I’d rather eat Chunk Light Tuna from a can than a broiled tuna steak in a restaurant. ---

The Super Mario Bros movie. I don’t understand why people think it was so awful. It was fun. Wild Wild West with Will Smith. ---

> [@JessMagic](#): > > Woah now! > > Haggis is universally hated? Presumably the haters haven’t tasted it? Presumably. It’s one thing to be presented with a delicious treat that bears some resemblance to sausage, and love it,without having learned what it’s called. It’s quite another to know that it is sheep’s heart, liver, and lungs, minced with oatmeal, suet, and onions, and boiled in sheep’s stomach, and then be told, _“And now, in honor of your visit, I’ve prepared a huge haggis for ye!”_ ---

> [@happycamper\_5](#): > > [E.T. The Extra Terrestrial for the Atari 2600](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial_%28video_game%29) Hey, I had that game! I never knew it was famous for being bad until I read that link. I remember it being kind of hard to figure out, but I didn’t hate it. I didn’t hate any Atari game. It was before I was old enough to think I had to “judge” everything. It was all good. ---

Dick Cheney. Seriously, I thought he was great, and wished he would have been president. He reminded me of my father-in-law, and man, that guy could get shit _done._ This post was not political in nature, no ax to grind, please don’t kill me, you just wanted something that was universally despised that I personally thought was fantastic. That was Dick. ---

The older I get, the more I like John Denver. Sure his stuff was soppy and sentimental, but somehow, I really like it anyway.
