• Sourdough bread - If I'm not in the mood for something as simple and delicious as bread, I'll have something else that tastes good, not bread that tastes bad.
• Adam Sandler - Am I missing the clever? In my world, saying silly things in a baby voice is the opposite of funny. But it must be a generational thing, because perfectly reasonable people I know who are a decade or so younger than me think he's hilarious.
• Juic
y Couture - I suppose there are people who will be impressed that you spent $158 on a little girl's hoodie. Don't count me among them.• Men who wax - I support a man's desire to be as metrosexual as he pleases out there in the big, bad world. But in my bed, where there's only room for one girly type, body hair=masculine and vanity=feminine. I'll take my man hairy and unselfconscious, please.
• Dental bling - I'm still trying to figure this one out. I guess nose-piercing isn't ugly enough?
• "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" - I'm not alone here, right? I have to assume that anyone who's smart enough to put on their own pants doesn't find this song amusing.
• Hummers - The automobile. What did you think I meant?
• Mad Men - I'm as enamored of the golden age of advertising as I am fascinated by the cultural differences between the 1960s and our PC times. So I should love this show. Indeed, I want to love this show. But it's so underwritten I feel like whacking the writers over the head with a rolled up script. Damn it, people, it's your job to decide how the characters feel. Otherwise you just leave the actors standing there looking inscrutable, which is not a substitute for writing.
• White Chocolate - This is not chocolate. This is what's left over when you extract the chocolate from chocolate. It's kind of like selling sugar water and marketing it as clear orange juice.

I am with you on everything except for: Mad Men (LURVE IT!), sourdough bread (love it!), and white chocolate (really like it).
I must say..I am late to Mad Men (now watching all back episodes via Netflix), but I absolutely love it! My husband and I make a night of it, ever time we get a disc. I just finished the first season, so maybe it gets bad, but right now I am enamored.
Ellen, with the pathetic exception of Adam Sandler, I'm so with you on these things. I'm to the point that I get angry over white chocolate, as it is NOT chocolate and it's just... awful.
And I believe you are the first person to vocalize a non-love for "Mad Men" and it made me feel like I should look around nervously and then stand up, feeling liberated by you, and say, "ME TOO!"
Myf ... I'll give you Mad Men, as Susan DiPlacido and I seem to be the only two people on planet Earth who can't get into it. But sourdough bread? Every once in a while I try it again and ugh! It tastes TERRIBLE. I seriously don't get it. :)
AA ... If you love it, go with it!
Susan ... Sistah! So glad I'm not alone on the Mad Men thing.
