When Mercury was visible with the naked eye, and everybody was making a big deal like it was Halley’s comet, or something.
Least favorite online store.
komix online - Their online submission engine is crappy. They don’t know how to discard original PDFs when corrections are submitted and they keep flagging the same errors that were fixed.
Least favorite reason to call in sick
Up all night puking, because I was up all night puking.
Least favorite dog you know personally.
My friend Ellen’s dog, who always insists on rubbing up against me and getting fur on me.
Least favorite cat you know personally.
A friend’s cat, named Sallow, a perpetual dispenser of hairballs and cat poo.
Least favorite breakfast cereal.
Anything in the Captain Crunch genus, used to cut the living frell out of the roof of my mouth as a kid.
Least favorite daily comic strip
Henry: it was stupid in 1920 when it was new.
Least favorite South Park episode.
The one where Cartman wrestled the midget he had been tormenting. Just truly obnoxious.
least favorite appetizer
Raw veggies and ranch dressing
Least favorite soup
Cream of broccoli. Broccoli is great as a vegetable on its own, but it does not belong in a cream soup.
[I rather like raw veggies–including broccoli–and ranch dressing, by the way. :)]
Least favorite Clint Eastwood movie?
“Heartbreak Ridge”. See comments concerning least favorite war movie above.
Least favorite “A” list religion
Southern Baptists - incapable of adapting to modern times
least favorite weapon
The WWII German “shoot around a corner” Krummlauf rifle - silly and ultimately unworkable.
Least fave amusement park (incl. any experiences there)
Tibidabo Amusement Park, Barcelona. It’s got one small roller coaster, a merry-go-round, and a couple of other rides. But there are great views of Barcelons, if the day is clear.
Least favorite Halloween candy?
Peanut Butter Bars. I don’t like “peanut butter-flavored” anything.
Least favorite character in Lord of the Rings.
Denethor-since the previous post didn’t specify book or film, PJ in the films simply didn’t give the character sufficient depth (due to lack of running time available or what have you), so he’s my choice mainly because of what the director did to him.
Least favorite fantasy trope (overused or trite or such)
The trope where the civilizations that existed thousands of years prior to the current timeline were more powerful and knowledgeable, and kept their secrets hidden after they perished. Why does any powerful civilization regress to the stone ages because reasons?
Least favorite eye color
With apologies, I have to admit the reddish eyes of albino people kind of freak me out
Least favorite hair color
Least favorite color I’ve seen on people: pink. Least favorite natural color: tow-headed little kids. Because I find them unappealing. Maybe little tow-heads have a certain Aryan youth thing going that bothers me. Pink hair should need no explanation.
Least favorite headache remedy.
BC/Goody Powder because gross.
Least favorite TV Commercial ad campaign?
