What Do You Like That You're Not Supposed To?

Probably already been said before (in fact I may have said it) but Taco Bell.

The two most common complaints I hear about it are

  1. It gives you diarrhea (I have no idea what weak stomaches someone must have where it would give you the runs every single time)

  2. Some variation of “It’s inauthentic” or “It’s not REAL Mexican food” (I don’t think it’s been claiming to be authentic Mexican food for the past two decades)

It’s one of those things that you’ll see people tweet about in absolute anger on occasion which never made any sense to me.

If someone believes in dissolving my friends’ marriages, denying their civil rights, legalizing discrimination against them and me, considers my death an ‘acceptable loss’ for the sake of the economy, supports concentration camps, is unwilling to condemn outright Nazis, and all of the other stuff that being pro-Trump entails, they are not a friend of mine. When they decided that all of that stuff is fine with them, they ended any previous friendship we might have had.

What political positions would someone need to take for you to consider it reasonable not to business with them? If they called for dissolving all marriages from your religion (or marriages outside of religion, if you’re not in one)? Said that if EMTs decide they don’t like you and let you bleed out after a car accident they should be protected from being sued? Flew a swastika or confederate flag directly instead of indirectly?

Women without makeup. 99% of the time I find them more attractive after they wash the garbage off.

I also like Taco Bell, though it does upset my stomach like every other fast food.

FWIW, those people I’ve heard say it does that only vaguely mention, on the by-and-by, the 12-pack of cheap beer they washed it down with.

Deep fried, breaded shrimp with ketchup.
Deep fried breaded oysters with tartar sauce.
Canned salmon. Canned mackerel.
USDA commodities canned beef and pork.
Screwcap red wine.
Instant unsweetened iced tea.

Raw turnips, rutabagas and kohlrabi. Also cooked rutabagas.

‘The Jerky Boys’ audio skits.

‘The Jerky Boys’ movie.

The Amazing World of Gumball is a good show, I watch it with my children. Pretty sure men in their 40’s was not the target market.

Teen Titans Go! is also pretty good.

Good one. I’ll add Adam Sandler’s audio tapes. I doubt they’d hold up today but they were side splitting during my formative years.

I really enjoy a top flight single malt scotch like, for example, a 14-year old Balvenie. Scotch is not considered to be a woman’s drink, which may be true because I’m the only woman I’ve ever known who will drink scotch at all. At home right now I have an 18-year old Glenmorangie I got as a good-bye gift from my former boss just before he left and moved out east.

Raw turnips with a little salt are quite good.

Oooh, jealous - that’s my favorite. Don’t get to drink that anymore :sob:
