But I do like a filet mignon. I like it a lot. Sorry.

Thanks Nero, I was wondering to think I was crazy for loving a nice charred rare filet Mignon and a nice cab...

Two of my favorite things!

What the hell is emo?

I'm glad you asked first, elyse! I thought I was the only one not in the know . . .

Emo-emotional hardcore, a derivative of punk. Started in D.C. in the 70s/80s...though the stuff you find today is nothing of the sort that was actually listenable.

sorry to get off track, but could you pm some examples? I thought this was RAEL rock... :blink:

I like cinnamon raisin toast, or golden raisins

I like a nice, pliable filet: it's a texture thing, like Taco Bowel Burritos

I like Andes mints and those girl-scout cookies

I like a nice cab too...especially without the rearview mirror pine tree (ba dum bum)

I wonder what all the processed foods would taste like without the "real, natural flavorings"...how to describe the unmasked flavors of guargum, polysorbate 80, and my personal favorite: xanthum. would it be like Matrix gruel?

I like the faux flavors of all Jolly Rancher candies: it's when they market them off as martinis that kills me.

Emo music.

Hey, I like emo!

No need to get emotional about it.

:laugh:

Instant coffee (the kind where you put a spoonful into hot water).

Canned mushrooms are scary.

Early emo (or "emocore") originated in DC in '84 or '85 as nerissa said. Examples: Jawbreaker, Hot Water Music. Mainly former members of punk bands who felt limited by the constraints of punk music. Guitar-oriented, midtempo.

Late 80s "emo": Evergreen, Shotmaker, Ordination of Aaron. Mid-90s "post-emo": the great Sunny Day Real Estate :wub: .

Nowadays emo is difficult to define. Why anyone would want to try is beyond me.

Anyway, that yellow furniture-polish stuff they put inside of jelly doughnuts is scary.

Car-lot popcorn.

Noise is music. All else is food.

And add to that ANYTHNG with artificial cherry flavor.

Yes. It always tastes like cough medicine. :sad:

Don't knock Romilar till you've tried it.

Yes, but I can never get the char just as I want it!

:sad:

I do too. So there. Maybe we're crazy, fellow Chicagoans...and that's why we have so much fun together.

Nero...to find the right char, just keep practicing! :smile:

Nero, thanks for the emo def. 

What the hell is car-lot popcorn?

Car lot popcorn is the nasty cold yesterday's popcorn that I shove mindlessly into my mouth at my second job, which is at a car lot.

Noise is music. All else is food.

Is it from one of those "old time" poppers?  Why don't they just buy bagged?

What!? And spoil the car lot ambience?

It's from one of those poppers. The smell, I believe, is supposed to induce shitty-car buying frenzy.
