Fifty Plus (50+) - OT--Deep, Dark Secrets

I was working out at the gym last night, and a Shania Twain song comes blasting out of the speakers. To my shock and horror, I actually liked the song. Thank you for allowing me to unburden myself by confessing this to you all.

Who's next?

I was in a hurry the other day and there is a McDonald's right next to where I park. I rarely eat there, but popped in and noticed they had a new item, the Southern Style Chicken sandwich. I tried it and must admit that I liked it - although it could have used a bit more seasoning.

Now that I have confessed, I still don't feel good about it.

Shania Twain and a McDonalds sandwich.......................................................This is not exactly AA stuff here. Can you picture a meeting. "Hi, My names Tom and I ate a chicken sandwich at McDonalds."

At least JT's hanging around the Gym at night trying to get into real trouble!

:notamused:

I was listening to a local pop radio station and heard a catchy little tune, sang the chorus and thought it wasn't too bad...it was Miley Cyrus. :eek:

What happened to my discriminating taste in music? I want it back!

That'll be $500 for the ticket.

It's not totally off topic. Shania reportedly is a Bag Balm user. :p

Hi, my name is Mono, and I have two toes on my right foot that get numb after about 3 miles. There, I've confessed. I'm glad I came to this meeting of NTA (Numb Toes Anonymous).

And not like it's anyone's business, but a couple of times a month I go to McD at lunch, pick up a #2 meal (the two small cheeseburgers and fries) with a Diet Coke, and go home and eat in my recliner while watching the History Channel.

I have Sheb Wooley's "Purple People Eater" on my MP3 player. And "Badger Badger Badger" and "Llama Llama Duck" and the George of the Jungle theme song (the original cartoon one).

A real sicko has come forth!

I visited Mickey D's last week and I got a Happy Meal. I still haven't figured out what the toy was supposed to be. I gave it to one of the granddaughters when they were here a couple days ago.

I love Shania, I'm not ashamed, and she's split from Mutt, so she's available again. :)

And in 8 years, she can join our forum, too. Pretty hot for 42, huh?

Oh, and I eat Goober Grape peanut butter and jelly out of the jar. There, I've said it....

Lets see - share my deep dark secrets on the internet where Homeland Security can pick them out and spirit me off in the dead of night to Guantanimo or some such place? Naw, I think I'll keep them safely buried.

Enjoy your chicken sandwich.

I once liked an Air Supply song. I feel so cheap and tawdry

Are they the ones who sing, "I'm all out of love, what am I without you..."?

OMG! What have I started.:eek:

Yes they are the ones and OH MY I CAN"T STAND IT. It did have a catchy little piano riff in there but thats not the song.

I use real butter. Can't stand that yellowish petrochemical goo.

I also read manga.

I actually own a CD called "Baseball's Greatest Hits"

I own a LP that has many of those same songs on it. It predates the CD.

It's pretty great, isn't it!

Actually, I think using that yellowish petrochemical goo would be a deep dark secret.

OK here's mine.... I spend way too much time at this computer. :o :twitchy: :crash: :geek:

I don't think I'd a told that one. :eek:

What margarines are made out of petrochemicals?

The one I use is made out of olive & soybean oils.

I look forward, upon awakening, to reading this forum. It sometimes requires three cups of coffee.

I voted for Marissa. Lots of times.

Has anyone got a copy of the "Pocket full of Quarters" song from the Pacman album?

I'm goin to the arcade.

I actually own a CD called "Baseball's Greatest Hits"

I own a cd given free with a motorcycling magazine. It's of the exhaust note of various motorcycles, old and new. I play it loud when I'm alone. I'm not ashamed.

Thanks for the confessional. I feel better now - strangely purged.

Tom: Mickey D's new Southern style chicken sandwich (and breakfast biscuit) is a direct rip off of the sandwiches sold by Chick Fil A. Find one of those restaurants and taste the original. 1000 times better than McD's! It's interesting - Chick Fil A does not advertising other than occasionally sending out coupon and they do much better business (relatively speaking) than McD. They have a simple but excellent menu.

OK dark secret... I really don't have any. Most of my sins are well known and "published". It is well known I use real butter and I like bacon and other things bad for you. I listen to all sorts of music including country and show tunes.

And I don't think it's a secret that I spend way too much time on this forum...

=sigh= I am an open book! :o

I actually own a CD called "Baseball's Greatest Hits"

I own, and sometimes listen to, CDs by perhaps the world's worst singer:

http://www.scena.org/columns/lebrecht/050831-NL-demodiscs.html

"Many in the record industry remember the Russian count, Numa Labinsky, who founded Nimbus in a Welsh castle with the aim of enshrining an authentic style of singing. Under the pseudonym Shura Gehrman, he sang on three releases whose jackets proclaimed his 'astonishing command of vocal technique.' To hear Numa smear his way around a Schubert song was treat enough, but to experience his Arie Antiche sung entirely in falsetto ran some way beyond the surreal: he could not, one felt, be serious."

His English-language recordings of Schubert songs have to be heard to be disbelieved. A gravel-voiced old man half-shouting "A young man has to leave his mill and wander", anyone?

Tom: Mickey D's new Southern style chicken sandwich (and breakfast biscuit) is a direct rip off of the sandwiches sold by Chick Fil A.

Yes, I know this. But we have only one Chick Fil A restaurant in Wisconsin and it is over 100 miles from me.

I've eaten at them from time to time when traveling. Most recently in March in Chapel Hill, NC.

I guess I could make it a goal to ride a double century to go get a chicken sandwich!

I went to the NASCAR Allstar race this past Saturday night..........enough said.

Each time I click on this thread, I'm afraid that I will read someone admit that they watch professional wrestling.

I have a nearly complete collection of Red Dwarf including original versions of the first episodes. :eek:

... I also read manga.

Do you really read it, or just look at the pictures?

At one poor point in my life, we couldn't afford cable, no TV got into our valley and we hadn't discovered the video collections of the library, and for about 6 months all we had to watch was Red Dwarf. Most all of our other videos were on Beta. :twitchy: ;)

I love Sister Wendy, the Art Nun.

Yodeling the Classics by Maria Schneider (http://www.amazon.com/Yodeling-Classics-Vol-1/dp/B00004R7U4). I actually bought this... and listen to it occasionally. :innocent:

But Jim Nabors, (aka Gomer Pyle) can actually SING!

He's actually spent more of his career as a singer than an actor.

I can see (hear) Shatner singing Lucy, but Andy Griffith on House of the Rising Sun? O. M. G. :twitchy:

In my world, a romantic evening involves sitting on the couch watching "Desperate Housewives" with my stoker.

At one poor point in my life, we couldn't afford cable, no TV got into our valley and we hadn't discovered the video collections of the library, and for about 6 months all we had to watch was Red Dwarf. Most all of our other videos were on Beta. :twitchy: ;)

Sad to say, I have never hear of Red Dwarf... and I'm a sci fi fan! :twitchy:

If I told my darkest secret, I'd be banned from the board and someone would likely sneak into my garage in the middle of the night and take my bike away.
