Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Things I Hate:
1) Liver. For that matter, I hate pretty much ANY organ-meat: heart, brains, kidney..... bleccchhh.
2) Diet pop. It tastes like a chemical swamp.
3) Maple syrup. All my French toast, waffles, & pancakes must have butter ONLY.
4) I don't really like carrot cake, spice cake, or angel food cake. Cake should almost always be a rich moist fudgy chocolate. Once in a while fruity flavors (like lemon, orange, cherry) are acceptable.
5) Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip, or any sauce that is based on these. (Tartar sauce, 1000-island dressing,)....
6) Horseradish, and any thing that contains horseradish (like some cheese spreads that would otherwise probably be quite tasty. I've now learned to check the ingredients before buying, to ensure that I don't accidentally get some nasty horseradishy tub of junk.)
7) Scooby Doo was great. Scrappy Doo, however, was downright annoying and needed to go on Ritalin.
8) SPORTS: Football, baseball, basketball, golf, soccer, rugby, cricket, jai alai, hockey, softball, volleyball, kickball, dodgeball, tennis, badminton, ping-pong, or polo-- I hate it all and want no part of any of it. I do, however, like to watch Formula One racing/Indy Car racing. Those cars look so cool (and yes, I love seeing the wrecks). I don't really care for NASCAR, though even that's better than the aforementioned sports atrocities.
9) Beets. They taste like dirt, no matter what you do to them.
10) Marches by John Philip Sousa!! The french horn parts are invariably boring-- usually just a series of afterbeats. Clarinets, piccolo, trumpets, trombones, you guys get the decent parts; we get crap. Every time. Curse you, John Philip Sousa. (So you can appreciate the irony when I received the "John Philip Sousa award" in my senior year of high school.) (1988) (!!!)
11) I hate onions but love hot peppers, therefore I have a love-hate relationship with salsa.
12) I love chocolate milk but I hate Prairie Farms brand because it tastes like a bunch of chemicals. Ick!! I wonder, am I tasting antibiotics and artificial growth hormones they foisted onto the cows?
13) Sorry, guys, but I can't stand The Three Stooges. Their violent physical humor is so NOT funny to me. Eye gouging, hitting people in the head with a hammer-- in real life, these things would have people either blind, maimed, or dead. Not funny. I know it's all just pretend, but that doesn't matter. Unlike cartoons, these were real people trying to make cruelty look like comedy.

Janna: I'm still amazed you don't like horseradish. You love all things hot! Horseradish is my preferred way to get to hot, rather than hot peppers!

Beets = even more evil than SNOW!

why would people eat something that tastes like dirt?

I never knew you got a John Phillips Sousa award. Irony!

except for the mayonnaise thing and the horseradish thing, gotta say I'm pretty much with you on the other 11

Anyway, great Thursday Thirteen!

Thanks for the comments, guys. I'm surprised no one argued about the Three Stooges. I thought for sure I'd be in the minority on that one.
Morgen: I love hot peppers, but can't stand the flavor of horseradish OR hot mustard. It's not the heat that bugs me, it's the godawful taste.

Cincy-Diva: Don't worry. I don't hate clarinet players; I just hate that John Philip Sousa gave you guys all the good parts. :)
Onion-boy: Awww! I DO like sour-cream-and-onion potato chips; hopefully that offers me some small measure of redemption...?
