Re: crappy stuff you love
My grandmother makes her own sauerkraut -- hand made, hand canned, from home grown cabbage. I can't nominate it for this thread, obv.

Re: crappy stuff you love
That is cool. I've always wanted to try that. I've wanted to try making my own kimchi too, but people on this board whose families have made it have told me you really need to have a separate fridge just for that, and keep it out in the garage. It'll just taint everything else. Heheh sounds good! Now that's the kind of kimchi I want to eat!

Re: crappy stuff you love
Bands I got into in middle school and feel I should've grown out of, but haven't. Fall Out Boy, Brand New, Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, you get the idea.
Fast food/junk food. The Thickburgers from Hardee's are the ones I regret the most; they're also the ones I eat the most

My fave is also the Sausage McMuffin with egg. The NYC dirty-water dogs are teh nuts but, I like the few stands that torch em on the foil instead of sit them in the water... (I like the burnt-black ones)

I'm 33 years old and still listen to those bands... (along with alot of other different stuff) I listen to EVERYTHING except dance, disco and rap. "dance" includes techno, house, electronica etc.
My addition to the thread is White Castle.
I loves me a sack of ten bacon cheese or jalapeno cheese with some chicken rings...

Re: crappy stuff you love
1 vote for McD Bacon Egg and Cheese biscuit. McDonald's breakfast, beloved by OOT, BB4L and tl;dr alike. Probably ElD's as well, when they're not busy contemplating where to have tonight's $200 steak dinner
My car. 1999 Ford Contour. I bought it in 2000. It has now seen me through a coast-to-coast move, marriage and the arrival of two children. 158k miles. It was our only car until about three weeks ago, when we finally pulled the trigger on a new ride, a 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe.
(side note: in two months I will finally be out of credit card debt for the first time in about 25 years. We held out until the end was near to shoulder a car payment. YEEEEAAAA credit card debt-free!!!)
The Contour needs work, it's got body dents, a hole in the driver's side carpet, and countless stains in the back seat (thanks, kids). My daughter picked up the phrase 'crappy car' from my wife... I took mild offense (lol other thread) so I taught her to say "POS beater" instead.
I think I should sell this car, we only need one as I work nights and ride a bike to work; my wife is a full-time mom... but it comes down to it, I just can't make myself let go yet. I love this old piece of **** car.

They don't advertise it but you can get sauerkraut for free on the $1.50 Costco dog that comes with a drink. You can get a Polish too for the same price but it's about as Polish as I am (Mother's side only third-generation).

Re: crappy stuff you love
John Cole usually treats me to a New York System Hot Wieners at this place with coffee milk whenever I return for a visit to Rhode Island.
More on wieners; probably the best late night food of all time if you don't plan on getting laid for the next week or so.
Quick weiner story: One time mid-eighties went with a bunch of people from work (defense/aerospace in Middletown/Newport) up to Providence to take in a Hulk Hogan pro wrestling show at the Civic Center followed by Lone Justice fronted by Maria McKee at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel. Girl from a rival contractor company drove her Cadillac and about five of us stopped for wieners in Olneyville late at night and ate the whole mess in her car. She could never get rid of the smell and a month or so later had to sell the car for about half what it was worth  .
~ Rick
PS David Byrne of Talking Heads worked as a wiener guy in a joint near Providence College before making it big. He had the perfect wiener cook look; skinny, creepy, skin that never saw the sun.

Re: crappy stuff you love
Just about anything from 7-11 (hot dogs, sandwiches, taquitos, cappucino, oatmeal raisin cookies). Their nachos have really fallen off, though.
Supermarket sushi.
Oh, and Footloose.

Re: crappy stuff you love
Dom, for some reason I caught Deep Impact on TV about 15 times in the past year. And like a good kid who grew up loving all the gay disaster movies of the 90s - Armageddon, DI, Dante's Peak, Volcano, Daylight - I watched the whole thing basically everytime. Maybe that puts me in your camp, but the movie is horrible, lol. Everything is made 10x worse by Morgan Freeman's pathetic presidential speech at the end and the atrocious FX which do nothing to make up for the fact that you just watched two hours of Tea Leoni. Granted there's an inherent edge given that Michael Bay did one and not the other, but Armageddon just crushes DI in every way.
