Lookin' on back, to when I was young.
I tried to sing it, but my song had been sung...

YANKEE STADIUM
nothing is worth 8 hours of covereage on ESPN
I've been there, wasn't all that great.
Heineken. Tastes like a skunk farted in a bottle of water.
I hate to disagree with you, but Yankee Stadium holds more history than any other building in the history of sports. The only way it could be more nostalgic is if they wouldn't have re done it years ago. The beams and ficade were classic. To think that something like that was concieved so long ago is mind-blowing. Yankee Stadium will be missed dearly.
Yeah I liked Cinderella quite a bit. Nobody's Fool was my favorite, I also liked Shake Me. Seems to me i'm missing one of theirs off the top of my head but can't recall which one.
Also liked in particular order - Whitesnake, Dokken, G'N'R, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Poison
I guess you could sorta lump these guys in with them a bit also but they were more metal. Metallica, Megadeath, AC/DC, Motley Crue
I hated Winger, absolutely hated them.
I started this forum four years ago...yikes. But, I came up with something else. S'mores. They are never good. I have never had one where everything was the right temperature at the same time. Either the marshmallow is too burnt, the chocolate is either too melted or too solid, and the graham cracker isn't all that great.
Sour cream overrated? GTFO
If you think a S'more is overrated, then you don't know how to make a S'more.
fist, don't limit yourself to a Hershey's bar, you're allowed to expand to a piece of crunch bar, Peanut Butter Cup or a multitude of different things. Not everything is suppose to be the same temperature. Its the contrast in textures, flavors and temperatures that excites your senses.
Of Course the same thing goes for Sour Cream which you dismissed 4 years ago. I'll agree, mixed into a bowl at Chipotle, I find it worthless, however drop a dap into the top of my bowl of chili or Ckn tortilla soup and again its the perfect mix of cool, smooth sour cream w/ warm, spicy and well textured soup.
roller coasters, overrated? Until I get access to a NASA simulator, NASCAR or an F-14 fighter, its as close as I can get to safely harnessing similar G-forces, the feeling of weightlessness, etc...
Graeter's...far from overrated. Regionally, name me someone w/ better more consistant ice cream. Nationally, its relativelly unknown. You can't be overrated if your the best where they know you, and you can't be overrated when few know your name nationally.
Wine...you don't always have to spend big to get a good wine.
Ribs. I think ribs are overrated. Sloppy, too much work for the amount of actual sustenance.
What I think might be most underrated is a chocolate milk shake from UDF.
Part of the danger of posting things on the Internet is that, we'll, you've posted things on the Internet. I am not entirely in agreement with my list of four years ago and am certainly not in love with my holier than thou tone. Oh well.
As for S'mores, you all are probably right in changing the recipe. But, I'm also not a big chocolate guy, so maybe my view is biased.
Agreed. The opposite is DQ. Their milkshakes are whipped soft serve ice cream with chocolate syrup thrown in. I can make better shakes at home with some 2% milk, some chocolate Breyers, and a little elbow grease. The same goes for Wendy's, McD's, and most other fast food joints.
I won't budge on Sour Cream. I just can't add those empty calories to a good meal. I get the contrast, but I just can't do it. Maybe I'm not a true Midwesterner.
As for Graeter's, they are good, don't get me wrong, but I don't have the same quasi-religious devotion to them that many Ohioans seem to have. Jeni's is excellent and I am always partial to the local joints with the questionable names (like the old Whippy Dip in Harrison or the Cream Corner on the far west side of Columbus).
I have somewhat changed my tune on wine. I still prefer beer, but I do enjoy a good red from time to time.
Finally, roller coasters. For the purpose of full disclosure, I get naseous just looking at them. So, perhaps that has colored my view. Also, I don't have an ounce of adrenaline junky in me. Bungee jumping, no thanks. White water rafting, have fun. Mountaineering, send me a postcard. So, perhaps that is why I don't like them all that much. As a side note, my kids are getting to the age where they like riding rides, so I have gladly transitioned to the dad who watches his kids go in circles at 4 mph while the wave at me. It's works out perfectly for both them and for me.
