I'm not going to list these because no one knows these people. And they don't read the blog so they won't know. But I'll email them the list questions.
Roped? More like horsewhipped, perhaps. But having read both your answers, I'd be more than happy to have you as neighbours and the way I feel about some of my neighbours, that's a pretty high compliment. We'll have to talk about that Winona Ryder thing first, though.
Ooh, a neat list. I'll work on this and post it by tomorrow.
Yeah, me too. Be back tomorrow!
All right, mine's up. You can see it here:

Winona Ryder...right with you, my friend. Even as late as Alien Resurrection I was into her, but I think that was just the fumes from my earlier infatuation. How the mighty have fallen...
