True Confessions

I'm on the same page as Xcashier: I like Brussels sprouts (in fact I've grown them in the past and plan to this year) after a frost properly cooked. Turnips are good in a beef stew. Mrs. TGK shared a liver hash recipe from her mother--actually quite good.

I agree with MoonCat about rap & hip-hop.
The Twilight franchise, I don't get--it strikes me as just another saga of teen girl in her bad-boy phase.
Raw bell pepers, they give me an acidy taste that lasts for a couple of days (Mrs.TGK is fond of pointing out the irony in my growing them. I cite two reasons: 1) an indespensible ingredient in most relishes and 2) aesthitics--they are pretty plants).
As for sports: NASCAR...or auto racing in general, come to think of it does nothing for me...yawn.
Pro boxing bores me. I only follow baseball and football 'til the Cubs or Bears respectively play out the season. I'm no basketball fan, in fact, I only watch when my university is playing-and they aren't in this years tournament.

I also never got Twilight. Before it got big I found a copy, read the back, and skipped to the end. It looked like she was going to die...I was like "well that's ridiculous, why write a whole book just to do that in the end?!"

Then I saw the movie. Even more "huh???" The dad was the most interesting character in the whole movie! It's like he was the only one who was really trying.

The other actors felt...stilted, at best.

Thankfully Pattinson has gone on to better work.

I hate coughing, I hate people who cough, and the thing I hate the most? People who REFUSE to do ANYTHING about their damn cough! Sad thing is that I live with someone who coughs a lot and refuses -- REFUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- to do anything about it, because of [long string of reasons I hear day in/day out].

I agree red velvet cake is awful. So is Nutella, yogurt, any kind of cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, cheesecake, beans, asparagus, wine, tequila, tomatoes and I'm sure there's a lot more
