My list of badasses

There are some guys who are just, plain and simply, badasses. Here is my list:

• Tommy Lee Jones (he's badass even when surrounded by cheerleaders!)
• Charles Bronson (killing because they deserve it)
• Yul Brynner (wearing a skirt and kicking ass)
• Clint Eastwood (badass with attitude)
• Bruce Springsteen (blue collar badass)
• Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton, but in this character)
• Sam Elliott (Road House rocks!)
• Robert Mitchum (he's scary!)

People who try to be a badass, but are NOT:

• Steven Seagal (being married to Kelly LaBrock did you in)
• Jean-Claud VanDamme (the splits on those chairs did you in)
• Sylvester Stallone (Oscar?)
• Any "gangsta" rapper - give me a damn break (having a gun does not make you a badass)
• Hulk Hogan (too blond and too tan)
• Chuck Norris (karate is all you've got)
• Dennis Hopper (investment commercials did you in)

Jim's list of badasses (that I don't necessarily agree with):

• Spencer Tracy (Bad Day at Blackrock)
• Humphrey Bogart
• John Wayne
• Steve McQueen
