Things I can take or leave

Because I am of the MTV generation and feel neither highs or lows – thanks The Simpsons – I feel somewhat qualified to hereby list the things I generally say “Meh” to.

Things I can take or leave

  • Timothy Dalton as James Bond
  • Apricots
  • Bubblegum flavoured ice-cream
  • Sand
  • Vases that are awkward sizes. Especially those with the teensy neck yet are fatter than a boab tree at the base. Makes no sense to me.
  • The rough surface on a new basketball. My fingertips say, “Icky!”
  • T-shirts that end above my hipbone
  • Socks that come up to just on the shinbone
  • The colour orange – except at sunrise or sunset
  • BabaGounush
  • People who deliberately mispronounce ‘BabaGounush’ for comedic affect. Guess what folks: it ain’t funny.
  • Actors who appear in political ads as ‘themselves’ and then go on the record later saying, “I’m not political in any way.” Pick a side, whydoncha?
  • Any kind of packaged food which is deliberately marketed as having “Wonderful Health Benefits” for my children. I’ll decide that for myself, thanks.

That’s an odd collection. How did ‘sand’ get in there? How does it get anywhere, come to think of it?

I think T-shirts that end above your hip bone become ‘meh’ after you have kids, or leave your teens. Or they should. SOmepeople need to be told.

I’m with Suze on the T-shirt thing. But I do love orange. Interesting list. Thanks.

I completely agree – except I love baba gounush. I think it’s a nightshade thing – I love eggplant, tomatoes, most night shades… mmmmm!

I dislike Timothy Dalton, Roger Moore, but especially… oh I can’t even remember his name! You know, the guy before Daniel Craig? Him! ;)

Happy TT

I liked Timothy Dalton as Bond. I liked his successor even better. Can’t stand the current one. Doubt if I will go see another Bond flick as long as he’s around.

I miss Sean Connery and just can’t seem to get used to any other James Bond. :)

I think eating in the sand is bad! How about sand and ice cream very bad! Happy TT

I hate T-shirts that end above the hip bone. I have a bunch too, because for a while I couldn’t find any others that fit. Not that I’m stuffing myself into them or anything.

What is the deal with bubblegum flavoured ANYTHING? Even bubblegum tries not to be, so why impose it on anything else?

I love, love, love, love, love orange – but I understand not everyone is me.

I too steer away from the emblazened “Wonderful Health Benefits” stickers – I always figure it is hiding something.
