48. Dude, did you say something negative about Star Trek?
Because if I have to change to the non-Star Trek sheets when I get you out here I'm gonna be disappointed.

Okay, not really, 'cause they're vintage and I'd prefer to keep them free of staining, but still, it may take years of therapy to work past this.

I HATE IT when people load their fruit salads with melons. DAMN that's just lazy.

Tool . . . I'm sorry, I cannot get into them. I tried album after album after album and it just does NOTHING for me. They sound like Neurosis-lite with mainstreamy rock riffs on occasion.

It involved an incorrectly ordered McDLT, moist condiments, melted cheese and a parking lot.

I've said too much.

72. I was once incredibly sick from mayo.
If it tastes slightly metallic, don't think that it still has a little ways to go before you have to throw it out. Don't "bachelor" it and keep it around. Trust me.

49. Cilantro - why is it obligatory to smother perfectly good Mexican food
with it? Black beans are way over-rated, too.

Agree that a little mayonnaise goes a long way; I wish people at delis knew this.

Sting seems like a nice fellow, but as for his music (and the Police), I just don't get it.

God I hate it. Grew up in that era and did not like it then and really don't like it now. The Eagles YUCK. Led Zep YUCK. Bob Seegar GAG ME.

Now they only play about twenty songs over and over and never the best song off the albums.

I guess seeing the Grateful Dead at an early age opened my ears a little for other styles of music...

60. Non-clove Cigarettes.
Edited on Tue Aug-07-07 07:56 AM by HughBeaumont
Reality TV.
Mayonnaise.
Girls Gone Wild. The women are too skinny and tanned and it includes "whut whut"-yelling fratboys, the kind I want to kick in the jaw. Where's the appeal?
Pulp Fiction
Mafia worship. And I'm a slobbering Godfather/Goodfellas fan. DAMN, I mean, when does it END already? You're not a gangster. You wouldn't want to BE a gangster. You would be popped within months, you Archie-looking bastard.
Music that sounds like the same shit that I thought sucked 10 years ago . . . today.
Hanging out at bars for hours.
The "Stone Cold" look. "Stone Colds" = the new Mullets, only with worse attitude.
High Fives.
Modern mainstream rap.
Dressing in business casual AWAY from work. I mean, how the HELL can ANYONE be comfortable in Dockers and Khakis? If I could get away with going to the store wearing just boxers and a T-shirt, I would. Actually, I have.
NASCAR.
WWE.
Football. But then again, I live in Cleveland, where people for whatever reason pack Browns stadium to see our team produce soccer-score offense in freezing weather.
Golf. Jesus H GOD you've got to be kidding me with it's appeal.
Wearing anything sports related aside from the occasional hat on weekends when my hair has had it.
Cigars. Let's just say "Tobacco products in general". Yeah, let's give $1200 a year times 50 million to Republican tobacco barons on a habit that does nothing but kill me slowly, rob me of taste and makes my surroundings and clothes smell like ass. Yeah, SIGN ME UP!
Camo ANYthing.
Fantasy sports leagues.
Listen to Sammy Hagar/Van Hagar.
Throwing up devil horns at ANY kind of music other than metal/grindcore/death/spazcore/black metal/goregrind/doom.

116. By "Stone Cold look" do you mean shaved bald with a goatee?
If you do, I am right there with you.

That guano is getting really old.

Out here in Utah, I call it the "Mark Hacking look." He's the shaved bald psycho with a goatee that shot/murdered his wife while she was sleeping and threw her body in a dumpster.

And there are TONS of guys out here that sport the Mark Hacking look.

I'm sick of goatees anyway, with or without the shaved head.

And I completely agree with the Johnny Nutsville/Jackass stuff. Those people need to grow up.

73. It's pretty sad when . . .
. . . those moving picture horror .gifs (where a ghostly woman appears out of a junky house, par example) have more scare factor than all modern horror movies.

And the best thing that could ever happen to NASCAR would be a right turn.

79. Iced Coffee and Las Vegas
I'm a big coffee drinker but it must be hot and black even in the summer. I can't stand it with cream or anything like that or cold. When I started drinking coffee I did use a lot of sugar but not anymore.

And with all due apologies and respect to the good people who make Las Vegas their home it is just not a place I enjoy. I've only been there once but I'm exactly the wrong person to send there, I just don't enjoy that sort of theme or entertainment. I'm one of those mentally defective people that get enjoyment out of the "Luxury of the Wilderness" and think FUN is carrying a heavy pack up a 4000 foot mountain. :) Particularly when it is cold!

96. Live albums
All the cheering drowns out the music - if you want to hear the music live, you can go to a concert? Who wants to listen to someone else being at a concert? And they all sound alike, as they urge the audience to sing along and the cheering always sounds the same.

Some think it adds to the excitement, but you're not there, how much of the atmosphere really rubs off?

Anyway, I hate the recordings. The singer's comments start to sound stupid and then annoying and then really irritating when you hear them for the 60th time.

103. lotsa stuff.


Country music. Whiny country music. New country music. Gospel music. Any form of shitkicker music except Willie Nelson which is cosmic cowboy.

Songs where your friends say "Oh you have to hear this, it's so great". You listen to it and say, "It's booooring."

Spectator sports. People who use football or baseball metaphors in order to shut out the females from the conversation.

Men who enjoy spectator sports (I hang with science nerds).

Spicy food. Shellfish. Pizza. Tomatoes. Rodeos. Church. Lasagna. People who tell me I'm going to hell and that I'm a worthless piece of shit.

Bell peppers of any color. uncooked onions. Olives. Pickles. Grapefruit. Peaches. Watermelon. Persimmons.

Horseradish. burgers that are raw inside.

Waving the American flag. Having support the troops ribbons on your car.

Damn near all TV shows. I HATE soap operas.

Medical shows on TV. I call them "Bed Races". They are not realistic.
Lawyer shows on TV. They are not realistic. They act like monkeys in the courtroom. Here they would be put under the jail for contempt of court for their antics.

Violent movies. Spooky scary movies. Violence against women movies.

Bodice rippers (romance novels). Modern fiction.
Self help books that take one concept and beat it to death.

People who give you free critical advice because "It's for your own good". Suuuuure!!

People who misspell words constantly. People who cannot use good grammar, especially TV newspeople.

People who make lots of money but if I ask them to help me find a job, since I have a doctorate and are as educated as they are, go into total shock, like they assume that jobs just fall out of the sky.

People who blow up at random intervals like volcanoes.

Most people who are "conventionally attractive". I like brains and personality and life in the eyes.

Tall men. Blech!!! I'm afraid of them because they like to intimidate people.

Alpha males who diss me.

Idiot bosses. There don't seem to be any other kind; otherwise I might have a job.
