What is one thing that you will absolutely never understand the appeal of?

[champu 1]

American football has become a mess in my opinion, I only really watch it out of compulsion. All the "this is reviewable, that isn't", challenging, and making calls to maximize reviewability just makes the whole game feel like I'm watching a lawsuit. I can't remember the last game I saw where there wasn't some new idiosyncrasy of a rule uncovered.

To the OP:

-Another vote for not getting Fantasy Sports Leagues
-Carrying balances on credit cards
-Las Vegas
-Choosing a home and work location that involves a long driving commute
-Over-priced clothing
-Celebrity news magazines/TMZ/etc.

Love the Turtle but I don't want to keep him in my house. In a glass aquarium thing. Turtle needs to explore the ocean or a lake.

-Carrying balances on credit cards

Perfectly understandable by anyone who's ever had a job that pays so poorly that they barely squeek by from month to month, and need a credit card as a buffer for sudden, necessary unexpected expenses. Ever been broke and then lost your only pair of glasses?

If you've been fortunate enough never to have lived on the edge like this financially, lucky you. However, you shouldn't presume that those who are not as lucky as you, are acting illogically.

83rd post and somebody FINALLY mentions "twerking". I just don't get that shit with Miley Cyrus. Her dad needs to slap some sense into her.

"20/20" once ran a show about credit card dept. What astonished me was how many fools were carrying CC debt, (and paying exorbitant interest), while at the same time having cash in the bank with which they could have paid it off at any time. When questioned, they had the explanation:

"Oh, I might need that cash for an emergency."

Doh! That is what the CC is good for!

The last time I ran debt on a CC was when I had just found my first "permanent" job out of college, and needed to move out of state and set up a new place of residence. I paid it off as soon as possible.

Can't have it both ways. Can't be all "OMG lazy fatties need to get off their ass and exercise" while simultaneously requiring them to not actually be visible exercising while fat.

To be fair .. nutrition is far more important than exercise AND a lot of these Lycra clad folk are not putting a lot of effort in anyway.. and can mostly be viewed outside Cafes.

Agreed. Even when I was putting in crazy long rides (up to 14 hrs in the saddle in one day), I never seemed to lose any weight. It was only when I started working on restricting my diet that I dropped the weight.

But the weird thing is if I miss my regular every-second-day 2.5hr ride, I can easily start gaining weight.
