Everyone else hates polo shirts? That’s news to me.
Polo shirts are actually a thing I hate that everyone else seems to love. Wrong thread.
peas and anything flavored lime … if you see something that used to be lime its now “sour apple”
So now we have key sour apple pie?
I am unversed in the niceties of drumming styles, but to my ears, the drumming by Ringo seems just swell to me, and always has…the thing that had always angered me is, Ringo (maybe due to his rather comical turn in ‘A Hard Days Night’) seems to be looked down on as a clown, or a fool, or not taken seriously. A guy I knew once guffawed at the Abby Road picture, 'hee-haw, lookit the Beatles, and there’s Ringo, just walking right along, like 'I’m just part of the group, ha '. it made me furious, he WAS part of the group and every bit as important as the others.
He is just fine, and much better than “just fine.” All the drummers and non-drumming musicians I’ve played with respect his work. There’s been plenty of pushback in the last few decades of the trope that Ringo was a horrible drummer that I can’t believe anybody still holds the notion that he’s objectively bad. I’m sure such people still exist, but the thought seems, at least to me, to have mostly gone away.
Well, Ringo does have a wonderful offbeat sense of humor. Once when asked if he would be willing to accept a knighthood, he answered that he would hold out for a dukedom.
I’m not a drummer, but if you’ve ever googled “drummer jokes” you know that there exists this notion of drummers being less than full contributors to the overall sound. I don’t defend it; I merely say that it exists. And I’m sure a lot of it falls under the umbrella of good natured ribbing.
I always thought they should have made a sedan delivery model of the PT.
The word “moist”. Probably because I associate it with food, where it’s usually a good thing.
I know I’m replying to a banned account, but the post is relevant.
I was always the same way as a kid. I’ve always been fascinated by aviation. But I never had any interest in flying the planes.
I’ve been incredibly fortunate that I’ve worked in the industry for about 25 years now. Everything from throwing baggage onto planes, to fuelling planes, and then moving into management by running airline operations centres. I’ve moved into the final phase of my career from which I will retire as an aviation regulatory compliance and safety inspector with our equivalent of the FAA. I’ve found every second of it to be as interesting as the last. And I still get excited to go to the airport.
Licorice. OK, there must be a pretty good market for the stuff, as there are a lot of varieties out there, but nobody I know personally (aside from my older brother) likes it at all.
Hey - more for me!!
(but not that vile salted licorice stuff - my attempts with that are documented here.
I love licorice. Always have – even as a little kid.
What I hate is what used to be called red licorice when I was very small. Now, it’s called Red Vines. That, and Swedish fish, taste like nothing more than plastic. Icky plastic.
More of it for me, yay!
Real British or NZ licorice, black of course- sure, a little. But those nasty twizzlers or whatever-No.
Yep.
Red Vines is just a specific brand. I (and the people I know) still call them “red licorice” generically. Perhaps it’s regional.
I love licorice! And I was a child of the '50s, when there was only one kind of licorice, black.
Twizzlers are quite different - there’s a pretty strong divide among Red Vine-lovers and Twizzler-lovers (one of many reasons I know Sheldon Cooper to be an ass: he liked Red Vines). If you like one, you will hate the other. Neither is especially delightful though I do rather like the Twizzlers. Likely an artifact of growing up near Hershey. Not the Halloween-packaged ones though - those seem to be a completely different flavor profile - almost vanilla-y in flavor.
I don’t loathe Swedish Fish though. They’ve actually improved somewhat since I was a kid - I recall they had a faintly cardboardy taste back then. Maybe I’ve just grown to love cardboard?
Oh, and neither Twizzlers (the strawberry etc. sort) nor Red Vines are licorice - though like many, I grew up calling them that. Just because they’re shaped like licorice Twizzlers does not make them licorice!
Not me. Both are OK.
Ha, I think part of my hate for red “licorice” is that I was fooled by the name when I was a kid!
Me too.

“Moist” doesn’t bother me at all, but it’s close relation “Toilet” has always made me cringe and grimace. It’s a profoundly disgusting utterance. Not because of any associations- it’s just the sound of the word that makes me feel stabby.
And now, my guilty pleasure/Thing that I like but… etc:
In A Gadda Da Vida, Honn-uh! Yes it’s moronic, a little pretentious, and all the other criticisms from the past 54 years, but god help me I still enjoy listening to it. Even as I’m digging it, I’m embarrassed by the fact.
