Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines!

Time to start the final round of voting for…

King of Cotillion

(also known as “Cotillion Beefcake?”)

But FIRST!!! Don’t read any further until you have seen Zendo Deb’s magnificent Cotillion roundup for the week! She’s taken on the whole thing herself, so nobody has any excuse to NOT link to it! There are some outstanding posts this week, so please, go on over to TFS Magnum and see what Zendo Deb has for you!
(Yessss! Pink Floyd on rotation in my brain now!)

OK, on with the show. We have the top four candidates in the final round, ready for objectification! Some of the photos will have changed at their request, as you will see, but you can still ogle check out the pictures from last week HERE.

Let the objectification begin!

First, we have MacStansbury, my co-writer here at MVRWC and proprietor of the excellent MacStansbury.org blog. MacS hates this picture because he was exhausted and “covered with sand,” but I like that he was showing his USM pride in the middle of a live combat area:

Next up, and also dashing in his desert camo, is Thunder6 from 365 and a Wakeup, beamed in from the front lines in Iraq where he is now. In this photo he sits with a little Iraqi girl who is waiting at the medical clinic: He made me change the picture, but I got to pick it. ;-)

Last, but most definitely not least, B.C. didn’t dig up his photos with him in his flight suit from his days in uniform, but he provided a more current photo, this one showing him enjoying the good life–beer-drinking on a boat–and looking not so torturous away from the Imperial Dungeon™ at the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler:

B.C., a beer, and a boat

There you go, y’all! The Final Four Three! Now go on over to their sites, poke around, and don’t forget to VOTE! (Over in the sidebar again, of course.) You can only vote for ONE this time, but you can still vote every day. Voting will close on SUNDAY NIGHT again, around midnight (Central time), and the winner will be announced and crowned King of Cotillion / Cotillion Beefcake? on TUESDAY.

Thank you from all of us in Cotillion to all the guys who participated last week–we consider all of you our Princes for participating and for supporting us!

    Vote Bullwinkle, Again!

    I made it to the finals! And just to prove what a nice caring guy I am I used a new picture of me being nice and caring with my newly adopted baby coati mundi.

    Now that the Iraqi elections are over I can focus on what’s REALLY important… my future cornontion! Since the picture up on the site rates # 3 in my all time 10 worst pics (12 hour patrols will do that to you) I thought I’d attempt to sway the vote I posted slightly more flattering pictures (noth that any of my pics are all that flatterig). Check out the “K of the C” photo link on the right hand column of my blog before you vote. And Beth - for the love of all things great and small - put up one of those shots!

    ::votes for Mac again:: Although I must admit that coati almost won me over. Damned loyalty, forcing me to vote against cute fuzzy animals, BOSTON teeshirts, and wee little girls.

    Done, T6! Sorry, I’m a horrible procrastinator and I just picked one from the first gallery I looked through! I should have emailed you so you could pick, huh? ;-)

    One Step Closer to Being King

    So the list of contestants for King of the Cotillion has been narrowed down to 4 finalists. New, and might I say far more flattering, pictures have been provided for your carnal pleasure. Sorry to the ones who didn’t

    [...] Catholic Carnival is up at Our World and Welcome To It and TFS Magnum is hosting a very rambunctious Cotillion (I love all those clock images!) so there is lots to read out there. Also, Beth has the four finalists for the Cotillion Beefcake contest. I’ve already voted. [...]

    I had to ask myself, do I want to look hot and sexy for the ladies, or keep my eyes when the anthrax shells hit.

    luckily for me, it was Patriots 7, Scuds 0

    B.C. says:

    Beth, since Bullwinkle’s going for the “cute factor” and Thunder 6 and Mac are going for the “bad ass factor”, please change my pic to either the infamous “holding the snake” or “cute ‘n’ cuddly Princess at the races”.

    Thanks in advance.

    PS: I haven’t posted any linkage to the final round yet, just to give the other guys a running start and let ‘em get their hopes up. ;)

    oh, please. with absolutely no fanfare, or fans for that matter, I’ve gotten myself in the freaking finals of this thing. do you think I got this far by not working my tail off?

    go ahead, let me get a lead. go ahead.

    I put the worst picture of me in existence on here, do you think I’m worried?

    Mac, you worried? You’re like a modern-day, gun-totin’, studlified Alfred E. Neuman of the blogosphere. You NEVER have to worry.

    Time to Vote Again!

    We’re down to four finalists in the “dishy conservative guys” competition. Naturally, I didn’t vote because I don’t approve of this sort of thing. Still, I’m hoping Beth posts more pix. ‘Cause how can it hurt?…

    Mac- I had PRK. Like lasik, only with pain. Like 3 days of really bad flash burns.

    I was getting really tired of the glasses under the flightdeck goggles, gasmask, etc.

    Still have a pair of BCs for close work somewhere.
