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.

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.

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.

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?
