Things most love that I don’t
Caesar’s Bath
Behold, the Caesar’s Bath meme! List five things that people in your circle of friends or peer group are wild about, but you can’t really understand the fuss over. To use the words of Caesar (from History of the World Part I), "Nice. Nice. Not thrilling . . . but nice."
A fellow blogger introduced me to this "exercise" for my current post. Create a list of five things which are popular among your friends or peers but not popular with you. This is pretty hard to do…
—————————————–
1) blue grass. not all of my friends, but an alarming and growing contingent of them insist on listening to this music (Madam’s Organ? urghhh…)
2) The Beatles. I haven’t ever liked them.
3) Columbia Heights. Again, not all of my friends are raving, but several loud proponents make me thing I’m a freak for never wanting to visit this hood nor frequent it’s bar (yes, bar–singular) Wonderland Bar.
4) Most of the crap on Network television. With shows like Everybody Loves Raymond, American Idol, The Apprentice, The Bachellor, The OC, it’s no wonder I boycotted TV until I got Cable!
5) Bullshit networking Happy Hours. Gay or straight. Democratic or non-partisan. Why can’t there just be happy hour drink specials @ Bars in liberal neighborhoods where on any day and any hour you can expect liberals to be there? Does it have to be sanctioned by a party, organization, etc., lame. Isn’t this a progressive city? Fuck Georgetown and the Hill.

1) Studying. Whatever! All these medical students that study all the time really piss me off. All you need is 70 to pass. WTF?
2) People who don’t like the Beatles? I mean WTF? ; 0
3) Good Credit. Remember, having bad credit means you are less likely to be a victim of identity theft - and really bad credit almost guarantees it!
4) National ID cards. What rights are you afraid of losing that you haven’t lost already? (you have no idea what they know…and you don’t want to…) We already have two REALLY REALLY stupid national ID cards: the SSC and the Driver’s Licence. Why not have one that meand something? ANYTHING!
5) Washington DC. I mean WTF? No guns? Highest crime rates ever? I mean WTF?
**hee hee*

Wow. That was semi-confusing. Are you sure you don’t hate washington DC? and what do you mean NO GUNS? and what do you mean HIGHEST CRIME RATE? You’re going to call us a dangerous city just because we have a couple of interns a year get abducted from time to time, crazy pop-and-son serial killing snipers, dozens of muggings/thefts/assaults on a daily basis… sheesh. You’d think you’ve got a personal bias against this city!

If you want to find a bar full of liberals and only liberals, move to San Francisco. You might even meet a couple of really macho men named Lavendar and Bruce.
