I'm Brendan Francis Nuneum.

I'm Rico Gagliano and welcome to the best of the dinner party download 2010.

Yes, we've put together some of our favorite segments from the last 12 months.

Great.

And we're going to begin with our annual tradition, the best icebreaker joke of the year, as voted by you.

Alas, it is not about a big fat orange head, nor praying parrots,

or a selfish lobster. Or a senile Leonud Brezhnev. That's, it's really too bad. My personal

faith. No, those were some of our favorite jokes of the year, but yours, people, was told by

author and roller derby queen, Alex Axles of Evil Cohen.

What do you get when you cross a brown chicken with a brown cow?

Brown chicken, brown cow!

There you go. You picked it, folks.

For some reason.

Coming up, our favorite stuff of the year, including Rain Wilson on his British brethren,

a canine Molly Ringwald, the FBI versus Louis Louis, getting your goat, and our top tunes of 2010.

That's quite the menagerie there.

And quite the alliteration.

But first, everyone, how about a big, small talk?

So, Rico, the headline theme of 2010, or one of them at least.

Sure.

Things happen in twos.

All right, evidence.
