All bones...and not sure how she gets paid 5x more than the 2nd highest paid.

Sex in water...not so much. I'll take clean sheets on big bed after a shower all day! Was that tmi
 

“You know what, guys? I’m gonna Tom Brady this thing,” he says to his friends. “I’m gonna say, ‘You’re not giving me four days of detention! You’re only giving me one!’ No, to hell with that! ‘You’re going to give me NO days of suspension! And then I’m gonna go home and f—k my hot wife, who’s not even that hot… kinda look like a dude!”

Parades - stand for hours and fight crowds to wave at floats and catch junk thrown your way.
Fireworks - seen one seen them all
Owning a home - I mean good grief, basically in bonded labor for the next 30 years. Can't just up and move when a job opportunity comes along or your neighbors turn out to be dog poop. Not to mention the hidden costs - taxes, insurance, repairs and having to do sh.. yourself
Wedding prep and ceremonies - unless you're a gay dude or the bride. Bachelor parties can help some but the actual ceremony has nothing to do with you. It is for everyone else and only your physical presence is needed
Reality shows - Even Survivor, Big Brother, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Amazing Race, Fat people lose weight, American Idol/Voice/Dance/pubic hair pulling/whatchamacallit talent shows
Cable/Dish - Just get a fat pipe Internet connection for streaming, cut the cord and be done with it
 
Nirvana
The Clash
The Sex Pistols....for that matter any "punk" band - not sure how anyone can embrace a style of music where the musicians embrace the fact that they cannot play there instruments well and they have no interest in improving
Krspy Crème donuts - really? This is what all the fuss was about???
Kiss - agree totally with another poster's assessment that they have 3 good songs...but for the life of me I can only think of 2.........

Jennifer Aniston post 2000 - once she lost weight I never saw the attraction. JA in 1997 was the peak!
Madison Square Garden - Knicks & Rangers have combined for 1 championship in 40 years! What's so special?
Stone Cold Ice Cream - give me Carvel anyday
Attending NFL game - $85 for upper deck seats, $40 parking, $10 beers & tv timeouts galore. Home is where it's at.

Did you have them fresh after being glazed and the hot now sign is on? They are pretty damn good. But if you had them cold or after cooled off, then yeah not so much.

Now 5 guys burgers, not really sure what all the hype is about and I have tried it a couple times. They aren't bad but I was told they were like the end all be all to burgers and they aren't even close to that. Are they better than MCDonald's, Burger King or other fast food joints? Sure, but they aren't nearly as fast and they are far more expensive.

I have not had them hot...may be because we have Dunkin Donuts in the northeast (not sure where else they are located....) but when I did have them I thought they were way too sweet......and I am admittedly a sweets junkie.

Then I can understand you thinking they are overrated. If you ever get the opportunity to go to a store that has the Hot now sign on and get a few as soon as they pull them off from being glazed, then you will see what the fuss is about. But yes they are super sweet, but they nearly melt in your mouth and you can put down half a dozen before realizing it and have a sugar rush.
 
Stella Artios and other European pilsners.

I laugh at anyone who claims they are better than American ones. They are made by the same people in the same breweries.

Agree they are way overrated. Do they taste good? Sort of, I guess. But not like a donut should be.

Sort of like eating a spoonful of honey or whipped cream tastes good, but if someone gave you a spoonful called it NY Cheesecake, it would not be good NY Cheesecake.

And their non-glazed varieties are straight trash. I'm all about a Dunkin Donuts or Tim Hortons style donut...that's what a donut should be. There were places that had much better donuts than those when I was growing up, mostly bakeries, but that's the style I consider a real donut.

I'm fine with you bashing Stella, it uses corn syrup like a lot of the American adjunct "pilsners". But most real European pilsners are real beer aka only barley, yeast and hops. For example, Pilsner Urquell is not only a real Pilsner which means only malted barley, Saaz hops and Bavarian yeast but it's the original that all the others are trying to copy. The American adjunct "pilsners" are just chemical concoctions of corn syrup, rice sugars and/or wheat flour mixed with enough barley so they can claim it. So yes, Stella is a ^+^* "American" style "beer" but that doesn't mean all pilsners are. For myself I either go for the original (Urquell) or just admit I'm drinking swill and get the High Life.

I'm talking about the mass produced and advertised ones like Stella and Heineken.

Netflix. I have it, but only because my daughter is addicted to it. It's Friday night. Let's fire up Netflix! Yayyyy...documentaries! How exciting.
 
You're doing it wrong.
No I'm not. It's not terrible, just overrated. I mean, yes, there's obviously more than documentaries. It's also a lot of worthless tv shows and crap movies, or movies we've all seen 100 times. Their "Original Series" are also average, at best.

In and Out Burger

100% agree.

Better than McDonalds and Burger King? Definitely.

Better than Whataburger and Wendy's? Debatable, depends on the chain.

Better than Blakes Lottaburger, Five Guys, Steak N Shake, Shake Shack and Smashburger? No.

Better than BurgerFi, GrubBurger, or probably hundreds of real burger places? Lol, not even close.
