My motivation in starting this list was to have some kind of sampling on the sidebar. My motivation in finishing it is having Catfish Stew mentioned in this week's Sports Illustrated. So if you're coming here from there, read a sampling below, and then vote for us.

Note: This is just a list my own writing that I'm happy with. Philip and Ryan can make their own doggone lists. Call me selfish if you like. ;P The list is below the fold...
