A (partial) list of things other people like that I can't stand

Bruce Campbell
Special shout out to my friends Emily, ADogg and Jimmy, all of whom would repeatedly kiss this guy on the mouth and feet, were they ever to meet him. I can understand liking him in an ironic, hipster kind of way, the same way people "like" Journey, for example. His mugging and overacting in the "Evil Dead" movies is kind of funny, but what nobody wants to admit is that all of those movies suck. Granted, they kind of fall into that so-bad-it's good category, but once again, while that might be fine for people who like Bruce and his body of work as a kitschy joke, to celebrate the man as an artist is a little much. Take away those "Evil Dead" films, and what has he done? "Bubba Ho-Tep" was amusing, but try and name some of his other movies, ones he's in for reasons other than his pals Sam Raimi and the Coen brothers throwing him an occasional bone. "McHale's Navy"? "Serving Sarah"? Luckily, Bruce seems to have a sense of humor about his career.

2001: A Space Odyssey
There are some pretty cool images here in between eons of absolutely nothing happening. I admit I haven't seen this the whole way through, which probably taints my opinion on the matter, but it hasn't been from lack of trying. I watch all kinds of things. High school sex comedies. Bad Kung-Fu flicks. Ken Burns documentaries. A few days ago, while in bed sick, I watched "Touch of Evil", "Election", "The Treasure of Sierra Madre" and "The Karate Kid", all in the same day. So I'd like to think I can appreciate all kinds of movies. But time seems to stop when I try to watch "2001", and by the time it reaches the two-hour mark, my brain has been turned to mush. So, I've never been able to make it all the way through "2001". Too bad, I hear it's quite a movie.

Bob Dylan
Speak up, dude. You're mumbling again.

Pamela Anderson-Lee
I just never really found her attractive. Yes, even in her prime. She's not exactly hideous; I just wasn't ever too impressed. And it's not that I don't like dimwitted blondes with cartoonish upper bodies. Hell, I thought Anna Nicole Smith was hot as recently as three or four years ago. But even if I were to overlook the fact that she has Hep C, she slept with Tommy Lee AND Kid Rock and she starred in "Barbed Wire", I wouldn't be attracted to Pammy. She just looks dirty, like I'd need to cover her with delousing powder before I let her into my home. By all accounts, she's a really nice person though, and she does care a lot about animals.

90% of video games released after the late '90s
The newest gaming console I own is a beat-up Playstation 2, and I have a grand total of three games for that; the last three installments of the "NBA 2K" series. Other than the occasional sports game, I haven't really been big into videogames since the heyday of the Nintendo 64. Usually if I'm with a big group of people and they end up playing "Halo", I'm the guy who goes outside for a cigarette and resigns himself to the fact that he might be very bored for the next couple of hours.

Baseball
I single-handedly dispel the myth that Latinos are good at beisbol.

Jagermeister
I'm not a big drinker or anything, but there's certain things I'll drink and there's certain things you couldn't pay me to sip. And then, there's Jagermeister. It's like drinking cough syrup, only if you drink enough of it, you'll get throwed. Only I heard that happens with cough syrup, too. In fact, while undoubtedly safer than drinking large amounts of cough syrup, the rest of the Jagermeister experience could likely be simulated by taking a little Robutussin to the head.

The Beatles
Just kidding!
