09/29/2005 Entry: "The "What Do You Dig?" Survey."

What happens when you're toasted and armed with markers? More Ghost With The Most comics.

Survey: Name five things you enjoy that most other people don't. And let's refrain from hilarious gag entries. Play it straight and she'll be your date.

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.

Chestnuts roasted by kidneyboy @ 09/29/2005 09:54 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 09/29/2005 09:56 PM EST

1) Boards of Canada

2) Christmas Catalogues

3) Libraries

4) Elevators

5) The smell of woodstoves

Chestnuts roasted by Jeff Mack @ 09/29/2005 10:04 PM EST

1. Coconut
2. PBS evening programming
3. Type-O-Negative
4. Driving a car with a broken radio (because it forces me to sing)
5. Solitude

Chestnuts roasted by The Yeti @ 09/29/2005 10:06 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Jedoc @ 09/29/2005 10:10 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Road Block @ 09/29/2005 10:11 PM EST

I. Burnt popcorn II. Tom Goes to the Mayor III. Smoky rooms IV. Junior Senior V. Hating Coldplay

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 09/29/2005 10:14 PM EST

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).

Chestnuts roasted by Kyle @ 09/29/2005 10:18 PM EST

I LOVE hating Coldplay.

Damn, Coldplay sucks.

Chestnuts roasted by Road Block @ 09/29/2005 10:19 PM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 09/29/2005 10:23 PM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by CotterP @ 09/29/2005 10:24 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by The Wukong Effect @ 09/29/2005 10:29 PM EST

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!!

Chestnuts roasted by kidneyboy @ 09/29/2005 10:30 PM EST

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!

Chestnuts roasted by kidneyboy @ 09/29/2005 10:33 PM EST

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!

3. Picking scabs
4. Stick shift
5. Cold weather

Chestnuts roasted by Diarrhea Dave @ 09/29/2005 10:41 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Wyatt @ 09/29/2005 10:45 PM EST

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

5. classical music

Chestnuts roasted by LuLu @ 09/29/2005 10:47 PM EST

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.)

Chestnuts roasted by LuLu @ 09/29/2005 10:50 PM EST

Chestnuts roasted by ralph @ 09/29/2005 10:59 PM EST

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!

Chestnuts roasted by Jillybeann @ 09/29/2005 10:59 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 09/29/2005 11:06 PM EST

In no particular order:

1. Mappyland for NES
2. Being single
3. The smell of rubber cement
4. English food (haggis, black pudding, etc.)
5. Historical biographies (just finished "The 6 Wives of Henry VIII"

Chestnuts roasted by Jillybeann @ 09/29/2005 11:14 PM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by Mattman @ 09/29/2005 11:20 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Gozer @ 09/29/2005 11:28 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Rainbowfeet @ 09/29/2005 11:31 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Gozer @ 09/29/2005 11:44 PM EST

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.

1. Quantum Leap. It's one of my favorite shows, but all my friends hate it.

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Jeff @ 09/30/2005 01:46 AM EST

4. Ketchup on potato chips.

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

1.Llama's
2.Mary Kate Olsen

Haha..great comic. And trust me when I say that as I am an authority on cartoons and all of that other stuff. Girls..pfft..who has time for that when there is so many wonderful cartoons to review.

Chestnuts roasted by Jim Harvey @ 09/30/2005 02:57 AM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Mad Cow @ 09/30/2005 03:51 AM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 09/30/2005 04:01 AM EST

1.circus peanuts
2.Rip Taylor(shabooey!)
3."Scorch", that Alf clone starring Ron Lucas's dragon puppet.

1. Msn Messenger

5. Alien 3

Chestnuts roasted by dohopoki @ 09/30/2005 05:11 AM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by Scott @ 09/30/2005 06:18 AM EST

1. Wallowing in self pity.
2. The new garfield strips.

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

Chestnuts roasted by me @ 09/30/2005 07:24 AM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Jedoc @ 09/30/2005 08:26 AM EST

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 )

Chestnuts roasted by big jerm @ 09/30/2005 09:35 AM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by sevenism @ 09/30/2005 10:23 AM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Lori @ 09/30/2005 10:36 AM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by kb @ 09/30/2005 10:39 AM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 09/30/2005 10:41 AM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Vegan Mike @ 09/30/2005 10:44 AM EST

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

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

Chestnuts roasted by Vegan Mike @ 09/30/2005 11:03 AM EST

Chestnuts roasted by gerv @ 09/30/2005 12:10 PM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by Review the World @ 09/30/2005 12:22 PM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Boligarky @ 09/30/2005 12:26 PM EST

wait wait wait, who doesn't Christopher Lloyd?

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

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.

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.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 09/30/2005 02:11 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Lisa Marie @ 09/30/2005 02:14 PM EST

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!

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Tom No Like @ 09/30/2005 03:36 PM EST

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)

Chestnuts roasted by Funky Boo Berry the 70's Ghost @ 09/30/2005 03:47 PM EST

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)

Chestnuts roasted by ME @ 09/30/2005 04:02 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Monte @ 09/30/2005 04:41 PM EST

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!)

Chestnuts roasted by Cannedpasta @ 09/30/2005 04:46 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Monte @ 09/30/2005 04:52 PM EST

Chestnuts roasted by bloodybrilliantme @ 09/30/2005 05:03 PM EST

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!

Chestnuts roasted by Allison @ 09/30/2005 05:06 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Quammy @ 09/30/2005 05:35 PM EST

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.

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

I know, paid programming seems like crap but I love every second of it!

Chestnuts roasted by Les Paul @ 09/30/2005 07:01 PM EST

actually, one more thing. I love the band The Mars Volta. Not many people have heard of them, thats the only reason why I love them and not many others do.

Chestnuts roasted by Les Paul @ 09/30/2005 07:06 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by CotterP @ 09/30/2005 07:20 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Kyle @ 09/30/2005 07:28 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Kyle @ 09/30/2005 07:31 PM EST

Kyle, I'm going to go throw up now.

Incidentally, Gummy Cola is better than bears or worms.

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Boligarky @ 09/30/2005 07:56 PM EST

1. Infomercials (the ones they play on tv around 2-5am). So funny.

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)

Chestnuts roasted by Bro @ 09/30/2005 08:05 PM EST

1. The feeling of cleaning my ears. I cannot fathom why I enjoy this so much, I just do.

2. 80's Action Movies. You gotta love it. So totally homoerotic.

3. Shutting out friends and family to watch Boy Meets World Marathons.

4. The X-Men character Cable. All the X-nerds I know despise him for some reason. I just don't get it.

5. Hating Joss Whedon with an unending passion. Again, alot of the nerds are all up on the Whedon. I think he needs to be impaled.

Chestnuts roasted by AJ @ 09/30/2005 08:56 PM EST

Yeah, I've had enough of that Whedon guy myself.

Chestnuts roasted by Kyle @ 09/30/2005 09:09 PM EST

1. Jeanette MacDonald/Nelson Eddy movie operettas. To everyone else, they're the height of decadent, semi-operatic cheese. To me, they're romantic, have great music, and Eddy is hot.

2.Remember WENN, a wonderful but short-lived dramady that appeared on American Movie Classics from 1996 to 1998. It involved the wacky and exciting adventures of a small-time radio station in Pittsburgh in the late 30s and early 40s. AMC lost respect for it when it's management changed hands and cut the run short, but before that happened, it had some of the most brilliant comedy ever on TV, with plot twists that would make the "Housewives"' mouths drop in shock.

3. Musicals period. I'm a HUGE musical fan. New musicals, old musicals, Broadway musicals, British musicals, movie musicals. I know a lot of people think they're corny, but I don't see anything wrong with singing in the rain or trying to produce a flop and get a hit. And I'm not just talking "Moulin Rouge" or "Chicago," either - I have movie musicals on tape that go back to 1929, and my oldest cast album dates to the mid-40s.

4. Rainy days. Rainy days are fun; you can go and splash in puddles in warm rain, and sit inside, watch movies, play games, and read mysteries in cold rain.

5. Cartoons for preschoolers. I'm a huge fan of "Blue's Clues" and "Dora the Explorer"...and I have no kids of my own. I think I just get a kick out of the interaction...and I now know how to say "star" in Spanish ("estrella" - such a pretty word).

Chestnuts roasted by starwenn @ 09/30/2005 09:24 PM EST

1. I love putting doritoes on my cream cheese bagel. Gives it some crunch!
2. Lima beans. Don't know why, just do!
3. Hot lunch. I'm a teacher, and I get so psyched over the menu each day....sad, eh?
4. Singing along to 40's music in the car. I have one lone preset to a standards am station...I can only do it when I'm driving alone though.
5.Pop-up video. That was the coolest show.

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 09/30/2005 11:16 PM EST

Am I the third vegan to post on this subject? Wacky.

Well, since so many of the things I was planning on writing have been listed as unusual things that people other than myself like, I guess I'll try to get a bit more original. By the way, no order is implied by the listing according to the numbers one through five.

1. Taking ridiculously long walks at night.

2. Philosophical conversations in untraditional circumstances (as a recent example, sitting inside for some philisophy talk during a loud and energetic pool party)

3. The Bald Soprano

4. Microserfs

5. Making reference to popular and unpopular culture without the intent of being understood.

Ugh. Five is a tough number. Mondo-bodacious topic, though.

Chestnuts roasted by Vegan Mike @ 09/30/2005 11:28 PM EST

Ryane, I spent 4 years as a student in Baltimore... and met very few vegans... I'm pretty hopeful about Maryland for med school, though... that would make 2 vegan X-E readers in the state, at the very least!

Chestnuts roasted by Vegan Mike @ 09/30/2005 11:32 PM EST

I can't believe other people like the smell of Scotch tape, too!!

And SPACE CASES! The #1 show ever on Nickelodeon. I have about 20 episodes on VHS, and I was just watching them the other day thinking, "They just don't make shows like this anymore."

X-Entertainment, you are my home.

I'm LOVING Too Late w/Adam Carolla too. That's what happens on a show that's 98% improvised.

Update: Still no Frankenberry or Boo Berry found around here on Lomg island. Would love some new info...

I also tried my Scary Berry Lemonade & Caramel Corn sodas. I was right about SBL being exactl like the regular Berry Lemonade, which I love. The Caramel Apple...can I send any of you guys the last 3 cans? First you get the good carbonated Apple taste, then the powerful aftertaste of caramel. I went "ick," yet I couldn't stop drinking it...

More:

6) CNN Headline News. I like being informed

7) Jon Lovitz, he doesn't get the love he deserves. Such a brillant funny comedian, who fits the "smarmy ass" niche perfectly.

8) The Power Rangers series up 'till "In Space." It just went downhill ever since they killed off Zordon.

9) Digimon (season 2)

10) David Letterman

Loved the secret comic too. I never expected to end the day reading a comic ending with Penis Man and the cloud turtle having a face-off. Wow. Or was that from Family Circus? I always get the Ghost With The Most and Family Circus confused.

Soooo, after the last half hour of a walking Christopher Reeve in Village of the Damned (damned good movie too, I like it) I will be pumped (full of booze) for Dennis Quaid and Lou Gosset Jr. Wait, were'nt they also in Enemy Mine together?

5. Making sure i spell words correctly.
6. According to this list, i enjoy being mentally ill.

Chestnuts roasted by Bitchick @ 10/01/2005 05:25 AM EST

Weird thigs I like:

1) TV series finales. I'll watch the last episode of a show even if it's one I never watched before. Can't explain why...

2) Sricha (sp?), AKA, "cock sauce" or "rooster sauce." It's a hot sauce that's usually sold in the Asian foods secton of grocery stores. It comes in a squeeze bottle, and has a picture of a cock (that's a rooster, you pervert). It's great on pizza, lasagna, stir fries, noodles, etc. I don't want to try it, but boiled grass would probably taste good with rooster sauce on it.

3) 7-Up Plus. The acesulfame potassium aftertaste ruined it for me when I first tried it, but I grew to like the stuff. Can't find it in my area anymore. (I also liked Blue Pepsi.)

4) Stopping to smell coffee beans in grocery stores. (It probably makes me look dumb, but I don't care. Anyone who doesn't stop to smell the coffee every once in a while is missing out on one of the great things in life.)

5) Cold, drizzly days and overcast skies. I HATE hot weather, and summer can't go away soon enough. Unfortunately, I live in the south, where it was 100 degrees a few days ago. I love it when it's cold, the sky is grey, and it's drizzling or misty outside. If I knew of a place where it was like that all year long, I'd consider moving there.

Chestnuts roasted by Astro Zombie @ 10/01/2005 05:31 AM EST

Jessica, yup, I know the Magic Bullet. Gotta love those get rich quick ones too. "I made $8,000 in just 2 days after purchasing your Book/CD", "Make thousands, no selling, no money up front". Or the Acne one, thats always good for a laugh. 4 easy payments always gets slashed to 2 easy payments, "only if you call in the next 10 minutes" of course. lol. "But wait, there's more!"

Chestnuts roasted by Bro @ 10/01/2005 07:33 AM EST

Astro Zombie, if you like miserable weather, Pittsburg is for you! (At least, according to my Dad.)

Chestnuts roasted by Bitchick @ 10/01/2005 08:30 AM EST

Yeah, Pittsburgh gets what - 53 sunny days/year? Something like that.

Bro - I just love the Magic Bullet because of all of those terrible character actors and their loose plot - like who is Hazel to be invited to their weirdo mid-30s-people-party?

Have you ever seen Mr. Show? I think Bob Odenkirk based his infomercial personality off the Magic Bullet guy.

Vegan Mike - Oooh, how weird that you spent so much time here and hope to again! Very cool. I'm about an hour or so away from Baltimore - up near the PA border.

I, too, have met very few Vegans. Well, actually besides my friend that got me into it (over 3 and a half years ago) I haven't met a single one in person. Kinda sad... I think it would rock to be able to hang out with/date/marry a fellow vegan.

On another subject, the ballad of Mike and Rayne. Can we skip the trip to Baltimore, or Gibraltar, or wherever we might be planning to go and just turn X-E into one of those weird mass wedding places?

Chestnuts roasted by Tougi @ 10/01/2005 10:58 AM EST

OKAY HOLY CRAP.

1. I can't believe someone other than myself (and Mr. Boligarky) eats Sriracha hot sauce. It's seriously the best hot sauce on the planet. Also, I get to say things like, "Woman, where my cock sauce at?" because of the delightful packaging art. I highly recommend this delicious food to every single person ever.

2. MAGIC BULLET! I love that commercial - I watch it all the time. In fact the other day I thought of a play that I could write that takes place between the "commercial" parts of that infomercial, in which the characters could argue with each other. "Yeah, bitch, I like curry powder with EVERYTHING!" Oh my god. And yes, I definitely thought of Terry Twillstein (Bob Odenkirk) the moment I first saw that commercial.

By the way, did anyone ever see Run Ronnie Run? Not the best movie ever but it definitely has some great lines. "The Fish Magician - disappears fish! Nobody bought it." Or, "The FABulous nickel holder! The problem with nickels is that you're always losing them! It holds one nickel!"

Chestnuts roasted by Kyle @ 10/01/2005 11:14 AM EST

Just thought I'd comment on some other people's entries:

First of all, first and second season MST3K - either brilliant (some of the best episodes came from these seasons) or horribly boring. Early MST3K was either great or awful. No, just mediocre ordinary episodes came from the early seasons.

Pearl/Bobo/Brain guy - best writing and performance during the actual movie segments, worst host segments of the entire series.

to the guy that liked old movies - me too, and that is also strange for my demographic. I also like old television series and 50's, 60's, and 70's rock and roll. When they start making decent entertainment again, I will start liking new stuff. Though I am a fan of Alias and 24.

My husband had to get Run Ronnie Run as soon as it came out, but I really haven't had the patience to sit and watch it. It kind of sucked.

The first Ronnie Dobs sketch on Mr. Show was better than the entire run ronnie run movie. Still it had some good.

Didn't Bob Odenkirk and David Cross disown the final cut of Run Ronnie Run?

Yeah, I think they did, though if you ask me it wasn't that bad. I mean, the whole Three Times One Minus One sequence was genius. Definitely not as good as anything that was on the show, but still...not terrible.

Chestnuts roasted by Kyle @ 10/01/2005 01:02 PM EST

Three Times One Minus One, I forgot about that. I'd still rather watch the show any day, especially the skit about the Monks vs. Fat Camp. "Dude, his science is too tight.."

I found both Frankenberry and Boo Berry at Super Wal-Mart, so maybe they both really are in league with Satan.

Just found the hidden comic...Holy Crap, was that awesome. Brilliant Matt, just freaking brilliant. If I ever get a TV show, I want you to write for it.

Also, I tried the last of my Jones Sodas: Strawberry S'Lime. It's JUST like their regular Strawberry Lime, which is great.

And now my ranking:

1) Scary Berry Lemonade
2) Strawberry S'Lime
3) Candy Corn
4) Caramel Apple

And now I'm off to drink all 4 cans at once and commit soda suicide. If I dont post again, you'll know what happened.

Wow, Carolla's show sure is a screamng tangent into a brick wall. I don't think he even has an in-studio audience anymore. I miss Alan Havey's show, from the early days of Comedy Central. He had a real, honest-to-gosh Audience Of One. You could actually get a ticket to be the only one-person crowd on late-night television. If you can't behave, be Havey.

I didn't even know there was a hidden comic, but I'm not very observant. Anyway, it reminds me of this great costume I saw in the adult section of our local Halloween Spirit Superstore - Tricky Dick. Anyone seen that?

Vegan Mike, Friday the 13th III will be showing the last weekend of October so you have time. They have some other interesting midnight movies before then, but I figured the F13 love is strong enough around here that people might want to work it into their schedule.

There is a new G.I. Joe cartoon on Fox.

I like picking up pamphlets that are made available at Health clinics like, "you're Healthy Colon and You" and Teen Pregnancy, Are you at risk?

Thought I'd toss in for the other Titus lovers that my fond memories are not just that....Picke dup Volume 1 (S1 & 2) on DVD this weekend, and it's still better than most comedies on TV now.

Chestnuts roasted by selvig @ 10/03/2005 08:43 AM EST

I'm a little late on this, but better late than never.

1. Uncooked ramen
2. Soymilk--especially chocolate
3. Woodchuck & Goldschlager
4. The aniseptic smell of a tattoo shop
5. The smell of New Orleans, pre-Katrina. It smelled like beer, piss, exhaust, and 100 kinds of food. It probably smelled like any other city, but to me it smelled like a gorgeous filth. Dunno what it smells like now...

5. the smell of a warm eraser (or rubber) after a fierce erasing session.
