2006 Worsts, Mosts, and Bests

Like every other lazy pretentious slob that imagines their opinions are more than projected insecurities and the barely veiled envy of other's talents, ambition, and willingness to even try, I offer my assessment of 2006's Bests, Worsts, and Mosts.

Most Depressing Day Because My Dog Died and I was Supposed to be Enjoying a Romantic Weekend in Napa With QweenBeen:
October 6th.

Most Frustratingly Horrible Production That Made Me Question the Possibility of Human Solidarity
Citrus College's Christmas Is.... That people were actually laughing at this and enjoying themselves explains why Entertainment Weekly exists and why every TV show I love seems to be cancelled and replaced with a game show that requires no more sense than a Magic 8 Ball has.

Worst Parents That Makes Me Wonder What The Hell is Wrong With Me That God Won't Let Me Have Kids of 2006
Britney Spears and K-Fed.

Runners Up for Worst Parents That Make Me Wonder What The Hell Is Wrong With Me That God Won't Let Me Have Kids
The people that actually took their children to so see Christmas Is... implying this is something anyone should appreciate.

Even Though It Was Released in 2005, The Best Album of 2006 Because That's When I Heard It
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Self-Titled Album. In fact I can't think of an album released in 2006 that's better than this so even if I had heard it when it first came out it would still rock too well to lose it's position. Man this band rules so I'm giving it Best Album of Eternity after Doolittle by the Pixies.

Best Experience For Understanding How Someone Would Not Want to Leave an Absolutely Hopeless Situation One Should Not Have Volunteered to Enter Into In The First Place Therefore Understanding Why MY PRESIDENT Can Not Ever Bring Himself to Leave Iraq
Spending 48+ hours waiting in a Culver City sound stage waiting to tape for 1 vs. 100 and signing up to come back.

My Fourth Grade Teacher- Good grief, why would someone who hates kids so much be a teacher?

Best Literary Exchange That Tells It Like It Is: Alcoholism Is Funny
"Did you know her?"
"Yes. How about a drop of something to cut the phlegm?"
"What was she like?"
"Not bad," I said. "She wasn't bad-looking and she had a lot of sense, and a lot of nerve - and it took both to live with that guy."
"She lived with him?"
"Yes. I want a drink, please. That is, it was like that when I knew them."
"Why don't you have some breakfast first? Was she in love with him or was it just business?"
"I don't know. It's too early for breakfast."
I'm about 70 years late on this one but I can't think of anything that encourages me more to have a Martini with a breakfast burrito.
