- The most important question of the day: -- (link) - Strongbad Dec 8, 09:57 6
  - Jude Law. He's got plenty of talent...and also experience in banging 2 women at a time leading to crisis. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 09:59 4
    - He also has the face for it. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 10:22 3
      - not quite punchable enough. Penn's better that way, but he's too old. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 10:24 2
        
        C'mon....every guy in the place wants to punch Jude Law just to put some character in that perfectly genetic-engineered face* -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 10:25 1
