It's been pointed out by several people that the Friday Random Ten, AKA Shuffle, IPOD Ten, etc. has made its way to the EgoSystem's top rankers. Therefore, I now pronounce it "uncool."
This Friday will be my last edition.

Bummer. We'll have to buck the trend with something new, I suppose.

How about "10 movies ranked in the Bottom 100 of all time on the Internet Movie Database that you have seen"?
I'll start:
1. Best Defense (#95)
2. Mac and Me [part of a Mr. Sinus production where people made fun of the film in real time] (#90)
3. Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (#89)
4. Robocop 3 (#78)
5. Crossroads [Mr. Sinus again] (#73)
6. Rhinestone (#60)
7. Cool as Ice (#36) Yep yep!
8. Hercules in New York (#35) Dovetails nicely into the new caption.
9. Battlefield Earth (#31)
10. Manos: The Hands of Fate [the real MST3K] (#3)
Here are the others

Karlo at Swerve Left did the movie thing.
In the words of Diesel Sweeties' Indie-Rock Pete: "I liked you better before you sold out" (kidding).

Oh, "in the bottom 100". Sorry, norbizness, that's not the same thing at all. My bad.

May I carry the banner of uncoolness?
Posted by: Lauren | 19 January 2005 at 15:36
Yes Lauren, you may carry the banner of uncoolness. Be my guest. Then, if I feel like doing it, I'll post in comments at your site. Perfect.

What? My Members Only jackets aren't cool. C'mon, I thought they were cutting edge!

Well, Bryant, you live in Tokyo. Pillbox hats are still cool there.

Thank Gawd that's all over with.
The Friday Random Ten was only pissing me off, seeing as how I don't have an iPod and all. By the time I finally get one, everyone else will have devices that hold 10,000 songs, 400 full-length movies, and three seasons' worth of TV shows. All in full-color, digital stereo with optional Odorama (or Smellovision), uploadable directly into the pleasure centers of your brain. The device will cost $1.75, but the cord that hooks up to your brain will cost $2,000.
Aw, shit.

Only new leopard-skin pill box hats...

Dude, you're supposed to say, "It's just not punk rock anymore." And then pretend you never did it in the first place.
Posted by: Amanda | 19 January 2005 at 21:25
On punk rock, does this mean that the bloggers who do top tens now considered sell outs?
Posted by: tas | 19 January 2005 at 23:44
I have an iPod and I never could figure out how to make it give me a random list...
