I like Trek (well, the original and Next Generation). Really not into Star Wars, and I do like sci-fi.Quoth Aragarthiel View PostI'm of the opinion that Star Wars isn't that great. It's not horrible, but not really worth all the hype either. I swear I'm the only person who doesn't get Star Wars references, and I'm not a Trekkie either. But then again, sci-fi really isn't my thing in the first place.
I love doing flat-pack furniture. Looking around my living room, items I assembled include the DVD shelving (designed myself from boards. It's plain, but does the job), the sectional sofa (with storage under the seats), bookcases, my desk (with hutch), and the TV stand (that sucked to build, due to poor manufacturing quality). The bedroom has a bookcase headboard and two nightstands that I also assembled. My last move did involve spending a lot of time with screwdrivers and such, since all of said furniture was purchased for this apartment. One of the few enjoyable parts of moving, really.I'm actually the kind of person that likes putting furniture together. Like, give me a room full of IKEA furniture still in the boxes and in need of an assembly and I'll get it all put together. I might need an extra set of hands occasionally to hold things together while I hammer/drill/screw/whatever, but I'll get it done. I even put our entertainment center together and mounted our 50" flatscreen on my own (which was probably not my smartest idea but the TV survived with just a slightly smudged screen). Hubs hates that I commandeer furniture building but something about following instructions and identifying parts and sitting on the floor shoving things around is like playtime to me."Crazy may always be open for business, but on the full moon, it has buy one get one free specials." - WishfulSpirit

Based on what I do for a living, you might be surprised to hear that I don't drink coffee and I don't like chrome. Don't let the authorities know, though - they might pull my license for that.

I am a guy and I don't like sports. Except for the horse racing Triple Crown. That I will watch. But football, baseball and the rest, forget it.
I also don't like coffee and don't drink it. I will admit it smells good, but the taste ... yuck!"I don't have to be petty. The Universe does that for me."

Ditto, except for the Saints, and the occasional major game with a Roman Numeral in the title. I think one's coming up fairly soon...? >_>Quoth Ironclad Alibi View PostI am a guy and I don't like sports.
Ditto. LOVE the smell when it's fresh, can't stand to drink it. Same thing with the taste of alcohol in general, and just about any food that's green.I also don't like coffee and don't drink it. I will admit it smells good, but the taste ... yuck!
Quoth Jay 2K Winger View PostYou guys are just a font of comedy.
Likewise. Similarly, many fancy-esque desserts such as Tiramisu. Just gimme a hot brownie (preferably with no nuts) with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, and I'm set.Quoth Trixie View PostI don't like cheesecake.
This is the game that convinced me to buy my first Playstation -- Played it, beat it, loved it...But I still don't think it holds a candle to 4 and 6; and I still liked 9 better. It's a GOOD game, but I don't feel it was revolutionary so much as evolutionary.Quoth Kogarashi View PostI also don't get all the fan-love for Final Fantasy 7.
To the best of my knolwedge, you are correct, Sir!Quoth Irving Patrick Freleigh View PostThink that's no longer the case. I've seen reusable filters available for them that can brew a cup or a carafe.

Alcohol. Really I don't get it. There's exactly ONE type of wine I can even tolerate, beer tastes like how sewer water smells, and anything else is just like Satan Pee. I can do really fruity things like Sminoff Ice Green Apple, but why spend that much money when I'd enjoy it more without the booze? I am aware it's probably something weird with my palate, but I'd rather just not drink.
Also I have never gotten the Star Wars hype. The originals had a moderately good story but piss-poor acting, episode 1 was icky and I couldn't get through Episode 2. Didn't even try Episode 3."I try to be curious about everything, even things that don't interest me." -Alex Trebek

As much as I may talk about drinking, I seldom do it, and never in a bar, Alcohol makes me sleepy.Quoth WishfulSpirit View PostAlcohol. Really I don't get it.

I don't care for Star Wars, Star Trek. Harry Potter I liked in the beginning, but got pretty bored with it by the end. I find Dr. Who a little silly and predictable.
I don't like any sports. I watch the Superbowl for Commercials and I read when the game is on.

Here's another from me: I don't like the smell of coffee. I already don't drink it for multiple reasons, but I don't really like the smell either. I know plenty of people who don't drink it but like the aroma, but for me it's not a scent I can stand. I make sure to avoid coffee-flavored Jelly Belly beans because of the taste as well, since the taste and the smell are the same to me."Enough expository banter. It's time we fight like men. And ladies. And ladies who dress like men. For Gilgamesh...IT'S MORPHING TIME!"

I can't stand the smell of either root beer or barbecue sauce, and living in the South it's not easy to get everyone to understand that "I didn't eat anything at your Super Bowl party/wedding/Christmas dinner because it's all covered in barbecue sauce and I can't stand the smell."
I also get that when I explain that I'm not a big fan of peaches, fried chicken, or grits either.The fact that jellyfish have survived for 650 million years despite not having brains gives hope to many people.
You would have to be incredibly dense for the world to revolve around you.

Another here who doesn't like Star Wars. I also don't like coffee pods... I vastly prefer to measure out my own grounds and brew my coffee. Or if I'm feeling super fancy, I use my aeropress and make a single mug of wickedly strong brew.
However, I follow Paleo/Primal (Primal is a slightly more relaxed version of Paleo) and I hate Bulletproof Coffee. I tried making it according to the guy who invented it and holy. Crap. It did cut my calorie intake for the day, by making me almost puke! I asked what I did wrong and apparently you have to work up to that much coconut oil. So I asked myself... why? And never did it again. Yeah, not a fan.

That sound divine!! In my opinion coffee should be able to strip paint from 30 paces awayOr if I'm feeling super fancy, I use my aeropress and make a single mug of wickedly strong brew.
When you start at zero, everything's progress.
