Some Things In Life that I Just Don't Get.....

We have the funniest commentator doing the British version

Gotta love some of Hammond's ramblings!!

I don't get my wife's insistance to vacation somewhere other than Disney for our next trip

 

[Stitchmistress]

Oh no! It's hilarious! We have the funniest commentator doing the British version, and I love the American one just cause you guys take it SO seriously! I love a good 30 mins down time watching people be silly, reminds me of my youth.

I know, my family thinks I'm crazy for not liking it. They watch the Japanese version too, and they think it's hilarious!

1. Keeping up with the Joneses: I live in a city where this is RAMPANT! The older I get, the less money I have and the less it matters to me!

2. Reality TV: I have enough of my own real-life problems, why bother watching someone else's? I do enjoy Wipeout, though.

3. Housework: Isn't work supposed to STAY done? Why do I have to do it AGAIN?

And bills! I just paid these people LAST month, and now they want me to pay them all over again this month. What's up with that!

For those of you who don't get the Kentucky Derby, you either have to live here or be totally into Horse Racing.

For those of us who live in Louisville, it's really the two week party leading up to the 2 minute Race and for some it's going totally insane in the in-Field at Churchill Downs on Oaks Day (Friday before Derby) or on Derby Day.

The best part of Derby is the opening ceremonies "Thunder over Louisville" which is usually the Saturday, two weeks prior to the first Saturday in May (unless it is Easter Weekend). This is the largest Fireworks show in North America. and it is preceded by an awesome Airshow that begins at 3 pm and goes right up until the first Fireworks go off at 9:30 pm on the Banks of the Ohio River. The Fireworks show is 30 minutes of constant fireworks from 8 barges in the Ohio River plus coming off one of the bridges spanning over the Ohio River.

If you are really into Fireworks or Airshows - Google "Thunder over Louisville" for a taste. You should not miss this show.

I Googled. I never heard of Thunder over Louisville and WOW!!!!! I watched a video of the fireworks and they were AWESOME. I would love to see that in person one day!

It is like non other Fireworks Display you have ever experienced, people come from all over the country to experience this show. The Airshow is unique that you are literally at Ground Zero. Most Airshows have a buffer zone between you and the Aerobatics but not a Thunder you are right on the Show window.

Due to luck of having a friend working for the Barge lines, one year I got the privilege of being on one of the Tugboats attached to the firework barges. Now that was an experience like non other.

1. The 3 Stooges (or any slapstick) – they make me tired.
2. Conan O’Brien – I just don’t think he’s funny.
3. I’m with you on the Sushi – Gibson, you can have mine on the next cruise
4. People who don’t understand that they shouldn’t get in the line to board the plane until their zone is called.
5. And the gate agents that let them get away with it.

I love good Sushi; what I don't get are:
-people who ruin a good steak with ketchup
-ruin a wonderful, savory bowl of soup by making it a paste with crackers
-salt everything until all you can possibly taste is salt
-now, I have to admit that I pepper everything.
-people who crowd in front of you at a parade (or anything else)
-rude people

Please, no offense to anyone who may put ketchup on thier steaks. I just don't get it.

Scrubs was one of our favorite shows! I am so sad it's over, but it had run it's course, so I was okay with it ending. Luckily we own every season on DVD All my friends watched it too, so now you know lots of people who were watching

 

[kafitty]

Borat. i just don't get that sort of humor. i simply do not find purposely humiliating other people and bringing out the worst in them entertaining. i think it's rather repulsive, actually.

also: the opposition to gay marriage.

-salt everything until all you can possibly taste is salt

me too!! i could probably live without salt but GIVE ME MY PEPPER!!!

and yum, sushi.

I agree with both of the above.

I don't get sponge Bob, but my granddaughter to the left does, and it keeps her occupied...thank God!
I don't get mean people, or people who gossip, or people who smile in your face and stab you in the back
I don't get why anyone would want to be a gynecologist
I don't get convertibles...my head gets sunburned and my hair looks like a bird's nest
I don't get people who walk around with a phone in their ear and appear to be hallucinating, talking to themselves...
I don't get why crocs are so darn comfortable...it's all I wear, and they are really ugly
I don't get ethnic jokes..like Pollock jokes...they make perfect sense to me
I don't get why annual passes are made of paper...gees for the price they should be plastic at least
I don't get why I have to put my finger in that machine at the parks...do you know how germy those things are???? I agree with Pete, show you DL

OK, I'll play along!

Things I Just Don't Get....

1) The appeal of shows like "The Hills" - what is the appeal of spoiled, bratty kids who give 20-somethings everywhere a bad name?!

2) Parents who literally let their kids run amok at important events like weddings....I mean, I love kids as much as the next person, but that doesn't mean I think that a 4 year old should be allowed to talk at full voice during the vows! (Yes, I actually witnessed this at a recent wedding)
3) Why does healthy food cost so much more than junky crap? I mean, you can buy a box of Mac n Cheese for $.60 but a container of strawberries is 5 or 6 times that?

4) I hope this doesn't offend anyone but I don't get why people leave their Christmas lights on their house all year long! My aunt and uncle do this and it drives me bonkers!

I agree about the weddings/graduations/important events where kids are constantly talking, fussing, etc. and nobody takes them out. Maybe I'm sensitive to this because DH and I had a relative's child talking throughout a lot of our wedding. We couldn't hear him during the ceremony because he was in the back, but it got picked up on our wedding video. During DS's graduation, there were little kids crying and fussing throughout a lot of the ceremony.

Along that line, I don't understand people who pay good money to see a movie in the theater, then talk to their friends throughout the movie, ruining it for those of us who also paid good money!

Ok...I'm off my soapbox now!
