Back when the Top 5 this was easy to do. Now that it is images, it is harder to do. So next year, I will do this lazy complication as the year goes in. There are links to the lists, but the last tine moderator Chris White retired, most of the historic lists came down. In 2025, I'll capture the images as we go along, a much less onerous task. So here they are, Paul's appearances with links to the lists.
I recently pulled a rare double play on the Top 5 list, admittedly a double-length one. The topic two days in a row was Signs Your Presidential Campaign Is Cooked. My two winners:
Oct. 30 Top 5: Your poll numbers took a nosedive when your baseball-hating VP came out against both Mom and apple pie
Oct. 31 Top 5: The ghost of Francis Scott Key demands you stop playing the Star Spangled Banner at rallies.
I made theTop 5 List!
Other Things Joe Biden Is Going To Do Instead Of Running For President
My winner: Show up on time for the Early Bird Dinner for once.
My Losers: “Lambada and Macarena” and “Drink a case of Diet Mountain Dew.”
Reasons You Weren't Picked as a Candidate For Vice President
My No. 1 appearance
Didn't stick landing during interview.
My Losers:
Too many Internet Memes of Dark Shapiro
Really like Diet Mountain Dew
Olympic Humor: Things Overheard at the Paris Olympics
Things Overheard at the Paris Olympics
I made theTop 5 List!
My winner:
"And once again, the French take the gold medal in the Mistreating Tourists Marathon."
My losers:
“There were only two points between gold and bronze in the synchronized Macarena event.”
“Which way to the luge venue?”
My Top 10 winner for Reasons Your Team Didn’t Make The Playoffs, at the top of the list was “The home stadium was outside the star receiver’s ankle monitor range.” My losers were “Wife’s restraining order means QB can’t cross 50-yard-line when she’s seated in the end zone.” And “The Lambada party in the locker room lasted so long the team failed to take the field for the second half.” There’s no accounting for an editor’s taste.

I made No. 1 again on the Top 5 List. My submissions:
- 1: Santa wakes up to find Vixen's bloody head at the foot of the bed. (changed to Dasher because that’s what editors do)
WORTHY BUT UNUSED: When Mrs. Claus tells Santa his goose is cooked she isn't talking about a bird.
While Mrs. Claus is working with the elves, her name appears on the naughty list.
