5 things, in no particular order:

1. Cranberry sauce from the can (jelled type)

2. A Christmas Story (Ralphie!!)

3. The smell of the road after the rain.

4. The new lays, dill pickle flavored chips

5. The discovery channel

5 things:

1. plain cream cheese on hotdogs (only certain hotdogs)
2. ketchup on grilled cheese sandwiches
3. cold hot-chocolate
4. rocket power
5. exteme cold

i don’t know if this is actually liking something, but every other sentence out of my mouth pertains to punching something in the face (mostly completely inanimate objects and stuff like "work"). also, i love ketchup on mac and cheese.

1) (maybe not totally unliked, but not well recieved either out side of the area) Traditional Folk Music from Newfoundland and the Maritimes

2)CPAC (The Canadian Government Channel)

3)Watching the news coverage of Election results

4)Stopping at every museum I can get to on a trip, or in my hometown (Did you know there’s a contraceptives museum in Toronto?)

5)The Smell of Lumber and Lumber stores.

I didn’t realize that people don’t like dill potato chips. I love them. OK, I’ll give this a try…

1. The stuff on old videotapes that wasn’t what I was trying to tape originally (commercials, network promos, the beginning of the 11:00 news before the timer ran out…I’ll fast forward through the shows to get to that stuff.)

2. The Miss Virginia Pageant. It’s got that cheesy, local TV quality. Everytime I try to show it to anyone, even when I fast forward to the funniest, extra-cheesy bits, they act like I’m killing them slowly.

3. Deviled Ham sandwiches with mustard.

4. Soft Rock. I blame it on my parents for listening to it when I was a kid, thus giving it a nostalgic quality for me. I love being able to sing with every song.

5. Christmas shopping.

Bonus: Nerdy guys. I was always attracted to them. I married a Star Wars-loving, Heroquest-playing, hatchback-driving computer programmer and I’d take him over a beefcake any day.

Ghosted by Lori @ 09/30/2005 10:36 AM EDT

Matt- the blog link on the ghost w/ most page goes someplace else

1-bitterly cold weather (I pretty much hate hot weather)
2-radio and tv countdowns, even if I hate the music/topic
3-Ronald Reagan
4-long road trips through the middle of nowhere (in cars and on trains too)
5-Cassette Tapes

Squee, I totally read that comic every day. Not cause I enjoys it (I don’t hate it). More for the way it always makes me wonder, WTF?! Why is she just lying down across 3 frames? or whatever random position she has put herself into.

Ghosted by kb @ 09/30/2005 10:39 AM EDT

1. Traditional folk music
2. Pepto-Bismol (it tastes like those pink chalky candies.. yum)
3. Theology
4. Renaissance Fairs
5. Renting documentaries from the library

So, uh, Ryane, you wouldn’t happen to be around age 24 and live in Boston, would you?

WHAT? She said she likes vegan food and that she has no boyfriend! I’m not sketchy… just painfully single.

Ghosted by Vegan Mike @ 09/30/2005 10:44 AM EDT

1. Listening to soothing people talk, like Bob Ross or sewing ladies on PBS.

2. All the Christmas specials and Christmas themed Golden Books, I have dozens, they bring me holiday cheer

3. Counting down till Holiday season starting in the middle of summer

4. The smell of dead leaves

5. Finding a big glob of earwax on the Q-tip even though you clean your ears everyday

Ghosted by Funky Boo Berry the 70's Ghost @ 09/30/2005 11:00 AM EDT

1. Degrassi, including the new series
2. "We Built This City" by Starship
3. Natto (google it if you don’t know. I think it tastes great)
4. Grammar, and those who are ridiculously strict about it
5. Bad jokes. Bad puns, jokes in poor taste, jokes at the wrong time, and the whole nine yards.

And a whole lot of other bad movies and TV shows and music… geez… I must have *something* weirder than those 5… oh well

Ghosted by Vegan Mike @ 09/30/2005 11:03 AM EDT

1) the smell of skunks
2) mom’s stuffed chicken dinner with mashed taters and stuffin’

6)not following rules
7)smell of scotch tape
8)smell of a fresh box of crayola crayons

Ghosted by gerv @ 09/30/2005 12:10 PM EDT

As per usual, pulled out of my head like a magic trick gone horribly trippy:

3. Ren’s "You like what I like" speech from "Space Madness."

1. Keeping track of Barbie’s standing on the toy market. (a good barometer of the industry in general) Whoever decided that all her material possessions be pink should be shot.

Q. Collecting various "Famiclone" all-in-one games. I just really dig those NES pirate systems.

?. The version of the Dunken Scotsman joke that is sung. That’s the best way to tell it.

. Just being strange in general. "Why do you have to be so weird?" they ask. "Why aren’t you being weird?" I reply.

I also have the Game Boy Godzilla game. One of the best puzzle-type games I own.
I also like you, and you, and you, maybe you, I’m not sure about you. and I might marry you, if it wasn’t for the way your dog looks at the computer. And you? I tolerate you.

1. lima beans
2. Viscera
3. obscure NES games that everyone hated, but i loved! (Shatterhand, Werewolf, etc.)

that’s all i’ve got.

Ghosted by Review the World @ 09/30/2005 12:22 PM EDT

1. Holiday Spice Pepsi – I believe I’ve made my feelings known on this before

2. Christopher Lloyd – Mostly because of "Doc" from Back to the Future (I even sent him a letter to get an autograph when I was in the 6th Grade, and he actually sent me one!)

3. The color grey – so blah, but so appropriate most of the time

4. The Detroit Lions – they suck, but I will still cheer for them until I die.

5. The Worst Witch – seriously one of my all time favorites, no words to describe the sheer joy Tim Curry’s "music video" brings to me

Ghosted by Mr. Boligarky @ 09/30/2005 12:26 PM EDT

wait wait wait, who doesn’t Christopher Lloyd?

Ghosted by big jerm @ 09/30/2005 12:49 PM EDT

Wow, too many people wrote what I’d put on my list so it was a real challenge to find 5 things I haven’t seen on this thread yet.

1. Detroit Tigers (i’m not from MI & i don’t love sports)
2. Mixed Nuts (the movie)
3. Leftover Cold Pancakes without syrup or butter and eaten with my hands like they’re big giant cookies
4. Movies/Music/TV older than me
5. Reference Books

Ghosted by Carri @ 09/30/2005 1:18 PM EDT

RewolfJ- I love Titus! I’m still the only person I know in real life to have watched and enjoyed the show (outside of my parents). No one else knows what I’m talking about when I mention that. Lame!

And I also do the ketchup on potato chips thing… and mashed potatoes! I like to mix in the ketchup until the potatoes turn orange.

Ghosted by Rainbowfeet @ 09/30/2005 1:27 PM EDT

Heh kb you made me smile. I think of those as "filler strips" and they are usually my least favs. I prefer when they’re making erudite references that go over my head.
Kyle’s prediliction for eating stuff off the floor is still sending me into paroxyms of germaphobia. I bet you’re either sick all the time, or never at all.
Some of y’all are reminding me about how even after my spectacular failure as a veggie I still preferred Morningstar fake’n bacon to the real stuff (not anymore though). I also recommend Soyrizo for people that like chorizo but are put off by the whole "eating salivary glands" bit.

Ghosted by squee4242 @ 09/30/2005 2:11 PM EDT

LuLu –I get the tape thing! Scotch tape (3M) smells like pineapple to me.

Okay. My list.

1. Forget the fragments I just typed. I DIG GRAMMAR. I particularly like obscure rules about seldom-used punctuation marks, like the Herald of Lists, the Colon.

2. Etymologies. I think the only reason I stay in grad school is to have access to the OED online through the university’s subscription. (Did you know…’baby-daddy’ dates from the 1970s, in the Caribbean…?)

3. I love hating Andie McDowell with a fiery passion. I think she’s beautiful, and I love her voice. I just don’t find her believeable as a person, much less a person who colours her hair, much less a character in a movie. She’s a black hole of good acting, draining the light out of other actors’ performances. [interrupt rant to continue with the list]

4. Being sick. I like the attention when folks tell me to go home or to take it easy. I like the lack of attention as I spend days in bed. And fever-induced delirium fucking RULZ.

5. Smelling my kitties’ breath when they yawn. Other folks don’t so much like my kitties’ breath.

Ghosted by Lisa Marie @ 09/30/2005 2:14 PM EDT

Lisa Marie,
Way back in one of my first postings to the site, I mentioned the amazing experience I had listenng to Pink Floyd’s "The Wall" while in bed with a high fever. I recommend it to anyone who, like me, isn’t into the whole recreational drug thing. Buy youself some concept albums for your next bout of the Plague. You think Lazer Zepplin is cool? Try some Fever Floyd, man!

Ghosted by kingklash @ 09/30/2005 3:22 PM EDT

1. Tums(the chalky kind, not that "smooth" crap)
2. The Gate
3. Super Mario Bros: The movie
4. Really heavy rain
5. I can’t think of another thing right now.

1. Tums(the chalky kind, not that "smooth" crap)
2. The Gate
3. Super Mario Bros: The movie
4. Really heavy rain
5. Oh yeah. Turning my air conditioner to full blast and then piling all my blankets on top of me.

Ghosted by Tom No Like @ 09/30/2005 3:36 PM EDT

I also like the following

1. G.I. Joe cartoons
2. Horror themed TV shows like Tales from the Darkside and Monsters
3. The smell on the top of my dogs snout (he doesn’t stink it just smells like him)
4. Having a token classic rock friend who has a moustache and big orange sunglasses and a T-shirt that says "Free Moustache Rides"
5. Having fans and air conditioning blowing on me (on airplanes I turn everyones air jets to me before they sit down)

Ghosted by Funky Boo Berry the 70's Ghost @ 09/30/2005 3:47 PM EDT

1. Chewing the cheap metal chains costume jewlery is made with.

2. Neil Diamond

3. The smell of plastic halloween costumes in a box from the drug store.

4. Teaching incredibly inexperienced PC users.

5. Not bathing for the whole weekend when I go camping.

Additionally, I just want to say, I love about half of the things everybody else has posted. The smell of scotch tape? I never would have though of that, but I DO love that.

Boston X-Ers: Friday The 13th Part III in 3-D (Fri-Sat Oct 28-29 at Coolidge Corner)

Ghosted by ME @ 09/30/2005 4:02 PM EDT

1. The kind of thunder that is so loud it could possibly give one a heart attack. I love getting that jolt, it’s such a rush.

2. Shitty NES games like "Friday the 13th" and "Adventures in the Magic Kingdom."

3. Old movies from the ’20s, ’30s, ’40s, etc. (In terms of the age demographic I’m in, this is unusual.)

4. God, I can’t believe I’m gonna admit this, but I thought "Freddy Got Fingered" was pretty funny.

5. The overcommercialization of Halloween and Christmas, which I can enjoy from a distance in a ironic way. If I worked in a mall or something, I’d probably blow my brains out once the seasons arrived.

Ghosted by Monte @ 09/30/2005 4:41 PM EDT

1. The Nintendo Comics (I have about 10 of them total)

2. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, all the way up to the "Turbo" part. "Turbo" was the beginning of the end.

3. Robot Jox (HOLY CRAP IT’S COMING OUT ON DVD TUESDAY!)

4. Keebler Anise-flavored Holiday cookies

5. Rad (NEEDS TO BE ON DVD DAMNIT!)

Ghosted by Cannedpasta @ 09/30/2005 4:46 PM EDT

Holy crap, I loved "Robot Jox" when I was a kid. A PG-rated kids’ flick (at least I think it’s for kids) with naked girls and chainsaws built into robot crotches. There’s a true classic right there.

Ghosted by Monte @ 09/30/2005 4:52 PM EDT

1. Angel hair pasta with ketchup and lots of black pepper
2.any and every show about strange creatures/animals

5.the movie "What a Way to GO!" with Shirley Maclaine, something about combining a musical with the various deaths of this woman’s husband keeps me comin back for more. Musical death, t’aint nothin’ better

Ghosted by bloodybrilliantme @ 09/30/2005 5:03 PM EDT

1. Being put on hold (as long as the music is good); 2. the smell of blank video cassettes (I was in heaven every time I had to go to the tape library at my internship); 3. D-TV (those old Disney music videos); 4. The Michael McDonald concert from PBS (my boyfriend and I saw "40 Year Old Virgin", and when they showed that concert in the movie, my boyfriend leaned over and said "didn’t we watch that on TV?" the guy behind us cracked up!); 5. Freddie Prinze Jr. movies (I own them all-I bought them between the time I was 18 and 20)

Jeff, I’m a HUGE Quantum Leap fan!!!!! Vegan Mike, my boyfriend and I listen to "We Built This City" every now and then.

My boyfriend says I’m every guy’s dream b/c I watch "Knightrider" reruns. And not for David Hassellhoff!

Ghosted by Allison @ 09/30/2005 5:06 PM EDT

I also own both boxed sets of "Laugh In" DVDs, and own "Freaks and Geeks," a show not many have heard of. Also, another thing (rather person) that I like that not alot of people I know do is Dennis Miller!! Give the guy some credit! He’s still really funny!

Oh, I don’t know if most people would like or not like this, but I’m having a blast watching Adam Carolla absolutely bomb every night on his new show. When was the last time not one person in a show’s audience laughed for 99% of the runtime? SNL?

It’s amazing to watch.

1. Driving an old desiel Mercedes. I’ve been driving nothing but old desiel Mercedes since I could drive and almost can’t imagine driving anything else.

2. Having a desk job. Most people are scared of having to go to the same job for 8 hours every week day. Not me. I love it.

3. Smooth jazz. My dad listened to it and so that’s what I grew up with. I still listen to it sometimes, but not when anyone else is around.

4. Going grocery shopping. It’s something I do for fun. Finding fun new foods to try and flirting with the bag boy. Who wouldn’t want to do that 3 or 4 times a week?

5. Plucking my eyebrows. Okay, this one might border on a disorder. It relaxes me. What can I say? It’s just weird.

Oh I just remember a show I loved but not many others did: Mad Mad House. Apparently Fox Reality is showing repeats but I don’t get that channel. So perfect for the season…I miss Vampiro Don.
Funky Boo, I’m sorry but I can’t possibly imagine that anyone wouldn’t be thrilled by your latest #4. All you people putting ketchup on noodles are nasty, though.

Ghosted by CotterP @ 09/30/2005 7:20 PM EDT

Squee -

I’m almost never sick. Want further detail on what’s come to be known as "The Gummi Worm incident?" Well alright then. It started with an argument my girlfriend and I were having on the merits of Gummi Worms vs. Gummi Bears (Bears take the cake, in my book). Anyway, she tried to spit a Worm into my mouth, but I avoided it, and it ended up on the floor. About 20 minutes later, I leaned over and picked it up (mouth-wise) and started swinging it at her face. She burst into laughter, so I thought, "I’ll go with it."
I stood over her and let it fall from my mouth into her hair. She threw it against the wall, and of course it ended up in my mouth again. At this point I decided to spit it onto/into anything I could find: her hair (again), her shoes (just removed after a day at the short-order restaurant – yuck), her DOG (okay now I’m realizing how bad this all is). After a while she got disgusted (more like 30 seconds) and told me to go spit it in the trash. I left the room and came back with the Worm cleverly concealed behind my ear. I said "KISS!" and she said no. So I went into the bathroom and Scoped for about 5 minutes, came back (Worm still hidden), and asked for a kiss again. She puckered up and closed her eyes, at which point I slipped the Worm (at this point turning black and covered in hair) halfway in my mouth. She must have smelled it because she opened her eyes with moments to spare. I started cracking up and she pulled it out of my mouth (hand-wise) and threw it away at the bottom of a mostly-full trash can.
I can’t believe she didn’t break up with me. Ah, love.

Ghosted by Kyle @ 09/30/2005 7:28 PM EDT

Okay, I need to clarify something. Other than this habit, I’m obsessed with cleanliness – I am constantly washing my hands, brushing my teeth, etc. My room is immaculate. I don’t know why I do this, but it seems to slip past my filters. Oh well.

Ghosted by Kyle @ 09/30/2005 7:31 PM EDT

2. Magic Cards (the card game)

3. Radiohead (used to be a loved band)

4. Escargot

5. Watching movies on TV (ones that I own on DVD but never watch, they seem better when you happen to catch them on TV)
