Seriously, Why Didn't I Think Of This Before?

I have a few ideas for posts brewing in the old noggin, but unfortunately, I don't know which one to start with. Or which one would be worth reading, for that matter. So, I turn to you, dear reader. Cast your vote in the comments section and choose which long-form post will next grace the face of this, my little corner of the Internet.

Here's your choices on things you can hear me rattle on on and on and on about:

* Rolling Stone just released their 100 Greatest Singers list. Hear me get all whiny about it. Expect more than a little negativity to get directed toward Steve Perry.

* An essay entitled Mike Allred, Madman and Mormonism, wherein I look at how the cartoonist's faith has informed his work. And if it's a good idea for it to.

* A Random Record Review from my iTunes library. Or should this be a recurring thing?

* A post about Fringe, although it might just be better to do a wrap-up once the season ends.

* A post wherein I talk about the Spice Girls, alien abduction, Stan Lee's hairpiece and the Code Of Hammurabi while simultaneously dropping nuggets about my adolescence and deep-seated desire in the mid-80's to be a professional breakdancer but couldn't because I was living in rural Utah and didn't really know how to breakdance. It would be like Footloose only with more tractor chicken-racing, a lot less dancing, and a scene where I vaporize the alien intruders with Bootsy Collins' Bop Gun. Also, bologna appears somehow. Maybe as a overarching theme.

* Pie.

* Um, anything else that you really want me to blab about. Seriously, I could use the incentive to come up with something to write about. But make it sort of easy. I'm pretty lazy. Actually, if you choose this option, give me one word to start with and I can go from there. Sort of like Miss Litt's class in high school, right Ryan? That would be awesome. Thanks.

I vote for a blog bout the Rolling Stone list. Seems like the mag's lists are typically pretty good. Brian Wilson and Kurt Cobain are always prominently listed. I'm going to check out the list soon...

Funny you should bring up Mademoiselle Litt. I was just thinking about that license plate exercise (describe yourself in seven letters or less). I am 30 years old, but I still try to concoct obscene acronyms and then imagine what her reaction would have been if I presented them to the class.

I'm throwing my votes behind the Allred idea and the Stan Lee hairpiece idea as those are both things I'd like to read about as written by you.
