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

Some people call themselves "social smokers"



One of the most ridiculous things out there. My favorite is "I'm not a smoker, I only smoke when I drink" :D

"I'm not a child abuser, I only beat kids when I'm drunk"

Why do people think they need to own so many things?

To tag onto this, people who have so much crap that they have to rent space to store it for years.

Not talking about things like a boat that's taken out, or Mom's stuff that you haven't gone through yet (though you only get a year on that if you're in the same city), or interim storage while moving.

Talking about people who buy shit and don't have room for it, and then buy more shit. If you're not using it, let someone else use it, don't spend money not using it.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Depending on how many rigs and how much climbing gear (i.e. do you actually use it still, or do you still have every rig you ever owned going back to the 70's?), that's in the category with the boat. Bulky and used regularly.

So you get a pass. I've said so, and that settles it :)

Have to say I only have 1 Skydive rig (2 mains though- and will jump them both this year . Sabre for WS and Katana otherwise).
The climbing gear has not be used for a couple of years :(

but I do have 4 Paragliders (and a Speed glider) that take up a lot of attic space and only 1 gets proper use. (It's difficult to sell 2nd hand canopies, I should give them away to a school)

So I see what you mean:$

HERSHEY'S so-called-Chocolate - WTF is in that stuff?



Space aged polymers. Or maybe brown wax. I can't even touch the stuff ever since I took that chocolate cooking class and got my hands on some real chocolate. We used Valhrona for the class. We're starting to catch on in the USA and you can find decent-quality US-Sourced chocolate if you know where to look. Whatever my friend Robin uses at her store is awesome. I'd be a mite surprised if she told me she made her own, but not THAT surprised.
I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Chocolate snobbery.



:D:D:D I've had the "good stuff" from all over the world but there's just something about being able to grab a Hershey's chocolate candy bar (with almonds... double yum) or a bag of Hershey's Kisses from Wawa when the craving strikes. One of my childhood holdouts along with Spaghettio's with Meatballs. :)

Agree. While I do appreciate the difference, I seldom turn down a Hershey bar. :)

+1, Great big guys in tight pants running into other great big guys in tight pants. Makes even less sense than reality TV.

And along those same lines....


Realtree or almost anything from Cabelas for any other reason than when you are going hunting... Duck Fucking wear as a fashion statement is just FUBAR.

Pink realtree is a signal to avoid the whole family at all cost.

What? You don't enjoy cat food meatballs? :ph34r:

Well, it's more about the sauce than the meatballs. (OK, I'm a pasta sauce snob.:S)

I'm with you, there!

I think it's a generational thing. I didn't eat it as a kid, but most people younger than me did. My kids love the stuff, even though they're grown, now. Yuck.

+2, nasty stuff. My kid eats it,too, but he'd also rather have fruit and veggies than candy. What is it with kids these days!? :)
