Watching TV (shows, news, sports), and spending hours per day on social media. It's all propaganda at this point. It's all designed to dumb you down.

I'm all over onions. Put those fuckers in almost everything!

Onions got a three-tool game. They are great on stuff raw, grilled, or fried.

They ruin everything they come into contact with. What's wrong with you people!!

This might be regional, but hiking. My wife and her family loves hiking. They can hike for hours. In any conditions. Heat, cold, high altitude... doesn't matter. After 10 minutes I get pretty tired of walking for the sake of walking.

Peanut butter.

Steak. It's a texture thing for me. Grind it up and I will devoure it. I feel the same about think chicken. It needs to be thin.

I'm definitely a dark chocolate person. I find a regular Hershey's milk chocolate bar practically inedible.
Dark Chocolate comes in degrees of bitterness, I get that, but whatever mix the Lindt dark chocolate has, that's the best.

Lindt is high end chocolate compared to Hershey's. Their milk chocolate is amazing as well.
Wax beans. My Dad was a kid of the 50's. Everything was in cans. I despise canned vegies.

I'd rather eat no chocolate than dark chocolate.

Dark Chocolate with almonds are amazing! I used to hate Dark Chocolate, but the more I tried it the more it grew on me.

Rare to medium-well stake. I want my meat to be cooked, and taste like it's cooked. If I see pink, I am not eating that. (i'll let myself out now :| :\).

Pretty much anything labelled as "artisan" or which has been "curated."
On the onion issue, I think they smell great (especially when they're being grilled), and I love me a good onion ring (along as it's not too think). But the worst thing in the world is when you're eating something and you get a random sliver or piece of diced onion that you aren't expecting.

Hah!
The onions are my wife's. She loves them. And speaking of carriage corrals, we went to BJ's last week. After loading the stuff into the car, I gently placed the carriage into an end stop nudged against the curb. She was like, don't leave that there. It might hit someone's car. So she grabs the carriage and walks way the hell over to the corral. And on the way, she grabbed another. WTF? :lol

You and me. It's a joke in my family that I should be called "Cebby", short for "cebula", polish for "onion". I don't eat them like apples or anything, and I'm not a huge fan if they are raw, but if I'm cooking, I'll usually start with a saute of diced onions. I put onions in my ground beef, on my sandwiches, in tuna fish, in my guac. I'll saute onions in sherry or madiera and butter to eat with my steaks...
What I don't like: Diet soda in any form. Or sweet tea.
EDIT: Cauliflower. IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR POTATOES OR PIZZA CRUST! :) :) :)

Avocado. Just the thought of eating this disgusting slimy, mushy crap makes me want to vomit.
Absolute first thing I thought of. Can’t stand it in any form. People always act shocked when I say I can’t stand avocado or guacamole. I can’t stand onions either, but can at least tolerate them if they’re cooked and chopped small, or in powder form.
Other things:

I wanted to post that I hate hold music that gets interrupted every few seconds by some annoying voice telling me how important I am to the company I am calling. But again, does anyone like that? I think not.
The onion thing has me LOL. I had a family member who absolutely hated onions and garlic and spices of any kind. I'm like, WTF does he even eat? :lol

Smoke on the Water.
That was me for literally decades. Then my bandmates wanted to play it. I didn't put up too much of a fuss, and went ahead and learned it. Doing so really made me look at the song in a whole new light and appreciate it. It is a BLAST to play/sing. I'm not arguing that anyone who doesn't like it should do so in order to learn to appreciate it. As I have said in other threads, people are and should be free to like or dislike whatever music they choose, and I don't really get the sentiment of trying to make somebody do something to like a song they don't like. I'm just saying that that is what happened with me.

Raisins could go on the list too, so covering them with chocolate just makes things worse.
Chunky "bars"? I don't know what varieties exist, but all I remember is that a Chunky is basically a Duplo block of solid chocolate, and I'm not a fan of solid chocolate. I need some nougat and/or krispies and/or caramel. Just no fruit

Yes, that's exactly what they are. With raisins and peanuts. SO good! I haven't had one in ages.
I think there was a time when they experimented with a few other varieties as well, but I don't remember for sure.

American football. It's a mediocre rugby match stretched out over 3 hours.
Compared to Rugby, it's like flag football.
You want real men, watch Rugby. Not this soft, NFL, crap. :biggrin:
Wow! As someone who sacrificed his body playing American football through college there is nothing further from the truth. In fact, in the early 20th century American football was nearly permanently banned in the US, because players were dying and left maimed and crippled..Universities were encouraged to ban football and play rugby instead, and many did.
Most people fail to realize that when players wear pads and helmets the violence and collisions are much greater and more intense. So, it's anything but soft. Trust me...
But to each their own. It's frustrating though when people who have never played American football make generalized assumptions.
For me, I cannot stand tomatoes. It gets worse the older I get. When I was a kid, we'd eat tomatoes off of the vine. They were delicious. Most tomato varieties now are designed to allow the fruit to stay off the vine for longer periods of time without going rotten. But what efficiencies the farmer's and grocers got by doing this they exchanged and sacrificed flavor and quality.
Also, Guns n Roses. I have never been a fan. I have tried. They are a glorified garage band at best in my opinion.
Toss in Kid Rock too..I think he's a talentless hack who got lucky, AND who obviously has compromising photos of some record executive somewhere.
Also, ANY entertainment television show..I do not care what outfit Cardi B took off in some strip club..What color Billie Eilish dyes her hair, or the name of Meryl Streeps dog. I know a number of celebrities. They aren't as exciting as most people make them out to be. I can't stand hearing about things that have no bearing on anything really. I have never understood the obsession. Appreciate the art, talent, athletic ability or whatever. The idolization, especially in the US, is disturbing to me..

Since someone brought up fruit... fruit in salad. If you aren't a vegetable (and even then I am picky), dressing, or bacon bits, get out of my salad bowl.
And regarding chocolate, I dislike dark chocolate, but would have that injected directly in to my bloodstream over eating white chocolate.

I think they only do the one variety now.

I almost wrote that myself. Maybe they are or aren't exciting, but for me, it's the casualness. Most of those shows are hosted by what I consider to be parasites and hanger's on, and the way they present these celebrities as "friends" and imply that we do (and should) know them at that level is frankly kind of nauseating. I know for me, if we were REALLY friends, we wouldn't give a rat's ass about most of the things being discussed.

Personal pickup trucks, especially the monster variety.
Almost always are they not towing or hauling anything but the jerk behind the wheel to the Cracker Barrel. Like Jim Gaffigan says: "No one with pickup trucks is picking anything up! It's like walking around with a big empty suitcase." That's what I tell 'em. Real nice empty suitcase you got there. They are super manly though with their SIX BLUE XENON HID BULB HEADLAMPS pointed straight into the peasants in the economy cars' retinas.

I went back and forth with the idea of getting a pickup truck with a crew cab. To be honest, I just really wanted the space, both inside and out. I wanted something that I could just throw a grill in, or a bunch of RC trucks, or golf bags, or gardening shit every spring, or a chair, or camping stuff. I'm not a contractor, but there are probably 30+ instances a year when I'm doing something with my SUV and say to myself "man, I wish this was a pick up". Ideally I'd have an SUV and a beater Tacoma on the side, but I'm not going to insure a second vehicle that I really only need a handful of times a year.

I think this description fits a LOT of people, myself included. The suitcase analogy is kinda dumb, honestly, since a pickup truck performs multiple functions. You don't NEED to be utilizing every function every time you take it out of the driveway.

I drove 4 cylinder cars all my life. For 36 years that all I drive. I finally got a 6 cylinder truck. A GMC Canyon. I got the kid to tow in case. I'll never go back to small cars. It's roomier in my old age.

I have a pickup as a second car. A while ago (when the kids got to be in middle school) I realized that we needed three cars, in case one is in the shop, one is used by one of the kids, etc. So I bought a (cheap) Dodge full size pickup.
My car insurance is based (in part) on miles driven, and oddly, my pickup is frequently NOT the least driven car in my "fleet". I use it a fair amount, going to the dump, building my deck, moving things for my in-laws... I also have a trailer for my riding mower/snow blower, and that's what I use to pull it. It's paid for, and I have the bare minimum in insurance and it's been a life-saver.

So how do you know you don’t like it then?
I’ll agree on the iced coffee. That stuff is disgusting.

I only drink Iced coffee when I'm really parched and never in the morning. I have to have hot coffee in the mornings.
I also like flavored ice coffees but not in my hot coffee.

So how do you know you don’t like it then?
I actually thought about that when I posted (reminds me of a line from George Carlin's "Fussy Eater" bit: "HOW do you know you don't like it IF you've never even tried it?" "IT CAME TO ME IN A DREAM!"). I've tasted coffee flavored things, and nothing about those or the smell of coffee leads me to believe I'd like it.
-
I don't think the "coffee flavored" is a good indicator, because a lot of those kinds of things either have little to do with actual coffee flavor, or have other flavors that modify it significantly. On the other hand, if you don't like the smell of actual coffee, that probably is a good indicator.
-
To Bosk's point, I drink anywhere from one to three cups of coffee a day, and that will often include a cup of decaf after dinner with a sweet.
Having said that, I strongly dislike ANYTHING coffee flavored: I don't like coffee flavored ice cream, I don't like iced coffee, and I don't like the sort of "flavored" drinks at Starbucks and Dunkin.
I do take my coffee with milk no sugar; the milk takes any edge that might be there and files it right down.

That's like having something that's "banana flavored". If that's all I had to go on, I'd never eat bananas, which I love.

My maternal grandfather would peal and eat white onions raw, and wash it down with a cup of buttermilk. He lived to be 99. :lol

Gregg, you grandfather should have had batter as well. Just short of an onion ring. :lol

My maternal grandmother would do similar things. Also, peanut butter and onion sandwiches.
She would also eat a turnip like an apple.
She was pretty fucking hardcore.

Where's the barf emoji?
I worked at Carl's Jr. for about 4-5 months when I was 17. We had a salad bar, and one thing in the salad bar was cole slaw. We "made" it by dumping a big bag of vegetables in a bin and then dumping a jug of dressing on top and mixing it together (by hand if memory serves me correctly). Worst smell I can recall. Could never understand how anyone could eat it.
On the coffee thing, after a while, I figured it wasn't worth trying because I didn't really need another food-related vice.

Down here slices of tomatoes and onions are still considered a side a some places.

My maternal grandmother was pretty hardcore too! She could rip an apple in half with her bare hands. I don't know if that's why grandpa ate raw onions, but it probably had something to do with it.

Good coleslaw is bad ass. Good coffee is bad ass. Onions, insofar as vegetables go, are bad ass. Tomatoes suck, but I've grown to at least tolerate them in certain circumstances.

Iced coffee is great on a hot summer afternoon. Needs to be a little sweeter than I normally drink hot coffee (1/2 a sweetner pack in a large cup). I love flavored coffees (I get 'em cheap at Winners/Marshalls), and also have a couple of bottles of flavor syrups (brown sugar and cinnamon... yum!!) for the occasional use.

Vietnamese iced coffee is bad ass. The stuff you get from Starbucks, not so much.

4 pages and no Kotow? Anyone else worried?

I think he's still making his list.

Coleslaw is good if the mayo is barely there. Vinegar and mustard based coleslaws are the bees knees.

He's still researching every breed of dog to list down.

Damn, we are a match. All of this is on point. Iced coffee without some sweetness or chocolate or caramel or whatever just doesn't quite work. Not the same as a hot black coffee which is fine without any sweetness in there. I love my mocha's on the weekends too and usually a flavoured coffee is my go to over a black coffee. I like my frappuccino's too over strict iced coffee. I like a bit of calories and body if I'm having a cold coffee drink.

Wasn't sure whether this should go in the "mildly irritating" thread, or this one, but this one was higher up the page, so...
Facebook posts that go:
"Does anybody know what this is?
[insert pic of a hand-crank meat grinder, sparkplug gauge, or some other random thing that kids and young adults today wouldn't recognize]
Like and share if you do (but don't say what it is!)."
These annoy me to no end. Maybe I'm overreacting, but it feels to me like people who do that feel the need to be validated for being old, which is stupid. To me, this type of post has three strikes against it right off the bat:
1. I don't care for your air of moral superiority, even over something so trivial. And if you post these, there is a high likelihood that you post plenty of other things that have made me kind of regret accepting your friend request through the years.
2. If you demand that I like and share anything, I'm not going to, just to spite you. It's pretty rare that I "like&share" anyway, but you just assured that I will not.
3. Why not say what it is? If people don't know what it is, why not take the opportunity to educate them? Wouldn't that be more fun that just reposting something? :dunno:
4. (Yes, I can count to three. This is a bonus peeve) The spelling, grammar, and punctuation are probably glaringly bad, which makes me question why you liked and shared it. If you truly liked it, you probably should have proof read it and edited it before sharing.

A lot of people like and think they need a pickup truck. While I can't stand them as personal vehicles go. Much like cole slaw, basketball and raw onions. I play drums out with a band and not once have thought a truck is what I need.
I drove all over town today. Saw tons, 1/2 tons and 1/4 tons of personal trucks. None of them being used for "trucklike" purposes.
Last year, I asked my neighbor, who I get along well with, if I could borrow his to pick up a desk. That's when I learned he has a tonneau cover on it that they don't take off! So he has made the bed essentially useless. I've seen a similar truck dude at the furniture store who couldn't figure out his own bed cover to haul a box that wouldn't fit under it.
Why do you need more room because of old age?
-
What? That's bullshit. They roll or fold up. I have one. I think he didn't want to let you use his truck.

Food trucks and so-called street food. Nothing more than excuses to jack the prices up when the whole point should be to lower them. Newsflash: Laotians aren't paying their equivalent of 8 bucks for six dumplings on a skewer.
Someone here, I am 99% sure it was you, had a great rant a while back about food trucks. Someone in our community orders up a food truck for us a couple times every summer, and it makes people lose their minds.
THE FOOD TRUCK IS GOING TO BE HERE TONIGHT!

YOU LIVE BY WHERE THEY PARK, TEXT ME ONCE THEY GET HERE!

It's a recurring theme for me. Roping in dipshits by charging too much has always bugged me. But now you can use a product's own cheapness as an excuse to make it stupidly expensive. That just makes me insane.

This! :hifive:
Tomatoes suck, but I've grown to at least tolerate them in certain circumstances.
But not that.
Plain ole tomatoes just suck. I've found ways I tolerate them, and a few ways I really like them, though. Quite possibly the best burger in Dallas has a single slice of a marinated tomato in there, and it simply wouldn't be the same without it. And sun-dried tomatoes are certainly a net-positive in the grand scheme of things.
-
I mean, I generally don't care to make them the star of any dish. But there are a LOT of things I eat that are tomato based or have tomatoes as one player in the band (maybe just a backup singer, or that dancer off to the left of the drum riser), to where you probably wouldn't ever even think of going to see the show for the tomato, but the show would suck without it.

I'm a big fan of breakfast sandwiches; I make them myself all the time as a little treat on weekends. Good, fresh hard roll, meat (I prefer sausage or bacon, but will take ham if need be), a slice of American cheese, a fried egg over medium (you need the drip), salt and pepper... and a slice of fresh garden tomato. The tomato is what makes it for me.
My dad used to eat tomatoes like apples. Just pick them off the vine, and bite into them. Sometimes, in the summer, when I was really young I remember he'd sit out on the deck and slice it into quarters and eat them that way, with a small dollop of mayonaise on them. I could never do that; I hated tomatoes until I started liking them on burgers, then slowly expanded out. I still don't eat them plain and raw; the closest I come is a caprese salad (which I love).
-
As far as onions go, I hate them more because that is a smell you cannot get rid of if you handle them extensively. I worked for Outback Steakhouse back in the 90's, and I would occasionally work a kitchen shift, usually on the salad station or bloomin' onion station, and man, I'd eventually just throw clothes away because the onion smell would get into your clothes and hands and stay there.
-
I love me some onion rings but those 'Bloomin' Onions' were GROSS. I never understood the appeal other than they looked like a pretty way to present onion rings that weren't really onion rings.
This thread reminds me that I need to get my tomatoes planted. You can't make a decent BLT without garden tomatoes. Lot's of mayo please and don't toast that bread!
:tup

YES!

You don't like Yes? They're a pretty decent band.

A good BLT is sublime. I'm with you, too, no toast (or at least if you're going to toast, do it LIGHTLY; you've already got the crunch from the bacon and lettuce).
-
BLTs are great, of course.
I am here on behalf of the South to say that a plain tomato sandwich (bread, mayo, tomato slices, salt, pepper) is superior, IMHO. 2 of them are even better.
-
I kinda have a problem with any region whose stance is, "you can't take my guns, but I'll voluntarily hand over my bacon." That just ain't right.

Shit, I'd be a vegetarian tomorrow if I didn't have to give up bacon. :lol

Outback was done for once they had to start posting their nutritional information and calorie counts. Those Bloomin' Onions are calorie bombs, and I remember there used to be customers that would eat those as their dinners. :puke:

Amen!
All of those things annoy me. I will "like" lots of things, but I "share" very little, and anything that "demands" I share will not be shared -- ESPECIALLY if it's got glaringly bad grammar/spelling/punctuation. The other thing I see way too much of is, "Hey! Want to confuse kids today? Lock them in a room with an analog clock, a VCR and instructions written in cursive for operating the VCR and tell them they have to record a show at 8:00." As though it's some sort of character flaw that a 12-year old might not know how to work a VCR.
It's a recurring theme for me. Roping in dipshits by charging too much has always bugged me. But now you can use a product's own cheapness as an excuse to make it stupidly expensive. That just makes me insane.
It goes along with what I've written a few times: calling something "artisinal" or saying that it has been "curated" seems to be a license to double the price.

I kind of view ALL of social media as a sign of our collective insecurity, and our need to be validated. I just don't understand putting up pictures of myself, with the sole intent of having my friends, or maybe even a stranger, respond back with "WOW, just beautiful!" or the like. WTF. We keep telling ourselves in ads and in other (IMO contradictory) social media memes that we are beautiful no matter what others think, and yet, pander to that very same craving for acceptance.
This is bordering on P/R for me, because I think much of our problem in the U.S. is rooted in a systemic, massive collective insecurity, and this is but one example of that.

I'm often torn thinking about this. I'm not very active on most forms of social media, and I rarely post a picture of myself when I am. I share a lot of what I BBQ and the things I'm building at the time. Maybe I'm justifying it in my head, but I think there are differences in how, what, and why people share content on social media. I don't like being lumped in (not saying you were) with people like my sister's friend who pays for followers and devotes every waking moment to documenting her existence online. I don't share pictures of things like my RC trucks to get praise or some kind of validation from others. I share them because I'm part of a hobby, and we like seeing what everyone else is working on. It's inspirational in a way. When I'm trying to decide on paint schemes or rim/tire combinations, I love being able to turn to the thousands of examples that other people like myself also shared. I like to share what I'm doing with specific communities because others doing the same is what allowed me to grow and learn how to do a lot of cool stuff. I use social media as a knowledge transferring tool more than just about anything else.

It seems to break down completely on gender lines. A woman posts a picture of herself and you immediately get a dozen other women commenting with "Beautiful!" or "Gorgeous Lady!" A lot of times, it's a picture apparently intended to induce such a reaction, but sometimes it's not, but those comments are made nonetheless. And yet I've never once seen a bunch of guys comment on another guy's photo of himself with "what a hunk!" or "handsome gent!"

I'm not on Facebook, and have no intentions to join.
So there's 2 of you? :lol
Make it three. The only reason why I have a Facebook account is to use that to get an account on Spotify. Hate the interface. Twitter is my only form of Social Media and even then, I don't like looking at it some of the time.
Food trucks and so-called street food. Nothing more than excuses to jack the prices up when the whole point should be to lower them. Newsflash: Laotians aren't paying their equivalent of 8 bucks for six dumplings on a skewer.
Someone here, I am 99% sure it was you, had a great rant a while back about food trucks. Someone in our community orders up a food truck for us a couple times every summer, and it makes people lose their minds.
THE FOOD TRUCK IS GOING TO BE HERE TONIGHT!
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO GET?!
YOU LIVE BY WHERE THEY PARK, TEXT ME ONCE THEY GET HERE!

Yeah, checked that post. That place was certainly ripping El Barto off on the price of Bahn Mi. There are some sandwich places in Westminster, CA where if you buy 2 at that price of $8-9.00, you get a 3rd one for free.

I kind of view ALL of social media as a sign of our collective insecurity, and our need to be validated. I just don't understand putting up pictures of myself, with the sole intent of having my friends, or maybe even a stranger, respond back with "WOW, just beautiful!" or the like. WTF. We keep telling ourselves in ads and in other (IMO contradictory) social media memes that we are beautiful no matter what others think, and yet, pander to that very same craving for acceptance.
It seems to break down completely on gender lines. A woman posts a picture of herself and you immediately get a dozen other women commenting with "Beautiful!" or "Gorgeous Lady!" A lot of times, it's a picture apparently intended to induce such a reaction, but sometimes it's not, but those comments are made nonetheless. And yet I've never once seen a bunch of guys comment on another guy's photo of himself with "what a hunk!" or "handsome gent!"
I have totally done this.
You sexy beast.
I mean I get these types of comments all the time. But, then again, I am a damn handsome specimen.

Onions got a three-tool game. They are great on stuff raw, grilled, or fried.
I hate onions raw, like them grilled/cooked, and are give or take fried.
Honestly raw sliced onions on my burger beats grilled/cooked and i'm not even joking.

Red onions are good raw.

I'm weird. I absolutely despise onions, yet I like onion rings and French fried onions. If I could I'd eradicate onions from existence. I don't care how good French fried onions are.
And lima beans. Fuck those things.
Also, Billie Eilish's music is garbage. How anyone could like that boring ass drivel is beyond me. She's like the onions of music. Just why?

Indeed, her music is full of layers and has taste only true people of culture can appreciate.

They're not ripping me off. I ain't paying that much for a bahn mi. Not when this is the bahn mi by which all others in Dallas are judged:

The difference is that they're not trying to cater to trendy assholes who want their egos stroked by promises of locally grown cabbage and artisanal daikon pickled by bearded hipsters in Deep Ellum. They're catering to actual Vietnamese people.

^^ Yep, those prices seem standard here in the Little Saigon district in the OC. Except instead of buying three to get the next one free, it's only buy two. They are just good sandwiches. Love them.

The first time I heard one of her songs, my thought was, "All she does is mumble." :lol I listened to a few other songs and then heard the appeal. She manages to sneak in some really good melodies with the way she sings. I can't say I'd go out of my way to hear her stuff, but you never know, I guess. I did read that she has a new album coming out soon, so time will tell.

There was one song I heard a while back that sounded completely different than anything else she's done that didn't sound bad at all. I don't know what it was called nor am I interested enough to search it out. Bad Guy (like many other songs) won a Grammy (meaningless but still an award) and that song like everything she's done minus that anomaly sounds exactly the same or a cheap knock off of Lana Del Ray, who's another singer whose appeal I don't get. Instant repulsion. It's not even good for helping me sleep. It's so bland and boring that it pisses me off.
Childish Bandito's This is America: Another WTF from me. Horrid, horrid song. Won an award... Has Lil' Wayne won any awards? Probably.
And that was my 2008 music rant for the day. I better stop or I might get banned for arguing about subjective things.
Raw onions ruin everything. Cooked onions are pointless. They don't add flavor. Just foreign objects in my food.
Seriously though, fuck onions. And cheerios. For more than 20 years I hated Oreos too. I had a traumatic experience where I dreamt Oreos were falling into milk. I woke up with sour stomach (sulfur/rotten egg burps) and threw up. I hated Oreos ever since. Although Oreo O's was my favorite cereal. Cereal version of onion rings. I also like cookies and cream iced cream. Oreos by themselves though, no thanks. I have eaten them since, but I still steer clear. They're overrated for sure.
There are definitely more things I hate that most people like (because I'm a crotchety old man), but I'm drawing a blank.
-
I am sometimes baffled that Cheerios are so enduringly popular.

Honey Nut Cherrios is my go to cereal nowadays along with Honey Bunches Of Oats.

I thought the one Lana Del Ray album sounded good for a while, but about halfway through I got bored and turned it off. It just felt like the same dreary thing was going on in every song and nothing was really grabbing me to where I wanted to keep going or revisit it. I guess to get my fix of modern mainstream pop, I will stick with the occasional Lady Gaga song and Taylor Swift. :lol :lol

Here's a hot take for this forum.... going to concerts. I love music. It isn't as big a part of my life as it is for many of you, but it is still meaningful, and has gotten me through some hard times. I just don't get the thrill out of live shows that most everyone here seems to.

I don’t like posting in threads like this, but I’ll show you some support here. I’m not nearly as into live shows (in person, live recordings) as most of DTF. But I totally get why everyone else is.

My wife and I first starting living together in early February 1994 (she moved out to CA from Brookline, MA). One of the first things we did after she moved out here was go to see Rush on the Counterparts tour. She was not really a Rush fan, but she went because we were together. Later that year, I dutifully went with her (and another couple) to see Tori Amos. I HATED it. I think she may even have gone to a DT show with me in December 1994. Over the next several years, I went to VERY few concerts because she didn't want to go (she was never a big concert person) and because I was in law school. Starting with Rush on the Vapor Trails tour, we decided it was dumb for her to go to concerts just because I was going, and I'm not sure she's been to any concerts in the last 15 year. She's not interested in dealing with how loud they mostly are and with the crowds.
I've partially come around to that way of thinking, but it's as much age as anything else. I went to my first concert in April 1984 (I was 16 1/2). Of all the concerts I've seen in my life, probably 75% were in the ten years between 1984-94 and only 25% have been in 25+ years since then. Never say never, but I typically won't go to a concert on a work night, whereas back in the day, I couldn't have cared less.

I'm the opposite; I'm seeing more and more shows. It's relaxing to me, and it's fun. I also don't mind going by myself, so there's that.
Just this Saturday, my wife got a thing on Facebook that some dude she went to high school with was playing a local bar in his Deep Purple cover band. Turns out, the guitar player is REALLY good - Jimi Bell; something of a local hero; he played with House Of Lords and now is in Autograph - so I went. I was by myself (though I know the owner of the place) and went and sat at the bar and watched the band. Got talking with the dude next to me and a couple that were there and had a great time. A friend of mine from law school and I go to a lot of shows together (Cram has met him a couple times) but if he's not into it, I'm not necessarily staying home.
Being "alone" has advantages; I can hang if I want. I met Gary Barden that way, and got on stage with Gene Simmons that way. It blows to not have someone to share the memory with, but so be it.
I'm also noticing that shows aren't nearly as loud as they used to be. I don't know if it's regulation, or something else, but while Jimi had a full Marshall stack, the sound was pretty reasonable for a small club (I think the place fits 125 or so for a show like that).

Canned tuna fish - can't stand it. MAYBE I'll make a tuna noodle casserole once in a blue moon, but otherwise barf-o-rama.

Obviously I'm the same way. Plus, now I can afford to see good shows at cool places. I'm no longer limited to the same local haunts. That's a big plus.

They haven't been as loud for quite some time. I'm amused when somebody younger than me says "ah, man, I'd have loved to see that show," because in reality they would have absolutely hated it. Concerts have evolved with the times, and what was great in the 80s would be godawful today. I've seen a few club shows over the last couple of years that have been pretty loud, Saxon most recently, and DT will often play quite loud by modern standards, but it's really nothing like the way things used to be.

Do you avoid the concept of tuna salad entirely, or is there an alternative (this is a legit question)?

My concert history is somewhat similar. I went to tons of shows in high school, college, early to mid 20's.. I also went to tons of shows alone as well. My ex wife didn't care if I went. But being honest, I started to feel funny about having to go to shows alone. To make a long story short, she became my ex wife...
I met my current wife 6 months after I moved out, and she is not into going to concerts. And she's even less interested in me going to concerts alone coming home late at night or early morning.
She has come with me to many shows, but over the past 20 years, I really only see my truly favorite bands. Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, Alice Cooper, and UFO. If Megadeth was playing at a club in Boston, that's not happening. I'm sure if I was single or married to a metal head, it'd be cool.
I also find that going in town is a fucking hassle. I love concerts, I just hate getting to them.

Not a fan. The only way I'm going to eat tuna is probably happening in a Japanese restaurant with some wasabi and an ice cold Kirin.
But chicken salad I can totally get behind. :tup

Every concert I've been to, which is maybe one a year, I've attended solo. I don't have friends to go with, and my wife and I just agree that it's best if I go alone. I would actually prefer that over her going with me and not enjoying it (that feeling is generally not reciprocated). I always have a good time, it just never feels like it reaches the level of excitement as when I first heard about the show and bought the tickets.

Interesting - I like tuna out of a can enough but I don't like fresh tuna steak. Too dry....yuck.
Of course it's entirely possible that I don't know how to cook tuna steak. :loser:

Parking. If I could change any one thing about concerts generally, it would be parking. The only place that is decent for that is the theater i go to in Ridgefield (it's literally in the Ridgefield Town Hall) so I will drive down, get a hoagie, drive up to the place before the parking attendants get there (or if they are there, I slip them a fiver) and park. Usually I am within 75 feet of the front door. Next best is shows in NYC, where I park in one of the lots near McSorley's (if the show is downtown Manhattan) or near my office (if the show is midtown).

I can't stand getting ripped off paying to park, but the parking lot is one of the best features of hitting a show. IF we leave ourselves less that 40 minutes in the parking lot, we done majorly fucked up.

That's one of the drawbacks of going alone; I never feel weird being by myself, except when cruising the parking lot. Tailgating is also less of a thing in the City. For Gov't Mule, though, we got a couple beers, a New Haven pizza, and hung in the lot and had a good time; the car next to us had been there for three days from Buffalo. They were a trip. :)
