I'm a bit surpised Speilberg didn't make your top 10, but it is your TT.

I think Rebecca DeMorney was one of the most beatiful women (and still is).

Books (of those I've read): The King of Elfland's Daughter, Midnight's Children, The Grapes of Wrath.

Cynic: I think Spielberg makes some great 90 minute movies... unfortunately, they last about 120-150 minutes.

RW: Not sad so much as bored and broke with a car that's grumbling AGAIN. Oh, and no girlfriend, hehe. So just an off-night is all.

Our TV died - I am very sad. I kinda thought of it as the energizer bunny - it is at least 10 years old (maybe 14). We got it from a guy who used it as a display in his satellite store so it had taken some hard knocks.

Yeah, everyone I know liked that movie, but I didn't get it. Brookes has some great ones, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, but Spaceballs was not one of them.

Oh, also Beetlejuice...definately Burton's worst.

Not good, but there are a lot worse movies than Krull and Dune. Spaceballs has some funny moments.

I'd put Joe Theismann in his place.

I just realized the majority of the guys on ESPN and ESPN 2 are annoying.

4. Bad-Ass Chick with Black-Leather Boots
9. She-Devil
10. Cardio Bunny

Yes. Really, it should be like a top 20 list but I wanted to keep with the theme of your thread.

I knew you'd have a response for that ESPN list, Nick.

I can't imagine how, but I forgot about Theismann and Stu-ya. Maybe they could replace Salisbury and Vitale on my list.

Awesome Salisbury story... A few years ago, I was at Champs on Indy's North side to watch a big Pistons-Pacers playoff game with some friends. The place was too packed to get a table, so we stood at the bar all game long, right next to Salisbury. He was definately the life of the party, as guys tried to buy him drinks all night while he hit on all the ladies there. Anyway, just when we thought it couldn't get any better, Jeff George walked in with his posse. Sean and Jeff hung out for a while my buddy and I eavesdropped on their conversation about Jeff's upcoming comeback attempt with the Bears. To top it all off, when Salisbury was leaving, he told a girl that was with (that was about 21 years old at the time) that she was the hottest girl in the whole bar. Definately one of the weirdest nights ever.

Chiron- Berman annoys me to no end. From what I hear, he's also pretty impressed with himself... and leather pants.


Sorry for taking things off track... Here's another list:

Top 10 Cheat Meals

1. Fresh Chocolate Chip Cookies with Milk
2. Icecream from ColdStone Creamery
3. Pizza
4. Rally's "Big Buford" Combo
5. Tortilla Chips and Queso dip
6. Cheese Fries (Lonestar's are the best)
7. Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory
8. Pumpkin Pie with Whipped Cream
9. A hot dog at a baseball game
10. Onion Rings
