Inspired by 5ives

Through some obscure webconnections and crazy search terms (one which included "Games" "Okay for work") I came across the site called 5ives.com It's a very funny site with many different lists of five things that have something in common (denoted by the title of the list.) This site gets you thinking, sometimes, of different things. Two things it got me thinking of were 1.) a "5ives" list of my own, and 2.) why is it that 5ives works, kinda'; but 10ens, and 4ours, and 3hrees doesn't really work. And what about 100ne-hundreds?
As for my own "5ives" list, here it is:
Five terrible non-existant (as far as I know) Country Songs:
  • The Day Old Faithful Wasn't Faithful: a song about a terribly predictable guy who one day does something unpredictable (e.g. cheat on his girlfriend, kill his dog, join a travelling music group)
  • Daddy's Making Out In the Kitchen: a song about a boy who finds his father doing all sorts of bad things in the kitchen, including, but not limited to: stealing food from the 'fridge, sneaking out at night, cheating on his wife, and killing the dog.
  • Don't Forget the Dog: a song about a wife who throws her husband out, with his dog, for cheating on her and killing the dog. Of course, they make up when she realizes the dog ain't dead.
  • Home on the Range: a modern twist on a traditional song: about a midwestern state where it's okay to cheat on your wife and kill dogs.
  • Everything With Bucks Ain't a Bull: a song about a bull-rider that gets payed to get killed by a bull. (Surprisingly enough, the girl he's seeing is paying him, but his wife ends up collecting the money, and, when she finds out who it's from, kills his dog.)

I know it isn't quite 5ives.com, but it'll do. Well... I'm thinking up another good list... perhaps

Good Lists That Were Never Written:

  • Words That Rhyme With Orange
  • My Favorite Serial Killers
  • Greatest Megalomaniacs of All Time
  • Worest Typohs Evre
  • Misquoted Miscreants

Well, that's about enough for now. Wow, my first COMPLETE blog.
