I celebrate her birthdays with a bit of relief. It sucks to be old enough to be her grandfather, makes me feel like a dirty old man to ogle her. Older she gets, though...

I think what you're trying to say, if I interpret it correctly, is that the age gap decreases as two people age....If Person A is 30 when person B is born, by the time A is 40, B is 10, so 1/4th the age of A. But by the time A is 60, B is 30, so only 1/2 as old as A. By the time A is 90, he's forgot why he was doing the math.

I'm not sure there's that much leniency for older women dating younger men. Certainly Western society has loosened up on this a bit over the last decade or two, but in general we notice an older woman/younger man much more than and older man/younger woman.
Not to say there's actually anything wrong with an older woman dating a younger man, just that it doesn't seem as socially acceptable.

Unlike a lot of child actors that young boys have a crush on and are in a movie or two and then disappear or lose popularity as they get older. Emma was in a very successful movie franchise that kept her in the spotlight for a decade. She grew up with them and also went from the awkward nerdy girl, got really attractive while developing a girl next door appeal, and being an interesting person.
At the same time almost every young person watches Harry Potter and will for a while which will continue adding fans to her on the interwebs probably for another 10 years when she reaches middle age and become unrelatable for young teenagers.

I think SNL explained it pretty well:

Funny Emma Watson story time. A good friend of mine from high school went to Brown University in Rhode Island, the alma mater of--you guessed it--our dear 1st Lady. He's walking down a street in Providence one night when a car approaches from the opposite direction. This car contained a rather, erm, sloshed Emma Watson. Now at this point you must understand something about my friend: he has strawberry blonde (dare I say red) hair. So as the car drives past him, she learns her head out the window and screeches the words "RON WEASLEY" at him, at top volume. You can't make this stuff up.

I think some of you industrious guys need to explore a way to get word to the young Miss Watson and attempt to get her to attend a football game.
This brings to mind a story....
When I was a junior, most of the guys were infatuated with the Channel 10 weather lady, Donna Dean. One friend, a senior on the floor, was particularly enamored. We kept chiding him to call the station and see if she would attend the spring formal with him. He'd chuckle and we'd joke about it, but he wouldn't take the chance. I, however was not so dissuaded. I did my best Cyrano impression, and called the station, and amazingly got routed to the lovely Ms. Dean on my first try. I explained how we had a friend on our hall who was smitten, and would love to have her accompany him to the formal. I explained how it would be a great PR opportunity for the station, great for the university, etc, etc. She was extraordinarily nice, and explained that she'd have a hard time explaining going on a date to her husband. She did offer to send him an autographed picture as kind of a condolence prize. Knowing that this was the best conclusion I could get in the situation, I gave her my friend's address. No one said a word about it to our friend. About a week later, he received the picture with a nice personalized note written on the picture. The look on his face was priceless! One of the few times I ever saw him totally speechless.
My point is that you never know until you try, so some of you guys need to figure out how to make this happen. You never know where it will go! And if you're on TKP, Scott, I hope you still have that picture of Donna Dean squirreled away in a drawer somewhere.

Should have contacted Ms. Betty White, I believe she attended the Marine Ball a couple years ago with a fortunate young man. She may be 80+ but try to tell me she wouldn't be the most hilarious date.

Wow, Tim Curry has really aged well.
Gosh, he looks better than I remember...
And she's not happy
via GIPHY
Gah dang even when she angry, she MAD HOT.
I have the same birthday as Emma. There has to be something to this...
.............happy belated birthday.
I bet no one has ever seen you two inthe same place a the same time.......
You are actually both the same person, eh?
Jayson be not Bud...nor Emma, for that matter.
oh this is gonna be a fun thread
Think its a coincidence she is wearing a maroon and orange tie??!!
Sorry to ruin the party, but the tie is actually gold and red - colors of Gryffindor
Here are more accurate representations of the tie:
jk, I'm happy someone pointed this out
In the photo above it is Maroon and Orange!
...and the dress was blue!

1/2 plus 7. That's the acceptable age gap. Anyone above half your age plus 7 years is, generally, socially acceptable.

so...I'm just curious, why Emma Watson out of all of the hot celebrities out there? It is the whole "approachable hot" angle she's got going for her?
She's the granddaughter I'm really glad I never had. OK, maybe I should just make sure here...IT WAS JUST A JOKE. Carry on.
Figure it's just the magic of innocence gone wild !
Basically because of Harry Potter.

I think SNL explained it pretty well:
That's the hottest I've ever seen Lindsay Loho. Ever.
Thanks for that imbed!
Honestly, all I know about Harry Potter is from reading here, but that had me laughing out loud the whole way!
And yeah, Lindsey Lohan....um, yeah.
But she does want to thank Hokie Fireman
Lets just go ahead and get this one out of the way.
I remembered, it's in one of the other threads.
My happy marital status and role as a father make it impossible for me to contribute to this thread as I would like to.
Wait...everything on the internet isn't anonymous??!!
Oh, crap!

That is amazing
The story is supposed to conclude with "and then they had sex."
hopefully she was leaning out of a passenger window
Hermione got drunk and rode in a car?
Rude
/s
I always thought he said MudButt.
She was very happy when as a freshman she found out her roommate had never heard or watched the Harry Potter books/movies.
I thought this thread was gonna be about Mama Fuller. This is fine though, carry on.
Same here. I felt horrible about Mama Fuller (I thought the SI article may have mentioned it). I'm less upset about missing Emma Watson's.
For serious, can we send Mama Fuller the edible arrangement to end all edible arrangements now without a violation?
It's not a violation of sh doand sent have any more kids eligible...so let's get her something...really nice!
Yeah right? I thought it would be her or Cheryl.
And I thought this was going to be some weird, creepy thread about Joe's wife. I was pleasantly surprised.
Just saw the movie Noah. Even in that get up, there was something about her.
That's a bad one for ole Lurkin' Lerman
You guys are creepy. Where are you getting these images?
........

"Where are you getting these images?"

She died recently. Seems she did a country album in her past. Her's the album cover:
Very sorry to hear this. And believe it or not, she was pretty good at weather, too.

welp. time to go home.
That's just horribly glorious.
Can't stop watching this and laughing in my cubicle.
My gosh... just look at how wide that mouth opens. Mm. Simply mesmerizing.
Settle down, Bill
Ok. I'm good. Zoop-zop-zippity-zo. [Btw, I let you get away with that one because I love ya so much].
