Except this time, I'm making it harder. You have to choose only five.
They can be any five from the entire history of the Daily Apple. That is, you need not limit your choices to Apples 101 through 200. Please select from all the available Apples.
If you want to refresh your memory a bit, scan the Subject Index, a link to which is also always available in the right-hand frame. Peruse away.
Once you've made your selections, click on the Comments link at the bottom of this entry and list your favorites. If you want to share the reasons behind your choices, please do.
Many thanks, readers!

Hey, Fork Stealer, long time no... e-mail?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your five.
I have no idea what you mean by "reuben porn," by the way.
Do you mean the page full of sandwich pictures?
And how is that unusual, or lascivious?

I guess I better post my vote, too.
ReplyDeleteEero Saarinen, because I learned so much about a totally new subject, and he made really cool stuff.
Great Danes, because I think it's funny that these enormous dogs need their food bowls put up high or else they get belchy.
Lasagna, because it's lasagna, and because it's also about tomatoes and forks and manners and China and raisins.
Charlie's Angels, because it's maybe my all-time favorite TV show, and the entry has lots of pictures.
Llamas Visited, because visiting them is how I learned that llamas can stomp a coyote to death, and I heard them humming.
This, sent to me by e-mail, is another vote from a loyal reader who is currently studying to be a librarian:
ReplyDeleteDewey- For all of the obvious reasons.
Brain Freeze- It reminded me of my Slurpee drinking days and I never thought to look into after all these years.
Invention of the Urinal Cake- When I was a kid, our grocery store had a floor display of brightly packaged urinal cakes. I always thought they were candy because they came in bright red, blue, purple and orange plastic. They looked like popular candy flavors and I would ask my Mom if I could get one and she always said no. It took me a while to understand what they were and this entry brought that embarassing memory back to life.
Emma Goldman- I had never heard of her, but I am insanely impressed by her conviction. I wish I had heard about her sooner.
Pudding- I really love rice pudding, but I can not stand most other varieties. People rarely make good homemade pudding. I was especially offended by the meat pudding, which I will discuss with my British friend from school.
There you go, my top five.
#1 Llamas (duh.)
ReplyDelete#2 Dachshunds (the most delightfully ridiculous animal on the planet)
#3 David Lee Roth (do I really need to explain why?)
#4 The Whole Shebang (which is one of my favorite phrases EVER!)
#5 Axolotls (because they disturb me and, well, I guess I like that feeling sometimes) :D
