Borrowing an idea from ESPN I want to compile a list of the Mount Rushmore's of. I implore you to contribute on this one. You may either comment on my or others lists but you may also leave a list of your own. Here's how it works.
Pick a category that you are passionate about. Who are the 4 most important figures that represent that passion? It is for all time, not just current or recent accomplishments.
One of the main reasons why I like this is because it is almost impossible to be negative. If you are going to earnestly put someone on the list, the only argument is why someone else thinks there is a better choice, not that yours is undeserving. Thus, you pretty much have to argue for something, not against something else. Those listed are not in any order...just top 4. That being said...here are some of my Mount Rushmore's.
The Mount Rushmore of:
Performers: Bruce Sprinsteen, Barenaked Ladies, Frank Sinatra, Dave Matthews.
Comedians: Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor, Lewis Black, Brian Regan.
MMA: Dana White, Royce Gracie, Randy Couture, Mark Ratner (former Nevada State Athletic Commisioner who now works to legalize MMA across the country).
YL character: Pumpkin Head, Duct Tape Man, Dan Dan the Music Man, Hoagie Guy.
Women I've dated: Just kidding.
Crappy but Awesome TV shows: Pick Up Artist, Rock of Love/ROL Charm School, Real World (the Godfather of them all), Family Guy.
Inspirational/Motivational People: Martin Luther King Jr., Jim Valvano , Dick Hoyt, Randy Pausch.
Offensive but Awesome TV characters: Archie Bunker, Vic Mackey, House, Sawyer (Lost).
Pittsburgh Athletes (from Pgh teams): Mario Lemieux, Honus Wagner, Roberto Clemente, Terry Bradshaw.
People as an audience: Brian Von Bloch, Joe Hines, Rachel, My mother.
