The Al Gore’s package thread lead me to do this: What attracts and repulses you at the same time? ---

The “Pine Nut Chicken” dinner at the local chinese restauraunt. (Called the ‘Jade Inn’. Are there any Jade Inns near you?) I don’t know why. I order it occasionally when I go there. The first few bites are a sheer delight! But there’s something about the incredible speed in which it fills you up. About 3/4ths of the way through the portion of food–it begins to get repulsive. 🙂 At least until I order it again next time. -Ashley I like food. ---

my husbands penis? It is really ugly, as are all men’s package. but I know what it can do, so it attracts me. yogurt, it is really a gross consistency(sp?) with little lumps. but sometimes it tastes good anyway. Taco bell… It is cheap and fills you, but where does the meat really come from. ---

well, no. …but they _are_ strangely facinating, especially those long, three-quarter-inch numbers. 😃 ---
