Guilty Pleasures

We had this thread on the old MB and I thought it was a good one, so I decided to start it here. My guilty pleasures:

My Old Navy tank top.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Magazines like Better Homes and Gardens, Martha Stewart's Living, Madamoiselle, and so on.

Tiramisu.


I am sure I can come up with more later.

- Stonehedge Farms organic maple-flavoured full-fat yoghurt (comes with a layer of cream on top...mmmmmm....)

- Star Trek novels and schlocky historical romances

- coffee with half&half

- spending a whole day sitting by a lake with a good book, cool shades, gobs of sunscreen and a 2-litre bottle of gin & tonic

- watching Friends

- SDMB at work

Blue Bell Chocolate Almond Marshmallow ice cream.

Since it only comes in the half-gallon container, we're talking a lot of pleasure and a lot of guilt.

Oh, and don't think I didn't notice that ON tank top, Michelle. You've got to strikes against you now.

Kidding, kidding!

Oh, and don't think I didn't notice that ON tank top, Michelle. You've got two strikes against you now.

Kidding, kidding!

what happens to cause these annoying double posts???

That maple flavored yogurt sounds *really* yummy.

I guess I must also add my GAP drawstring pants to my list of guilty pleasures, because I love them to death but everyone else here would rather poke their own eyes out before they would wear GAP or ON clothes.

Godiva Chocolates
The Pretender
Buffy
Ben and Jerry's Chubby Hubby Ice Cream
Doctor Who books
A new Dirk Pitt book

OK, thought of one more:

Horror movies and books. I know that most horror movies I go to will suck, but I go to see them anyway. I have even gone alone at times, cause I could not convince anyone else to spend money on such crap.

Cake mix pudding. Just add water to the cake mix, stir and eat. Eliminates all that tiresome eggs-oil-and-bake jazz. Great stoner food (I assume I can say that on here and not get TOSed),

Well, that double post was caused by me! Heh. As soon as I hit submit, I instantly saw that I had typed "to" instead of "two". So I foolishly thought I could catch it in time. No such luck. I REALLY wish there was a preview function. It probably wouldn't have helped in this case, but I've made several other UBBC errors that cause me to post a correction.

I think most other posts are caused by people clicking on the submit button, then hitting a key on the keyboard. When you click on submit, the focus goes to that button. Then when you push a button on the keyboard, it pushes the button again. Since the BBS software doesn't even do any elementary checksum checking, it double-posts.

But this was about guilty pleasure, wasn't it. Okay, how about... _Starship Troopers_ (the movie). I know it's pretty bad, but I just can't help but love all the special effects...

Since the Amazing Crimson Hipster Dufous doesn't look like he's gonna be around here, can I have a car full of hookers and a big pile of blow?

okay, Marzipan chocolate bars, Almond cheesecake, speeding down twisty road on the bike and making out in a public place

------------------
Cogito Ergo Vroom
I think therefore I ride fast...

Moosetracks Ice Cream
Chocolate Rasberry Truffle Ice Cream, from Baskin & Robins.
Chips and Salsa
A long hot bath.
Law & Order
Any book store
Garage Sale bargins
( I don't know if this counts) throwing out all the crappo holiday knick knacks my mother in law gives me at what ever Hallmark Psuedo Holiday day comes down the pipe.(Valentines, St. Paddy's, Easter, Christmas) I could have started my own Hallmark bric a brac section by now.

:::gives Bob a carful of hookers and a big pile of blow:::

Happy now, Bob? Hey, wait, isn't that your mom in that car?

And now for my list...

Late 80s-early 90s glamrock. Gotta love the hair...
Air Supply
Pink Ladies (gin, milk, and grenadine. Like Strawberry Quik with a kick)
Cider Jack
The Onion. So politically incorrect. So freakin' funny.
Restaurant/Brand name knockoff cookbooks (Todd Wilbur)
Pat Conroy's novels

Flatulence.

I really, really, really love to fart, break wind, pass gas, float a biscuit, beef, what have you.

Shopping when I should be cleaning my house.

Reading SDMB at work (Shhhhhh...)

------------------
Those who can't hear the music, think the dancer is mad.

"Chicken Soup for the Soul" books--sometimes ya just gotta cry.

Oreo cookies buried, whole, in chocolate ice cream, then eaten, as if soaked in chocolate milk, after the ice cream is gone.

Spending time doing just the fun stuff with kids, then turning them over to their parents when they get cranky.

A polar fleece pullover, so cuddly.

Kid's meals from Mc Donald's or Burger King.

Beef jerky. Something about it seems so tacky, but the stuff is really tasty.

Guilty pleasures?

Hmm... Eating the dough while making peanut butter cookies. Staying up until the house is silent and the moon has gone to bed. Reading an entire book and taking all night to do it. Playing outside with my son long after dinner time has passed and I know I ought to be inside setting a good example for responsibility *L*. Taking naps in the middle of the day when the sun is shining in the window on my face and everyone in the house is gone and there's dishes to be done or some other equally important chore. Eating dessert before dinner. Eating dessert instead of dinner.

Ohp.. think the rest aren't guilty pleasures. Those will have to do.

yours to draw...

Omniscient; BAG

Eris, you're a dairy-person after my own heart! If I could buy half-n-half in gallon containers and not have my cholesterol go through the roof I'd do it!

Guilty pleasures:
Coffee with my sister-in-law (rant and rave about the in-laws and husbands!!)
Laying in the beautiful, hot, Lake Michigan sand after you get out of the lake all cold
Weepy chick movies watched when my husband isn't home to say "what are you crying about"
Singing very loud to my Diana Krall CD when no one is around (I'd be alone pretty quickly if I started singing with people in the room!)
Letting the cats come in under the covers to snuggle - a warm fur blanket!!
Driving around, feeling cool, with the radio blasting and the windows down on a sunny day
A whistle or second glance from a guy when I'm out exercising or just walking down the street (ok! the secret's out! We like it!)
A huge shopping trip to the outlet mall with my mom, aunt and sister.

There ya be!

Singing in the car (I must look foolish to everyone else on the road--everyone else that isn't singing, too, that is.)
Randy Mantooth

Drawing naked ladies during staff meetings (I think I really am trying to get fired!)

Comedy Central
Pizza, chocolate, and Coca-Cola (but not necessarily at the same time)
LoveLine (I trust Dr. Drew's opinion unquestioningly--and he's kinda cute, too)
Me in a Dr. Drew and Johnny Gage sandwich

Ok, now I'm feeling very guilty

-"Hercules" and "Xena"
-"Wonder Woman" reruns
-Weird Al Yankovic
-New Age music
-Late night internet surfing
-Buying audio and video equipment I don't need
-Sunday afternoon couch naps



------------------
Carpe hoc!

Watching A-Team reruns, whenever I can find them. I have 12 hours taped.

watching friends and ally mcbeal(I like Ling), while talking on the phone ..we watch the show together, and talk in the commercials.
xena, rugrats, scooby doo, assorted cartoons,
the simpsons
chocolate ameretto cheesecake, in bed
porno movies
getting stoned in the porch after I put the kids to bed, and shagging for hours.
reading trashy novels instead of doing housework or sleeping (work the next day)
singing in the car
candles in the bathroon & long scented baths
driving fast in a borrowed car
checking other peoples medicine cabinets..oh like you dont do it!
meethinks I've said too much!

The "Powerpuff Girls" cartoon.
Eating raw hamburger (now a dangerous pleasure, thanks to E. coli).
Listening to ABBA (there's got to be a 12-step program for this!).

Boy, Guy...if I wasn't married....
I didn't think anyone else in the world liked to snarf a little raw hamburger. My husband has a coronary everytime I eat a little.

Lesee,

Ditto on MrKnow's Sunday Afternoon Couch Naps except add one warm cat
Carmel-Apple Dip without the apples
Lewd fantasies about an old flame
Hot baths that are so hot they're difficult to get into

I'm sure I'll come up with some more....

KITTEN

He who walk through airport door sideways going to Bangkok. - Confucius

A full pound of Bacon with maple syrup on it.
Root beer float made with Hagen-Dazs. (Oddly, I'm not overweight. Give me time.)
Sleeping until 11 on a weekday.
Fantasizing about illegal things that I would certainly never do and dare not speak aloud.
Blowing belly bubbles on my cat.
Making love outside in the woods.

Well, actually, I don't really feel all that guilty about some of these.

Ooo, I'm happy to see this thread revived

I thought of a couple more guilty pleasures:

West Side Story
Stephen King
Emergency!
Are You Being Served?
Old reruns of Saturday Night Live
Spanking my big cat's fluffy bottom -- it's just so fluffy, it looks like he's wearing pantaloons!
Eating Wow! potato chips -- you'd think a person wouldn't have to feel guilty about eating a reduced fat or fat free chip, but people first reaction is, "don't those things cost a fortune? Don't they give you tummy trouble? I've heard such awful things about them..." My reaction is, "Maybe, no, and bite me."
Telling people to "bite me" -- is it supposed to be sexual? I don't really want to get bitten, but it sure shuts some people up quick which is what I want.
And Randolph Mantooth!

Tracy Ullman. I actually bought a video, since they don't rent them.

I'm waiting for the ultimate comedy, where Whoopi Golberg and Tracy Ullman dress up as each other.

As a sociopath, I am of course incapable of feeling things like guilt, but my love of malt liquor is well documented.


oh, and Beethoven.
