The Laminated List. (a FRIENDS flashback)

I used to have this poster on my bedroom wall when I was in junior high.
I became a FRIENDS fanatic when I watched the pilot episode. I was in 8th grade. I laughed that first season till I cried. I was hooked. Thursdays were sacred. I still have a FRIENDS coffee mug. (I used it just the other day.) It's the only tv show that I have the entire series on DVD and I completely and utterly love that show. Still.

So...does anyone remember the episode with the "laminated list"? Season 3, Episode 5?

Anyone? Anyone?

Well, you see, they were all sitting at the coffee shop (duh!) and they're talking about which 5 celebrities they would get to sleep with, no arguments from their significant other. Of course, Ross takes it to a whole new level and has his list laminated. No going back.

You really should see the episode. Mainly because, it's one of those things that has leaked into our every day. In fact, it's been a topic of conversation that I've overheard quite a bit lately. Which of course got me thinking...

Who'd be the 5 on my laminated list? It's a question that needs an answer. It's a question that needs countless hours spent in research and contemplation. For crying out loud, it's a laminated list!!!!!

But, here's the deal. I can only think of 3. Sure, there are lots of celebrities out there that I adore. But this list is to be laminated. There's no messing up, you know. I'll tell you who I have:


3. Ewan McGregor.
He isn't doing it here, but it's his smile. And the fact he can sing in perfect pitch. And he's hilarious.



2. Jon Hamm

Don Draper from Mad Men. Really? Do I have to say more?




1. Daniel Craig

I didn't even know he existed until he was picked for the new James Bond. Then I went and saw it with Evan in the theaters. And then I told Evan right then and there that if Daniel Craig were to meet me on the street and tell me to run away with him, I would have absolutely no choice. None. It would be beyond my powers to stop myself.

Evan just shrugged. He is used to my crazy by now.

So, I must know...who's on your laminated list?!?!
