The 'Post produces "The List", 30th year running...

The List - What's In and Out for 2008. (washingtonpost.com):
But wait - what's this optimistic-looking New Year's message we're being handed under the stall?

Why it's The List, of course, jotted down on several yards of squeezably soft Charmin. Whattaya say?
Sad it's out: Meerkats.

Glad it's (back) in: Anoraks. Marillion will be proud.

I do find it interesting that two items are "out" even before they've had a chance to be "in". (Steve Carell's Maxwell Smart and Emile Hirsh's Speed Racer)
