When someone says fried fish is “bland” and needs lemon or (Shudder) Tartar Sauce, or malt vinegar to have much flavor tells me they don’t have any real tasting abilty. The very first fish I ever ate, as a baby was fried Walleye. Nothing special, no lemon, nothing, and that’s the way I prefer it about 65 years later.

I liked the Enterprise E too. I would love to see the rejected designs for the D, just to see if they missed picking the obvious right one, or if the one picked was the best of them. I somehow doubt it was the latter.

JJ is like M. Night to me. He got me once, but never again will I pay to see anything he’s involved with. 

My main complaint with ST2009 is the alternate timeline shit and the design of the Enterprise. IMHO, nothing beats the refit/1701A design. The one in the later movies just looks dumb, but than again, the Enterprise D in TNG was awful looking too. Even after years and years of looking at it, I never got comfortable

Most of my friends have been what I call, “Dairyheads”, they all chugged milk in large amounts, a couple were buttermilk freaks (Yuck), and cheese cheese cheese, from mildly disgusting (American and Swiss) to Holy Shit Gawd NO blue, etc. I never liked any of it, except butter and ice cream, but I didn’t, and don’t eat

What fast food chain is as good or better? 

I like pretty much all types of fries. I like them too well, actually. Cooked right, they are all pretty great. My favorite? If I’m cutting up potatoes, wedges, cooked in corn oil, with garlic and a little (Very little) parsley, with a good amount of salt. Cooked to about the color of Canada Dry Ginger Ale.

The ST movies. Just to get JJ and his BS as far away from the set/script/shooting as possible.

Please let him make the Star Trek ganster planet movie! It would have to be better than the last ones. It would have to be. 

Ohio is Starburst? Wow, that’s almost Jim Jordan level of embarrassing. 

Me too, I don’t really like bananas at all when they are past the “just a little green on the edges” stage. I used to reject bananas at my best friend’s house most of the time, because his mother bought bananas that, IMHO, were way way past their “Will the dog eat them?” date.

My best friend is a creamy person. I don’t understand it. He buys Skippy only, too. 

Well, I used to be allergic to dogs and cats. Since I got no better after the dog I had from the age of 4 died, I got a puppy for my 9th birthday. By my 10th Bday, I wasn’t showing anything on the scratch tests. I was cured of the cat allergy in 1984 when we got stuck with a stray and I toughed it out for a few months

That just sucks, my condolences..

Well, yeah. They do park trains all the time. Right now with the crew shortages, they shut them down and go home and they get a new crew when one becomes available. The huge length of so many trains causes problems as the yards aren’t designed for 15,000 feet monsters.

The people who constantly whine that industry is too regulated should be forced to live everywhere is some sort of disaster where doing the right thing would have either prevented it, or at least made it not as bad. The ways companies and even individuals cheat safety and environmental laws is endless. They gamble

I always have wondered how something that ends up being hated by so many customers/users ends up in a mass production product? The autostart is the latest one I’ve had friends deal with. They all hate it, and #1 on their list of things to find out about is how the hell to disable it, preferrably permanently. Yeah, it

Even at 66, I can’t handle a lot of vegetables. Green beans, wax beans, etc, asparagus, brussel sprouts are still a “hell no” to me, as are a lot of salad greens. Bitter is the main taste to a lot of these, but whatever it is in the beans, it’s not bitterness, it’s just awful.

As a two time Camaro and one time Firebird owner, I wanted to like the 5th Gen when it came out, but I couldn’t. The front end was ok, but the rest of it was a dud. I just hated the looks of it, even though I liked the 1st gen a lot, and it was supposed to be a nod to that car, right? The back seat was a joke, the

I’ve never had lemonade from any fast food place (Unless it’s a mom and pop and they make it from scratch) that isn’t just weak as shit, worthless. There used to be a bottled one, I can’t remember the name anymore, that was 25% lemon juice. It was fantastic, and of course, they pulled the plug on it. My mother and
