Brocolli,

You’re funny but stephen had a good point about being rose and raised. Reservouir Dog it is called the “Lord’s Supper”. But Jesus is not a zombie he keeps his hands to his side except when he healing somebody.

Kenneth Branagh. The guy can act. Sing. Dance. Direct. Produce. Write. Married Emma Thompson, who also sings, dances, acts… waitaminute… divorced her. Scratch that.

How about Patrick Stewart?

Oh, **Ethilrist** , you were so close, but couldn’t quite grasp it:

**Emma Thompson**.

Close runner-up:

**Cecil Adams**

Stepping-on-his-heels-close second runners-up:

**snopes** and **Barbara Mikkelson**.

Distant third, but still holding his own:

**David B.**

The coolest person alive is my gilfriend. For everything I have ever done wrong she’s forgiven me. For every error I’ve made she look past it. For everytime I didn’t do the right thing she believed in me. Oh yeah not to mention she has a nice rack and a very fine ass.
