Rather than threadjack, new thread. Citizen Kane
It's a sled. No need to watch it again. lol. 'bout time somebody said it. #1 movie of all time, my ass. Regarding War and Peace. To paraphrase spacey, "#1 book of all time, my ass." I forced myself to read it cover to cover and it just didn't do a single thing for me. Freakin' soap opera. Give us your top overrated whatevers. P.S. Bruce Springsteen is a given, no need to waste bandwidth on that one.  |

Band: Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Queen, Guns N Roses
TV Show: Law and Order (any of them), Curb your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld, [edit] Friends
Beer: Heineken (*fudge* that *feces*! Pabst Blue Ribbon!)

Jesper Parnevik - unless you're talking about his choice in nannies; in that capacity the dude is spot on.
Lindsey Lohan - as both an actress and a hottie worthy of any press.
Napoleon Dynamite - yeah, I got it; but that doesn't make it good.
Krispy Kreme - they're freaking doughnuts, get over it.
Starbucks - it's freaking coffee, get over it.
My drives - nuff said.
Roses - they never got me outta trouble, you?

I can agree with every item on this list. I haven't ever seen you drive, but every other item is spot on, so I'll assume you know what you're talking about. |

Well, early on in my DS career I was known for being a BIG hitter. I could hit a nice high draw, with a few beyond 300 a round. One was measured via GPS to be 342 yards - my longest ever as far as I know (only in the desert, I'm tellin ya). Given my size this was quite a feat, and hence the tales took shape. Since then however, I no longer hit it very high, the draw has turned into a hook, and 280 is about my peak unless something really good happens. I really miss the driver swing I used to have, I think I lost it in the bottom of a margarita glass. |

Seeing as your list breaks down approximately: 25% Aske 25% Spacey 15% U.B. 13.3% stroh 6.6% Mozilla Twins 5% Art Vandelay 5% 2i 5% Jules Some of us might have to spread a smite or two out over a couple of days to get you the 10 you want. |

Great thread! I agree with Krispy Kreme, Crash, Catcher in the Rye, and Fountainhead (even though I loved Atlas Shrugged) I'll contribute The Alchemist, American Beauty, Lost in Translation, Annie Hall, Sideways, Barry Zito. |
