Two things you must know about these 12 lists:
1. Each list will contain 12 items, in no particular order.
2. There will be limited links & images, because we got a late start on this (the 50 Greatest G.I. Joes was a huge undertaking, people!). Corey, Joe, Howie & Tank literally cranked these lists out in minutes, Lightning Round-style. There’s sure to be some omissions. Please leave comments.

top 12 next in line to date Taylor Swift… if #8 happens.. we need her to do an Underscoopfire theme song.
and the Clark Griswald Top 12… you HAVE to repeat it out loud..
Absolutely. Best rant/tirade ever.
I laughed at that one so loud everyone looked at me like was crazy. I think MeisterShake could pull that one off.
He absolutely could! I doubt he’d want to, but he could.
Where are the 90’s Red Wings in the dynasties?!?!?!
I call icing.
They were good, but as usual hockey takes a back seat to the other sports. #shotsfired
You lift off the 13th month, Dingleberryber
How ignorant of me!
You got me at the first list of 12!
I was hoping you guys would do an article on our favorite stores of the past. That’s one of my favorite topics. The memories of those places and the great stuff you bought at them.
Here’s hoping for a full article with pics and memories! *hint hint nudge nudge* 😉
Great idea for an article. I don’t remember many specifics, but I might be able to piece something together. Wish I had pics!
There are pics out there of these awesome stores of the past. I have several saved on my pc as well as posted on my pinterest page. I’ll gladly help contribute!
Very nice! What a fun, brief post of fun lists and fun.
As a proper nerd, it is time to argue these lists! With RAGE.
Okay, all I came up with was Catwoman, because how could that movie have been disappointing? I have to imagine the handful of people out there who had high hopes riding on that theatrical experience were more than satisfied since they don’t exist, so I choose to give them a happy ending. Nobody thought expecting anything good from this movie, did they? Maybe during the planning and announcement stages? The movie simply can not be considered a disappointment.
Oh, wait. I knew it was no good and I watched it on HBO and it still managed to be not only bad, but it failed to even entertain in a bad movie sort of way. Gosh, even her dumb looking helmet thing managed to destroy whatever sex appeal they were aiming for with her silly outfit.
Except for maybe my brother, I mean. His old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues were packed full of helmets he had cut out of Starlog and Fangoria and pasted in the lady photos to enhance the experience. Rocketeer, Robocop, Imperial Snowtrooper, you name it. My personal favorite was a 3 page foldout featuring the terrifying mask of Master Blaster, complete with the piggy-back component my brother was so fond of. My brother probably still hated Catwoman, I imagine.
Anyway, well played. Catwoman did indeed perform the impossible and disappoint by failing to hit the lowest bar I could set for it. The lists do not lie.
This, my friend, is a candidate for Comment of the Year.
Bravo sir.
Hilarious. The Griswold, Swift, and MacGyver lists all made me laugh at my desk, causing me moderate embarrassment.
Always happy to cause public shame.
