sharkycharming Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I may have thought it possible to make a list like this before I went and read the lists that have already been posted. It's too Sophie's Choice for me -- I can't do it. But damn, I wish I could sit around and drink beer/listen to music with you people in real life. Great lists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
