Top 10 Things That Are Green (and Why)
When Brad came up with the topic of "Top 10 Things that are Green (and Why)," I figured I had my work cut out for me. As it turned out, I actually had to cut my list substantially to get it down to the final ten. Needless to say, this was fun.

10. Simple Green
This stuff just rocks. According to the directions, you're suppose to dilute Simple Green for common household cleanups...but I just spray this stuff on straight up. It smells a little funky for a second, but you can't deny the power of the Green!! |

9. Mr. Green
Anyone that spent hours upon hours of their childhood playing the Parker Brothers' (no relation) game Clue probably had a favorite character, and Mr. Green was mine. Claiming Mr. Green was like claiming the hump in the middle of the back seat...nobody wanted it before, but suddenly everyone seemed a little envious. (Please take note that I didn't say "green with envy." It was difficult to resist.) |

8. Arizona Green Tea
Arizona's bottled green tea may just be the finest mass-produced ice tea around. I prefer the version with honey, but there's a variety for just about everyone's tastes. |

7. Yoda
The greatest Jedi, he is. On the list he must be! Yoda trained Jedi for eight centuries, and whether he's a puppet or CGI, he's just damn cool. Sure, he sounds like the lovechild of Grover and Miss Piggy, but he's green and we love him (and he's pretty nifty with the lightsaber). |
 |
6. Green Mountain Energy
Any company that doesn't send me an electric bill for almost five months is alright in my book. We keep calling them, and they keep telling us they're working on it. When I do get that bill, they will quickly drop off my list. |
 |
5. Weezer (the green album)
I'm not sure if Weezer will keep this trend going of having every other album self titled and a primary color, but I'm digging it. While I don't have the newest album yet, the so-called "Green Album" is by far my favorite of the first three. |
 |
4. The Incredible Hulk
Hulk smash! When you think of green comic characters, Hulk should come immediately to mind. Sure, there are others...Green Goblin, She-Hulk, etc...but Bruce Banner's alter-ego is the ultimate green man. |
 |
3. Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham
Think of something green, I can. A book that's called Green Eggs and Ham! Sometimes the words still make me faulter, when I read it to my daughter. He does like them, so it seems, and Seuss' book's at number three. |
 |
2. Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
While there's just something unnatural about eating green ice cream, I can't ignore the fact that this is one of the top flavors ever. My all time favorite ice cream treat is a scoop of cookies 'n cream and a scoop of mint chocolate chip. (Make mine a double.) |
 |
1. Kermit the Frog
Muppets rule, and Kermit is king of Muppets. It's nice to see that Kermit lives on long after Jim Henson's passing, but there's that 'special something' that will always be missing. Kermit would tell you, "it's not easy being green," and this list proves it. |
