Personal Top Lists & Rankings

Michael Newman50 said:My absolute #1 wish from when I was fourteen—since you guys are practically forcing me to dig through my teenage memories:

1. To be able to shapeshift, dammit 😁 just to flyyyyyyyy

That’s never happening for me... I guess I'll have to pick up smoking again if I want that raspy, soulful voice I had a few days ago 😁

The smog here really messes with my voice—it’s actually somewhat bearable when we’re in the middle of a heatwave.
But once I finally get back home? I turn into a total chihuahua.

I’ve been donating blood every three months for years now, so I know the drill, but I have to say... I actually dig this new setup where you get compensated for doing the exact same thing. 🙏 🙏 🙏

Woohoo! Is this just another one of those guys with a brain the size of a cracked PVC pipe? 😁 😁

octopus said:The top three things I actually accomplished by age 14:

1. Snagged a kiss from a girl in my class
2. Saw Pearl Jam live
3. Made some quick cash flipping pancakes

😁

You’re missing one massive thing on this legendary list, though you didn't explicitly say it, and honestly, you deserve a Medal of Freedom from the President for that alone because we all know exactly what you're hinting at here!
Just waiting for the chance to give you props, Giga.

My top 5 highlights from today:

1. Ran into Robin Williams6
2. Grabbed some extra spicy falafel down in Chelsea
3. Had to soothe my mouth burn with a block of Nutella
4. Spent some time listening to Secret Chiefs on my old Discman

And my top 4 low points:

1. Dealing with those crowded subway commutes
2. Sitting in the dentist's chair
3. Hunting for a shop that actually stocks Osram lightbulbs
4. Navigating through absolute bureaucratic hell

Here are my top 5 least favorite things about winter:

1. Firecrackers
2. Christmas
3. Wearing a wool beanie and having your hair completely ruined
4. That messy transition when the snow melts and everything just turns into mud
5. The fact that you can only grab an iced tea to go at McDonald's

Rick Lee said:That’s just basic science—if you aren't locked in and focused, you're definitely going to end up playing solo.😁

I don't have any issues with that. I always end up with just enough pita left over for the last slider... or maybe some fries for that final piece of brisket.

What was I even thinking at 14?
- Just wanting to be the quiet, invisible kid in class
- Wishing high school would hurry up so I could actually find my people—since I spent all of middle school being the absolute bottom-of-the-barrel outsider

Here’s the list of tracks I blasted at work today—basically what happens when I just hit shuffle on my entire library and pray

1 The Flaming Lips - Pilot Can at the Queer of God
2 Buzzcocks - Love You More
3 Cal Tjader and Lalo Schifrin - The Fakir
4 Grace Jones - Do or Die
5 Paul Simon - Papa Hobo
6 Lambchop - You Masodine You
7 Morrissey - Billy Budd
8 McLusky - That Man Will Not Hang
9 Air - Dead Bodies
10 M. Ward - A Voice at the End of the Line

Here are my top 3 favorite snapshots from tonight’s deep dive into some random corners of the web:

edit: I was told the images might not be showing up because the file sizes are a bit large, though they seem to load perfectly fine on my end! If anyone is actually curious to see them, maybe just copy and paste the link to view them directly...

Rick Lee said:I finally cracked the code by ordering with a buddy—since I never really eat burgers myself anyway. We grabbed two smalls and one large, and sure enough, if you order two larges, they throw in a free bun.😎

So, I figured out the workaround by just getting a medium plus an extra bun. Or, if you're at a quick diner, just grab a small and a bun.☕

Mine hasn't even recovered yet. It cracks constantly. Most of the time I'm just clearing my throat.😳

@ Nicholas Perez33 - the one with the chicken in the dumpster is 😂

redcrane28 said:...back when I was 14, I just couldn't bring myself to hook up with the "class geek." Lastane, am I losing my mind here? 😬

Nah, you're totally fine.
It’s basically common knowledge that emo kids aren't exactly known for their game.🙂

boldscout72 said:You’re actually being recognized because of one specific thing regarding this list of legends—you just haven't explicitly stated it yet—and you might even earn a Congressional Medal of Honor from the local veterans for your service. You know exactly what I'm talking about!
I’ll wait for the praise from Elon Musk...

Well then, if you insist... a Medal of Honor for me... and my little girl. 😁

There’s some kind of secret link
A rule that binds us all deep inside
The way a man ties himself up
When choosing which path to ride

😁

What? What part of this isn't crystal clear? 😁 😁
