Judging by the thousands of Buzzfeed links on my Facebook timeline, lists are big right now. We here at The Rib like to give the people what they want, and so I have taken it upon myself to make a list the list. Frankly, I think it’s time someone lay down the law. No more of those weak rankings of Disney movies or Starbucks beverages. This is a list of the 25 Best Things ever. Am I proclaiming myself the sole arbiter of what is and is not a good thing? Maybe. Is this “just your opinion, Annie”? Possibly. But that doesn’t mean I’m not right (checkmate, Buzzfeed). Read on for the definitive ranking of the very best things in existence.
- Medium/large sized dogs
- When you wake up and it’s 3:00 am and you still have 4 more hours to sleep
- U.S. President Andrew Jackson’s Drawing Of An Alligator (but not U.S. President Andrew Jackson as a person)
- Finally peeing after holding it in for too long
- The deep feeling of relief when a ring gets stuck on your finger but then you get it off
- The existence of Axolotls
- Knitwear in all its forms
- Feeling safe (Often taken for granted)
- Successfully fixing something
- Meeting someone cool who hates the same person you hate
- The subtly futuristic costume design in ‘Her’
- Julie Andrews
- Finding money in your pocket
- Tiny cacti
- The admiration of a small child
- The claymation part in every episode of Zoboomafoo
- Going for a long walk in a somewhat familiar place
- That temperature when you can’t feel the air
- Character design for Bee & Puppycat
- Highly-functioning zippers
- Salt & vinegar chips
- Being outside while it’s very cold and your are warm (and the subsequent satisfaction of having prepared well for winter)
- Really big trees
- The Emperor’s New Groove
- Tie: the weird animals we don’t know about that live in the ocean and space (both are scary yet fascinating)
