As others have said, I love your first one. I have a sub sitting in there right now, in fact. I loved Buffy but I don’t like space or western shows.

> [@AClockworkMelon](#): > > I bet I’m the only person on this board who LOVES salt and vinegar chips. Not even close. Depends on mood, granted - sometimes I prefer ketchup, or plain, or sour cream and onion, or smokey bacon, or all-dressed, and occasionally, a bag of roasted chicken will really hit the spot - but S&V are good. ---

> [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > I loved Buffy but I don’t like space or western shows. Since I know Firefly combines both of these genres, I would hate it. Not necessarily. I hate westerns, and am no big fan of horror, either, but Buffy and Firefly are my two favorite shows, and it’s been my experience that people that enjoy Buffy also like Firefly quite a bit, but there are a lot of Firefly fans that don’t like Buffy. If you like Joss, you should at least give it a shot. ---

I bet I’m the only person on this board who loves cocktail sauce on eggs (scrambled, omlettes, over easy - yum). I bet I’m the only person on this board who loves canned asparagus better then fresh. I bet I’m the only person on this board who loves to mix grape jelly into cottage cheese. ---

It’s not as if I haven’t posted this about a thousand and one times (at least) on the SDMB already, but here goes anyway: I’d bet that I’m the only Doper who actively loathes Joss Whedon’s oeuvre. I shall be shocked, _shocked_ I tell you, if even one person agrees with me. ---

> [@Rhiannon8404](#): > > Chopped dill pickles and yellow mustard mixed into cottage cheese. That sounds great with some chips or saltines! Also, I love Philip Glass and Borges…from several posts back. Whatever happened to all of the love for Bacon Salt, anyway? LOVE it on everything! I use salsa as salad dressing. I’ll sit down and eat a jar of capers or anchovies or most anything considered to be a garnish. Anything that’s typically served hot from pizza to lasagna to mashed potatoes, I like just as well cold (don’t think that that’s too uncommon, though.) I LOVE circus peanuts. Oh, and Howard Stern. SO BUMMED that he’s not on E! anymore… ---

You’d be wrong. Off the top of my head, \*\*Lamia \*\*and \*\*Argent Towers \*\*don’'t like him, either, and **Anaamika** only grudgingly tolerates him after long hating him. You do stand out in how often you post about it, though. We get it. Incidentally, the thread is about enjoying things, not being the only person who X, which so many posters seem to be forgetting. ---

I bet I’m the only person who’s performed successful minor surgery on himself with an x-acto knife, hydrogen peroxide, cotton balls, and tweezers. More than once. (I occasionally have to remove ingrown toenails. I’ve only had to go to a doctor once for being unable to reach the base of the nail.) I’ve been able to live through the pain associated with ripping the nail from the bone at the base of the nail. I bet I’m the only person that knows the words to every Warner’s Brother Cartoon song ever written, including but not limited to: “The Rabbit of Seville” “Pussy-kins cat food” “Overture, Curtains, Lights” and “The Square-Dance Song” ---
