6. You missed Crawford, Texas!
A list like this simply must have Crawford on it. I refuse to vote until you put Crawford on this list.

15. He was also whacked out of his skull...
Peyote, Benzedrine, codiene, morphine...who knows what he was looking at.

That being said, the women in Des Moines are darned attractive. Or they were when I was 25.
