    Given that we've seen a plethora of threads acknowledging famous figures, maybe it's a good idea to collate and discover who the greatest of them all actually is.

    What, nothing about Hal Needham, director of Smokey & The Bandit and Cannonball Run?

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
