Things you think are cool that other people think are stupid. . .

[m-jean03]

I think tie-dye muscle shirts, musical films, really short man shorts, mullets, and high-top sneakers, and a number of Sting albums are cool. These are all things that I've heard other people call stupid at one time or another though. :shrug: :P

How about you? Confess your "bad taste" here...

[ohiosmith]

1. My tattoos.

[rbnyc]

2. Fear Factor

Actually, I do think it's stupid. But I love it. I can't help it. I hardly ever get to watch it though. I'm either at work, or my husband wants to watch something on PBS at the same time, and I just can't come up with a good argument for watchng Fear Factor instead.

;-)

3. I wish I hadn't read that post, Mlle Boppin.

:puke:

Lighting farts is cool. :smoke:

[m-jean03]

6. Hey! I'm "lovably eccentric"...

. . .My family loves me, anyway :cry:

[Donkeyboy75]

8. Do they know you like mullets?

If not, don't tell them. ;)

[Donkeyboy75]

9. dupe

delete

[m-jean03]

15. Guess you felt pretty strongly about that one, huh?

:D They do indeed know I like mullets. I have a habit of moaning and shrieking when I see them on attractive male actors on television. :P

[Donkeyboy75]

18. Now I'm beginning to understand your

habit of watching Lethal Weapon movies over and over.

[m-jean03]

21. Hey! I have a complex and intelligent appreciation of those films

based on their juxtaposition of classical tragedy and comedy!

I never even noticed that Mel had a tighter ass and a prettier head of hair than Cindy Crawford in those days!!! No I didn't! :spank:

[Donkeyboy75]

36. I'll give you that.

But she had better boobies!

[m-jean03]

47. These days, that may be debatable.

:shrug: Or does he stay in shape? :)

[Donkeyboy75]

48. I'm not sure. But I think ol' Cindy's as perky as ever

:drool:

[Donkeyboy75]

20. The short man shorts is bad, too.

[m-jean03]

23. Hey, remember how I wanted to meet you??

Change your attitude (and your shorts) or forget it, dude! :D

[Donkeyboy75]

37. You used to flatter me,

but based on today's revelations and yesterday's (that you have a crush on Alan Alda and Gene Wilder), I'm beginning to wonder what the hell is wrong with me. :)

[m-jean03]

45. Nothing's wrong with you per say,

You just need "M-JEAN's EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY" to make over your wardrobe. :D

[Donkeyboy75]

46. Shit. And I just threw away all of my tie-dyed muscle shirts.

And I saw what else you wrote, you tart

:evilgrin:

[m-jean03]

49. I was afraid it might've sounded a tad creepy.

Though since you saw it already. . . :D

Naw. Stay married. I could care less. We are obviously incompatible! :P

[Donkeyboy75]

50. "I was afraid it might've sounded a tad creepy."

I think half the things I say are creepy. No worries. :pals:

And see, you do care! Because you COULD care less!!!

And quit editing your damn posts!!!! :)

[m-jean03]

52. Wow, you really caught a Freudian slip, didn't you?

OK, OK. You know you are a heartbreaker. :cry: And that half-eaten pizza still awaits you in my fridge!!

[Donkeyboy75]

54. Freudian slips.

Say one thing and mean your mother.

What's on the pizza? I was scolded in another thread for eating old pizza by the food police. I'll take some of your fresh sushi instead.

[m-jean03]

58. What's on the pizza?

Better come and look, I really can't tell :scared: :P

Sushi it is! You should know, I don't disappoint. :-)

[rucky]

4. Tom Jones

Fabio
shorts & socks
American Idol
slapstick
farts

[Delano]

30. Everyone knows Tom Jones is cool as hell!

nt

[Rowdyboy]

5. Friends and Frasier

But you'll never catch me admitting it here!

[camero]

7. I'll admit it

I wear my baseball cap backwards. It's more comfortable.

[m-jean03]

11. It looks good on you.

I'm having "New Kids On The Block" flashbacks, but that's OK. :-)

[camero]

14. whew

At least you weren't having N'Suck flashbacks...lol :)

[utopian]

10. Back Hair

God put it there. Who am I to shave it off?

[Angelus]

12. Wearing my baseball cap backwards....

And my tattoo I'll be getting shortly. :)

[Burma Jones]

13. Don Ho

[Robb]

16. Don Ho is as cool as ice, baby!

...And anyone who doesn't think so is foolish, and must fight me. :D

[SoulDiva]

17. *hides*

Techno music, wearing desses/skirts over my pants, cheesy 80's music (Cyndi Lauper, Nena, Tears for Fears), Politics

[m-jean03]

19. Welcome to DU!

I too, love much of that so-called "cheesy" 80's music!

And here is a place where no one will call your love of politics stupid. :hi:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

24. Another vote for "cheesy" 80s music

Speaking of cheese, I LOVE macaroni and cheese (it ain't just for kids!). I also love Barry Manilow. Also put me down for American Idol and Survivor. For some reason Toto gets a bad rap (the band, not the dog), but I love them too. Am I shallow and infested with terminal bad taste?

[trof]

22. smoking

<ducks>

[DonP]

25. Motor Scooters

Not the powered skate boards, but real scooters like Vespas, Lambrettas, Bajaj, etc. I have three of them.

Of course now, with gas hitting $2.50 a gallon plus, a vehicle that gets 125 mpg + might look a lot less dorky to some folks.

[Whitacre D_WI]

26. m-jean03

:P

[m-jean03]

28. You know where you can stick that tongue!

:P

[Whitacre D_WI]

29. Where?

:shrug:

[m-jean03]

31. In my ice cream cone.

Hope you like "soft serve." :9

[Whitacre D_WI]

34. Yummy!

What flavor?

[m-jean03]

35. Vanilla, baby

Good ol' fashioned vanilla! :D

[Whitacre D_WI]

38. That's boring.

:(

No guava? Or pistachio? Or ceviche?

[geniph]

27. I love mullets and 80s New Wave!

and I like actual shorts on men (not these baggy-ass things that hang past their knees that they call shorts now). Birkenstocks. Old musicals. Guys with ponytails. Dreadlocks. Body modification. Gender ambiguity.

[Delano]

32. Star Trek.

I'm not a Trekkie, because I don't do conventions, know the lines, or even watch every single episode, but I do enjoy it immensely. Most people seem to think it's pretty lame.

[TrogL]

33. old books

eg. out of print science fiction

[MissMarple]

39. Elephant jokes and period English movies.

:bounce:

[m-jean03]

44. Hey, you sound like a righteous woman to me.

:bounce: :)

[BigMcLargehuge]

40. virtually every Toho monster movie

and every Daiei monster movie ever made. Figures from those movies. Books about those movies. Posters of the characters of those movies. Soundtracks laden with Godzilla roars and other SFX.

[EstimatedProphet]

41. BADGERS!

Badgerbadgerbadgerbadgerbadgerbadger

[m-jean03]

53. OKAY, you're weird!

You're weird, alright?? :P

[EstimatedProphet]

59. Actually, no, THIS is weird:

[southpaw]

42. Pompous-assed 70's prog-rock...

among other things...

[mitchum]

43. Blackface minstrelsy

My great-grandfather was a performer in The Tarbrush Serenaders.
Why is there something noble about honoring ancestors who practiced sedition in order to keep other human beings as chattel, but improper entertainment is beyond the pale?

[Deja Q]

51. British sci-fi...

Take your pic:

Dr Who
Blake's 7
Sapphire & Steel
Neverwhere (not the best, but it's inventive...)
Red Dwarf (arguably)
The Prisoner (arguably)

And it's not bad taste. Rick Berman's endless embarrassment of slopping down Trek is truly bad taste material. (even some episodes of TNG I once liked don't seem anywhere near as cool anymore, they're so bland and one-dimensional. They can't even moralize right either. TOS may be the worst in terms of scientific inaccuracy, but it sure did a vastly better job with the human condition. Some TNG eps still hold up, but I don't revere the series as being so great anymore. :-( "Insurrection" nearly had me back as that's a great movie, but "Nemesis" knocked it down 500000 points... Berman and co need to quit NOW. )

[Champ]

55. Lethal Weapon 4

Also liked Pootie Tang very much. Other then that everyone thinks that everything else I do or like is cooL! B-)

[Jackhammer Jesus]

57. Pootie Tang's a classic.

Sa-da-tay!

[ikojo]

56. X Files (I have an X Files mouse pad at work)

Starsky and Hutch (I have a pic of Paul Michael Glaser up in my cube at work)
Barry Manilow
The Monkees
Star Trek TOS
Macs
Dr Who
