Unpopular Opinion

I like pineapple on pizza sometimes.

Never tried that, but it sounds good.

I don't like it too much.

How about... a pineapple sandwich? Two fat slices of pineapple with a slice of ham and cheese in the middle...

Maybe not. I'm not feeling that adventurous. 

McDonald's tried that for their catholic customers. The Aloha Burger went head to head with the Filet O' Fish sandwich during Lent many years ago. The pineapple and barbecue sauce combination didn't make it past the first day.

Oh, McDonald's did it? All of a sudden the idea seems really disgusting.

So let me just say I'm not crazy about when using a public toilet, and after sitting down I find myself on a warm seat, which obviously implies someone else's ass was just recently sitting there.

This was part of a topic I had with a friend today during lunch,it developed after he excused himself from our table at the restaurant and went to the restroom.

When he returned he mentioned how happy he was that the seat he used was warm...(I know what your thinking, why would anyone make such a remark during a meal, and I agree it's totally inappropriate, but he's in his mid or late 70's so I guess he doesn't know better)

Anyway, after I thanked him for instilling such a horrible vision in my head of him on a toilet seat, I told him I thought the warm seat remark was gross, as I prefer a cold seat. We discussed this at length for some time, in my opinion I believe I won the argument. Our waitress seemed to agree with me as well.

I know what you are thinking, what does it matter if someones ass was on the seat ten seconds before you used it or 30 minutes ago?

Any butt germs are still there regardless of the time between seatings. I mean let's be honest here...regardless of the time of passage between when a person has used a seat I realize at some point someone else's naked butt was on the seat before mine, but it's just that the warmth of the seat implies some type of intimacy that I don't care to have with a complete strangers butt, especially a man's. (I would be singing a totally different tune here if it was say, Salma Hayek's butt who had warmed the seat prior to my use, but that's completely different, most men are pigs...)

So anyway I don't like a toilet seat warmed by another person's ass unless it's Salma Hayek, or maybe Deepika Padukone, Lisa Haydon, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Lupita Nyong'o, Jennifer Lawrence, Zoe Kravitz, Penelope Cruz and again Salma Hayek.

I'm sure all of you agree with me, especially about Salma Hayek.

I agree with you. A warm toilette seat is as wrong as eating a PB&J sandwich after water was spilled on it.

Today is the beginning of Rosh Shashana (sp)  How about pineapple on a bagel? Would that be kosher?

Rosh Hashanah is a big deal in my predominantly Jewish neighbourhood, so I will be heading to the local supermarket for some delicacies like raisin challah and honey.

American  football on Thanksgiving...I just can't.

[Pasta Chick]

I HAAAAAAAAAAATE football!

I think I could probably deal, but the NFL is just so fucking gross I can't.

I hope Kapernack is playing so I can root for him and piss in everyone's Cheerios.

I'm not sure if this should be here, or here: Language oddities and funnies. 

Why is this American Football called "football" when the feet are not used in the game...that much...or as much as in soccer/ futbol?

Why do they win the...the...is it the, World Championship? When only teams from the USA participate. 

And that's not really a "ball" or "football" is it?

But "rugby", using an odd shaped ball as well, is really called "Rugby football".  Story is that a player in a football match at Rugby School picked up the ball and ran with it, inventing a new game.

That may not be an unpopular opinion around here.

I hate the commentators, their oh so manly voices getting so very excited and shouty, it gives me the creeping gripes.

We go to my sister's house every year for Thanksgiving, and she is a big football fan. She lived on the east coast for years so she's an even bigger Patriots' fan...just to annoy me she been buying my son Brady jersey's and t-shirts since he's been a young kid, and as he outgrows them she buys new ones.

She always has the games on in the other room while we are all gathered together getting dinner ready, etc...thankfully she turns the sound off so we don't have to listen to the (I agree with the Penny here) even more annoying announcers.

I just ignore the games and socialize, but the problem is my brother-in-law. This guy is everything I'm not...Trump supporter, gun nut, racist, misogynist, loudmouthed, opinionated ass. (I'm an ass, just not a heavily opinionated one)
They only think we have in common is he is also a vet...though he was in the Navy, so (Insert Navy Joke Here)!

He gets all worked up with these games, and the players, he thinks Kapernick should be strung up by the highest pole...I get bugged to go sit with him, because besides my son all of the other people attending Thanksgiving are women. (My sister is gay, and her and her wife who host Thanksgiving also always invite a number of their friends to attend, and it's a lot of fun. I'm sure my brother-in-law secretly hates being in the midst of a Lesbian Thanksgiving, but he's smart enough not to dare say anything)

Last year he was mad at some player for being disrespectful and we got into an argument, I finally just walked away.

I just hate the thought of having to sit and pretend to enjoy the stupid football game (I made a promise to my mother before she passed away that I would do everything in my power to keep the peace between my brother-in-law and the rest of the family)

It's so boring, football...this year we are taking some board games with us, and my son said he would split time with his Uncle and the TV to spare me having to sit with him too long.

My plan is to get everyone playing along with the games. We'll see.

Next year hoping to visit my daughter and son-in-law in their new house for Thanksgiving so I don't have to deal with it.

End of Rant.

I think I have seen more fights and broken friendships over soccer than for any other reason - even over girls amongst the young drinking class.

Well that's different as soccer is a real sport, and the games are enjoyable to watch, and don't last 5 hours. Of course the greatest Football Club is Liverpool FC...all of you Manchester Fans can go suck an egg!

Soccer, like American football, is a beast of many levels: commodity, industry, personal achievement, tribal affiliation (even at local, amateur level) . . . Rugby is damn near as bad but less selling and buying of players so less utter greed mixed in with the sport.

America has that whole other level where the academic institutions vie for players and offer scholarships as enticement.

[Bluenose]

Well, I'm an equal-opportunity football hater.  Soccer, rugby, rugby league, American football, Aussie rules, Gaelic football, I don't care, I hate it all.  Don't football followers realise it's just a game? It's not as if it were something important, like cricket.   

[xSilverPhinx]

Cricket, what's that? Is that when a bunch of people rub their legs together in order to produce a sound to banish all silence? And the award goes to who can produce the loudest?
