Golf!

I'm soooo with you on this one. I had to attend our company golf tourney this year and I of course didn't play, mainly because I'm not good and absolutely refused to make an ass out of myself playing a sport I loathe.

I had to sit as a witness at our "hole in one" hole, just in case somebody actually got a hole in one. It was boring, hot, and I had to endure "Are you the prize?" type comments all afternoon. I did get to go ripping around in one of the golf carts. Highlight of my freakin afternoon.

Golf should be abolished.

To paraphrase Brian Burke, ex-GM of the Canucks:

"If I can't find something better to do with five hours of my time than that stupid game, I should be taken out and shot."

Never lacking in an opinion is Brian Burke.

I avoid golf unless I can't get out of it - charity tournaments and the like where I have some sort of obligation to show up ala a contribution or for schmoozing purposes.

oooh and trucker hats. Who decided those were cool?

trucker hats arent cool. they were about 2 years ago when only they were still alt. but just like every trend, the masses got a hold of it and now they are only worn by unoriginal trendfollowers and tenny boppers.

same with von dutch. if you seem somebody wearing that, dont forget to point and laugh. and then kick them in the junk.

[Krackt420]

That's the thing, though, isn't it...is it really ISN'T a sport. As far as I'm concerned it's just a schmooze fest for self-important business types :P

I just can't buy into a sport that requires you to shut up. No chanting...no heckling...no waves....no horns...no drunk ***holes spilling beer on you....pffft garbage.

Can we include wearing aviator sunglasses on that list too (especially inside!!!).

I equate Trucker Hats with the tilly hat fad of a few years back. Pretty soon no one will be caught dead in them.

Led Zeppelin.
The Doors.
Most 60's hippie music.
Van Halen

3. "quicky" food for LAZY people ie: salad in a bag, that costs 10x more than a stupid head of lettuce.

I have to say that prewashed and precut salad is a godsend. If I have to work and then go out in the evening for any reason then I don't have the time to wash a head of lettuce, shred some carrot and chop other vegetables to have in a salad. Usually, if I have an evening appointment I would rather spend my time doing something other than food prep. So, my time is very much worth the extra 2 dollars that I spent on the salad in a bag.

Ummm... Rides at Amusement Parks... Never could stand them.
Star Wars... I used to like Star Wars but have grown to dislike it now.
And a bunch of other things that would take way too much time and energy to list.

Guilty Dislikes (things other people like that I feel akward about mentioning)

Seafood - I hate it. All of it. Fish, shellfish, caviar, etc. I wish people would simply be able to accept the fact that I don't like it, there's nothing they can do to change it and, yes, I grew up on the west coast. No kidding.

Golf - A great way to ruin a nice walk. Next.

Molson Canadian - Why are most people bewildered when I mention this one? I dunno, maybe perhaps I didn't learn to drink by having someone bootleg for me so I wasn't forced to drink the beer located closest to the cashier.

Honda Civics - Okay, here's the thing: I don't care that you dropped thousands of dollars on 'mods' for your economy car...it's still an economy car. No amount of cut vinyl graphics, shiny rims or gigantic spoilers will convince me that your car is a racecar. Now, take the small penis you are compensating for and hop in your Honda Civic for a drive.

Slutty Chicks who crave attention - While I understand that women have needs I could really care less about the fact that slutty chicks want guys to fall all over themselves for their attention. Show some dignity. Show some class. If all your bringing to the discussion is a pair of hip huggers then perhaps you should sit down and try to study with the rest of the class so you don't get left back.

Baseball - It bores me to tears and I make no bones that I would rather watch a fishing show than a baseball game. At least you know the guys on the fishing shows are drunk out of their minds.

Cattle Boyz Barbeque Sauce - Yes, it's barbeque sauce. Yes, it's made in Calgary. Now, stop stroking yourself before you get thrown out of the store for masturbating over tomato paste, vinegar, molasses and spices. Sheesh.

[Pagal4321]

Well geez, I think I have just realized we can be a bunch of grumpy cranky people

And Krackt does not like golf. Nor does Reaper, nor does Troutman.....

[kipper34]

I'll try and keep this short.

Sushi - I'll never understand why people find seaweed, sticky rice and raw seafood so "wonderful". Yuck.

Football - The game is soooooo slow and boring. I don't understand why its so popular.

CJAY 92 - This station is crap, they play too many of the same oldies over and over and the DJs are stupid. You could throw VIBE in there too. Its all garbage. What Calgary needs is a good alternative rock station. Dream on.

Chinook Mall - Just an over hyped, over sized shopping centre full of teeny boppers.

Alchohol - In general, it tastes like sh*t. I mean, I have it from time to time, but I'll never understand society's obsession with it and why beer and hockey mix.

Jogging - Why would I want to go running... when walking accompishes the same thing, just at a slower pace?

Working out at the gym - Ohhhh, a bunch of hot shots sweating all over the place. Where do I sign up?

Golf - The supidest game on earth. Hitting a tiny white ball around an oversized lawn. Not to mention, it costs an arm and a leg to play. I'd better cancel my tee time.

[Jiggy_12]

Lord of the Rings, the whole damn trilogy...I can't stand it.

[lucid]

I echo all sentiments regarding sushi.
I can't stand salmon either. At least I don't have to go out and pay an arm & a leg for fresh slamon.

Working out in the gym- see Kipper34's post

Dogs- Yes, I admit it, I'm not a dog person. Acutally, I'm not really an animal person at all. I can do without the dog smell in my house, the hair on my clothes. Give me a fish and I'm happy.

Baseball- Help me now. How anyone can watch this is out of their minds. What a bore... I'd rather watch golf.

Beer- Ick. Definitely not my drink of choice.
Clubs- I must be the anomally in my generation, but I generally don't like going to clubs. Perhaps what bothers me more is the fact that some people seem convinced that the only way to have a good time is to go out and get so completely drunk they can't stand up. The world is so much bigger than weekend club outings.

Star Wars- I've never seen a single movie, I have no interest in seeing them, and I likely never will. And I don't feel like I'm missing out.

Agreed completley.......

We do have such a thing:

CJSW (driving home today I heard Cure, Hives, Devo etc)
CKUA
CBC2 late night

On the Internet:
www.3wk.com (I'm listening right now to the Weakerthans)

[Five-hole]

TV. I absolutely cannot stand watching that bloody advertisement box unless hockey is on.

On that note: Sitcoms. These are Satan's way of slowly draining our soul so we become mindless, emotionally neutral consumers that laugh when we're told to and buy what we're told to. DIE FRIENDS DIE.

The music industry. Now, I'm not sure how many people actually LIKE it, but I, for one, think the current state of the arts is a sign of the apocalypse. Music execs get ahold of something cool, sit in a board room for a week or so and figure out how to package four or five bands that all sound exactly the same for the aforementioned mindless consumers to sing along to and drain their soul some more.

Finally, the worst of the worst. Advertising. You cannot do anything these days without advertising being a part of it. As Bill Hicks said: "do we have any people in advertising or marketing in the audience? [some cheers] Kill yourself."

[Five-hole]

Wait, wait; I've got one more.

Soulless corporatism. (You may notice a trend here.) From birth we are brainwashed and raised to become a corporate whore and slave for the rest of our lives. Get that job for a giant corporation that doesn't care about you at all so you can buy that new car, get a CD of a manufactured band to put in it, and -- oh yeah, get that big screen TV so you can watch more advertising and figure out what it is THE CORPORATIONS [ominous loudspeaker voice] want you to do and buy.

We worship at the altar of Nike, NBC, and Dreamworks. What do we get in return? We get to die at 70 or 75 without having accomplished anything meaningful whatsoever.

Yay!

[Dedly]

Sprouts!!!! Why are they in so much Chinese food? They're terrible!

What else?... AC/DC, baseball, basketball, most seafood, rap or hip-hop

[browna]

I have plenty...but start with this....

Beer...don't touch the stuff. Anyone who claims they can differentiate between 10 different north american brands is full of it.

Japanese cars - well, moreso, their percieved higher "value", resale wise.

Building a new house in a new community - We were considering this, but realized how force fed so many people are, for being lazy in not looking around. Houses are packed together, bascially all the same floorplans etc etc. No originality, no uniqueness...in addition to the cramming of houses on small lots, you're far away from a lot of things.
