Why the Top 9? Because 10 is too many and 9 is better. 3 X 3 = Neal hates math.
Just a quick FYI -- this post in no way affects the AudioShocker's 2009 YOU DON'T SUCK Awards. This is a just a personal list of books I read this year that I loved. Doesn't mean they came out this year -- this is just my favorite of what I experienced this year.
9. Tales of the TMNT #64 (very excellent Mikey issue)
8. Uncanny X-Men #287 (first story where we really see Bishop's timeline)
7. Infinity War #1 (love that opening scene!)
6. Surfer Silver #35 (love the plot twist!)
5. Wet Moon 5 (love that ending scene!)
4. Gello Apocalypse (in particular, the story starting with the Charlie Brown cover)
3. Iron Man #261 (OMG! awesome parallel plot storytelling by JRjr)
2. G-Man: Cape Crisis (can't just pick one issue!)
1. Iron Man #306 (love me some Len Kaminski arc and this issue blew my mind)

Last week I told you what I wanted for Christmas (Nick and I are still accepting presents), and now this week - just to be safe - I'd like to tell you what I neither want nor need (again, please note that we are currently accepting presents).
9. Zombies - I am so horrendously sick of America's fascination with the undead - particularly zombies. What is so exciting about what is essentially a deranged flesh eating clown without the makeup? (Oh yeah, I hate clowns too...)
8. Twilight - Perhaps it goes without saying based on #9, but this particular parasitic bit of YA fiction can go eat some garlic laced silver nitrate and die.
7. Tyler Perry and M. Night Shyamlan - Original, eh?
6. Multi-Baby Mama Drama - If Jon & Kate plus 8 and the Octomom simply vanished, we as a nation would all be better off.
Deep Dish Sucks!
5. Chicago style deep dish pizza - The crust is overly buttery, the toppings are boring, and after one slice you're full. Pizza is NOT a casserole. [Note - I have to disagree on this one. IMO, ya gotta go straight to the source! Either Pizzeria Uno or Pizzeria Due ("due" as in italian for "two") in downtown Chi-town. Or, check out some of the local deep dish in the nearby (a.k.a. not Peoria) Chicago suburbs. - Nick] [Author's Note - Neal has been to both Due & Uno, as well as Giordano's and they all suck donkey balls! sorry Chi]
4. Hipsters - Hey you, scenesters! Guess what? I actually like music and occasionally bowling. Perhaps you could take your chain smoking, overly compressed testes somewhere else.
gross.
3. CG - The current state of computer graphics in movies is apalling. SFX look shittier and more phoned in then ever before. Remember the Matrix? If you want cool character makeup / effects, you should really just call Tom Savini.
2. Biodiesel - Nothing grinds my gears more than people who prattle on about how awesome biofuels are. Biodiesel is crap and so are your views on the environment. Oh - and screw you too ethanol. [Note - Neal once killed a man for believing in global warming. - Nick] [Author's Note - Yup, global warming is junk science]
1. Someone freezing and slicing my brain live on the Internet - They were actually doing this on Wednesday for some famous amnesiac. In three words: Do. Not. Want.

sehtolc raeppasid!
Ain't nothing wrong with a little consumerism. As America starts counting down shopping days, it's only fitting that we share with you our wish lists. While none of these items are for sale - feel free to send us presents.
9. Paul Allen's Octopus Yacht - This thing has 2 helicopters and a gaggle of jetskis -- but that is just for starters. Sign us up for two.
8. Three wishes granted by Zatanna - A little piglatin and she can make anything happen; that is infinitely better than some blue skinned, harem pant wearing, Robin Williams voiced cartoon.
7. Global ban on Tyler Perry and M. Night Shyamlan - Really, how on earth are these two dudes still getting work?
6. 50 Cent's debut R&B album - Can you fathom how awesome a disc of Curtis Jackson crooning ballads would be? It would blow Before I Self Destruct out of the freaking water. It'll never happen, but I can dream.
ALF, wing man extraordinaire
5. Guest spot on Alf - Nick would most likely dirty his dungarees were this possible. I mean, imagine all the crazy hijinks with a wingman like Gordon Shumway.
4. Bootjets - Oh wait, these are like 10000% unavailable. Perhaps a more realistic question is: where the eff is my flying car already?
3. Diplomats reunion (minus Jim Jones) - Look, Diplomatic Immunity Vols. 1&2 were major and Santana's From Me To U was a classic. All I am asking is for the boys from Harlem to bury the hatchet for like 4 hours.
2. Another 'First 100 Days' for Obama - ZING! No seriously, America's CEO could use a do-over.
1. More listeners - Tell your friends, your coworkers, your boss, your boss's boss, your boss's boss's mistress: The AudioShocker Podcast wants your ears (but not in a creepy ear-necklace sort of way).

Nick
keeps whining about the Top 9, and I'm wasting time until The Office starts.
[Thx for that intro, Neal. See, I was going to do a Top 9 about Ninja Assassin because Justique and I caught an advance screening of it tonight... but Instead, Neal decided to start a Top 9 without me and left me with 2/3s of the work. Classic! Suffice to say that you'll have to wait until AudioShocker Podcast #107 on Nov 24th to find out just how awesome Ninja Assassin was (hint: it was really awesome). As for Neal's Top 9 TV characters? I'll play along. However, I've noted who chose what (mostly because I don't endorse Neal's selections). Sorry, Neal! - Nick]
9. Aang, the Avatar - What's an AudioShocker TV favorites list without some Avatar? Answer: LAME! [Nick]
8. Sergeant Frank Drebin, Detective Lieutenant Police Squad - Many peeps don't know this, but Leslie Nielsen's slapstick superstar cop started out on TV's Police Squad! before he moved to film in the Naked Gun series. [Nick]
7. Sarah Palin - Man, she sure is a character. Thank god it's all an act. (It is an act, right? Right???) [Obama]
6. The Great Gonzo - "Thank you. Tonight ladies and gentlemen, I will eat this rubber tire to the music of The Flight of the Bumblebee. Music, maestro!" [Nick]
5. Homer Simpson - His character is oh so endearing. [Justique]
4. Stewie Griffin - Matricidal maniac. I'd burp that. [Neal]
3. ALF - A.K.A. Gordon Shumway [Nick]
2. Brock Samson - Actually, any character that Patrick Wharburton voices is pretty fucking awesome. [Neal]
1. Gob Bluth - Did you really think I wasn't going to take it back to Arrested Development? [Neal]

Since Nick complained so much, I thought I'd drop a little knowledge on the AS Crew.
9. The Black Eyed Peas and U2 are the worst (and most overrated) bands ever

7. Your favorite rapper probably has a ghostwriter
6. Chinese run Mexican joint > Qdoba > Chipotle

Because nobody sent me any Top 9s - even after I asked you so nicely last week - I will now proceed to torture you with the most ridiculous Top 9 to date.
9. Biten by a tarantula in the middle of a winning match of Rock Paper Scissors.
8. Savagely mauled by a bald eagle on the top of a peaceful mountain.
7. Clawed by a tiger while resting in a lavish royal palace.
6. Punched in the face by a large monkey while meditating on the beach.
5. Colliding with a flying squirrel when climbing a tree in the rainforest.
4. Slapped by a whale fin while snorkeling near a tropical reef.
3. Strangled by an elephant at an elegant religious ceremony.
2. Kicked by a moose while hiking in a beautiful untouched bed of snow.
1. Flung off the back of a dolphin while trying to ride it into the sunset.
