"Pings penned by Paul" has a better alliterative effect, not to be off topic. However, I still only see one top five list among the five responses. Is that you Ken?

Ahem. Now that it's time for show and tell, I've chosen my list along with the reason for each, which I will state briefly. Having said that, I love all of the Pings, and it was hard to choose. I finally picked five Pings that represent milestones in my lonely, lonely, boring loserly life.

1. Choco-Lite and Razzles. This was my very first Ping ever. I was wondering whatever happened to Choco-Lite, googled it, and came across this blog of kindred spirits, whose lives are remiss for the loss of this great candy item, and immediately felt welcome here.

2. Super Blue Stuff. This was the first Ping to make me laugh out loud at work, and tipped off to my co-workers that maybe I wasn't always as busy as I said I was.

3. Senior Pranks. This was the first Ping in which I witnessed Ryan and Paul unleash with impunity the ferocious god-like power of the dumb-ass mode. It was awe-inspiring and very cool. One minute, you could comment. The next, you could not, maybe forever. It's up to Ryan and Paul. Kneel before thy might! Wow.

4. CVS Characters. Ping is educational, too. I learned about html tags!

5. Early color photography. The Ping is informative. This Ping drew little comment, but without this Ping, I still never would have heard of its topic. With Pings like this, who needs The History Channel? BTW, the success of a Ping cannot be measured by lack of responses alone. On the other hand, a Ping that draws few responses can provide a learning tool for determining topics to ignore.
