I hate this *****.

lol well you should've gotten a PM, but you don't have to wait for one to make a pick if it's your turn! Go ahead.

Round Three:

category - Artist

Keith Harring





WTF is this crap? It was all over NY and L.A. in the 80s and 90s because, for some reason, Harring became an AIDS icon. You couldn't drive down the street without seeing a mural of this crap.

Don't get me wrong, this is not me ragging on art I don't understand it. I do understand it. I just hate it. It's the worst kind of pop art. All about bright colors for no reason at all. All surface, no depth.

Stupid stick figures are fun! Well, no, they aren't I hate Keith Harring and his multi-million dollar bull crap. It needs to die.

Go ahead and skip my round 4 pick, I have to run to the airport.

Biggerboat, go ahead.

Song The Pina Colada Song

First of all it's stupid. Second of all, it's stupid. Third of all, the stupid song gets stuck in my head every time I hear it.

I hate pina coladas. Horrible drink. I hate getting caught in the rain. Making love on the dunes of the cape? Who likes that? All that sand, amirite?

Who wants to hear someone named Rupert sing anything anyway?

And of course, the basic premise is beyond ridiculous. Two people cheating and all the sudden everything is rainbows and unicorns? Give me a break.

It may be safer for them, but it's more dangerous for cars or pedestrians. They should still be forced to follow the laws: if the job is too dangerous to do legally, it should not be done at all.

Re: Pina Colada Song. I also thought it was funny it implied that they were both ok with the other doing the personal ads. You know the guy would really be yelling "you cheating whore! I knew it was you, that's the only reason I answered it!"

I'm happy to say that of the two songs picked so far, I haven't heard them in their entirety. Those are pure anti-music.

Biggerboat, in all seriousness, how can you have heard that song so many times that you know the lyrics to it?

Object of HATE: All encompassing new-agey feel-goodery

I don’t know what else to call it.

I’m all for doing what you gotta do for yourself to make yourself happy and make your life better, and there is nothing really wrong with any of them in and of themselves. But the mindset and way of being for those that try to do them is unbearable. I swear, everyone I’ve met that does them is trying to make up for having been a piece of **** before you knew them. The Secret, Practice Gratitude, The Power Of Positive Thinking, etc, etc, etc. You could even put yoga practitioners and vegans in there a lot of the time. A militant vegan is just as bad as any devout religious person.

To be more specific where my hate is placed, its not these things themselves or the all of the people that practice these things. Its that they can’t keep it to themselves, and the **** they spew are the worst attributes of what they’re “selling”. Its like the ones that are the worst to deal with are in the beginner stages with no idea how to apply what they’re learning. They make for annoying acquaintances and ****ty friends.

Oh Boo hoo hoo. None of this is justification for running down pedestrians, smacking them with your document bag because you're on the sidewalk and in their way or causing people to have to panic stop to avoid killing one of these d'bags because they decided to run a stop light on a four lane plus 2 service road intersection. More people who walk downtown should start carrying T-ball bats.

this song was HUGE. I probably know the lyrics by heart lol. But I hate it so much.

ROUND 4:

Spoiler:

category: brand

Spoiler:

The NBA

I hate the NBA with the force of a thousand suns. It has become unwatchable for me. It's boring because only a handful of teams are actually competitive. It's boring because so many players now play above the rim that it's more of a track meet instead of a basketball game. It's boring because we get the yearly "where is LeBron going to play next?" Or Kyrie, or James, or whoever. I think it's laughable that players can move around so freely, like hired guns. No loyalty.

I thought for a brief moment, with Curry and the Warriors, that maybe the game had gotten interesting again, like it was in the 80s. But nope, still boring, even though I do admire the shooting skills of Curry.

It's boring because they play so many meaningless games and the season is ridiculously long. It's boring because each playoff series can take up to two damn weeks to play. And finally, it's boring because when the season finally does end and I'm like," thank god, no more basketball for a few months," all of a sudden I see ****ing summer league ball on the TV. WTF?? ENOUGH BASKETBALL.

And enough of the NBA. It sucks, it's boring, and I hate it.

Slamdunkpro on the clock!

+1 on NBA!

I lost all interest decades ago but I did love it when I was younger. Haven't watched a game in years.

And yeah if you ever listened to the radio you heard that pina colada song a million times.

IDK, maybe DC messengers are a certain breed. Where I messaged, anyone that mauls down pedestrians would get laughed at, beat up, or fired from their company. There are few things that were zero-tolerance, but hitting a ped was legit not okay. Over 4 years of doing it, I've never once heard or seen a biker hit a ped.

But, also note that many people freak out, and running in circles creates a much larger target than a stood-still person. Messengers are at a level of bike riding that isn't easy to understand (think of you -vs- a semi-truck driver), and I'm doubtful that any of them would purposely hit a pedestrian. Walking as if they don't exist is the best you can do.

Sometimes they don't stop, sometimes they do. Sometimes you didn't see the car speeding up behind them, if you are exposed, you aren't sure if that speeding dote behind you is going or not, so you go. Other times, it is very difficult to stop for other reasons, but once again, I've never seen a messenger outright run through moving traffic.

So, yeah, if DC messengers are that bad, then we can agree, but I'd ask you to try riding around in downtown traffic for 8 hours and see how you think before really judging. The first hour, you will get a thug drive up beside you and say: "Get off the road, this ain't no place for bikes." Then they will proceed to turn into you and try to run you into the front of a truck. That's daily living.

Dominic;

I'm pretty sure the NBA is the easiest thing ever to ignore. Why are you torturing yourself like that?

I hate basketball. Hate playing it, etc. I never watched an entire game in my life.

Hard to ignore when you're playing poker and every damn TV in the casino is turned to basketball.

Never got into basketball, but it seems pretty easy to ignore. It doesn't trigger any real hate in me.

Round Four

Gary Ferry aka Guy Fieri - Celebrity

No one is more phony or less deserving of any recognition then this ass clown. Plucked from an obscure bar and grill this aging 40 something millennial wanna be is solely responsible for the destruction of The Food Network. The mere mention of his name in most professional kitchens is enough to get your kitchen pass revoked. His shows suck, His restaurants suck and he sucks. The hate is strong with this one.

Slamdunkpro’s picks
Round 1 Ferris Bueller’s Day off - movies
Round 2 Tapas - food
Round 3 Bicycle Messengers - wild card
Round 4 Gary Ferry aka Guy Fieri - Celebrity

I tell you, if Hollywood was a city, I would have picked that place instead. They take all this new-age **** to such an utter extreme. Venice is the home of the crack-head vegan yogi, lol.

Where you in Hollywood during the raw food diet craze? ugh... endless debate between raw food and vegans... if they weren't all too weak from anemia, Hollywood would have looked like K-Town during the LA riots.

I actually meant to say that it was probably LA/Hollywood specific as far as the hatred goes. Doubt it would've occurred to me otherwise if I still lived in NY

Redbuck made me genuinely lol a couple of times here...also after watching the YouTube series episode of Hot Ones with Guy Fieri I liked him a lot better. It's a pretty good format, this guy interviews celebs while eating 12 chicken wings of increasing heat. It goes from mild to bat**** insane.

Food: Pumpkin Spice



Enough! There's too much pumpkin spice **** out there when fall comes around. I don't don't mind the occasional pumpkin spice latte, but we don't need pumpkin spice vodka, pumpkin spice beer, pumpkin spice salsa, pumpkin spice oreos, pumpkin spice dog treats, etc, etc.




Honestly, pumpkin spice needs to get off my pumpkin spice-flavored dick and just chill out this year. It doesn't even taste like pumpkin anyway.

I'm out of town until Sunday so please skip me and I'll catch up
