If this involves Fran Drescher in a third-world prison, I’d totally watch that.
Anybody who’s into Cyndi Lauper should look for a thread I’m going to start in MPSIMS in about a week. I promise you’ll hear a unique story. 
The literary equivalent of a Big Mac and fries, right? 
I can’t make it a year without rereading the Belgariad.
Since there’s not a separate thread … can you believe that ending? :eek:
So much pretty, covered in so much blood! I’m going to be very, *very * upset if CW doesn’t pick up this show for next season. Kripke, you bastard!!! :eek:
:eek: I’ll be on a trip next week and I doubt I’ll be online, but if you e-mail me the link I promise to bump your thread when I come back the week after. That, or I guess I could just search for it when I get back.
If you see Her, let Her know she is loved.
my lowest low brow pleasure: US magazine - their snarky “fashion police” feature. I’m just glad these magazines will never ever get a picture of me.
The Price is Right is great because of Bob Barker. Watching this guy work is amazing, he really is the last of the Mohicans.
Star Trek that isn’t Voyager :rolleyes: Cops and those “Worst Drivers and Car Chases” shows. Any live car chase (I’m in the LA market). Family Guy. If Ron Popiel has a new spot I like to watch it. I like local news too. I like to see the dumb crap people get themselves into. On my gravestone I want it inscribed: “He made it through life without being on Eyewitness News”.
I won’t include South Park or The Simpsons becasue they aren’t low brow.
McDonald’s. Big Mac, Filet-O-Fish, Quarter Pounder, Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger. I have learned to eat them with a side salad, but would rather have fries. If I am in a Wal-Mart McDonald’s that sells the fried apple pies, I’ll have one of those. Other fast food in general. White Castle is the one food I wish we had in Southern California that we don’t have. Oh, and Bob Evans. Denny’s would run for the hills, and that is a good thing.
Howard Stern is funny, but I won’t buy Sirius.
My regular brew is Budweiser. If I go out, I like Bass on draft though. Or Anchor Steam. But at home I drink Bud or sometimes Michelob.
The movie 1941. It’s so manic, especially the dance contest. Supposedly it also shows the danger of everyone doing too much cocaine.
Miami Ink - I’ve told my daughter we’ll go down there and get tattoos when she turns 18.
I’m with Cervaise on bad, bad disaster movies. I’ve seen Dante’s Peak probably 25 times and Volcano at least half a dozen. Counting the days until that Bird Flu movie.
The first season I somehow got really into Everwood. Then kind of drifted away this season.
Maury Povich’s paternity test shows.
And, sigh, I’ve also seen Fried Green Tomatoes at least ten times.
Telly: We make a habit of watching Monk as a family on Monday nights. Formulaic fare, with implausible plots, but the central character is sympathetic and well-drawn.
But horse-racing from Happy Valley on the box of a Wednesday evening, when I’m in, would represent my personal nadir.
Reading: threads like this, of course.
Movies:
Star Trek IV. Okay, I admit to nearly weeping with joy every time Scotty says, “Captain, there be WHALES here!”
I’ll call you Dante’s Peak and Volcano and raise you Earthquake. The 1974 version, in which everyone runs into the underground parking lot in LA after the Big One.
Books:
Eddings, check. Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar series, check. McCaffrey’s Pern books, check. We’re talking comfort reading here.
TV:
Okay, I must confess. I did not miss a single episode of Jerri Hall’s Kept. In which a bunch of lowbrow American guys competed to become her Kept Man. It was the best one-off reality series ever.
I’m gonna add:
Eating ice cream out of the box
Hank Jr.
Married with Children
…hmm, is that a Haiku?
Fish sticks with my kids, Denny’s grand slam breakfasts…
Prisoner Cell Block H! Wow, do I ever remember that show! Too funny!
Evolution- “There’s ALWAYS time for lubricant!”
Disaster movies rock. So do space alien movies. And the boxed set of every episode of Schoolhouse Rock? It’s MINE, not the kids!
I laugh like a moron at that moron who puts out CDs of himself calling people up and pulling pranks on them, usually at the behest of one of their friends. I think he’s a DJ out of Oklahoma or somewhere. Has a quaint country-fied pseudonym, but I’ll be damned if I can remember it. I still recall him calling a Navy recruiter about the dath of “his son’s” hamster.
Sir Rhosis
The O.C. - it’s predictable, the acting is bad, and they recycle plotlines faster than most daytime dramas but I haven’t missed an episode.
Smallville - probably one of the most ridiculous shows of all time and it takes itself far too seriously. Every episode the characters seem to make decisions that go completely against their character. I haven’t missed an episode.
Anything with Pauly Shore
Blink 182
I don’t really think this counts, but maybe you will…
I’ve paid cash money to see Hanson live in concert twelve times. On about half of those occasions I’ve travelled out-of-state just for the concert.
And I’m 36 years old. And I don’t have any kids.
(and no, I don’t want to sleep with them, ew! :rolleyes: )
I’m a huge Britney Spears fan. Her music, that is.
mm
Another Juggalo on the board! What up ninja!
ICP may be as low as low brow can go but I love 'em anyway.
Mr. Ed
Cheap Seats
2 1/2 Men! That show just cracks me up.
The Bad Touch by The Bloodhound Gang “You and me baby, we ain’t nothing but mammals, so let’s do like they do on the Discovery Channel.”
That song is just on double entendre after another…I think I share a sense of humor with 8th grade boys.
The 40 Year Old Virgin
MmmBop! I’ve always adored that song, although I haven’t gone to see them in concert. Nothing wrong with cute, young, bouncy music – it takes me back to my fondly misspent youth.
