I bet I’m the only person here who doesn’t have ice cubes or any other form of ice in her freezer and hasn’t for at least five years.

You win on a technicality, because I bought my first ice tray about five months ago, and I’ve lived here for eight years now…but, I do have ice cubes currently, so I can’t disqualify you.

I bet I’m the only person here who likes the Placebo b-side “Little Mo”. Even I don’t understand why anyone would like this thing; it rather sucks by any objective standard, but its existence delights me for reasons unknown.

To toss out one I stand a chance of losing, I’ll bet I’m the board’s only fan of Swedish folk-rock group [Nordman](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordman).

I’ve done that.

I’ve even listened to Stockhausen while having sex … bet not many can say that!

Done both! - I bet I’m the only one here who (occasionally) listens to Merzbow to relax. Haven’t tried listening during sex, though. I find the thought … disturbing.

Went through the entire thread and didn’t see this, so here goes:

I bet I’m the only person here who likes Miracle Whip sandwiches.

Not Miracle Whip _on_ a sandwich, mind you (well, I like that too, but I suspect a few more of you do (though not many since MW gets a lot of undeserved hate around here)), but what I’m talking about is just a big swath of Miracle Whip between two slices of white bread.

Haven’t had it in a long time, though, because I don’t buy white bread anymore. That’s just about all I’d end up using it for (maybe a few grilled cheese sandwiches, too), and even though I like MW sandwiches, I wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) eat enough of them to go through an entire load of bread before it went stale and/or moldy.

Think there was a brief mention of mayonnaise sandwiches upthread but am not feeling up to tracking it down again.

I’m pretty sure I’m the only person on this board, however, who likes Bolshevism.

That sandwich sounds kinda gross, but: have you ever considered leaving the loaf in the freezer and taking out slices as needed?

I throw in a couple of other thoughts.

Bet I’m the only person that ranks **Strange Brew** and **Rocket Man** as two of the funniest movies ever made. ( **The Jerk** also, but that’s an easy one).

Playing with the pads is irresistable - you lose that bet.

You may have a winner with sniffing them.

Nope, times two. Mr. singular and I like it too. Also, take that pasta and fry it in the butter - the crispy bits are to die for. If you wanna get fancy, dice some bacon and crisp it first, but just the fried noodles are heaven.
