I don’t get why this would be a problem. Ho Hos are great, and I think TSMR is the Stones best album; it’s certainly my favorite of theirs. I don’t get the connection between the two, however.
You are aware that BK offers a vegetarian burger, right? Next time, you can get a BK Veggie! It’s the only fast food place that actually offers a real vegetarian option, aside from salad + fries. My only criticism is they nuke it. It would be so much tastier if they char broiled it like they do the meat burgers, except the meat juices would contaminate the veggie burgers, thus defeating the purpose. I order it with all the Whopper fixings – it kind of sucks unless you add a bunch of toppings to it.
This is going to be my breakfast on Sunday, with a nice hot cup of tea. Well, I might substitute apples for pears. But other than that - breakfast!
ETA: Maybe I’ll add pineapples. Pineapples are tasty!
ETA again: Now I’m hungry. Is it Sunday yet?
I’m not sure how many people hate it, but I love Taco Bell. Yummy.
Taco Bell gets a TON of hate on the board, but I’m with you. When I’m poor, I can get lots of good (not gourmet) food for 3, 4, or 5 bucks, and when I’m flush, I can splurge, and get a lot of better food for 10 bucks. I only wish they hadn’t eliminated the chili-cheese burrito. Fuck, that was good…

Taco Bell will substitute beans for beef, too, which opens up the majority of their menu to vegetarians.
Leonard Part 6.
I think that Papa Ginos’ cheese pizza is the best pizza ever created and I’d eat it every day if I got the chance.
There are so many things that I agree with in this thread (lima beans, turnips, Temple of Doom, Spam, Vienna Sausages, Taco Bell, and on and on).
People hate “American Pie”? I love that song. Never knew it was hated. Same with Waterworld and a lot of other mentions. (Limas, Indiana Jones, Taco Bell, etc.)
I do understand hate for Haggis, though. I had it once and it tasted like my bathroom smells after a trip to Taco Bell for bean burritos.
I love Arby’s. I hear a lot of hate for them. When I was a kid we’d get it once a year because it was so expensive, but we all loved it. I would have rather gone to Arby’s than go to a sit down restaurant.
No connection except that both have received quite a bit of disdain. In my experience, Ho Hos (and their ilk) are one of a very few foods that people seem to feel an insurmountable urge to scoff at when they see an adult buying or consuming them. Satanic Majesties was pretty much universally panned when it came out and has gained a reputation as a monumental failure, a classic example of the worst excesses of psychedelia, and a cautionary tale of what can happen when a good band tries to follow trends and make music that is outside their skill set. As I said, though, I love it.
By the way, just to show my breadth of taste, I also love boiled beets, mashed turnips, and Brussels sprouts, and I really like Kentucky Fried Chicken. And I used to work there.
I like almost everything here- and am blown away by the fact that apparently some people think some of the best bits of things are bad…
Tom Bombadil was an unbelievable, great wonderful character who should have gotten soooo much more book time…
And really, a whole lot of this thread…
I haven’t tried haggis, but that is as I haven’t been offered the option, ever.
The only ones I would have to say I DON’T like from this list are Jar-Jar (he should die, and george with him, although now that I have kids, I am more accepting), ketchup on steak and Beiber- and I don’t even hate Beiber, just don’t like him.
The other stuff… I don’t know- none of it is bad. I wanna see the cites that say this stuff isn’t appreciated!
Fruitcake.
Although I will admit that some ‘bakers’ make it difficult sometimes, by trying to pass off cheaped-out imitations of real fruitcake.
I love Marshmallow Peeps. And Spam. And Subway sandwiches. In fact, I think I’ll have a Subway sandwich for lunch today.
Ebert gave Battle: Los Angles 1/2 a star and I actually liked it. Going in with low expectations actually helps sometimes. I thought it was a lot better than Skyline.
Being better than Skyline is not something I’d consider to be a deep challenge, but that’s probably a topic for another thread (I actually wanted to see B:LA but no one would see it with me because of the reviews it got). 
Grease 2 – I was young and saw it before I saw the original. The songs are fun and there isn’t much thought required. My kind of movie!
This would be utterly foul to me NOT because of the Spam, but because of the raisins. Raisins are the devil in dried fruit form.
And mine is mac and cheese from a box. I won’t say “everyone hates it,” because that’s certainly not true, but it ain’t gourmet, that’s for sure.
And add me to the list of people who prefer canned tuna over a tuna steak. Not that I don’t like the latter, but the former is just so much more comforting.
Lima beans, Brussels sprouts, turnips, cabbage, Taco Bell, good fruitcake, and Barbarella.
I couldn’t make it all the way through Skyline, but B:LA was okay. That is not to say that Source Code or the The Adjustment Bureau weren’t much better. The nice thing about Netflix and Redbox, is that you don’t feel financially committed to watching a whole movie once you decide it sucks.
One movie I decided to try off Netflix was The Big Bang with Antonio Banderas.
It turned out to be Film Noire mixed with quantum physics. I actually ended up liking that.
I like:
- Disco
- Barry Manilow
- Lima beans, cauliflower, and broccoli
- The Swamp Thing TV series
- McDonald’s cheeseburgers (though not as much as I used to when they were much greasier and less salty).
Who doesn’t love cabbage? I’m pretty sure it’s my favorite vegetable.
So here’s mine: I couldn’t put down The Da Vinci Code.
