Our favorite lists
Page 2 staff
We wish they'd drop the chop.
After more than a year of creating new Top 10 lists every week, Page 2 is tired. And we want your help ... we need your help ... can you handle helping us? If so, check out your suggestions of what lists you'd like us to compile in the future. We've listed your top 10 along with a poll to pick your favorite.
To provide a little inspiration, we are running our list of our 10 Favorite Lists ever, along with our No. 1 and your No. 1 for each list.
