All the winning we're experiencing under Trump. One grows tired of being reminded just how right we were about our initial appraisal of the WLB.

RE: Things you're supposed to like, but don't
As a geeky nerd, The Big Bang Theory. I've never watched a full episode, and what I have seen seems incredibly forced. Also: Dr. Who. I just can't get into it. Also: Harry Potter. Also: zombie anything.

As a gamer, a ton of AAA titles. I dislike shooters in general. CoD, Battlefield, etc. Same with MOBAs. Same with most online-anything. I thought The Last of Us was an incredibly mediocre game, saved only by stellar voice acting.

Living where I do, country music. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me. It's either watered down rock with a southern twang, or it's actually pop, or it's the old school shit that's all slide guitar and nasal voices. Add Lynyrd Skynyrd to the list, too. Puke.

Coffee. Smells bad, tastes bad, never needed caffeine to make it through a day.

Pineapples. It's a texture thing. Same with meat cooked rare. Same with anything that's supposed to have a 'silky mouth feel'. All feels like post-nasal drip to me.

Not even "Lark's Tongue in Aspic"?

Can't watch anything with a laugh track.

BBT doesn't have a canned laugh track though, it's a studio audience...

I love music that mixes technique and emotion -- Rush does that for me, some Yes, Eric Johnson ... but KC just leaves me high and dry. Don't get me wrong, I can admire their technical precision, but emotionally the music does nothing for me. I feel much the same way about artists like Steve Vai or Yngwie Malmsteen, Flatt and Scruggs, Pat Metheny. or any number of others who have clearly achieved mastery over their instruments, and are determined to demonstrate it every possible moment.

Thump, if you've not heard of him, you may like Jessie Cook. He's a Canadian Flamenco guitarist who bleeds passion across his strings.
