I've specifically _avoided_ naming celebrities and other "offensive" items in my posts.
In general, this is a topic that most men should _never_ introduce.
As far as your Holy Grail comment, you don't know how _dead_on_ you are!
I was thinking the _exact_same_ when Chad's post came through.
I'll discuss this further over on Politics.

Guys...while this entire thread reminds me of the "Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate" discussion from the Holy Grail, I think this is a thread better taken off-line. While I am not at all politically correct, some subscribers to this list might take offense to this. Again, not me...but I've learned the hard way that these kind of comments can bite you in the butt when you least expect it.

Angelina Jolie isn't perfect, by any means, for my tastes. She enjoys the benefit of being well-known, however. Whatever women you're talking
about would almost certainly have been unrecognizable by name to many list members. I chose a celebrity to reference BECAUSE SHE IS A CELEBRITY, and therefore it is a given that, if she were present (or even if someone that looked like her were present), she'd be noticed and
would draw attention. You talk about making assumptions, and here you are assuming all sorts of things.
