How do you hear that and not want to clap and sing along? I cannot. While I don't actively seek out these songs [for example, I have not purchased them on iTunes], I always listen to them when the come on the radio. And they are on the radio a surprisingly lot. They are fun and silly and you get to clap! During the song! It's like Bingo but for grown ups!
Cheese fries.
I am an unrepentant cheese snob. I love artisanal cheeses and trying different types of smoked Gouda and generally have about 12 different types of cheese in my fridge on a given day. I LOVE cheese. Growing up, we had feta and kalamata olives as a snack, and I have a favorite kind of feta [Greek - I love how it crumbles and how tangy and salty it is. Bulgarian is o.k., and French is fine but a bit bland.]. The cheese lady at the market knows me and I spent a ridiculous amount of time talking to her about the right cheese for the right meal. I've even been to Cheese Haven! 125 different kinds of cheese!
All this to tell you that I love cheese fries. LOVE THEM. And not the fancy white cheddar and colby topped or blue cheese laden potato wedges. No. I love cheese fries with that gloppy radioactive yellow sauce. Every time I go to a coney island, I get them. It's kind of disgusting, but I need them. If I don't get them, then I'm really sad. Like a kitty died. Like I MISS them. Like my life is incomplete.
Giovanni Ribisi.
I find him scarily sexy and unbelievably attractive. And the sad thing is, the more that he acts like he's mentally deficient [i.e. as Phoebe's brother on Friends] the more attracted I am. Objectively, it's kind of disgusting. The husband finds it insulting - "How can find THAT guy attractive and me attractive? What does that say about me?" Actually, I think it says less about him than it does about the vast diversity in my attractions. I'm equal opportunity, baby.
Come on, give it up. What's your secret shame?
I like good cheese. I like tasty cheesy-products. It's all good.
ReplyDeleteBut I am not attracted to men that I am pretty sure I could break in half with one hand. So, you can have whatshisname.
I like the Steve Miller Band, too. Prime high school flashback music. My shame is that I feel the same way about maybe 65% of The Eagles music. I know it is uncool to like The Eagles, but all that California Mellow Shit was my high school soundtrack.
My immediate answer is, Andy Gibb. As I actually said to a college friend recently, "There's so much Andy Gibb, and so little time to listen to him." She made me a tshirt that says that. A tshirt that I can't wear.
ReplyDeleteI will have to think on the rest. I think you're onto a great topic here.
To be continued.....
I have no secret shame. All of my guilty plesures are right out there where EVERYBODY can see them. Smutty books (ok so maybe these are kinda hidden, just so my son doesn't see them), vampires & the like, shoes, chocolate, salty snacks, Taco Bell, pizza, Greek, Indian, Mexican (TB is not Mexican, not really), Italian food, Starbucks, margaritas, red wine, 80's music & movies. Deep fried, Cheese on a stick at Cedar Point. Roller coasters.
ReplyDeletewow, that is so hard. If I want to do, say, eat, try something, I just do. I guess I reached the age of I don't give a rat's rear what people think.
ReplyDeleteAlthoug I got a major kick out of singing the Rubber Ducky Song with Ernie while watching Sesame Street with my grandson today.
I'm just a weirdo and proud of it!
KathyR - A kindred cheese spirit! As to the Eagles . . . wow. I get the whole high school soundtrack, but I can't get behind that.
ReplyDeleteAlyson - Thanks! I LOVE that you love Andy Gibb. That is fantastic. And your friend made you a tshirt? Wear it with PRIDE [under a sweatshirt].
GrandeMocha - Good for you! I need to be better about being OUT THERE. [ps I love a lot of those things, too!]
Renee - I can just picture you singing Rubber Ducky! It's a great song. And good for you for not caring. Excellent.

So totally with you on the Cheese Fries. And the greek feta. Not so much on the Italian guy, though. And now there is a Crate and Barrel truck RIGHT outside my house and I'm sitting here in disappointment because he went to the neighbors door and not mine. This would be understandable had I actually ordered anything from Crate and Barrel, which I did no. But really I should be tweeting this and annoying the whole entire world, not just you. Sorry for that. Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post topic.
ReplyDeleteOK, how about my crush on Jeff Goldblum when he was in "The Fly"? That's very shameful.
Chicken - Aren't cheese fries the BEST? I missed my opportunity to have some today and I'm STILL regretting it. Thanks for loving my blog and I didn't find your comment at all annoying, but I appreciate how you'd want to let the world know what you're thinking.
ReplyDeleteWendi. Thanks, but! Oh, Wendi. Jeff Goldblum is just as shameful as my lust for Giovanni Ribisi. I totally understand.
