I like smokin' me some grass
Gettin' cut with glass
Sniffin' my cocaine
and pain

I like noses full of snot
Dead things when they rot
Belchin' just for fun
and scum

And I like you, too

I like smackin' little boys
Breakin' all their toys
Needles in my arm
and harm

I like spearin' little dogs
Eatin' little frogs
Screamin' in the night
and fright

And I like you, too

I like knuckles when they pop
Screamin' at a cop
Bugs around my ears
and tears

I like steppin' on a nail
Spittin' in a pail
Cookin' me a rat
and bats

And I like you, too

I like lizards in the grass
Smelling' raunchy gas
Slippin' on some ice
and lice

I like catchin' me the flu
Snails in a stew
Armpits when they're wet
and sweat

And I like you, too

I like chancres on my tongue
Sniffin' monkey dung
Scumbags of all sorts
and warts

I like barfin' on nice rugs
Chewin' little slugs
Leeches suckin' blood
and mud

And I like you, too


I like layin' in the sewer
Walkin' in manure
Coughin' up some glops
and slops

I like beatin' up some punks
Odor from some skunks
Smellin' garbage burn
and worms

And I like you, too!!!!

Quit screwing with my mind!!

When I was in JrHS and working in Summer Break, I would have a Dr. Pepper and a Hostess Cherry Pie every single day.  I never got tired of it and would, if I could, have it for lunch every day today.

Ummm guys, I was talking about products not people (as nice as your comments are).  I wanted suggestions of new things to try.   :-)
A Greek food festival. There was a Greek Orthodox Church near me in Phoenix, and every October they held a festival...the food was wonderful. You could buy (it was a fundraiser) tidbits to taste for a nickel or whole dinners, or assemble a dinner yourself.
A whole lamb was roasting on a spit.
BEG, it was heaven. I counted the days till it would come up each year. 

Do you plan on going to Disney World this year? In the Polynesian hotel there is a restaurant called O'Hannah's.  $30 a head, all you can eat. The food is brought to your table. Skewers of steak, pork, turkey, or sausage all roasted over an open fire, take as much or as little as you want. The side dishes are legion, and good!
BUT.
The greatest thing is desert! Hear me out on this. Its bread pudding, vanilla ice cream and a banana sauce. take a bite with a bit of each on your fork..heaven!
I ate TWO.
Seriously. Take the husband, but don't plan on doing anything else that night. let him waddle back to the hotel and digest.
This is the greatest restaurant...EVER!

Ruth Crist's Steak House. meals start at $60. Just you and hubby, make it a date. You will NOT be disappointed.

I don't know where you live. but if you have never been to the Grand Canyon, fly to Phoenix, and RENT a car. On the way up at Clarkdale. It;s the main entry for a revived ghost town: Jerome.
--> Jerome is built on the side of a hill, and was undermined. The town is sliding down the mountainside. The turn of the century ruins are all twisted and bizarre. The city Jail is the fastest of all, its moving about a foot a year. The town is an artists colony, and the people live on safe ground, but their house are all on stilts-even the driveways...Lots of shopping, lots of cheap souvenirs.

The Canyon is cool. Need to see it once in your life. On the way up from Flagstaff check out Watputki Indian ruins. Castle like structures. Cool.
At the canyon, drive to the Indian reservation land (the main park road will take you there). They have a tourist trap that is way cool, and sports a GLASS walkway over the canyon itself!

That sounds good, but it doesn't come close to Texas de Brazil and other Churrascarias -- the salad bar alone is killer!

The ideal Dr Pepper float:
Place 3 large scoops of BlueBelle homemade vanilla ice cream into a tall glass which has been kept in the freezer.
Slowly pour a cold Dr Pepper from a glass bottle (also extremely cold) over the ice cream.
Enjoy with a long-handled spoon.
Heh.

Old garden roses ordered from here: http://www.amityheritageroses.com/index.html

Lavender from here: http://www.goodwincreekgardens.com/

I probably have more roses (especially Bourbon, Damask, and China...and, of course, David Austin) and lavender than anything else. Well maybe phlox, nothing beats the smell of phlox, except, of course, roses and lavendar.

and medicinal herb plants ordered from here: http://www.crimson-sage.com/

Oh, one last thing...guess I just love life

My weight bench, weights and workout DVD's. I can't drive 40 miles in each direction to go to the gym every day (Cottage Grove has Curves but I like something more intense and longer duration) so I rotate through a few different weight routines from muscleandstrength.com (they have a great message board with very helpful people)

For Cardio I absolutely LOVE Turbo Jam (I ordered mine from ebay)...especially Cardio Party Mix 2 & 3. It's an interval training workout that combines kickboxing, dance, and Capoeira. I'm completely addicted to Turbo. My 2nd favorite is Carmen Electra's Aerobic Strip Tease. My husband bought it for me for Christmas and it actually has some really fun workouts. It's a 5 volume set and most of it is dance/toning routines. I didn't play them for the longest time but it's really fun and not nasty or embarassing (no one takes off their clothes, though you do learn HOW to...think Demi Moore in Striptease). I also like Hip Hop Abs and Yoga Booty Ballet. The Yoga is a little moonbatty but it's a great stretch and the hip hop routine is fun, though not as intense as Turbo Jam.

You probably have more stuff to try than you imagined! I used to love those Neco candies...wonder if you can still get them anywhere. I've always been curious about where people spend their other online hours...I mean outside of politics. I bet there are people here with interests that would be surprising. Guess I should start a thread about it.

I keep reading this thread and trying to come up an answer. There are too many things I love!!!!! Seriously, my list would be really long! Apparently, I would not do well in the pioneer days lol.
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

The first house my parents bought in 1973 had no central air. They didn't buy a window unit until I was in the third grade. Not a big deal at the time, but that really freaks me out now lol.

I never lived with air conditioning until I moved out of my parent's house.  My mother could not tolerate refrigerated air.  We had a big evaporative cooler and an attic fan.  I don't remember ever being miserable.  In fact, I would freeze when I stayed over with a friend who had a/c. 

My parent's house was built in 1948.  It was designed before a/c became the norm.  It had lots of windows and big shade trees.  The attic fan could suck in a hurricane.

When I started this thread I had a ton of things in mind but only could come up with a few things.  Everyone else did a lot better than I did coming up with stuff.

I'll add a couple more:

Grundig FR200 Emergency Radio:  My father-in-law gave it to us one christmas and I use it every day to listen to talk radio.  I carry it around from my bathroom to my computer room.  I could just turn on our stereo or listen on my computer (which I do sometimes) but I find myself using this radio all the time.

My New iMac:  Although it was hard to switch from PC to Mac, I'm getting the hang of it.

Coke: I'm down to one a day, I use to drink it all the time.

Novocaine:  I had crown prep work done on two teeth two weeks ago then yesterday I had the permanent crowns put on.  Yesterday I also had an old crown taken off and prep for a new crown (which I will have to come back in two weeks for the perm crown) and then I had an old silver amalgam filling taken out and a composite filling in it's place.  I now have no silver in my mouth (my crowns are metal free as well).  Anyway, yesterday when they started taking the old crown off I almost came up out of my chair, I could feel EVERYTHING.  He then gave me more novocaine and I could STILL feel it.  He shot me up several more times, I could tell he went really deep.  Finally I couldn't feel anything but man, what would we do with out Novocaine?  I bet everyones teeth would end up falling out of their heads because no one would go to the dentist.  

Baby Birds:  We have two in our bush that just hatched.  Look I just took a picture to show you all.   :-)

Things I love (I'll try to keep it basic, but as DixieBelle said, there are too many things I love  :-) )

Quaker Chewy Bars (chocolate chip granola. YUM)

Cherry Coke

SanDisk Cruzer 2 GB Flashdrive

V8 VFusion Peach Mango Light (I grabbed the Light version by accident instead of the regular, but it is absolutely fantastic)

Microsoft Zune 80 GB mp3 player

Aleve (does a good job when my headaches get bad.   kills the headache for 8 hours, and it really helps when I'm working. )

The Healing Garden Calming Lavender Mineral Bath Soak  http://www.healinggarden.com/bot_lav_bathsoak.html
(This tends to be a very hard to find product, at least where I live).
