Maybe he can, but it always feels like I'm watching an actor. His voice really bugs me too. When I think good actor, I think Leonardo Dicaprio or Brad Pitt.


I like no name brand products. Sometimes they're better than brand name products. Store brand plum sauce is better than Lee Kum Kee because the store brand is watered down to be a thinner and lighter sauce. Store brand ketchup is just as good as heinz. I also like store brand beers. Some of them are pretty good. I also like cheap brand name beer more than expensive brand name beer. Old Milwaukee is like half the price of Budweiser but I think it tastes better.
 
Oh, and I love liver, mushrooms, sharp cheese, lunchmeats with the word "loaf" in them, and pickled herring.
 
Rainy days. I grew up in L.A. They were a treat. Life as usual was disrupted, I would live in the moment. I still like rainy weather.
 
The last 2 Matrix movies.

Ok, so they weren't perfect and a bit silly in places. But I never expected them to change my life or answer the unanswerable.

I don't get the rabid hate they inspire.
 
Well done meat. I like the taste and chewy texture. No matter where I go, the taste and smell of rare meat is disgusting.

1. I don't get the all Nicholas Cage hate. Yes, he sucks with money and made some real shitty movies recently. But he'll always have a soft spot for me because of his classics in the 90's: The Rock, Face Off, Con Air, Family Man, Leaving Las Vegas, etc. He can certainly act.

2. Why do adults dislike milk? I love that shit. It's great with chocolate, cookies, PBJ sandwich, & cereal. Actually nothing ever comes close to what milk can do for companioning those. Beer? Coffee? Soda? Fail.

3. I like Budweiser. Yes we're all beer snobs, but there's something about the crisp taste of Bud that goes well with rare Prime rib (Drool). Other thicker/darker brews tend to mask the flavor of steak too much.

I can't stand all light beer though.

Agree with 1 and 2 but sorry Buttwiper is to beer as skim milk is to milk.

Agreed, I prefer my meat cooked to where it's not red inside any more. Give me a 3 hour roast, it's very tender when cooked that long.

Come to Vancouver. You will tire of rain in time.

I'm sure it's true. For one thing I like to skate outdoors, bike too. Skating in the rain is a terrible idea (you'll fall and your skate bearings will seize up), and biking in the rain is a dull form of torture, not to mention the hassle of dealing with the rain gear.

I like Michael Cera. Or rather, I like the movies he's in. I'm aware he only has one character basically, but I like the stories for what he's done and he doesn't bother me at all.

I also really like girly drinks, and I don't like ANY beer (not that I've had every beer ever, but I don't like "beer" flavor).

Cera doesn't bother me, but I haven't seen him in a lot: Arrested Development (first 8 episodes or so) and Juno, that's about it.

Some day when you are hot, sweaty, thirsty and hungry an ice cold beer may suddenly taste really good!

The best beer I ever had was Old Rasputin. It tasted (to me) like every other beer, but the aftertaste was more pleasant.

I think almost any cold beverage would be fantastic on a hot day 😛

No, Heinz rules, I've never tasted another ketchup nearly as good.

Also Hormel Chili (No Beans) is the best. I am a great cook, but I've given up trying to make chili. I'm sure it can be done, but I just buy the Hormel.
 
I like fast food and blockbuster movies.
Is there better? Heck yes. But it doesn't warrant me hating anything that taste okay.
In general, I hate foodies and wannabe film critics.

Agreed. That one movie alone earned him some chops in my book.

Milk is fine. I drink it from time to time but not every day.

Bud with pizza? Definitely, but prime rib? No fucking way dude. Red wine all the way, a good red shouldn't mask the flavor, it accompanies it.
 
Civ 5... I really liked it (although I still felt burned by the fact that I paid $60 for it on release and it went on sale for 50% off like a week later)
