You Want A “Best Of 2014” List? Here’s A Fucking Buttload Of “Best Of 2014” Lists, Assholes

---

Every year we go through the same crap, you want to know what some asshole writer thinks is the best WHATEVER of 2014 so I put a bunch of those fucking things in order and put a number by them and then ya ‘ll eat that shit right up. It doesn ‘t matter who ‘s putting the stuff in order, where the stuff came from, or where it ‘s gonna go after you ‘re done eye-fucking it, you just want as much of it as possible and as quickly as possible.

Well here it is, folks, the mother lode, a crap ton of best of lists that you can go wild on. All put in the most easily digestible chunks possible. I had nothing to do with any of them, I didn ‘t even make the dumb graphic at the top of this post, it was just what came up when I googled ‘best of 2014 ‘ for chrissake. So don ‘t be shy, they ‘re here for you to fucking GORGE yourself on, cram ’em all in you till you feel whole again.
