My Pretentious Ramblings
April 30, 2002 - Last week Bill Simmons wrote about a particular television episode that is very near and dear to my heart...the "Freebies" episode of Friends from a few years back. Do all of you know what I'm talking about? I am pretty sure that it is a hallmark for our generation...though that may only be true for the pop culture obsessed like me. Anyways, if you are not familiar with the episode, here is the deal:

      Ross and Rachel decide that each other is allowed to submit a Top 5 list of celebrities that, if the chance occurs, they are allowed to sleep with with absolutely no repercussions of any kind. The boyfriend/girlfriend must allow it due to the one in the million chance of it actually occuring.

     Needless to say I have subjected each of my girlfriends over the last five years to this discussion. One ex and I actually went to the trouble of actually carrying around this list on notecards. So I need to know, am I alone on this? Or do some of you do it too?

Kiley will only indulge me so much, so we don't have a current list. If we did, I could name two of hers for sure...Ethan Hawke and Peter Krause (Nate on
Six Feet Under). She also once asked me if a nameless Rice basketball player qualified as a celebrity for these purposes but I smartly and emphatically declared that he did not. Without further ado, here are my  cuurent top five in no particular order: Katie Holmes, Jennifer Garner, Natalie Portman, Josie Moran, and Rachel Weisz. All brunettes, yet I always end up dating blondes and redheads...I am sure that says something about me but I don't want to hazard to guess what. I am very fickle, so this list will be updated occasionally...I may even add it to the side panel. Please feel free to submit your top five lists in the guestbook...use the name of "Dave Wang" if you do not want to sign your own.
