I walk past a dumb "3-D" Lorax billboard every work day, and I am bombarded with images of a huffy, pissy-looking Lorax constantly. Like this:Look at this smug bastard, thinking he's better than us. Jerk.I am so sick of the damn Lorax, that why I hate him is the subject of today's top 5. 5: Danny DeVito sings on The Voice, then gets ripped apart Simon Cowell-style by Danny DeVito as the Lorax, who speaks for the trees...an [..]
Top 5 Best Star Trek: Voyager Characters
Published on 2012-03-13 00:12:00
I'm re-watching Star trek in reverse order. I covered the best characters from Enterprise, and now that I've sat through 7 long, boring seasons of Voyager, it's time to struggle through a list if its "best" characters. Let's be clear--this was not a good sci-fi show. The various story arcs were pretty bad and un-memorable. and the finale is one of the worst I've ever seen for a show that was on as long as this was. There were not 5 good characters, so this is really the top 5 least offensiv [..]
Top 5 Reasons Daylight Saving Time is Stupid
Published on 2012-03-11 23:38:00
Did Doc and Marty take DST into account?So I had to move my clock forward--or backward--whatever--the end result is that I lost an hour of my day. Well, I didn't really lose it, I used it in a 25 hour day I had a few months back. This is the result of Daylight Saving Time ("DST"), and it's dumb. The reasons behind it are dumb. Almost everyone hates it. Here are the reasons you should hate it too:5: DST can injure you. A study looking at 10 years' worth of data found that the expected relat [..]

Top 5 Sketch Comedy TV Shows
Published on 2012-03-08 23:05:00
Chappelle brought the funny, but did he make the list?Sketch comedy shows are fairly hit or miss, but these are the ones to add to your Netflix queue:5: Mr. Show with Bob and David (HBO, 1995-98) - A hilarious and clever show that gave a platform to some big names in comedy, including David Cross, Jack Black, Sarah Silverman, and Patton Oswalt. Mr. Show flew under the radar for its whole run, and even now is under-appreciated. (But now, you're in the know. Cool, right? Being on the inside? [..]
Top 5 Coolest Fictional Cars
Published on 2012-03-07 23:30:00
First things first, let's clear this up right now--there are no animated cars on this list. That'll be later. This list is populated with cars which had a major role in their respective movie or television show and were really, really cool. Sure there may have been better looking cars (who didn't want a Lamborghini Countach?), but these were so much more than just cars.5: Ghostbusters Car (Ghostbusters series) - The lights on the top and logo on the side were so distinctive, but the red fins [..]
Top 5 Steampunk Computers
Published on 2012-03-07 00:19:00
Steampunk is a sub-genre of sci-fi/fantasy that borrows heavily on Victorian-age themes and imagines an alternate reality where steam power became dominant. Enthusiasts have--as enthusiasts do in every genre--taken things a step further, creating steampunk-styled clothing, furniture, vehicles, equipment, and technology. Below is a sampling--the best steampunk-themed computers. Enjoy!5: Decent job here. Wood paneled, older looking keyboard--but could easily be from the late-70s/early-80s. 4: [..]

We live in an amazing time, yet we're so busy, we forget to look around in awe at just how amazing the time is! Here are 5 technological advances that only recently became integrated with our lives, yet which we take completely for granted.5: Flat Screens - In the last 5 or so years, boxy televisions and computer monitors have disappeared in favor of flat screens, yet, morons that we are, we still envy our friends if their screens are a hair thinner. 4: The Internet - Almost every piece of infor [..]
Top 5 Space-Based Sci-fi Shows of the Past 25 Years
Published on 2012-03-04 23:17:00
We discuss a lot of sci-fi on this blog, so it seemed natural we run down the best (space-based) science fiction shows of the last quarter century. This of course means shows like Lost, Heroes, and others were not considered because they don't have space ships... So, here's the KT5 take:5: Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994) - The first Star Trek spinoff and the only one to truly live up to the franchise name, it introduced us to the greatest Star Trek captain--Jean Luc Picard.

Sunday musings... Cruising.
Published on 2012-03-04 08:41:00
Last weekend, my family was just returning from a cruise while my wife's family was just leaving on one. We were invited to join both groups, but declined due to our newborn. What do you think about cruising? Is it better than a regular destination vacation, or is going to some stationary place for a week better?

Guest Blogger Jessica Snow offers up today's Top 5...Pic is from BBQGeek.com, a site I just discovered that looks pretty awesome. Here's hoping they don't mind our using the picture in exchange for the plug!Has anyone else noticed that with the rise of shows like Top Chef, Iron Chef America, and many other cooking/restaurant shows, Americans seem to think they now need to use fancy terms to describe what they’re serving either in their homes or what's served in restaurants?

Top 5 Reasons I Deserve My Man Card
Published on 2012-03-02 00:28:00
Alright, I went over why my man card should be revoked. Here's why it shouldn't be:5: I grill hand-formed burgers with cheese and hot sauce--if you request a mango chutney on yours you aren't allowed in my house.4: I watch the shit out of boxing. I've seen Cotto beat the hell out of Judah in person. From the fifth row, I saw a nobody named Taurus Sykes scrap for 10 rounds only to lose a bullshit decision against Hasim Rahman. I love bloody battles between warriors like Gatti vs. Ward or Corr [..]
Top 5 Reasons My Man Card Should Be Revoked
Published on 2012-02-29 23:51:00
This all starts from my buddy Kevin who determined that I should lose my man card after seeing that I joined pinterest.com. I'm going to support him and offer up the top 5 reasons why I may not deserve to carry my man card.5: I cry at sad commercials. I don't want to, I just do. They're designed to do that though.4: I don't care about cars. I think cool cars look cool, but I couldn't give a shit what's under the hood, whether it's got a Hemi or not (which I suspect is a just marketing ploy a [..]
Top 5 Best Sweet Breakfast Cereals
Published on 2012-02-28 23:05:00
We've discussed the best non-sweet cereals, but for these, the commercials excited us, the sugar hooked us, and we've never looked back. Although by my count there are almost a dozen terrific sweet cereals, the list had to get pared down to five. And the five best sweet cereals are...5: Honey-Comb (Post) - There is a point at which Honey-Combs have soaked in just enough milk to make them have a burst of sweet-milky flavor while remaining slightly crispy. You can easily down a couple bowls of [..]
Top 5 Coolest Sound Effects
Published on 2012-02-27 23:19:00
The 2012 Oscars are behind us, and we here at KT5 think there are some people who routinely get overlooked--the sound guys. Sure, the Oscars ceremony had sound issues of its own, but that's all the more reason to give props to the sound guys who get it right! And extra special props to those who appropriately utilize these, the top five sound effects:5: Cat Screech - If you watch a lot of movies--and you know you do--you'll recognize this cat's screech. This sound effect has been around for d [..]

Published on 2012-02-27 00:29:00
The Oscars--the time of the year when industry professionals pat each other on the back, and we watch so on Monday we can disagree with the Academy's decisions, discuss how bad people looked, and bitch about how stupid the Oscars ceremony is.

Top 5 McDonald's Secret Menu Items
Published on 2012-02-24 23:05:00
McDonald's has a secret menu. I SAID--McDONALD'S HAS A SECRET MENU!!! Shout it from the rooftops. No longer are we saddled with a meager 106 menu options (seriously--count them up). This could be yummy.5: McKinley Mac - This is a Big Mac, but instead of regular burgers, quarter-pounders fill the bun. Apparently, it's on the menu in Alaska, but legend has it that it can be ordered at any location (and why not--it isn't like they don't have the ingredients). Photo isn't mine--check out Ranker [..]

Top 5 Favorite 80s After School Cartoons
Published on 2012-02-23 00:11:00
The late-80s was a golden age for after-school television, and I was lucky to be a tween during its peak! Here are the shows that left an indelible imprint on my early-adolescent brain:5: G. I. Joe - This show had a few things going for it. Specifically, the moral at the end of every episode ("knowing is half the battle"), and better, the bad-ass Cobra Commander/Serpentor story arc. However, it also featured soldiers so inept that they couldn't fire a gun accurately if their lives depended on [..]
