    Im sure Stella will disagree with that one, there is a Satans Bed clip she loooooves.

    Also, once we reach 100, the next topic should be (and it's only fair):

    The Top 100 funny/strange/wierd things about Aussies/Australia

    That would be interesting hehe
    Stars walk the red carpet because they're famous - I walk the toilet paper because im the shit.
