Bulo Remembers 2009-A Buncha Cool Lists

I know, I know. I promised a list a day, and haven’t delivered.  Been working extra holiday hours and have simply lacked the ambition.

Until now.

I’ve got a buncha great ones for you today:

For all you graphic designers and ‘fonts’ of information, The Best and Worst Brand Identities of 2009.

For those seriously concerned about ‘green and sustainable’ building, an excellent list describing in detail  2009’s Top 10 Green Projects.  Special props to the American Institute of Architects for including all the lists dating back to 1997.

I love the Boston Phoenix. And I love its snark factor. Take, for example, its fair and balanced consideration (It really is fair and balanced) of the Top Conservative Books of 2009. After all: ‘Reading is fundamentalist’.

From the Baltimore City Paper comes this list of the Best DVDs of 2009. It appeals to my off-the-beaten-track sensibilities, so perhaps it will to you as well.

The Top Parenting Trends of 2009, from the San Francisco Chronicle. Take it from a parent: These are not to be confused with the best parenting trends of 2009.

I liked this 2009 Year In Review from the Las Vegas Weekly. After all, how can you cover Vegas and not have a sense of the absurd?

From the aptly-named Asylum, the 100 Weirdest News Stories of the Year. How weird? “Balloon Boy” crash-landed at # 87.  #80 was one of my faves:

80. Have Faith in Jesus but Need Post-Rapture Pet Care? (1,904 Diggs)
Are you a Christian worried about what will become of your pet after the Rapture comes and your furry friend isn’t allowed to ascend to Jesus’s kingdom with you? Contact Eternal Earthbound Pets, which, for a fee of $110, will set you up with a confirmed, no-chance-of-being-saved atheist who will take care of your pet in the fiery hell that has become of the post-Rapture earth. The service guarantees maximum of between 18-24 hours from realization of the Rapture to animal rescue. After seeing this article, Asylum sat down with Eternal Earthbound Pets founder Bart Centre for an interview.

As was #70:

70. Woman Bites Lover’s Penis Off In Car Crash (1,961 Diggs)
Everyone knows that the big risk associated with receiving oral sex in the car is that if there happens to be an accident, you are very much in jeopardy of losing your penis. Still, a man in Singapore, who did lose his penis while getting a BJ in an automobile, has the right to feel unlucky. You see, his car was parked in a lot, and the mouth penectomy only occurred after a truck backed into his stationary love mobile.

There are a hundred like these to surf.

Coming tomorrow: It’ll either be movies or TV. Haven’t decided yet…
