A Whole Bunch Of Top Five Lists

I got distracted while writing that post title and if I hadn't caught myself right now you'd be reading an entry called "A Whole Bunch Of Tits." Which might make my readership go up but in a misleading way and I don't do that anymore.
Basically, I have gathered a bunch of topics for lists because it's the kind of thing I enjoy doing. Restricting myself to five entries per topic guarantees I'm going to be leaving out things I really love, which will frustrate me to no end. But I have to stick with my own parameters.
