Massive Rant!!

 

(Read at your own peril…)

 

With all the hatred and vitriol going around, I thought I’d jump into the cesspool and join in the fun!!! This is all written with my tongue firmly in my cheek…

 

Crocs – I LOVE them!! I think they are just the cutest shoes ever! Unfortunately, my feet are a bit on the misshapen side and I can’t wear them. If I could, I would have them in every color imaginable with all the bling and sparkles I could get my hands on. Love them!!

 

Candy Corn – Absolutely one of my favorite candies. That and the Harvest Mix that comes out in the Fall. Love it! I tried getting some of the CC in bulk at Winco, but it just didn’t have the same taste as the Brach’s brand. Don’t know why it’s only in the stores just before Halloween. I know you can order it online, but with S&H it gets a bit pricey.

 

Black Licorice – Same as the above. LOVE it! The red kind is OK and so is the chocolate kind from Twizzlers, but black is the best. Australian black licorice from Trader Joe’s is awesome. Soft and chewy. Yum!

 

Maroon 5 – I don’t care what kind of smack Greg Gutfeld dishes out…I LOVE MAROON 5!! Adam Levine is a real jerk, yeah, but I love the music.

 

Pineapple On Pizza – You will NEVER change my mind about this! Pineapple absolutely belongs on pizza. Pineapple with ham is OK, but I prefer it paired with pepperoni.

 

**Now for a change of view:

Car Races – I have always seen car races as a huge waste of gasoline. You go around and around and around and end up right where you started. Soap box derbies/go-kart races are cool though.

 

Competitive Eating – Things like this make me SO angry!! There is NO point to it!! See how much you can cram into your body without throwing up?? I know it’s not possible to feed everyone who is hungry, but you can sure do a lot toward it by NOT doing this!! The occasional pie eating contest where you see who can eat their pie the fastest without using their arms is OK. But not if you’re trying to see how MANY pies you can eat. Eat to nourish your body, and then share the rest of the food.

 

Bullfighting – I hate this. When I was very young I thought it was an interesting idea, but didn’t know it usually ended with the death of the animal. I thought it was sometime like playing tag, but didn’t know about the piercing of the animal with swords. I’m no vegetarian. I love eating animals (beef, pork, chicken etc etc) but I am for being humane about the raising and the process of preparing the animal.

 

Boxing – Something else I take a dim view of. I’ve seen the movies, and I’m glad Rocky won the fight, but the damage incurred by both fighters is unconscionable. There HAS to be a better way to show strength than to beat the living daylights out of someone. I think fencing is a good sport. Almost like a dance. And the sword tips are covered.

 

So. There’s my opinion on a few things.
