I believe that some people are born with an overly active inner monologue. The constant rumination of ideas, concepts, and (especially) the 'what ifs' results in an urge to seek a release of the inner thoughts through literary expression. God knows my inner monologue only shuts up when I write, even when what I write is crap (which others tell me isn't crap but I definitely perceive it as crap which leads me to believe that being overly critical of yourself is another trait of the same condition).

Look at J.D. Salinger, Kurt Vonegut, Steven King, et al; none of them are right in the head. I suspect that suicidal behavior is more pronounced in women writers and poets in that since, historically there were more barriers to getting published, those who were published were really, really good (ergo closer to the wings of madness).

Yeah, how well could you get out of the house with your eyes on fire from the wasabi in the air? I think people would wake up faster to the smell of bacon (I prefer turkey bacon).

The Yeti has a mighty stream and extraordinary aim. Unfortunately their tinkle is warm and is a major contributing factor, along with global warming, to artic ice loss.

Does it come loaded with prenup forms? I can also foresee that any information stored during the relationship could potentially be used against you in divorce proceedings.

I can honestly say I can't remember the last time I was bored. Sitting around, surrounded by quiet- yeah, I get that sometimes. Even so, I'll take boredom over abject terror anyday.

I'm glad to see that Grendel made the list. I would have placed it higher than 50. And I would have put in a couple more of Raymond Chandler's.

I agree with R.S., I would enjoy a longer list.

Personally I find the concept of beauty to be much more than simple physical attractiveness. The woman's personality, attitude, opinions, beliefs, actions, spirtuality, and much, much more must be taken into account. True beauty comes with that certain spark of vitality and wholesomeness that is missing in more than a few "beautiful" women I have known.

From a stand point of physical attractiveness the film crew could have stopped at the second girl and given her the title. In the end, I guess, it's the same as art - I know it when I see it.

I'm waiting for our current presidential administration to propose a 7 day work week in order to strengthen the economy. Of course the extra days worked wouldn't be paid, it would be a bonus to employers to offset any taxes the companies have to pay.
