Against the grain

[Jim H]

I just find piercing anything but the ears to be vaguely creepy.  I mean, I look at the piercing and just inwardly shudder, wondering why anyone would want to do that to themselves. 

And I'm not even going to get into getting piercings "down below" if you get my drift.

(shudders violently)

I understand what you're saying, just realize ear piercings are only different because of the type of cultural exposure they get.  In the end, all piercings are just a way of hanging shiny bits on your body.

When it comes to certain comic book characters-I've liked the replacements.
for example
My favorite Green Lantern is Kyle Rayner.
For Ghost Riders I liked Danny Ketch.

That made me remember, I have a top 5 list of money pits in the world.  All of which I can't stand because society puts way too much value on it.  All of which go with the theme of the thread.
 
1.) Jewelry- ditto what Bull said.  Organic material that has a 300% markup in value.  

2.) Weddings - thousands upon thousands of dollars to play dress up for one day.  All that money COULD go toward a house for the new couple or something worth while like a vehicle. Seems really stupid to me.  

3.) Greeting Cards - Nothing like wasting paper to say "I'm thinking about you".  

4.) Flowers - Spending 40 plus dollars on a bouquet of roses that will die in seven days or less.

5.) Christmas - I've said enough of about this silly holiday in other threads.

Totally agreed.

Then again, I'm against marriage as a whole, but that's a whole other conversation...

i hate people say that New Orleans is a bad place to live, I say so What, your judgment is has to do with crime, but this is a very nice place to live!

Michelle Obama scares me.  Not sure why yet.  Maybe its the Oprah hair. 

[retrorussell]

Totally agree about weddings and greeting cards. 

Other things I feel differently about than most people:
I like the smell of gasoline.
I don't like pumpkin pie or pineapple.
I don't like alcohol much at all.
I don't like jam.
I hate dancing.

my sister doesn't understand the concept of pie

Being poorly versed in political names and terms, at first I thought you were talking about their KIDS.

She had and continues to have her detractors but I was (and also still am) more than a little in love with Princess Diana. My only regret is that she discovered her niche in life so late in her short life.

I think Jennifer Aniston is overrated.  She's not that great of an actress, she's not really all that funny, and she isn't all that good looking.  I used to get sick of all the girls that fawned over her like she was their close personal best friend or something.

Lady GaGa

She is merely a pop version of Marilyn Manson and quite frankly hurts the opinion of homosexuals rather than helping it (just to make it clear I'm not a homophobe).

Dawn of the Dead - I am a black sheep among horror fans...I have never thought this movie deserved as much praise as it has. Although I do like it and it is far from the worst zombie film (that would be, "Zombie Chronicles", directed by Brad Sykes). I just always considered "Night" and "Day" to be far superior.

I'm sure I'll be back with more hatred to spread soon.

Yes indeed. She plays the same damn role in EVERY film I've ever seen her in.  She's Sandra Bullock class to me, IOW she's ruined every film she's ever been in for me.

You know, I actually hated this film as well when I first saw it.  It did grow immensely on me in subsequent viewings.  I like it because theres something cool about a mall, zombies and automatic weapons.

Side note on my early "Money Pit" list.  Do you notice how 1-4 kind of all relate to one another.  Odd...hmmmm...
