Matter of fact, I don't like anything with melted cheese. I'll probably be banned for this blatant rejection of The American Way.
My kids call me UnAmerican because I'm not fond of pizza or hot dogs

My mother simply called me stubborn because as a kid I would eat cheeseburgers but not hamburgers.

Not for me they don't

I almost got my butt spanked for that little episode but thankfully we were in a public restaurant and my mother only threatened to kill me later

Cmon, you know you love it
A lot has changed since the 70s, but Disco still sucks.

Hello, my name is Card. I just got back from Cancun and there will be no more imports of Tequila into the United States until 2010.

I'm eating Bearitos Low-Fat Vegetarian Organic Refried Black Beans right out of the can. Please don't tell my mother. I'm also adding a touch of class by using a real glass to drink a pretty decent Pinot Noir.

I wore lycra cycling shorts for the first time ever this past week.

I also wore REI khaki cargo shorts ... at the same time.

I will leave it to your imagination as to which one was under and which was over.

Went to a live show in '90, saw how much fun the wrestlers were having, putting on their show; it was a PARTY! None of them took it seriously, and it was so relaxed....

Now, to the thing I'm embarrassed/ashamed to admit, and will only do here:

I get teary-eyed at the end of Armageddon, the part where Bruce Willis says goodbye to his daughter. Every time.

Here goes. Please be gentle with me.
I like Dr. Laura. My husband and I read her books, and they've been great for our marriage.

Requesting permission to shake the hand of the daughter of the bravest man I've ever met.

You watch TV in the raw every Monday night? Or do you ride your bike raw every Monday?

Must admit that I don't know what "RAW", "DX", or "Shawn Michaels" means.
