Escaping #s ?

I have a page with a list at the top of the DB items I want back in a query. I want to keep it in a list so that if i need to change what i want from the query I only have to change the list. But when looping through it I am having a problem in that what i want to do is output an item like this ##something##.

For Example

<cfset someList="abc, def, ghi">

<cfquery name="myQuery" datasource="source">
SELECT #someList# FROM table
</cfquery>

<cfoutput query="myQuery">
<cfloop index="index" list="someList">
<!---HERE IS MY PROBLEM--->
<td>##index##</td>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>


I know I am overlooking some easy answer for this but I'm new to CF and it is just eluding me.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.
