Top Five Lists

I was just re-watching the wonderful film "High Fidelity" with John Cusack. I reflected on his character's tendency to make "Top Five" lists...

and decided to make a couple of myself:

There, I should get some hate mail over that. I was going to do the Top Five Regrets I have, but I realized three of them would have truly, deeply and unnecessarily offended and hurt others, so I better keep that one to myself.
