The Top 10 Reasons Why I Haven't Done a Top 10 Yet

Posted on Feb 27th, 2006 by ~Matthew : Youthful Maturity ~Matthew






1.       I'm not as cool as Coolmel or Keanu.
2.       It's not as original as just making stuff up.
3.       I probably won't be able to think of 10 things.
4.       Why ten?  Why not a baker's dozen?
5.       I'm worried people will think less of me for doing it.
6.       If I offend a banana with reason number 6, I might get kicked in the seeds.
7.       Top Ten lists make babies cry and say stuff like "aragan" and ";_;".
8.       There's always something better to do.
9.       I have a life.
10.     Just kidding about number 9.

Hi Yuri!  A top ten is a ranked list.  For example, you might have a “Top Ten Country Music Songs of 1994…
1. Achy Breaky Heart
2. Lost My Boat
3. Lost My Wife
4. Lost My Appetite
… etc.”

Or “The Top Ten Ways to make a basket…
1. Underwater Weaving
2. Above-water Weaving
3. Fixing a Broken Basket
… etc.”

Top Ten Lists are very common in the United States (do you not see them much in Canada?)  I think that David Letterman really popularized them around these parts.

Does that help answer your question??

Much Love and Laughter (and Light),
Matthew
