All the people who enjoy gigantic muscles on men are other men. I don’t know of one single woman in my whole life who admired the ‘condom stuffed with walnuts’ look. ---

How about actually skinny men? I love me a guy with single-digit bodyfat, without bulging muscles. If you think your guy is “too skinny,” pass him my way. ---

Anchovies! Most places don’t even put them on Greek Salads anymore, and they used to be a standard component. Also, many pizza places have dropped anchovies as an add-on because no one requests them. If I have a yen for a Greek Salad, I actually bring anchovies with me so that I can put them on myself. ---

Velveeta - only cheese that I’ll use for a grilled cheese sandwich Nickelback & Creed The Monkees - the well known songs Black licorice B&W movies and TV shows - I know a lot of people that can’t believe I watch them. They refuse to even try watching. Cooked pudding skin - I am horrified when I read - put saran wrap on top to get rid of the skin. BEST part, especially chocolate pudding. I love being alone. I always dream about a small cottage on a lake in the woods with my dogs and books. Stairway to Heaven - I know, it’s been overplayed but I still love it. George W - He seems like a nice guy. Ringo - my favorite Beatle ---

> [@Qadgop\_the\_Mercotan](#): > > Dubbel zoute drop! I once innocently picked a piece of dubbel zoute out of a candy dish and popped it into my mouth. Instantly I literally spit it out – not a discrete tongue it into a napkin but a forcible, three foot ejection into a sink; luckily I was standing in the kitchen at the time. Having had Dutch candy before, especially Hopje’s Coffee Drops, I’d had the impression it was all good stuff. I had to revise that to “mostly” and wondered why anyone would subject themselves to it. As for the question in the OP: Burning Man. To crib from a popular bumper sticker, _My best vacation_ )`( _Is your worst nightmare_ ---

> [@DesertDog](#): > > I once innocently picked a piece of dubbel zoute out of a candy dish and popped it into my mouth. Good thing you didn’t try the drie dubbel zoute! I could only enjoy that one for about half the drop. I have enjoyed seeing some novice salmiak tryers spit the drop across the room, including one woman who was quite proud of her netherlands heritage. ---

On a completely unrelated note, are you still having trouble finding a date? I don’t think I’ve ever smelled a skunk. Always wondered what it smelled like. Can’t be worse than durian. ---

Plenty of women like big, bulging muscles on a guy. Many who are into fitness / strength training / bodybuilding themselves, for one. ---

> [@Franklymydear](#): > > i look out the window the entire time, except when i am looking at the flight map. A game I like to play while flying, if I’m in a window seat, is to look out the window and try to identify some geographic feature, like a city or body of water, and then check the flight map to see if I was correct.
