What do you like that most people hate?

Although I haven't seen it in years, wonder if I would still like it?

Hmmm, pic no show - I'll fix that when I get home. It's "The World According to Garp". 1982 Robin Williams, Mary Beth Hurt, Glenn Close, John Lithgow, Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, etc.

Tire stores do smell great. I also love the smell of new carpet and fresh paint.

New Converse used to smell really great. I dunno about the foreign made ones.

Oh yeah, I also dig patchouli and it seems to be on a lotta people's lists of hated perfume type scents.

The smell of diesel trucks....and I finally figured out why....it reminds of being really small and going to Disneyland when the parking lot was in front of the park, and all those buses were pulling up...!!

Bagpipes!

The smell of Diesel reminds me of Disneyland too.
but not the buses, the Train that goes around the park.
when you go into a tunnel, especially where the Dioramas are.

but I don't like the smell of diesel, it makes me want to hurl.

The smell of diesel reminds me of ski school - we'd get to the slopes and have to trudge behind all the running school busses - the exhaust was overwhelming. Woof - anything made with rubber (no - not THOSE kinds of rubber) is almost an erotic scent. I got a free mousepad in the mail at work once and it had that "new tire" smell. I rolled it up and put a rubberband around it and would sniff it at work once in a while! LOL Come on guys - you KNOW you have some weird attractions like that too! Feet? Fur? Feathers? Come on! COME ON!

Yeah, I hate the sound of a distorted guitar. The entire early 90s was a wasteland when it came to guitar tone. It seemed like everyone thought that was how a guitar was supposed to sound......uggghhh!!!!

"Lost In Space","Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", the smell of gasoline (smells like TRUTH), "Buckaroo Banzai", pickles, parsley (it was designed to make you want to eat OTHER stuff; it works), Tiki Central, the day after Christmas, kids, music nerds, Nissan's Cube car, cooking, brushing my teeth, Billy the Crud (Well, not love but I think he's funny. Same thing.), cutting the grass, cross-country skiing at night the colder the better, Doris Day Anything, pre-1900 novels, my old shoes, silent Felix the Cat cartoons, Silent Movies of any kind (people REALLY hate them, ever noticed???) and small towns. Love them small towns. I always search out the small-town parts of big cities.

The real question is, what do you HATE that everybody else seems to LOVE????

I realize this is off-topic, but I had a dream the other morning and YOU were in it! Now, we've never met and I don't know what you look like, but in my dream you were driving a big black truck, had a big black dog in the back and you were tall and wearing a big black cowboy hat! How off am I? Your name here must have stuck in my brain before going to bed or something! LOL

I don't even own a television anymore. You have to pay $100 a month to get the good shows. Fuck that !!

Irwin Allen was a GENIUS !! The black and white episodes of those shows were the best.

Some of my favorite movies are silent. I'm thinking of Lon Chaney in films like "The Unknown","He Who Gets Slapped", and "West of Zanzibar". Now that's some twisted shit.

Huh, I heard that only 5 people in the world ever saw that movie. If LLT is one and I'm another, I wonder who the other 3 are ?? FYI, I wanna visit that "Kung Fu Island".

So let's see, what else do I love (that most people hate):

STATION WAGONS !!!

"So let's see, what else do I love (that most people hate):STATION WAGONS !!!"

I dig station wagons too, but so do a lotta people. Station wagons became cool a few years back. Old wagons that had gone for very little suddenly jumped in price.

Minivans, on the other hand, everyone seems to hate those. I like 'em cuz they're roomy, comfortable, useful, almost completely lacking in style, and no one thinks they're cool.

Capers

Mad cap or Mediterranean?

Imported Gourmet Non-Pareil

Smoked oysters on a Ritz......mmmmmmmm good!

Smooth jazz. (But I hate the term "smooth jazz.")

I don't like all of it, in fact there's far more of it that is utter crap than any good.

Smooth jazz is also a somewhat popular genre so it technically doesn't qualify as something "that most people hate." But it seems that most people who are serious jazz fans or who have taste or good sense hate smooth jazz.

And for the most part their hatred is well founded. The majority of smooth jazz is just glorified elevator music.***** It's unimaginative, repetitive, and aimed at a target audience which will only be drawn to music that's instantly familiar.

I'd guess most smooth jazz fans don't really pay attention to the music the way serious jazz fans do. If the music were interesting to the point that it projected itself into their thoughts they probably wouldn't even like it.

But I think there's a lot of skill in crafting music which perfectly captures the tone of a warm gray morning, being out on the water on a sunny day, or late hours in the city.

I also think Kenny G is proof that all the music from Hell isn't just rock-n-roll. Mr G's music makes me feel as if a sap covered cork screw is being slowly twisted into my skull.

*****For the record: I also love elevator music.

The Lawrence Welk Show. I've been watching the old reruns on PBS lately. It's like a train wreck...horrifying, but you can't turn away.
