1. Really bad horror movies (I know that this is hardly unique, epsecially on this site, but I don’t know anyone in real time who does this. Most of my family and friends won’t watch movies with me. Pansies.)

2. Beets. I absolutely adore them, especially pickled.

3. Walking barefoot in snow. It is a yearly ritual for me. I don’t know why I love it, I just do.

4. A perfume company I like once put out a body spray that was lime and basil scented. I LOVED it from the start, and still hoarde my tiny remaining stockpile, despite the fact that everyone around me assures me that I smell like a salad.

5. Alka Seltzer. I am literally the only person I know who enjoys taking this stuff. In my defense, it’s usually because I either have heartburn or can’t breathe. I think a swift gulp of salty soda is worth it.

Most Gotchas Dept.!! I liked that the best!

Jeff or whoever knows about these things… http://x-entertainment.com/halloweenjukemystery2/
when I click on that link you gave me it only says "sorry." Is there any other way of listening to the songs? Streaming is out with 56k, I guess.

I’m not really sure about the list thing.
But I do enjoy Spam the Foodstuff. We ate a lot of it as a kid, cause we was po. It is really good stuff though. With ketchup.

Ghosted by kidneyboy @ 09/29/2005 9:54 PM EDT

Hey Kidney — sorry, I had to "block" that link, because it’s just too much to have 60+ MP3s up for mass download, which eats up more than streaming. Maybe I’ll make a "secret" link for those who are really stuck over the weekend.

5. Solitude

Ghosted by The Yeti @ 09/29/2005 10:06 PM EDT

1. The game "Arcanum." Got terrible reviews, for the most part, but I can’t get enough.
2. Circus peanuts.
3. Chumbawumba music other than "Tubthumping."
4. Blankets short enough to allow my feet to stick out the end.
5. Great big hairy spiders. Tarantulas make excellent housemates.
6. Supplying superfluous additonal answers to surveys.

And now you’re that much closer to truly comprehending the inner Jedoc. I’m going to Target after "Serenity" on Saturday to hunt down the Jones. I’m hazarding that enough time has elapsed to allow the phenomenon to reach this, the ass end of America. If not, screw all you overprivileged Yankees.

Ghosted by Jedoc @ 09/29/2005 10:10 PM EDT

1- Pepsi Blue

2 -Anything in a package. I will buy a box a pop tarts and starve to death simply because I love how a never-opened, full package of pop-tarts looks. You name it: trading cards, kleenex, pens, staples. I want everything to be contained in it’s packaging FOREVER. Yeah, moving’s going to be a bitch.

3 – Pepsi Holiday Spice

4 – warm pop ("soda" or "fizz" for the non-Canadian)

5 – Batman and Robin – just kidding.

Ghosted by phunqsauce @ 09/29/2005 10:14 PM EDT

Holy crap, I want that "Fuck Yeah!" ghost as my avatar.

On to the task at hand:

1. Getting voicemails from people I hate.
2. National Public Radio AND Public Radio International (equally)
3. The Smashing Pumpkins (yeah tons of people love them but even more seem to hate them).
4. Sushi.
5. Picking things up from the ground, putting them in my mouth, and saying "At least now I know where it’s been." (The last one was a gummi worm. I’m convinced that this quirk/party trick will lead directly to my early death).

Ghosted by Kyle @ 09/29/2005 10:18 PM EDT

I LOVE hating Coldplay.

Damn, Coldplay sucks.

Ghosted by Road Block @ 09/29/2005 10:19 PM EDT

First of all:

"Bags To Put Leaves In" = Brilliant

Also, Like I said, I’d report once I tried any of my Halloween Jones Sodas. I tried Candy Corn first, and you weren’t lying about the color, Matt. Also, I thought it tasted like Carbonated Maple Syrup. I’d definately drink the remaining 3 cans of it.

And I’d still like some tips on where to find Frankenberry & Boo Berry here on Long Island

My 5 Things:

1) Drinking/Eating pure ketchup, either alone on a plate, or riught out of the serving cup. I dont eat it straight from the bottle, that would be sick.

2) Like I just said, the Candy Corn Soda

3) Mortal Kombat: Deception

4) That Tim Curry song from The Worst Witch

5) Frankenberry

Ghosted by Invader Norbert @ 09/29/2005 10:23 PM EDT

1. X-Entertainment (just kidding)

1. Halloween, and the 4 week marathons of horror movies that come with it

2. Old games

3. The 80s and I love the 80s on VH1 (and 70s)

4. Posters

5. DOOM

P.S. Has anybody heard of the scifi/comic book convention? Selma Blair is gonna be there to show some scenes from the new verion of The Fog, and Kristina Lokken and Billy Zane are gonna be there to show some scenes from Blood Rayne. (Yes, it’s based off of the game) You also get free posters from The Fog, Zathura, and Niel Garman’s Mirror Mask. The website is http://www.comicbookscifi.com

Ghosted by CotterP @ 09/29/2005 10:24 PM EDT

1. Fruitcake. It’s one of my favorite parts of Christmas.

2. The smell of skunks. When you’re driving down the interstate at night and you get blasted by the reak of a dead skunk, it’s fantastic. I really, rally love the smell of skunks.

3. Terrible early-90’s martial arts movies, starring no name Karate instructors who got lucky because of studio bandwagon jumping after the success of Bloodsport.

4. The smell of OFF mosqutio repellant.

5. Snakes.

Ghosted by The Wukong Effect @ 09/29/2005 10:29 PM EDT

Matt- no prob. I understand, people would be on that link like flies on poopie. I only had time to listen to the jukebox once before my "situation" changed. But the Halloween megamix rocks, reminds me of Lords of Acid!

I’m not used to being on dial-up. It def. sucks.

Let’s try the list thing.

1. The Residents — They are the guys who wear eyeballs on their heads, play extremely crazy avant-garde experimental music, and almost no one knows about them. But whenever I play some songs for people, they don’t like them. So.

2. Not talking. I talk alllll day long at work, and when I come home, I like to turn it off for a while. Unfortunatley, that’s not a good thing.

3. Staying in hospitals. This is weird, I know, but over the years with all my surguries and etc…I’ve actually come to like staying in the hospital. I never wear the "gown/johnnies" I bring my own pajama pants, and I always wear tie dye, or Zeppelin and Floyd shirts. Good for starting convo’s with nurses. I also know enough to make sure I get a children’s menu. They have alternate foods you can get, so it’s actually pretty good shit. Like hot lunch, but better.
Always bring my CD’s and/or MP3 player!! I would also just stay up late watching TV, reading, and the nurses would be like, OK, time to get some sleep. And I’d be like, um, no, it’s only 8:45, and I stay up til 2. So eat that, Rat-shed.

And so I have been enjoying all my hospital stays in the recent years.

4. Ketchup on potato chips.

5. uhhh. I enjoy not liking beer. Everyone in Wisconsin drinks beer, and I just don’t like the yeasty taste. I kind of like it when I can be different and be the only non-beer drinker in whatever group of people I’m with.

That was kind of fun!!

Ghosted by kidneyboy @ 09/29/2005 10:30 PM EDT

oh yeah, Wukong, I like skunk smell. When I’m driving, and I smell a skunk, I always open the windows to let it in. It smells like reeaalllyy awesome weed!

Ghosted by kidneyboy @ 09/29/2005 10:33 PM EDT

Five things

1. Port Wine. I hate most alcohol, but I love Port.

2. Plainsong Chant.

3. Model Railroading…There’s probably only 100,000 MR’s in the US.

4. Reading books about computer history, like "Fire in the Valley"

5. Reading English novels such as "Jane Eyre"…I can’t help it…I’m an English Major!

2. Pumpkin Guts
3. Picking scabs
4. Stick shift
5. Cold weather

Ghosted by Diarrhea Dave @ 09/29/2005 10:41 PM EDT

1. The band Mushroomhead. Nobody likes them at all, but I still totally maintain that they just don’t "get" them. Not that I think they’re that great, but still they’re under appreciated.
2. Sometimes I put this fruit slushy thing on the burgers at school. It tastes good.
3. I drink warm soda all the time. None of my soda is refridgerated. Everybody else says it’s gross.
5. I enjoy skipping the number 4.

Ghosted by Wyatt @ 09/29/2005 10:45 PM EDT

1. the smell of tape (like Scotch tape)
2. warm, flat Sprite

5. classical music

Ghosted by LuLu @ 09/29/2005 10:47 PM EDT

Dave, reminded me of one more.
6. picking scabs and also peeling dried glue off my hands. (After I have been crafting with glue…I don’t just put glue on my hands for the sheer joy of peeling it off.)

Matt, what was up with that scary ramma-lamma-ding-dong? Totally threw me for a loop, but I was happy to see "I’ll Kill You" the sheep again Too funny!

Ghosted by Jillybeann @ 09/29/2005 10:59 PM EDT

I also love gas station stink and burnt popcorn. This is actually a really hard topic:
1. 9 Chickweed Lane/Pibgorn. I’m soooo into these comics and I can’t believe everyone else isn’t too, but even the vast wastelands of the internet don’t yield a hidden trove of fans.
2. Pearl/Bobo/Brain Guy episodes of MST3K.
3. Little yappy dogs.
4. Watching other people play video games.
5. Bad and/or wrong fan fic (link purposely omitted ^_^;; )

Matt!!! They are holding another auction of Carnivale props/memorabilia, and guess what’s up for bid? A vintage Butterfinger bar, unopened (it was in Dora Mae’s funeral scene). It doesn’t say how old it is but it looks ancient.

In no particular order:

1. Mappyland for NES
2. Being single
3. The smell of rubber cement
4. English food (haggis, black pudding, etc.)

3. Yoko Ono
4. Playing the Accordion
5. Being barefoot at gas stations

Ghosted by Mattman @ 09/29/2005 11:20 PM EDT

1) Discussing the intracies of nuclear power (fission and fusion)
2) Coldplay (not that I’m their #1 fan or anything, but I thought I’d try to level the playing field on the message board….)
3) Reading the instruction manuals of video games (even if I know everything in them already)
4) Waking up before my alarm goes off every morning.
5) Trying to guess when they’ll say "but wait… there’s more!" on an infomercial.

Ghosted by Gozer @ 09/29/2005 11:28 PM EDT

I love the Ghost with the Most! This one was particularly excellent.
Okay, my five things:
1. Space Cases (near-decade old Nickelodeon SciFi show- few remember it).
2. Macaroni (or any pasta, really) with tomato juice on it. It’s like cheap sauce without chunks! I also like to drink tomato juice, but I HATE tomatoes with a passion.
3. Children’s books about mice.
4. Sugar Ray (the band).
5. TIE- The Quiznos Spongemonkeys and the Burger King. Oddly enough, I eat at neither "restaurant." (I can NEVER leave BK with a correct order… or a shake. My family must be permanently on the free food list.)
I could totally think of a better #5, but I’m blanking.

Ghosted by Rainbowfeet @ 09/29/2005 11:31 PM EDT

6) Oh yeah, and I like making references to really obscure things that most people won’t get (but hopefully somebody will). Like one of my new e-mail addresses has the words "roast my toast" in the name. It’s funny ’cause nobody outside of X-E readers will get the joke (and it’s even obscure for X-Eers), but if somebody does get it, I bet they’ll laugh.

Ghosted by Gozer @ 09/29/2005 11:44 PM EDT

In no particular order

1) Any music with Les Claypool (bassist for Primus). This man is a genius, especially Colnel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains. Mmmmmmmmm.

2) Stuff that tastes bad. Yea… there is something un about tasting the grossest crap in the world.

3) Popping Zits

4) Late eighties/early nineties party rap

5) Dill Pickle chips.

2.frozen blue berries

3. The smell of toy slime.

4. The Neverhood soundtrack

5. Strawberry soda.

Matt, Sorry if my posting that link put a dent in your bandwidth. In the future I will refrain from those sorts of link hijinks.

Ghosted by Jeff @ 09/30/2005 1:46 AM EDT

4. Ketchup on potato chips.

You too, kidneyboy?! Wow, I thought I was the only one…

1. The smell of my own farts.
2. Eating bags of candy corn at one time.
3. Being cold.
4. Reading instrucion booklets for electronics and toys I’ve just bought.
5. Putting insane amounts of Ketchup (Katsup?) on processed meat products or anything potato based.
(Most frequently heard comment when eating, "Hey, you want some hashbrown with that ketchup?" A-wholes.)

I like this survey.

Ghosted by Mad Cow @ 09/30/2005 3:51 AM EDT

Went to see the midnight showing of Serenity. I thought it was pretty good but I’m not sure it will appeal to those who haven’t seen the show Firefly. Although I had only seen the pilot episode I was still able to follow the movie and the humor. Its defnitely worth seeing but I’m really curious to know what someone who hasn’t seen any episodes of Firefly thinks of it.

1.circus peanuts
2.Rip Taylor(shabooey!)

1. America. I live in England and there is a general snot nosed attitude towards America over here. I love the place. New York is the finest city in the world.

2. The Adventures of Pete & Pete/ Invader Zim/ Pee Wee’s Playhouse. I love quirky kids programmes. My friends stick to ‘quality’ PBS style TV. Their loss.

3. Really bad weather.

4. Godzilla Movies.

5. Anything Wintergreen flavoured. Mmmm….wintergreen

4. The old computer’s internet dial-up sound.
5. The taste of my own blood.

Ghosted by me @ 09/30/2005 7:24 AM EDT

Invader Zim is the greatest television show ever devised by a Canadian. Back in high school (after the show was cancelled but before there were DVDs available) my friends and I downloaded all the episodes and watched them all in an insane marathon of DOOM. It ended up taking about fourteen hours, and finished up at around 8 AM.
I’ve repeatedly attempted to drag my college friends into the fold. The attempts invariably end with me standing next to the television, gesturing at the end credits going, "Eh? Eh?" while my friends look at me like I’m a retard.
Conclusion: I had much better friends in high school.

Matt, I’m a huge fan of the ghosts – I was thrilled to death when I saw them! The "Fuck yeah!" was sooo great! I laughed so hard I had tears.

5 things:
1. going over railroad tracks when/if I’m carsick – it makes me feel better.
2. vegan food
3. cleaning/organizing
4. neopets
5. spending as much time as I possibly can, physically alone. (Ok, that wouldn’t include a boyfriend if I had one, though )
