Top 10 | Rejected Top 10 Lists

Every week the Daily Arts department gets together to brainstorm the ludicrous content you find each Thursday in the Weekender section. This meeting leading to our Top 10 list usually consists of high fives and laughter and friendship, but sometimes the ideas don't quite work. Think of this week's list like "Behind the Music:" a backstage peek at the inner workings of your second favorite part of The Daily (the first being the Sudoku). These are the best of the worst unused ideas from this past semester. Enjoy!

10. Things to swordfight with: This was probably a moment in which we wanted to have a massive Arts fight, and all of us decided to come up with odd weapons for ourselves. Or we'd been there for two hours and had nothing else ...

9. Google alerts: We just couldn't come up with a full list of 10 -- all we could think of was an adult having an alert for "Disney."

8. Reasons why daily arts editors are better in bed: We've got awesome musical selections on our hook-up playlists, we've got great "rhythm," and you can bet that all of our pillow talk will be grammatically correct. What more could you want?

7. Things my friend said on his acid trip: "THIS ... is the most UNBELIEVABLE moment ... that ANYONE has ever remembered to FORGET about my BROTHER? TULL! Polumphygazeous? Unbelieveable-unbelievable-unbelievable-unbelievable ..."

6. Ways to blow off steam: We realized we needed to let this list die after one of us suggested "clubbing baby seals" as a stress-reliever. Stand by to be fire-bombed by PETA.

5. Places we want to be on Miley's body: There are zero places we'd like to be on Miley's body. Why? She's underage. Statutory! STATUTORY!

4. Reasons our exec is a hipster: This list couldn't be condensed into 10 items. There are just too many. The oversized glasses, the choppy haircut, the love of postmodernism ... the list goes on and on.

3. Things that make us smile: We only had one, but we'll just put it here instead: ridiculous comments on our online content. "Supernatural" fangirls, MTV producers, Disney addicts: We love you we love you we love you!

2. Things that are awesome: Mallomars, Tide-to-go pens, secret shots, Mac widgets, snow days, "Best of the Decade" lists ... wait, just kidding ... sort of.

1. Things: This was the all-time low. But sort of genius at the same time ...
