Things you don't get

[CATCH17]

Spaghetti sauce without some kind of meat for flavor. Just why?

Tell me about it.

There is nothing worse than seeing a plate of Spaghetti with no meatballs or meat of any kind.

If I had my own banned substances list that would be on it. Spaghetti sauce with no meat.

It would be right next to V-8... Another thing I just dont get.

1. People who wait in line all night for a cellphone that will be obsolete before the year is up.
2. Ditto the morons who shiver in the dark for those "Black Friday" sales.
3. Elementary school tuitions that rival college tuition. WTH?
4. WG: why won't she return my calls?
5. Okra.

Mustard and chili (not together) are the only things that belong on a hotdog.

Oh and cheese

I hear what you are saying. But that is a conventional mindset.


Read up on some future goings on and how things are going to change in a relatively short period of time.

It will change your outlook... no thats too presumptuous of me... it will show you "stuff" you never thought possible.

I understand the revolutionary change has brought has a lot of good in it. It does. Not trying to negate that and set us back in time.

Just saying there is a lot of unneccesary fluff. And at what price? I know a family who has a very difficult time putting food on the table and until recently did not have health insurance. But they always had their cell phones (including the 3 kids) and associated plans.

This fits Chief's request to a tee IMO. Wildly popular, but I don't get it.

Hostile. Where I come from that is called Marinara. Pronounced Mot-a-not.

My wife and I make it all the time. No meat. Just whole tomatoes, fresh garlic, basil, oregano, onion.

Its like our white trash we dont feel like cooking meal. Marinara and pasta!!!

I have to ask again...why? A little sausage, a little ground beef, or even some browned chicken breast...voila. 100% better.

Sour cream on Mexican food (specifically enchiladas)

This must be some sort of a Tex-Mex thing.

Mexican food is very basic, especially enchiladas. Dip the corn tortillas in red or green chile sauce, add meat (beef or chicken), layer or roll them, add onions, add more sauce, add a layer of cheese, then bake in the oven to melt it all together.

I don't get sour cream anyway, but I don't understand why someone would create a beautiful enchilada as described above and then smear some sour, white paste over it.

A quote from my beloved dad: "Where I come from, if somethin' goes sour, we throw it out!"

I agree just don't go throwing any fungi in it. That's nasty.

I've hated sour cream since my first day on the job at a Mexican restaurant. I had to fill up about 10 bottles with a friggen spatchula.

I agree on pretty much everything on your list but I'd add Seinfeld to the list. I just never found it funny.

The irony is this thread reminds me of Seinfeld episodes.

why do they call it homework, you dont work on your home.

 

[jackrussell]

Why the Motown Sound ever went out of style. If you don't like the old Motown artists and their music you do not have soul. They were what music is about.

Amen to that...speaking of soul, how come I never heard of Joss Stone til yesterday?

why do they call it homework, you dont work on your home.

I had a teacher in HS named Mr. Chaires. He had a saying, "definition of homework, you do it at home." He was my drafting and welding teacher. So one time I was on the last drafting plate of a chapter and I purposely did not finish it.

The next day I came in and drew one line and took it up for him to approve. He told me to read the next chapter and turn in the homework. So I read the chapter and started to answer the questions at the end of the chapter.

He came in from the welding shop and asked me what I was doing. I told him I was doing my homework.

He said, "definition of homework?"

I replied, "you do it at home."

He was happy and went off to do whatever he was working on. Free day in class. So he came back a few minutes later and asked me what I was doing.

When I explained to him that all I had left to do was my homework he was so frustrated with me, "don't ever let this happen again."

A pet peeve of mine are kids that get their first car and NEVER wash their windows! Usually it's girls that have filthy windows, but alot of boys too!

Thick azzz film all on the inside and outside, fingerprints all over the insides, smoke film, all kinds of crap! Then, they think they can go speeding 40 miles and hour to get 3 blocks away...probably without really seeing what the hell they are supposed to see...of course texting on their cell phones!

Oh...another thing that makes me go "huh"? Kids that don't know how to fix a freaking keyboard or a kid that can't just buy one for 10 or 15 dollars, yet can go to the Mall and waste whatever money their mommy and daddy just gave them!!


:laugh2:

Uh, yeah, theebs...I saw the Sienfield episode too! Stop copy-catting his jokes!

american made vehicles- they blow, toyota and honda are high above the rest

being technologically inept- I understand some things, but if you cant adapt to great things like computers, cellphones etc. it just makes life easier.

plain sandwiches- all i eat are dagwood esque sandwiches. How can you not eat onions, tomatoes etc.

people who dont eat cheese-yum yum.

People who knock things before they try them, food wise- ill try mostly anything, peanut butter and cheese yum, my friends say gross.

people who dont read- its fun, just get the right book

that was the point. JR was talking about it.

Did you think I was trying to infer that I wrote that??????

I have to disagree with you. From what you stated earlier, you said you haven't been out of the country.

I am half mexican, my mom is fully Mexican, born in Mexico City. From when I was born I visit my family down there every single summer, in fact I am leaving at the end of this month.

Mexicans put sour cream on ALOT of stuff. Its a different type of sour cream though. Its more creamy. The stuff here is like solid and stuff. There is a store in Austin my mom buys "Mexican style" sour cream at. Its the good stuff. I couldn't imagine eating enchiladas or tostadas or chilaquiles without sour cream and salsa.
