Written by John Lichman

Today's official list comes to us from South Africa's The Post. What does today's list say?

  • 1. Passionately kissing someone who, until just a second ago, you thought you despised.

  • 2. Losing all 14kg of pregnancy weight in the time it takes to OW-OW-OW-AWWW! birth the baby.
  • 3. People leaping up to stop the wedding.
  • 4. Thirty seconds of passionate sex and then bam! - she has an orgasm.
  • 5. Wearing a bra while having sex.
  • 6. Working as an unpaid intern at a fashion magazine and getting an entire couture wardrobe totally free.
  • 7. Discovering that your cat can talk, your boyfriend can fly or there's an alien living in your toolshed.
  • 8. Inspired, poetic, spontaneous 'I love you' speeches.
  • 9. Day after day of perfect skin and buttery highlights.
  • 10. Tom Cruise, always looking tall.

    #11) You can slam your hands on your computer keyboard furiously and the computer will still work

    #12) Computer shut's down cos Monitor is shot
    #13) Telling a woman "A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do" and she neither laughs at you nor kills you.
    #14) Your car accelerates faster because you shift a gear up.
    #15) Your mechanic is a hot female

    #16) Buddy cops causing enormous amounts of damage to city (and private) property with no accountability.
    #17) Enemies are always horrible, horrible shots with their weapons, but you rarely miss.
    #18) The child wiz-kid cop-out. See Jurassic Park. The famliy is trapped and the security systems are down and password protected. The dinosaurs are closing in. The 8-yr old daughter announces "Wait, this is UNIX! I know this stuff!", then proceeds to fix everything with a few sudden keystrokes.

    What about the fight scenes? I punch you. You punch me. I punch you. You punch me. It goes back and forth, because neither of us wants to go down. Our. Heads. Are. Made. Of. Fluffy. Pillows.

    Well, I've personally experienced 1, 3, 5, and fenrir's 15. So all is not lost to us in the real world.

    Drayton this leaves two questions:
    Where does your mechanic work
    and
    why were you wearing a ra while having sex?
    :-D
