Top 10 Reasons Newbies shouldn't write Top 10 Lists themselves
10. Explicit advice from the old-timers to read some older Top 10 lists first; insanity results.
9. Just not funny without references to John, chily or Topic Title.
8. Follow-up conversation results in the topic veering brutally off-track. Newbie left clueless and suffering from inattention.
7. Newbie's Rule of Top 10s: All the good ones have been done already.
6. Welcome hugs from 17 considered "cruel and unusual".
5. Zeke will read it. Soon.
4. If it's any good, will be PDFed. Due to increased life expectancy of list, could become stumbling point for ex-newbie's presidential election.
3. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, inflicting by many small carpals with pneumatic piledrivers.
2. May find himself *too* funny and get stuck in psychotic laughing mode until forcably rebooted. (Yes, humans have a reset switch. No, you don't want to know where.)
And the Number One reason Newbies really really shouldn't write a Top 10 List:
1. They get spoofed and played for a cheap laugh by a list like this.
Also, this is the first post from Chronos, who works like a charm. Gotta love my new black box of power.
On a completely different note, for anyone who's read Neon Exodus:Evangelion (good fanfic, by the way): Remember DJ's dachshound in Season 2? It was named Anubis, because it was the dog of an elderly Egyptian scholar. DJ adopted it, and everybody called it - yep, you guessed it - "Newbie." Just thought I'd share.
