Priceless. No idea how the author could put them in any ranking order, though... how on earth do you decide between an Oompa-Loompa and Badger-Lovin' Beavis, or Cameron Diaz and the Leprechaun???

Mark Longmire hosts an eclectic website. My favorite section is where he re-titles romance novels and photoshops the new title on the cover. Hilarity ensues. Go »

That's Entertainment

Recently, we held the Annual Empoyees Event for the credit union for which I work.
