Don't get me wrong, I do think they have some pretty good songs, but I think they get way too much credit for being innovative and different. There were a lot of musicians doing great stuff at that time, but the Beatles just made it more commercially lucrative.

NFL, CFL, NCAA football, all of it across the board.

There is far too much standing around and/or celebrating post play.

Yes, I tried to read them out loud to my kids as well and couldn't do it. So strange how popular it is.

Went through the same thing with The Hobbit. Have you tried reading that to your kids? It's even worse.

Game of Thrones,The Walking Dead, etc. Just can't seem to get into these shows at all, despite pretty much everyone I know enjoying them.

Totally. You don't often see an NFL conversation that doesn't immediately move on to who's picked who. It's a gambling league.

Yeah, Mexican food is terrible. I really like Taco Time, and that's it. Sorry, no matter how fancy your restaurant is, ground beef, beans and rice are just going to taste like I was short on time after a long day and had to throw together a crappy meal to keep everybody fed. I find their food to be sad. Just like whenever I'm in Mexico the country seems sad.

You too huh? Well, maybe the anti-Mexican food contingent is larger than I thought.

Although I must admit I do live in the Mecca of Mexican food. I swear, SoCal Mexican is better than Mexico Mexican

I would suspect from his description, that Sliver isn't much of a Mexican Chef.

Zombies, and zombie shows. Even worse yet, zombie walk cosplayers.

You all suck. Your shows suck. And your costumes suck.

The Hobbit was worse than my memories of the book from when I was a kid. Tolkien uses a lot of damned awkward prose. For all his renown as some kind of classical writer, the words don't exactly flow off the tongue. But it wasn't nearly as bad as Rowling. I had to go back and repeat many sentences because I just couldn't grasp what she was getting at. The woman has no ear for language whatsoever.

I'm reading Sabriel by Garth Nix to the kids right now, and it's a genuine pleasure.
