Weird stuff I like...

Reveal some of the things that set you apart from the crowd!



I don't like soft towels.  I hate it when they have had fabric softener put in with them in the wash.  I like scratchy towles.  The sensation of all those little sticky-out scratchy bits of cotton on my skin is almost, well, you get the picture...

I love SPAM. I eat it several times a week, most weeks. I can't understand why so many people (including all of my family) go "yuck!" at the idea of SPAM.

Yuck...

I like posters. But not the ones you buy, those are boring. I love those posters you find glued on the street, mostly for some parties or concerts. I've actually become a master of taking them of. I can take almost any poster of, without tearing it apart.

Back home I had around twenty or thirty of them, but I gave them all away, when I moved to Germany. Now I'm starting a new collection right now.

Here is my favourite one:

I can relate - I like to scrub the skin on my face hard - I actually use a kitchen scrubbie.  It has a sponge on one side, and that Scotch-dish-scrubber (the white one, but the green one is okay, too) stuff on the other.

I used to use "buff puffs" but they are too soft ... I like a dish-scrubber better. 

(and to think, that some folk pay good money for skin "exfoliation" treatments ... *bahh* )

yeahhhhh a rough bath towel anytime ... it makes it easy to scratch an itchy back .

[Griffin NoName]

Me too rough towels.

Wonder if it is a primitive cleansing urge. It certainly rubs off dead cellls.

I like fans.

From small chipset cooling fans to big computer box fans, to battery portable fans, to vertical fans to ceiling fans, I have a box full of computer fans and I just ordered 5 more from the internet.

Perhaps I'm trying to be cool?

Cutting open shotgun shells, putting a drawing pin into the primer cap, turning the whole thing over and stamping on it.

Nice bang, and leaves a circular scorch mark. Useful for writing anti-teacher graffiti on paving slabs that STAYS.....

Heh, we used to glue a BB to the firing cap (with an intact shell), then add some flagging tape as a tail, then threw them.  Nice bang,  long range.

my baby is 17(sept 4th) and I've been done since then! You need to try it-- I'm serious- I said "you eat what?" myself, but I'm game to try almost anything once so I tried it.

I don't do it any more because its illegal now  and I really don't believe it was weird to take the whole roll of of those small red paper coils with equally spaced dots of gunpowder and smack em wid a rock to get the loudest 

I think I got a chance to show the older nephews that stuff , their father had forgotten about such stuff or HAD  to watch a game , so I felt it was my duty .
If i could still buy the stuff the youngest one and us ...

*ressurrects the thread*

i have to eat all small candy (m-n-m's, skittles,gummy bears etc*
in sets of even like 2 or 4........ and they have to be color sorted... if i have a odd one out.. i make someone eat the odd one...


and i have no clue at all where i got it from 

[Griffin NoName]

I too have a marked preference for even numbers. I wonder how common this is?

If there is a table (or similar) in a room, and I walk round one side of it to reach the other side of the room, I have a compulsion to walk back around the same side.

My maternal grandfather taught me that!   

It started with shelled peanuts at their farm kitchen table, gradually working up to M&Ms and Easter jelly beans. He pointed out that a single peanut, M or jelly would be lonely on its way to the stomach and needed a 'friend' to go along on the journey.

I also color-sort M&Ms (or jelly beans), but that's my own innovation. I consume them 2x2 (from the largest down) so that all colors end up with the same number. If there are 'friendless' Ms or jellies left over, however, I will eat them anyway...

I like all my socks folded neatly and pointing the same way in my sock drawer.

I like all my books aligned 2" back from the front edge of the shelves, categorized neatly by subject matter and alphabetized by author's last name (with the exception of series, which are in publishing order).

FWIW: I do not watch "Monk" on tv...

For candies where color is not related to taste (Smarties are the classic example) I color-group, then tend to even numbers out (very small groups get wiped out immediately to keep things even).  After that I will either pick away evenly at colors or eat an entire color group. Similar to Po9 I think.

When taste is a factor, I save the best for last.

Otherwise, I am extremely disorganized.

[anthrochild87]

 

Exactly- and i like all my movies organized mytitle- and if they are series- they are organized like that too...

and my herbs- don't even get me started on that- if anything gets moved- i have no clue where it is at all!

[Opsa]

I too like to arrange my sweets in color/flavor categories and eat them in order of preference. I like to make sure that all categories are even by the last swing-through.

I also like the silly things at Archie McPhee.

lol- i have a friend who is addicted to Bacon- and i think i just found his gifts for the next two years!!!

I worked for a company that printed their catalog for awhile. I always enjoyed checking their files!

excellent product!

    you really can't taste the difference ?

I don't have filing systems, I have piling systems.

As long as something is in the right place (generically a "pile", although with medicinal herbs it's a plastic bin) I can search and find it quickly no matter how many objects I need to sort through*.  If it wanders off, I will futilely keep checking "proper" locations to the point of madness. If it's somewhere unexpected, I sometimes cannot find it even if I look in the unexpected place, because I don't expect to find it there (may take 3 or 4 tries to locate it. Seriously, I have 'lost' keys in my pockets before while working - winter coveralls + pants = 8 pockets to check - and found them only on the fourth systematic check of all pockets, simply because they weren't in one of the 4 pockets I considered most likely).

I have an amazing memory for natural foodsources...  I can lead you to the exact location of many, many berry bushes, asparagus patches, and mushroom-picking sites, including ones I've only visited a single time.  OTOH, any small household object I handle and then put down, unless I place it consciously in a designated storage location, INSTANTLY disappears. Weirdly, things that I hide in a consciously chosen, logically-associated "safe" spot are gone for good if it is not the usual location.

I think maybe I was a squirrel in a previous incarnation.


*also works for reading; give me a closed book and I can find the line I stopped reading at within seconds, no matter how large the book or small the print. Bookmarks are decorative but useless annoying objects that get in my way.

I iz not a martian child.... but am trying to remember if there are any artificial coloring agents I can taste.  Probably not, although natural agents sometimes have a subtle flavour...  (mmmm, carmine).
