I'm supposed to like sweet potatoes, but I don't. I don't know why I don't, because I like potatoes cooked just about every other way. I just don't eat sweet potatoes, and it's been so long since I had one that I forget why I don't like them.

My country. I just happened to fall out of a uterus around these parts. No hard feelings but I don't really care for it. Could've been way worse though.
+1 on the GoT thing, and I'm sure many other shows that people keep telling me to watch.
Birthday parties. They're awkward. I'd much rather get drunk with friends with no occasion. Feels more meaningful.
King Diamond. Yeah yeah yeah. Good voice, whatever. I just don't like the sound of him.
Social media attention. Do I care what Melissa thinks about the immigration policy? No. Then why would her opinion on a picture I took suddenly concern me? The approval of strangers is meaningless to me, so the amount of likes is too.

You haven't had my sweet potato pie yet. 
And yes, I know that yams are a specific type of sweet potato or are somehow "different" or whatever.
But, not really.
Bottom line is: You will love it.

I've never et any sweet potato pie, yams, or other sweet tubers that I've cared for. But if it's yours no doubt it's delicious. 
It's got to be better than Gramma's, because that was crap with melted marshmallows on top.

BBT doesn't have a canned laugh track though, it's a studio audience...
I wonder if it's difficult to find people who will laugh so hard at that shit.

Nope. Seen some interesting clips online, but nah....fuck that.
Too many folks like it for my taste. 
ALSO:
Starbucks's/coffee in general
Jason Mraz
Wait, people actually like Jason Mraz? I thought any such claims were sarcasm, much like people liking Nickleback.

I've got an edge. Secret, secret recipe.
No one's ever turned my sweet potato pie down.
It's just not possible.

Charlie Chaplin. I can see how he was a comedic genius and groundbreaking in all the ways that people say. I just never found him funny.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
