1. Nerds
2. Airheads
3. Sour Patch Kids
4. Skittles

6. Silk peppermint candies with chocolate centers
7. Some hard, square caramel-lemon things I can't even remember the name of

3. Bubble-Double

Nicholas Perez33, 🙂

My top 3 most disgusting vomit encounters:
1. My buddy puking from too much booze right in the middle of the high school hallway—cabbage rolls everywhere—about ten feet ahead of my parents while I was waiting for a parent-teacher conference.
2. A friend managed to leave a literal puddle at the bus stop that stretched halfway across the intersection.
3. Some girl at a New Year's Eve party, naked on a toilet, hugging a sink that had just been clogged by a guy throwing up until it was overflowing.

Ugh, now I'm just making myself nauseous thinking about it...

Cats are awesome. I'll introduce you to this stray I know and then you'll get it.😍
She looks just like Sylvester from the cartoons, minus the red nose. Black and white, fluffy, gorgeous coat, always groomed, loves affection, terrified of cars, and follows me partway home every single time. She’s got these stunning green eyes and always cheers me up when I'm feeling down. What you call "selfishness," I call having a personality.

Horses are mid. They're needy, dumb, and they smell.

So, my top 5 cutest animals:
1. Kitty
2. snail
3. raccoon
4. dolphin
5. piglet

hollowangler68 said:Top 3 animals I'd never eat, even if they were delicious.

1 dog
2 horse
3 bear

Honestly, I'd probably try anything else.

What about a rabbit? Hard pass. 🙂

Swapping the horse for a Kitty, and the bear for a seahorse.

Top 5 things everyone else hates, but I actually dig:

1. heavy blankets
2. zucchini
3. towels washed without fabric softener
4. bad poetry
5. windstorms

"Lose" is translated. Honestly, it’s untranslatable. Even the Pearls aren't always easy to capture, like this one or that one.

no idea said:My top 5 comics:
1. Calvin & Hobbes
2. Alan Ford
3. Mataković
4. Dylan Dog
5. Mark Waaaaaah😁

Waaaaaah, no Pearls before swine, no Peanuts, or Dilbert?! Not even Huljica or Corto Maltese? Figures. 🙂

no idea said:5. Pearls before swine (after Carol Jackson45 dropped some gems on the NP thread) 🙏

You'll get 500 bucks on a gift card for all this editing. 😘

Top 5 most boring school books:
1. Branka 2. Brank
2. Brank... 🙂 The Sorrows of Young Werther
3. Tears of a Prodigal Son
4. The Return of Filip Latinovicz (come on man, stop bullshitting, it's barely twenty pages)
5. 5. breza

Micek 😍 🙂 Things will look up. 😉

Susan Clark10 said:Why isn't my dog on this list? 😛

What do you mean? He's right at the top. It literally says "my dog."😁

Did anyone mention Wolfgang Peterson yet?

What about Danny Boyle?

Actually, just any director who made the move over to the States😁

Melissa Collins41 said:For me, it's Charlie 😍 and the Witch from Roald Dahl.

I was actually thinking about adding those, but I didn't get to Charlie until way too late. And the Witch? That was my absolute Horror growing up. I was terrified some creepy old lady would brush my hair and trap me in a painting or turn me into a chicken or something equally twisted, so I just skipped it. 🙂
BTW, did you know Roald Dahl actually came up with the idea for Gremlins (the ones messing with airplane engines)?

Cipolino. 😍 Grandpa som Ah 😍 Dammit, I'm extending this list. 😁

Top 5 summer dance hits that'll definitely get your hair standing on end:
1. Some Spanish track that played constantly last summer—don't ask, I don't want to know the name.
2. Ketchup song (asereje)
3. Chihuahua 4. Macarena 5. Lambada

Mr. Wrong said:The top two kids' books: "Hero of Pavlov Street" and "Through deserts and jungles". 😍

Yeah, German popped into my head, but only after the fact. Am I gonna have to stretch this list to 10 too? I'm missing Wind, Sailor, Around the World in Eighty Days, and Waitap 😁

Speaking of "Through deserts and jungles," did anyone actually figure out what animal that was supposed to be? A spotted hyena, maybe?

Man, you can really tell what I've been reading all summer 😁 😁 😁

Blue Whale said:Clearly you haven't even seen The Incredibles or Ice Age

I have, and honestly, everything you mentioned beats them. Whatever. 🙂

Laura Gonzalez44 said:SO WHERE'S THE DUCKLING ON VACATION??? 😲

Never read about a Duckling on vacation, but apparently Disney's daily stories almost made the cut alongside all of Grimm's fairy tales—mostly Wolf and the 7 Little Goats and Jack and Mary, then Three Before Little Fox, Muck the cat, Zivko the sparrow, and damn, looks like my Top 10 wasn't enough.🙂

stormyviper11 said:...even the Scotch tracks were better.

Are those the ones where you can hear every old recording buried under the new stuff?

stormyviper11 said:Am I tripping, or why are you hating on Eurhythmics? Since when did they become "uncool 80s" instead of just being a killer pop band?

Nuop, but I'm not feeling that song. It's grating.

My absolute favorite 80s hits:
1. Berlin - Take My Breath Away
2. George Michael - Careless Whisper (!!!)
3. Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart
4. Culture Club - Karma Chameleon
5. Fine Young Cannibals - She Drives Me Crazy

Jose Chase2 said:Top list of prophecies that actually came true:

1. John Smith in 'hourly rate' - we're only heading home via Denver🙏 🙏 🙂

2. Oliver in "2002" - everyone will have a phone 😁 😁 😁

stormywolf39 said:1. Oliver - Yellow Leaves of Love

Honestly, the way quiet this track is... I was dead certain Matko Jelavic was the one singing it until like two years ago.🤣>
