How true. People are not always what they claim to be. Didn't Cocles once say that he was a midget in real life? 
Maybe the technology will soon be available for people to transmit smells. Wasn't there an ill-fated Hollywood flirtation with Smell-O-Vision at one point? (Movie history people, that's your cue to step in) |

You know it's the ultimate goal of everyone who works on the internet to have a wardrobe that consists of little more than pajamas and bathrobes and to be able to completely abandon personal hygenie.

Yes, but it was simply one of those William Castle type marketing gimmicks. |

Oh they all tended to work to some degree.
They just do it for one film, then move on to another gimmick.
My favorite was when they sold life insurance policies before the film started in case anyone died of fright from all the thrills and chills. |

A good movie that plays on this is Matinee with John Goodman (1993)

Hey, how about a poll where people would have to guess who each person is? That could be fun too!

LOL! Yes that would be fun, but I can imagine it being a lot of work for Cal to keep track of. I suspect this will be an idea for next year.

Maybe after the competition, once someone has won (I guess that would be the 20th?) we have a poll to guess who actually won (what the screenname of the person who won is). Or perhaps just an idea for something do next year.
.. my brainstorm on to the previous posts...
I like the guessing games to go along with the sexiness .. makes everyone seem mysterious. Again, may the looikingest looker win! |

We could do this independently. A poll like:
Who do you think is pic #1?:
- name of participant
- name of participant
- ...
Who do you think is pic #2?:
- name of participant
- name...
or we could just put the question right under the pic of each.
Cal, do you think that would require a load of work?
