top10.jpgRoughkat earned this Commenter Of the Week with this witty barb at our Q&A with Erin Andrews:

So in summary of Part 1:

RB: So you’re on the internet.
EA: Yep, it’s weird.

RB: Remember that one time on YouTube?
EA: Kinda.
RB: That was awesome!

Ls and Gs, Roughkat:

My first thought was to start with the first 300 words of what would become the greatest sports related mockumentary that never existed. I decided to save that for an actual project to be produced by Stu’s new BFFs. I can just picture Stu moving in with Scott and Lisa, and Chili Davis comes over everyday to hang out, kinda like the Simpsons. I digress.

Top 10 lists are way overdone, which is why I’m taking it to the next level and giving you a top 10 list of top 10 lists that will never be. At the end, please add other lists or fill the list for any below.

10. Top 10 Kevin McHale Sweaters - A little known fact, McHale has Cosby on his speed dial and they spend countless hours debating cardigan vs pullover. Bagger Vance once described finding your “perfect shot” which is exactly how K-Hale thinks about finding the “perfect sweater.”

9. Top 10 Mark Madsen missed layups - Mad Dog himself once outlined a coffee table book he was going to put together on his blog. Due to some disagreements with the publisher, this project has been shelved indefinitely.

8. Top 10 Movie Montages - What makes up a great montage: 1 part inspirational song, 1 part look back in time, 2 parts training. Add salt and pepper to taste. You’ll win no matter if you’re fighting Billy Zabka, Mr. T, or skiing against the evil preppie dude.

7. Top 10 Circle Me Bert Signs - Is there a website for this yet? Or at least a YouTube collection? I’m lazy today and have googled too many things already for this just to come up an idea. My favorite: “Circle Me Bert. I like [redacted] more.” Very clever.

6. Top 10 Excuses to watch more of the game - It’s almost halftime. Next commercial. Lew Ford is about to pinch hit. I hate that I can’t use that last one anymore.

5. Top 10 Facebook friends of Matt Leinert - This list is constantly changing. Cindy moved off the list after passing out at the last party. But then Joanna moved up 4 spots when she made out with another girl in the hot tub. Becky told Matt how Erin has a boyfriend in college still so they switched spots.

4. Top 10 Dates with Joe Mauer - It’s a 10 way tie. Every one of the dates includes going to the Old Spaghetti Factory and then skating at the Depot across the street. During dinner the ladies will get to discuss which of his sideburns they like more. Only on 2nd dates do you get to visit Jimmy John’s.

3. Top 10 Mix Tapes - This debate began at a Pizza Hut in New Jersey once between Chuck Klosterman and Malcolm Gladwell. Gladwell was convinced that he could give anecdotal evidence of all the tapes he made for ladies in college and told many stories with no real conclusion. Klosterman compared Gladwell’s tapes to hermaphroditic ground sloths.

2. Top 10 Ways to Die in a Movie - Snakes on a Plane probably has 2 of them. Shark Attack 3 another couple. Obviously death by an animal moves you up in the rankings.

1. Top 10 Photoshopped Pictures of Actresses - Nothing brings the Internets to a screeching halt like the release of a new photograph of anyone remotely famous. A faked picture is even better because it probably contains the face of someone remotely famous but put in a situation we’d like to see. The most genius of computer hackerz have figured this out and have attached their viruses to emails promising pics or video taking down networks everywhere. I’m sure is what Al Gore had in mind when he invented The Internet in his garage.
