Gathering of the Heretics Union Local #447

[slipjig3]

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.)

Mr. Pibb and red vines is NOT crazy delicious, but miso paste and strawberry jam on sourdough toast is.

The Lakers/Dodgers/whatever-team-from-whatever-sport are not gods and are not even mildly interesting, except for the All Blacks.

Tim Burton is a one-trick pony & his version of Sweeney Todd was an abomination.

Harold & Maude is the best movie ever made.

Will Ferrel, Adam Sandler, and Seth Rogan are not that funny.

Catcher in the Rye and the Twilight series are both poorly written and the main characters are not tortured or angsty, just whiny and annoying.

Stephen King's best book was "On Writing."

The Misfits: Michael Graves was a better singer than Glenn Danzig.

Bob Dylan's music is nigh unlistenable (unless covered by someone else).

Cyndi Lauper is way more impressive than Madonna.

I second slipjig on Hagar, elionwyr on Taco Bell, and mnfiddledragon on microwave popcorn.

I was gonna say Bob Dylan. The man cannot sing a note, for Christ's sake. Johnny Cash, too.

If you make the Bom-buppa-bom-buppa noise nasally for a moment, everyone will recognize Johnny Cash's only riff.

Springsteen has similar problems in that he's a better writer than singer.
