But it's everywhere, so I always look like the weird one when I have something else. The "Occupy" movement. The media seems obsessed with this one, but even they can't figure out exactly what they're trying to get. I'm fine with people having all sorts of protests for their opinions, but unless you have a proposal to make things better, keep your mouth shut. Professional sports. I grew up in an area where college sports were huge (with plenty of top-rated schools within a fairly short drive), and there were no pro teams around, so I just never felt a connection. I'm also not a huge fan of basketball (of any level), so this whole NBA lock-out is just a non-issue for me, yet I can't manage to escape hearing about it.

OK to delete this mods, I just can't think of another way to put it Rap...our own son has "rapped" on an album and I just don't get it. I either don't understand what in the heck they are saying or they say the same thing over and over. The person who invented the "fast forward" or "skip" option is my hero!

And worse, they're commercials that are just plain annoying (for guys at least). Does anybody out there know a guy who actually 'went to Jared'? I've never heard of one. When my brother got engaged two years ago, he specifically went to another store, because those commercials are so bad.
Originally Posted By EmmaJayne 'EmmaJayne, while you were here, did you ever get to experience the wonders of aerosol cheese? Truly, a gourmet treat!' I've had it on each and every trip to the US. I complain it's disgusting but inevitably purchase some!! and as for the not understanding: Why Australian's insist on singing carols such as 'Let It Snow' and 'I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas' when Christmas day here is normally around 90-100 degrees.. those songs are just setting us up for disappointment and Tights as pants. Why don't young girls realise they are tights, not pants?

Lost my purchase they did... rant over Also hate the Jared commercials and I'd never shop there because of them. Good times when we drive by one though.... "ooooh it's a Jared....we MUST go there...oooooh" LOL!

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Probably going to get flamed for this but I don't understand getting autographs from characters in the Parks. Our youngest DD got an autograph book one of the early years. She has an autograph from a Gummi Bear One year was all I could handle and thankfully it was also the last year she was interested. I'm also a person who doesn't see a character but a live person in a character suit. I worry for them, are they hot? are they tired? are they annoyed with people screaming at them. So I get that I'm in the minority. I enjoy seeing them the characters from a distance, in a parade or a show. Standing in line to get an autograph, nope, I'll never understand it.
Originally Posted By EmmaJayne ' I don't understand getting autographs from characters in the Parks' Me either. I understand it was a good idea back in the day before digital cameras, when film was expensive and you might have only taken 20 pictures on a whole day at the park. Therefore the signature becomes a nice keepsake. But now we have cameras that store hundreds of picutres, I wish they'd stop the signature thing. It takes SO long and those poor people trying to write a name through those huge character gloves and heads.

Holiday songs that should only be heard once every 5 - 10 years: Little Drummer Boy Feliz Navidad Carol of the Bells Ironically, the song with the most repetitive title "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" is always being re-imagined in a variety of musical styles and remains fresh. Felix Navidad: Would it have killed you to come up with a few more verses?
