John Lydon in "Cop Killer"
Sun Ra in "Space Is The Place"

Hip Priest 05.18.2007 05:06 PM

It would of course be only fair to mention Al Jolson in the fairly important flick The Jazz Singer.

John Lydon in "Cop Killer"
Sun Ra in "Space Is the Place"

Hip Priest 05.18.2007 05:10 PM

Nice one, MellySingsDoom. Unfortunately some rascal called MellySingsDoom has got there before you, on both nominations. Gah!

MellySingsDoom 05.18.2007 05:12 PM

What, this cannot stand, Hip Priest. I challenge this other Melly to a duel! I choose pasta shells at dawn.

Hip Priest 05.18.2007 05:15 PM

Shells, eh? Penne is the traditional choice in these situations, of course, but your maverick selection might just scare and confuse your opponent. Good thinking.
