  • salads with marshmallows
  • Circus Peanut candy
  • Wonder Bread
Occupations in my hell:
  • proctologist
  • endodontist

  • going to a benefit or wedding with a loud band, bad food, and a bunch of total strangers at your table--and then a few of the guys start smoking cigars
  • taking the car in for service and having to wait in a waiting room with a television blaring
  • watching shopping channels
  • long turbulent flights with screaming children and someone using a barf bag nearby

  1. Oh, I am so with you on the seared tuna. What is with the cooked on the outside and mushy raw on the inside? That's not cuisine, that's a mistake. Throw some fennel on your list and it pretty much matches mine. I might eat the beans, if hell is a barbecue.

  2. I'm so glad chocolate wasn't anywhere on that list. :)

  3. As re: music, you just don't know what's good.

    Good call on the huzbins though.

  4. Tsk! Just because I don't like Metal. Or Chicago.

    Wait until you get to the entry where I admit that I don't drink vodka.
