I like John Denver. I also like Neil Diamond. I even like the Carpenters. But I draw the line at Barry Manilow. ---

I actually like BOTH Charlie’s Angels movies, the first Species, Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, Hudson Hawk, Six-String Samurai, and most movies with The Rock. I think the women from the Justice League Unlimited cartoon series (drawn in the style of Bruce Timm) are totally sexy. ---

Well, I’ve never seen **Reality Bites** , but I pretty much agree with the rest. Even the Corvairs. My dad used to have a '65 Turbo Charge cherry red Corvair…I loved that care. I also really like Shatner’s work. I think his song with the Ben’s Fold Five _In Love_ is one of the best things I have ever heard. ---

I love Star Trek:Nemesis!!! I loved The Punisher Movie!!! Kill Bill Vol. 2 was way better than Kill Bill Vol 1!!! Duran Duran represents the best pop music has to offer!!! ---

Hi, my name is Torgo. I watch the place while the master is away. I think \*\*John Denver \*\* was one of the great pop songwriters of the 20th century. I enjoy sardines in **mustard sauce.** I eat my cereal **dry.** _I don’t put milk in it._ On my birthday I ask my wife to make my cake…without frosting. **I hate frosting.** I like watching **Little House on the Prairie.** I bought the first 5 seasons on DVD. I think \*\*Abbey Road \*\* and \*\*Sgt. Pepper \*\* are the Beatles’ weakest efforts. I think **Paul** was the better songwriter. My favorite car is the **Ford Festiva.** ---

Lessee . . . . The Human League (had a serious thing for Joanne Catherall – the brunette – and any band with Jo Callis as a member is OK by me). Food court Chinese food – I know it’s crap, but I like it anyway. Same thing with Pizza Hut pizza (thin crust only). I’ve had enough really good and authentic Chinese food and enough outstanding pizza to know the difference, and much as I love them I still like the junk at times. ---

> [@cricetus](#): > > Did you recognize the girl from Water World in Napoleon Dynamite? (She played the girl who worked at Glamour Shots, and drinks 2% Milk even though she totally doesn’t have to.) I did. It was strange. I knew I had seen her before, and I also knew that what I had seen her in, she was a child. But, I had to look up who she was. ---

Read your post **RealityChuck** about Emmitt Rhodes and instantly heard the piano intro to “With My Face on the Floor” although my fave of his was “She’s Such a Beauty.” Still got the LP. 😃 ---

I also like lima beans, straight out of a can,dont even have to heat them up… And Twinkies…by the BOX. And the movie Bubble Boy And Zag-Nut candy bars. And classic country music when no one else is around… ohhhhhh there’s more I feel like such a freak ---

> [@cricetus](#): > > Did you recognize the girl from Water World in Napoleon Dynamite? (She played the girl who worked at Glamour Shots, and drinks 2% Milk even though she totally doesn’t have to.) I am alarmed to discover that, without looking it up, and not being a fan of _Waterworld_ and never having viewed _Napoleon Dynamite_, I nevertheless knew that the girl in question’s real name is Tina Majorino. ---

Speaking of underappreciated vegetables, I have to stand up for my favorite green friend: Okra. I love me some fried okra. With a passion. My attitude towards food is rather bleh, but okra is one of the few foods I will eat by the pound. Most people disdain okra. One girl once told me, “I’d think if you’d eat okra, you’d eat anything.” Oh no, ladies and gentlemen, do not let yourselves be fooled! While okra may seem humble, it is in fact a vegetable of sophistication, of refined tastes. Yum. Okra. ---
