 Posted: Mon May 05, 2008 5:58 am Post subject: The FIVE GREATEST Things Ever Put On This Earth |
 |
|
I want to know what you think are the five most special things in the world. These are the things that transcend their catagories. They can be hobbies, games, art, comics, music, film, TV, video games, food, etc. Not people, not your dog or your spouse, or your kids. Things everyone can enjoy. (Pregnant pause)
Here's my list:
Kurt Vonnegut
E.C. Segar's Thimble Theatre (Popeye)
The Fall
Akira Kurosawa
Fiorino's Baked Ziti Scilian (which has achived mythological proportions since the restaurant sadly burned down years ago.)

The feeling you get after doing something illegal and not getting caught.

The good and the bad so far:
As someone who USED (before kids) to live for football (Redskins, baby!) I can understand.
Exile On Main Street: Epic (though I personally like the more compact brilliance of Sticky Fingers)
I need to try that sandwich!
It's A Wonderful Life: take away all the stereotyping and your left with an all time great.
Just Carnita's? Not Julio's Carnitas or the carnitas mom used to make? Where can I get these special carnitas dammit?
Wii: So much fun, but It will be obsolete in two minutes once the next thing comes along?
Sweaty Sex: Can we really all enjoy this? I mean, even if you have it up there on YouTube, is it really SO good we can all enjoy it? (also, isn't non sweaty sex a little better. Isn't sweaty a little too synomymous with smelly?)
Can't argue with Cash or Truman, though. (I mean I can, but I won't)

Well yeah, but fuck it... It's the most I've gotten out of my video game experience since Super Nintendo. Plus the boxing game can actually be a fairly decent cardio workout.

Nah, man. Definately better when you work up a good sweat. If you're not stinkin' up the room, you're not doing it right.

It'd be a difficult arguement (but interesting to watch) seeing as how they're both dead.

Did you get a chance to see the Fall when they toured Los Angeles a few years ago? I was in line, but had to leave because I got sick.  |

The whole of Los Angeles is pretty well set for Carnitas... except Taco Spot (stop?) in eagle rock. Theirs are terrible.
Great in a burrito at Machos Tacos. And theres a hole in the wall mini-mall place in Chatsworth called Tacos el Costas that has a pretty terrific one too. |

No. I wish. That was the tour where the band ditched him and his wife, right? And they picked up a trio of LA guys to soldier on.
You should've went anyway and got sick inside.
