Amateurs make the cut

The people who assemble the "Late Show with David Letterman" e-letter every week hold a Top Ten reader contest. Writers throw out a topic, readers try their best to come up with punchlines. Usually they prove that writing a Top Ten List is harder than it looks.

But then comes weeks like this one. Topic: "Top Ten Rejected Titles for 'Brokeback Mountain.'" It may not seem like a slow hanging curveball down the middle of the plate, but it was to this bunch. My favorite was #7 ... and the other nine finalists. On the jump.

Hey, Aaron. I've been a fan of TV Barn since it was Late Show News. I'm the #4 on the Top 10 list this week. I was actually surprised that they picked it over my other entries which were "Homo On The Range" and "Butch Cassidy and Femme Cassidy." Keep up the good work! -- JB

What about "Little House full of Fairies",
"Grizzly Anus", or the ever popular
"Butt Bunnies Go West"
