Today is the day to poke the savage beast.

I rank Ashton Kutcher's idiotic hat on the Black Table.

Rank: Ways of Ranking

• The bullet. This is my favorite. I know that you can alter the bullet to your liking, but I like the clean, official look of the black dot. It's simple yet official. Drawbacks: I can't kid myself, I'm not a bullet person.

1. Numbering. I think this makes the most sense, especially if you're ranking something in order. Drawbacks: When you put things officially in order, that just feels so set in stone.

   The paragraph. That's not really a good way to 'rank' things. It's just a way to separate groups of sentences. However, I guess that's how you actually make lists, isn't it? Drawbacks: There aren't any. I just couldn't think of anything better to rank this week, okay?
