1. I don't know which is the bigger mistake...
that you wear underwear, or that you buy it at WalMart!

at Bob in the Enzyte commercials. I can't help it, it is that stupid grin. My family wants to kill me.

(don't feel guilty about porn, either)

15. I think veal is delicious.
And I think calfskin makes excellent leather.

And I smoke because I LIKE smoking. Addiction is secondary.

47. Spider Jerusalem, you are my kind of person!
I love veal, although I rarely eat it. Nobody around here can make it right. Calfskin is fabulous, although I don't really own any. And even though I quit smoking six years ago, I loved it for its' own sake, along with the addiction thing. :)

19. I love shoes, clothes, and makeup
I love to partake in rampant consumerism. Not that I can always do so, mind you. But, there is no thrill like finding a pair of shoes I love, that are in my size, AND they're on sale. My closet is already full and I'm creeping into my husband's. And, I have a lip stick or gloss in just about every color imaginable. Having kids has slowed me down quite a bit, though.

24. Yes. It's insane.
I'm going to make sure my next place doesn't have lots of closet space and an insanely big bathroom, because it just means I accumulate more crap than I normaly would. But, it is so much fun.

23. I'm a liberal who mostly doesn't like hippies, stoners, Green activists
Edited on Thu Nov-11-04 11:26 PM by Dukakis88
I went to a very liberal/radically conscious college, and four years of that turned me into a contrarian skeptic of progressive hipsters, vegans, hippies, etc. Yet I also hate conservatives -- much more so. As a result, I don't fit in anywhere, and have few friends. YAY!

Correllary: I hate the Grateful Dead.

26. Hey, cool... something I like: Charles Schulz.
He was a major force in making my childhood bearable, because he was one of the few voices children were exposed to that acknowledged that life is scary, depressing, unfair, etc., at the same time finding joy in silliness and wry observation. Peanuts was like a friend to me at a very hard time in my life.

29. me too. I loved Peanuts. Had every book, full collection.
Lucy was my hero; she was the only girl around who wasn't dippy and doll loving. The melancholy feeling in alot of them (snowy days; walking alone; autumn) really spoke to me.

My mother threw them all out. :(

30. Theres a new "Complete Peanuts" collection coming out in two-year volumes.
The first two books of it are on the shelves now. It's going to take them twelve years to finish it, but this will be the first time that all of the strips have been collected from the beginning. Great stuff.

I miss paging through. Remember when Snoopy was really good? and before it was all-Snoopy-all-the-time? (before it got totally comercialized)

wow is this blast from the past night? Peanuts and Jethro Tull.

27. Hey Zomby
I have been stuck (by choice) on Molokai for a week eating nothing but tofu and was stung by a HUGE centipede last night.

I'm now staying at finer quarters. I just thought I'd toss that out there. Mai-Tais at sunset in the pool; you know, that sort of thing. ;)

35. I like mayonnaise.
In fact, I'm eating some straight out of the jar with a spoon right now.

And when I say mayonnaise, I mean mayonnaise. Not Miracle Whip. That shit's for WUSSIES.

38. Hooray for Mayonnaise!
You are so RIGHT...why do people think "miracle s**t" is mayonnaise?
It is soooo NOT mayo!

As far as I am concerned, steaming an artichoke is just an excuse to EAT BEST FOODS (or Hellman's now that I'm on the East Coast).

49. Well, mayonnaise is technically an ethnic food...
It was invented on the Balearic Islands off the coast of Spain, where the native language is Catalán.

So, for example, when you slather mayonnaise on your bologna and Wonder Bread sandwich, you're eating an Italo-Balearo-American food.

Your mileage may vary. ;)

40. I really think there are too many to count. I'm a Packer fan. My daughter
goes to Catholic High School, She is a member of the fatigue wearing Civil Air Patrol (that one was almost over my dead body, I can't stand it), I get my Kool-Aid juice drinks at Sam's Club( because Costco doesn't have them, and only when BigLots or Aldi's don't have them)...I could go on, but then they may ban me. ;)

42. Well, since you didn't ask...It's a auxilliary of the Air Force. To me
it just encourages children to join the service at 18. They look for downed planes, help out with parking at area events...that sort of thing...and it really makes me sick,sick,sick. :(

44. sounds quasi-fascist
Then again, I got in trouble yesterday because I questioned the sanctity of the armed forces... removed and locked threads, etc... damned fake democracy.

Like I said yesterday, as long as we keep glorifying soliders, we are giving consent to glorifying war. Iraq is just another link in the long chain of misery, killing, and greed.

Here's a hug: :hug:

Whereas a lot of people think that a person should always be working.

I save more than I spend, which is weird to some people, and that is what allowed me to not work at this time

50. I wear a leather calfskin jacket
...and I LOVE barbecued ribs. And sometimes you just can't beat a medium-rare fillet mignon or prime rib, either.

And I can't fscking stand "jam bands" like Phish or Blues Traveller or their great granddaddy the Grateful Dead. I'd rather spend a year trapped in an elevator with Pat Boone's Greatest Hits than hear yet another 45-minute guitar wankoff by these sad fsckers. Blah.

52. I don't like pot.
Not that I never have done a little experimenting, but it doesn't do anything for me other than knock me out or make me far too spacey. I prefer control over my faculties. I can honestly say I've had my fill of people who do and this liberal woman doesn't want it as any part of my life- especially in terms of who I'd have a relationship with.

Done.
Fin.

55. I really like killing wildlife
so I can eat them. :D I've never actually been hunting before (not something I could do much about) but I've had a lot of game meat, and I like all of it so much I'd gladly go out and kill my own meat. I still believe in gun control, and restrictions on hunting, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to kill and eat Bambi's momma. :evilgrin:
