omg! that's my fav!
i was thinking the other day about how often i hear people say something like; "oh man, (insert movie title, song, book, etc.) is definitely in my top 5..."
then i thought about the reckless disregard for math these claims represent.
i bet, over relatively small spans of time, any given person includes up to 10 or 15 movies, songs, books, actors/actresses, in their respective top 5 lists to suit whatever occasion in which they happen to find themselves... (i mean if you were to follow them around and keep track)
what of accountability, such as a master list somewhere to reconcile these claims with?
we need it. the public demands it.
not it.

not it too! but i do agree....people need to stop saying in their top 5 and start saying things like their top 25 or so :)
first of all , Joey, your portrayal of Fenerus Oaf (?) in Narnia was one of the Top 5 of all time. only 7 others have been better.
secondly i think its cool to have like ten songs in my top 5 list. i'm not gonna be boxed in by something as oppressive as MATH. if we can't speak in hyperbole, the terrorists have already won. 2+2=5
Lead of Love. top 5 song to sing in falsetto.
you're in my top 5.
my assumption has been certain items/choices don't always round off to one point. let's take an excerpt the category Top Five Musicians:
sufjan stevens: 3 points
the mountain goats: .73 points
david archuleta: 2 points
and so on...
