Gathering of the Heretics Union Local #447

I am dedicating this post (and its comments) to the pursuit of a single goal: confession of our daily heresies, the small ones we all carry as members of modern society, without guilt or shame or fear of retribution. Note that anonymous posting has not been enabled, in the interest of all of us embracing our heretical stances and not cowering from our differences—or, dare I say, our similarities.

I will begin: *deep breath*


Lord of the Rings is boring.

Tori Amos's best album was From the Choirgirl Hotel. Liz Phair's was Whip-Smart.

Ice cream and cake have no business being on the same plate together, ever. Also, chocolate syrup trumps hot fudge any day of the week.

Eliot's "The Wasteland" is pretentious twaddle. So is Infinite Jest.

Beer is marginally drinkable at best, swill at worst.

Sammy Hagar was a better Van Halen lead singer than David Lee Roth, and had Gary Cherone stuck around, he might have beaten them both.


*another cleansing breath* Your turn. (Please note that flaming the brave confessors will not be tolerated. Thank you.)

Might as well open big;

* Moxie is the best kind of soda.

* I love motorcycles, but I do not understand the Cult of Harley.

* I don't see the point of porn. The degradation of strangers (anyone, really) does nothing for me. If I'm horny, I see my options as get together with a partner or take a cold shower. Self-control is *much* easier than trying to pretend that a bunch of bored porn stars that I wouldn't want in my neighborhood let alone bed are actually into whatever they're doing.

* I don't like movies with gunfights, explosions, and blood unless it's so over the top that it's obviously (or hopefully, anyway) meant to be ridiculous... and the older I get, the less even my sense of humor can get me through them.

* I love a good fantasy novel, but people who think magic is still real after they've put the book down creep me way the hell out.

* I think drivers engaged in any activity in addition to driving should have it ticketable as a moving violation. Phone calls, texting, eating food, tending infants, and so on are all major distractions. Pull over or stay home, the minutiae of your life are not worth the safety and lives of those around you.

Opinions stated in this post are solely those of the poster, your mileage will almost certainly vary, misuse only as misdirected, and I probably don't like your opinion either. And that's OK.
