Top 10 Top 10 Lists of 2007.
These are the Top 10 Top 10 (or Top 9, or Top 40) Lists I saw in 2007. Coming soon, the Top 10 Top 10 Top 10 Lists. And one or two of these may be from 2006 or 2008, but I really don’t care.
10. Oddorama.com did a post titled “10 Top Funny, Odd and/or Interesting Images of 2007“. The images are just as the title said - interesting, funny, and usually odd. This particular one made me chuckle - not only a funny image, but a great FedEx advertisement and a nice burn on UPS. Oddorama.com is all about weird news and the site claims to be “a labor of lust… a cheap trick”.
9. Lifehacker.com’s post called “Top 10 Obscure Google Search Tricks“. Some functions you didn’t know about Google’s search engine, but that will undoubtedly become a necessity in your life. And if they don’t, who cares? Lifehacker.com is everything to do with life… and hacking it.
8. AskMen.com does quite a few Top 10 lists, my favorite being “Top 10: Celebrity Mustaches“. Not only does this Top 10 list include Tom Selleck, but a variety of other superstars in the “celebrity mustache grind”. I wonder if AskMen.com optimized after this post dropped? I mean, “Tom Selleck” is THE most searched phrase in the history of mankind, or any kind. Tom - we love you, but stop doing guest spots on shows like “Boston Legal”. Oh god… I just said I loved Tom Selleck. Damn that mustache!
7. Lifehack.org is a great resource for valuable “Top 10″ lists, this one being my nerdy favorite: “Top 10 Firefox Extensions to Improve Productivity“. All of the extensions are functional, if not very exciting. But hey, the URL fixer seems ready to party - ” URL fixer will replace the common typos you enter when typing a Web site into the URL bar… The auto correct feature of URL fixer is very helpful. “. Whoaaa URL Fixer, pace yourself, you want to be able to stay up all night!
6. Deputy-Dog.com has a couple “Top 10’s” in my “Top 10 Top 10″, this one dealing with the “Top 9 Unique Structures Soon to be Built“. These buildings all seem very “back-to-the-future-esque”, and I love it. After these are all built, I am going to tour the world with the specific intention of visiting each of these monstrosities and spitting off the top of them. Not to hit anyone below, but to say I did. And to be in the Guinness Book of World Records - my ultimate goal in life.
5. Lifehacker.com’s “Top 10 BitTorrent Tools and Tricks” is another nerdy joy of mine - the guide to downloading everything you want but mostly shouldn’t legally own. These tricks will have you evading federal prosecution in no time. I think my favorite bullet point includes the words “OutwitYour Traffic-Shaping ISP”. Nevertheless, try out these tricks to download the crap out of “The Office”.
4. QuigSpot.com has a great Top 10 know as “The 10 Most Obnoxiously Overquoted Movies“. These are a collection of the most over-used movie quotes recently. Personally, “Anchoman” is my “movie of choice” to over-quote voraciously. “300″ is a close second only because a co-worker probably said “the” line upwards of 10000000000 times a day. If that’s even possible.
3. TorrentFreak.com put out a list of the “Top 10 Most Pirated Movies and TV Shows of 2007“. It is probably a better gauge than the box office of how popular a movie really was, and a better guide than any ratings will tell you for TV. Apparently it’s time for me to watch “Shooter”, and find out what the show “Top Gear” even is!
2. VertusTech.com put together their “Top 40 Photoshopped Images” for your viewing pleasure. These tend to impress me more than most, only because Photoshop is a mystery to me. It is a true art form to be able to modify someone else’s art form with that degree of precision or believability. Aside from the fact that I could never do this, I love to “giggle with glee” at some of the comedic images they put together. After an alliteration I am always apt to act… well, altruistic? affectionate? Forget it.
1. Deputy-Dog floats my “#1 of the Top 10″ boat with their “Top 10 Physical Transformations for Film“. Although this is probably the best facial difference (and match for that matter), the best body transformation HAS to be Christian Bale. For “Machinist” he lost 63lbs in a few months, then in 6 months he gained 100lbs for “Batman Begins”. That is a 163lb difference in the course of one year. And of course, the assistance of the best personal trainers in the world. Still, an amazing transformation.
Definitely check out TOP GEAR. Seriously. If you like cars, or even if you don’t, it’s by far the most interesting car show ever made.
I gotta agree with Stutz; Top Gear is an entertaining show about cars, but it’s not only for those who like them. This show is supposedly downloaded a LOT all throughout the world; I’d imagine it’s because people don’t get the BBC on TV.
