Ten Terrible Things About… Top Ten Lists.

1)  It has always been my understanding that there would be no math. Math makes my head hurt.

2)  Being clever once is tough enough, never mind ten times.

3)  Letterman gets the best material. Its all politics….

4)  You can only write about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West so often, then the universe punishes you with bad karma.

5)  I find it hard to maintain focus when… what was I saying?

6)  Eventually your audience sees through the charade and realizes top ten lists are simply an easy way to fill space and free up time for your true passion: fronting a Justin Bieber tribute band.

7)  Commitment has never been my strong suit.

8)  My average reader stops reading my lists once they realize this isn’t Le Clown’s blog…

9)  At this point,  I usually rethink my entire life, especially my decision not to write a blog devoted to knitting superhero outfits for cats.

10)  I got nothin’. I told you composing top ten lists was difficult…

  1. This is good for me as math is evil and I am not your average reader…

  2. You are pretty good at lists, Hook! They always make me laugh. And you should definitely blog about, and knit, superhero outfits for cats. That’s where your money is!

  3. You write the best lists. They’re always hilarious, even when they’re about writing lists.

  4. Math and writing are polar opposites aren’t they???

  5. It’s not easy to come up with a post about … nothing. But you pulled it off, Hook.
    >Math makes my head hurt.
    - Trying to draft a post like this would make *my* head hurt.
    Good work, Hook!

  6. Don’t worry about being clever ten times. THere’s usually only two or three clever items, the rest are just padding.

    And lemme know if you ever go through with the superhero cat outfit thing.

  8. You wrote a passably good top ten list, a bit distracted, but aren’t all men a bit distracted? Mmmmm? Kim and Kanye are an example of bad karma, by the way. Nothing you could say about them would bring on bad karma. My opinion.

  9. I particularly like #1, since math literally makes me cry. My husband doesn’t understand how someone so analytical can not do math well. But enough about me… Nice list!

  10. I don’t do math…even if they say the word problems are mostly reading skills. Hey – is this post a sneaky math word problem? Unfair tricking us, Hook. Unfair

  11. You always got something! Letterman HAS writers…You ARE a writer. Zing!!

  12. Hey, who told you about the Ironman costume I made for the cat?
