Friday 5
1. If you are forced to choose only one, what is the greatest single episode of a television series, ever?
The X-Files "Jose Chung's From Outer Space," where everyone is trying to get their story straight about an alien abduction. It's hilarious and kooky and wonderfully paced, and it has this moment.
2. If you are forced to choose only one, what is the greatest opening line of a song, ever?
"Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night" from Bruce Springsteen's "Atlantic City." It's absurd, it's based on real history, and it sets the tone for the whole song, which is one of the greatest songs ever written.
3. If you are forced to choose only one, what is the greatest movie kiss of all time?
Westley and Buttercup in The Princess Bride, but mainly because of Peter Falk's narration: "Since the invention of the kiss there have been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind."
4. If you are forced to choose only one, what is the greatest building of all time?
The Space Needle, but I'm a little biased because it's where I got engaged.
5. If you are forced to choose only one, what is the greatest candy — not a candy bar — of all time?
Chocolate-covered pistachios
