We may not see Top Ten for a while: so let's have an appreciation thread.

Many DUers may have have found DU the way I did: by landing the Top Ten after googling "conservative idiots"

For many years, my Sunday nights ended with a pass through the Top Ten -- and whenever I missed the feature Sunday night, my Monday morning began with it

Since I don't know when (if ever) the feature will return, I just really want to say Thank you for the many years of hard work that regularly produced an informative and hilarious feature

1. K & R. There's a lot to love about DU but the Top Ten is still my favorite.

:fistbump:

[Benhurst]

2. ...

Recommended :kick: #2

[cbayer]

3. Top 10 is also how i found, and why I hung around, DU.

It was and remains one of DU's treasures. Recommended.

:toast:

[guitar man]

4. me too

I have always loved top ten...and I would love to see some more hate mailbag, I bet there are some gems coming in considering the election results! :D

[immoderate]

5. Yeah. What good are they if we can't laugh at them?

Admins, please bring back Top Ten ASAP, and don't keep that juicy hate mail to yourselves.

Need me some laffs.

6. K&R. It's how I found DU. n/t

[Lochloosa]

7. You know, I have no idea how I found this place.

But I'm glad I did.

[Truth Teller]

8. What happened to it?

If the person doing it is unable, there are plenty of DUers that are willing, I'd bet.

[Maestro]

9. EarlG is being a daddy right now.

He'll be back as things settle down.

[Alter Ego]

13. Didn't Skinner write it for a week or two at one point?

[Maestro]

15. Not sure, but I'm sure Skinner would do fine if

he wanted to.

[ieoeja]

16. We're running out of prominent Conservatives. n/t

[madokie]

10. I vote to bring it back

whoever it was that was responsible for it was/is a genius

11. The Top Ten landed me like a trophy bass

and I'm still flopping around on DU, unable to spit out the lure! It would be a tragic loss, but even if it goes away, I'm still grateful for all the Monday mornings at work waking up to conservative idiocy.

edited to add YOU ROCK EARLG(but the kid's your priority right now)

[awoke_in_2003]

12. I think it will live on

as long as we have stupid conservatives, and jebus knows there are plenty of them out there.

[EFerrari]

14. Several of my friends came here via the Top Ten.

I was more of a Hate Mailbagger, myself.

There is no chance we'll run out of idiots, so enjoy your break, EarlG.

[Swamp Rat]

17. I would not be here if it wasn't for the Top 10 Conservative Idiots.

That's how I discovered DU in the Spring of 2001. I then lurked daily until I got DSL in 2004, which enabled the Top 10 web page to load super fast. :D

I miss the Top 10 Conservative Idiots already!!!

:kick:

[KamaAina]

18. Easy. Sarah Palin (1 through 10).

Unless her fifteen minutes end before Earl gets back in the saddle, we're good to go.

[Jack Rabbit]

19. Hear, hear!!
