To pare all of these submission down to a "Best Of" list was easier in some aspects and harder in others. First, I thought it would be both fairer and simpler to break it down to the first ten installments of the Bad Lieutenant's Wife. Also to maintain partiality, I thought it as editor, I would not post any of my submissions.
That being said, I know that everyone is going to be upset that their favorites aren't up there. This is true of any list and I hope everyone can understand this, as taste is subjective and other than my choice in spouse? I have no taste.
Once again this is the "Best Of," installments one through ten. Everybody is listed in the order they appeared, not by preference and with their best ten submissions for those installments. If there are less than ten for that person, that is because they submitted less than ten during this time period.

Angel,
Ma, oui!
Johnny Dollars,
Thanks!
Fabulous!
My favorite Chris title is missing, though: "The Bridge On The River Kwai The Beloved Country"
Flannery,
I loved "The Adventures In Babysitting Buckaroo Banzai," but I already had "Bill And Ted's Adventures In Babysitting" up there for Becky. "My Left Footloose," too.
I mean, there should be a top twenty, but that wouldn't be fair to those who submitted less than ten.
