just file this under "foodie" imo. nothing wrong with the food - people have been eating it for decades - everything wrong with food trends and the people who propagate them.

i love any thread that allows me to show my true curmudgeonly ways, so here are mine:

192. the fact that 1 our of 4 people who are in their 20s/30s and live in a metropolitan area is a "DJ". Add to that the fact that these self-proclaimed DJs often play music that can't be beatmatched, so they are basically just crossfading new age, krautrock, or whatever the latest bargain bin music fad is) in front of an audience of 20 people and walking around claiming to all their friends that they are a DJ.

192. Twitter and all associated verbs

193. Acceptance of trashy reality television by people who know better.

194. Beards. And it sucks, because I wear a beard. I have had a beard for most of this decade, and I feel naked and weird every time I try to shave it.

I love krautrock djs who don't beatmatch, but oh how I wish it was a bargain bin fad!

I wish I lived in a metropolitan area. I would go to these bars with DJs playing bargain bin music. It sounds funny.

I had a friend who grew a beard over the summer between eighth grade and ninth. We were awed. I bet all the young dudes with beards have all the same excuses for wearing beards that you have.

195. Mott the Hoople references

I love krautrock djs who don't beatmatch

And I like DJs with good record collections, too, and don't give a shit if they can beatmatch or DJ well. I like music nerds.

Mr. Que totally making this thread.

What's an RTer? Maybe I am one of those.

182. vinyl being more expensive than cds

Was always this way. Ten years ago it would just be sold at a slimmer profit margin.

Mr. Que, I will never say your name in my head as Mr. Queue.

naw when cds first came out they were like 25 bucks

192. the fact that 1 our of 4 people who are in their 20s/30s and live in a metropolitan area is a "DJ".

10000x worse if the "DJ" happens to be a celebrity of some kind

it's pronounced queue

xp - as opposed to people that get paid to crossfade top 40 pop songs, alt rock, and whatever else gets played on the radio? Those people are called DJ's, aren't they?
