> [@leftfield6](#): > > I will go with the cheese conversation, but with the specific addition. I hate cheese on a burger. To me a good burger does not need cheese. As a matter of fact cheese ruins a good burger. But no matter where you go, if you order a hamburger, they always ask if you want cheese on that. And when you decline, they look at you like you have a bowling ball for a head. If only. Anywhere I go, _with_ cheese seems to be the default and you practically have to beg them to leave if off. ---

I’m convinced that oyster consumption is driven by people who are afraid that their pearls will lose value unless they reduce the number of available pearl manufacturers.

Classic rock. The majority of the rock music made during the late 60s/early 70s was horrid. Led Zepplin sucks. Black Sabbath is terrible. Deep Purple? I’d rather drive cross country with Rich Little, and the only question I can ask is “do you do impressions?” Beer. Beer is absolutely terrible. I’d rather drink antifreeze. ---

Astrology. I don’t care what your birth sign is. It’s crap. Beer. Agree with the poster above. It is vile. Tattoos. I just don’t get why you want to disfigure your lovely smooth and flawless young skin that way. Now mine could do with some camouflage but I will stick to clothes for that. ---

From what I understand they make enough money off of selling DVDs to people, mostly non English speakers, who mistake the title for the real movie title. So they are hucksters selling to suckers.
