adweek.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/burt.jpg. Some fun facts about Burt: he's half Cherokee, played halfback at Florida State, and once jumped from an air boat on to a running deer.

3. Keith Hernandez- Another proud mustache owner, and his mustache is so famous that he does those surprisingly awesome Just for Men commercials. He too was a good 1st baseman and has been able to keep his job as Mets broadcaster even after saying, on-air mind you, that women not only don't belong in the dugout, but they should get back in the kitchen. But really what puts him on this list is this http://www.urbandictionary.com/ (search I'm Keith Hernandez, for some reason it won't link). Getting your name in Urban Dictionary is tits enough in our book, but then having that definition too, well that makes you immortal.

2. Ferris Bueller- The definition of, "Men want to be him and women want to be with him." Popular, only dates younger woman, laughs in the face of evil, sings Wayne Newton songs, can pull-off wearing sweater vests, defies authority, Cubs fan, art aficionado, "Sausage King" of the Midwest, we could go on. As you can gather from our blogs title picture, he is the star of our favorite movie of all-time, and if it weren't for two words uttered by our next man he would undoubtedly top this list.

1. Han Solo- We are not Star Wars geeks here but we do love us some Han Solo. He's cocky, reckless and charming all at the same time. We're guessing a woman never said no to him and that he could drink Wade Boggs under the table.

But more important than any of this is what he told the princess at the end of Empire Strikes Back. He's about to be frozen into carbon for the rest of eternity, the girl of his dreams says that she loves him, and his straight faced response is - "I know."

It is the phrase we live by. Of course she loves him, he's Han f@#$ing Solo. He's got the sweetest ride in the galaxy, and when he's tired he makes the wookie drive.

When we're walking from our '99 Jeep Cherokees to the doors of our flavor-of-the-week, before we knock, we always run this scene through our heads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO-KR-14uXM. Han, you've always been there for us.
