Mancake!

This is where you come when you want a slice of Mancake with your coffee...

Speaking of passion, Mrs. G. is pretty sure she had way too much of this guy's poetry on her fridge door when she was dating Mr. G.

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Lord George Gordon Byron, 1788-1824

So if George Clooney wrote poetry, I think he'd be JUST LIKE this guy;)
