1. Poker…why?
When did poker become something people would actually watch on TV? I don’t get it, it’s okay to play with your buddies, but watching other people play games isn’t terribly exciting. Who here likes watching someone else play a video game for an hour? I didn’t think so. More proof that people will watch any crap on TV, if it’s advertised enough. Did a focus group actually say, “Hmmm…billiards have been on ESPN for years now, why not another saloon-type sport?”

2. Beef jerky is the root of all culinary evil.
Why do people eat beef jerky? It has to be the nastiest, foulest-tasting food on the planet. I’m trying a low-carb, low-sugar diet, and decided to give a piece of this vile crap a try. I never understood how dried meat could look palatable, let alone taste good. No, it’s just salt, nitrates, and shoe leather. I shall never eat it again. How did it ever get so popular? I mean, there’s lots of real, inexpensive meat that one can buy just about anywhere now.

3. Ore Ida, *****!
Somebody actually used the term “tater” today to refer to money. I wanted to strangle this fellow soundly, so he might hallucinate and see this fat, overweight, lady with the most annoying of backwoods, hick Southern accents, calling out to her little dog named “Tater” whilst dangling a cheap cigarette in one hand and having the annoyingly pointless 25-foot retractable leash in the other. Yeah, buddy…we’ve got hundreds of other perfectly usable terms to refer to money!

4. You have a BD, not a BL, so stop the BS.
Here's to you, Mr. Fake Trim Package! Lexus GS300 owners who sport GS430 or GS400 logos on their rides. This is getting annoying: you’re only fooling yourself. We’ll decode your VIN number and make you drive an ES250 for a month for every violation. That’s right, kid…you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you're going to lose in the end and tarnish Lexus' reputation in meanwhile, and fool yourself.
 
Haven't run into 3 or 4, but I can definately agree with #1. I'd much rather play poker than watch, yet all my friends do the opposite.

As for #2, I don't mind beef jerky too much, but I can't handle a lot of it at one time.
 
In response to:

1. Some find it exciting, as I do. I like seeing people who are geniuses and who are the best in poker face off. Also, I like seeing people who are much luckier than I.

2. That is your opinion. I like beef jerky, when it is quality. There is a place 10 miles form here that sells excellent jerky. As to why anyone would eat it, why would anyone eat tofu? or saurkraut? or rice? People's pallets are different.

3. I've never heard that before. Some people are strange

4. Well, I hate people like this too. It's the same with people with stock civics and integras with Type-R crap one there. Thos Lexus owners are ricer wannabes.
