I might be the only Doper to eat sour cream on french toast, just because I’ve never seen anybody say that here. I might also be the only Doper watching The Bachelorette, just because it’s super-cheesy and dumb. (It was an accident!)

I love to make a dipping sauce for my cucumbers/mushrooms made out of ranch + tabasco or [Sriracha](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sriracha_sauce).

I wouldn’t call it awkward (maybe unnecessarily long,) but I can also explain why it’s correct. 😃

I’ll do you one better: I think Bud Light is the only beer that is worth drinking because of the fact it doesn’t taste like beer at all.

Me either, although I know the story very well through just cultural association. However, I do still enjoy watching the SNL version.

I like the song “Midnight at the Oasis.” Good guitar, good vocals.

There was a novelty line of perfumes from a company called Demeter a while back (they might still be around for all I know), and gasoline was one of them. Liking the smell of gasoline is a lot more common than you would think.

Mothballs, you might be on your own, though.

For mine, I am going with runny soft-boiled eggs mixed with mashed saltine crackers. My mom used to make it for me when I was a kid and I still like it as comfort food. I’ve never met anyone else who even heard of this dish, much less enjoyed it.

Does anyone else here have [this song](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN9UT2zF8c8&a=GxdCwVVULXclv4FfJAct9b9d0g0kYG-F) on vinyl?

Just curious.

Like skunks and the smell. And I have two different versions of Never Gonna Give You Up in my itunes (one is from the comic ‘Looking for Group’ and the other is an 8-Bit version). It’s fun!

Wrong. Me too.

I bet I’m the only one who likes Manowar and Mud.  
I know I’m the only who wears kimono as everyday clothes (which to be honest is all most of mine really are)  
I bet I’m the only one who’s read the old (80s) Thundercats comics.  
I bet I’m the only one who’s watched all the episodes of Silverhawks.
