    but why no cat? a cat is a poem, as Mr Twain commented (I forget what a dog is but something very mundane).

    A dog, I have always said, is prose; a cat is a poem. ~Jean Burden

    I’m a cat person. Dogs are too loud and have something against my trying to concentrate.

    I was just thinking that I didn’t have a celebrity for 2008. Now I do.

    Oh I hope this is not for the Death Pool :wink:

    LOL.

    No, I already scored with Charlton Heston and have moved Amy Winehouse into first position.

    Its just that I always manage to come into contact with some sort of celeb annually - perhaps because the Toronto Film Festival is held near my office so its not unusual to find myself waiting in line at Starbucks behind a Tom Cruise type. (He’s very short, btw)
