Oh yeah, I don't get scotch either. I think it's pretty vile and the only reason some guys drink it is because they think they ought to.

Our neighbor across the street washes his cars every weekend as long as it isn't raining and the temperature is above 45. I just don't get it.

I also don't get video games, at least not since I was about 15.



+1 to both. Any tobacco product, but especially chewing tobacco.

I don't get belching. Or belching on command. Or belching to music. You get the idea....

That is why, "The first axiom for camp(ing) is... do not make yourself uncomfortable for want of things to which you are accustomed". Pup tents? Give me an Indian tent suite with a living room and bathroom with lightweight aluminum bathtub and fixtures.

+2 to both

on a side note, an ex of mine had a rather attractive skinny blonde sister who for some god forsaken reason loved to belch. And when I say Loved I mean LOVED to do so. She was really loud and it was a mega turnoff

I think you are the primary example of someone who drinks the stuff because he feels that he ought to. I feel a lot of people drink the stuff because they are trying to portray some kind of imagre rather than because they really like it.

I switched from Bourbon to Scotch. The sweetness of Bourbon started to grate on me.

Interesting. I guess I agree, I understand why people like cars, they just doesn't do it for me. +1 on the belching thing, same with farting, etc.

+1, the only scotch I really like it one that was aged in bourbon barrels. I much prefer bourbon and rye.

Busting on other guys, in particular claiming in jest to have had sex with another dude's mother.
