Do you really expect me to type a Top-100 List???!!! ARGH! 'Xcuze me, but I'm a lazy grasshopper! [:D]

On second thought, maybe I will be in the mood to finish my List later today (but since my mind changes every few minutes, who knows if I'll ever really get around to it! [B)])

...I will try though.[8D]
