the overrated thread

From time to time I’ll treat myself to a pint of Phish food.

I don’t pay $5/pint…but it might be $3.50 or some shit like that.

It’s more expensive and in the long run probably not that much better than some other brands.

But I buy it because it says “Phish” on the outside of the carton.

I used to buy Phish Food for that reason, until I realised that I really didn’t like it very much. Too gooey for my taste.

I think hair is way overrated. Much too much is made of it, and we all generally have to spend too much time in our daily lives in order to be “well groomed”.

Then again, I do enjoy running my hands though my baby’s hair, and find it a turn on. On second (prurient) thought, nevermind.

I agree it’s gooey, but I don’t mind it.

I spend precisely 10 seconds each morning on my hair. When you’re losing your hair much like I am, you tend to keep it as short as possible. So I just run a comb through it a few times and that’s it. Actually I can not even mess with it and still be fine.

I want to avoid the point where I completely shave it…my head just ain’t shaped right for that look.

I agree…I actually like Jack’s White Stripes stuff more than the Raconteurs. The Racs sound like every other band out there…at least the White Stripes try different stuff.

I’d also second Ben and Jerry’s being overrated. That’s a major ripoff for such a small container of ice cream. It’s great that they give a lot to good causes but ug…what a rip.

And I’d have to say that cigarettes are overrated. I used to smoke for years and eventually quit. Not because of cost or because of the health thing (I still ruin my lungs with weed) but because…well…cigarettes don’t DO anything. You get that two-second rush when you have your first smoke of the night and that’s IT. They don’t get you trashed like alcohol and they don’t get you high like weed. They’re just lame and the only reason people smoke them is because they’re addicted. I say to each their own since I know it’s a major bitch to quit them, but they’re overrated.

I’d gotta second Ben Stiller. I avoid movies in which he’s involved in them at all. Just can’t stand the guy. He only plays two characters anyway…there’s “intense Ben Stiller” or “awkward, nervous Ben Stiller” and both characters are annoying.

And on the sports angle, the following things are overrated: Emmitt Smith, Cal Ripkin Jr, Derek Jeter, Willis Reed walking out before game 7 of the 1970 Finals (he shot two buckets and then sat out the rest of the game), the immaculate reception (Steelers lost the next game), The “Giants Win the Pennant!” home run (the Giants lost the World Series), that basket catch by Willie Mayes (we’ve seen hundreds of guys do that) and Kirk Gibson’s Dodgers home run (it was Game 1 and they swept the Giants anyway).

Those pictures of cats with them saying something wrong…

and cats in general.

^I flat out disagree with both of those points, but that’s OK. I can see how people would think they are worthless or whatever. Actually, I don’t really overrate my cats at all, now that I think about it. They are my pets, and I like them around. That’s about it.

I’ll tell you what’s not overrated…this picture…makes me laugh every time.

^^ I agree entirely Will. I hate cats. A cat is nothing more than an iffeminite dog.

You know what else is overrated. When you get 4 great tickets for a Dylan concert a month from now, and you want two for you and your other half, and you offer the other two to way too many people, and now everyone hates you because you’re not giving them the ticket. Yeah…I’m not sure if that’s really a thing, but if it is, it’s overrated.

^^^you should get everybody together in a group who you promised those 2 tickets to, and then just rip them up into pieces in front of the group and throw the pieces in the air like Michael did to his counting crows tickets on the office last night.

As for cats, they are cool. But those stupid jpg pictures on them saying stuff in a silly cat-like way…those pics are pretty gay

^But crazy looking parrots are not gay!!!

Damn you man…post spoiler tags. I’ve got that shit downloaded and ready to go tonight.

I haven’t seen a crazy-looking parrot one yet, but it does sound pretty rad.

as for a spoiler tag, you gotta watch the season debuts on opening night because they are always the talk of the town the next day.

spoiler alert 4 grMy favorite part was when dwight kicks over the birthday cake and says “happy birthday stanley” -hahahahaahaaha!!

^dude, I’m talking about the “O RLY?” pic I just posted. Maybe that’s not a parrot, but its some kind of owl or something.

and its funny

oh my bad, must’ve scrolled over it and missed the pic. yeah, I have seen those, and they are somewhat funny but really so 2004

Agreed. I don’t mind it one bit.

But I’ll kindly disagree with whoever said they don’t like cats.

Cats at least have some degree of dignity.

Most dogs will lick their own asshole for a Snausage.

here’s an oriental version one. I guess it’s kinda funny? -but really so 2004…

I’m more into the FAIL pics nowadays, myself

meh the teeth kinda bother me on that one

its funny though

how bout this new FAIL gif I made the other day…

^^^pretty rad huh?

and yes, it turns out that it is not a parrot, but a white owl.
here is an article about the legend that is ‘O rly’

turns out I have 2 cat pics in my collection, but luckily, neither of them are the gay caturday kind.

the 1st one, a classic pic of the baby trying to eat the cat’s tail!

hahaha!^^^that one’s funny cause it’s a cute little baby trying to eat the cat’s tail. lol, babies will try and eat anything, even a cat’s tail haha

the 2nd one is a cat with a very evil, twisted goal in mind. muhahaha

^^^looks like that NWO theory ain’t so crazy after all huh?

Reggae music.

It’s cool for a while, but I can only take so much before wanting to hear something different.
