there is an ongoing war here, between the california transplants who drive like californians [with a purpose], and the locals who tend to drive like sticks in the mud and who won't lead or follow or get the hell out of the way.

On The Road is a tedious book. I couldn't even get through it. As far as Kerouac goes, The Dharma Bums is way better. And Pride And Prejudice is the most yawnworthy work ever to sully the English language.

Courtney Love is not actually evil so much as messed-up. Has taken too many drugs, badmouthed too many people over the years, and managed to estrange herself from her own daughter, but she's made some darn good songs and no, I do not believe she killed (or got anyone else to kill) Kurt.

Watching 'reality' TV shows in which people who don't fit society's idea of 'normal' are mocked and derided for 'entertainment' is actually damaging to human moral values. We can't complain about kids bullying one another while adults are positively encouraged to bully other adults (and, for that matter, kids, on occasion).

Being fat (I refuse to use the medicalised and inaccurate term 'obesity') is, in the vast majority of people, a natural human variation. Its negative effects on health are vastly over-rated and skewed by the many people and organizations who have vested interests in making people feel crap about themselves so they'll buy more Stuff, saving government money by declaring people 'unworthy' of various forms of social support, and/or giving the rest of society a readymade, visible scapegoat it's not illegal to hate on. How people can be helped to improve their health is a laudable subject for discussion - but an entirely separate one.

Mayonnaise is the drool of Satan. If you want it that's your call, but don't put it in my sandwich when I haven't asked for it.

Also, not unrelated to the last point above....Dick's Burgers really aren't all that. (ducks and runs as everyone in Seattle throws things at her...)

I'm against the monarchy being sustained here in the Netherlands.

'Reality' Television.

Please.

I haven't seen the show. I'm a very heavy guy myself, and even the idea of that show makes me feel queasy.

In England itself, crumpets are more likely to be eaten than muffins.

Dear Tequila, sounds good; send me a crumpet!

english muffens in the US are more like crumpets then muffins?

my breakfest is either friut or 2 english muffins with 3strips of bacon and 2eggs(1 1/2 bacon, and an egg per muffin)

You could just have them with butter after you've toasted them or you could stick cheese on 'em and put 'em under the grill. I do that sometimes.

Zombies will soon no longer be the rage.

Despite what everyone on the internet thinks, Tina Fey is not funny.

that "biggest loser" female drill sergeant "jillian" is a harpy.

Mick Avory is my favourite Kink. He's the best.

rap is not musical to me.

Agreed... about the (c)rap too.
