'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Loves cilantro (sorry Sparky) and avocados. And peppers. Anything but okra.
a little bit of happiness from the internets (hope I'm not duping someone else's posts) a group of performers, the Antwerp Train Station, and the Sound of Music. Bystander expressions are classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EYAUazLI9k
However, my aversion to spearmint is such that I can't even talk to someone who is chewing spearmint gum, the smell makes me ill.
I'm the same way about wintergreen!
I like to snag the peppermint pinwheel candies from the receptionist's desk at work and suck on them at home. My cat goes nuts when she hears the crinkle of the wrapping, because she loves the smell of the mint (she'll stick her nose right in front of my mouth for some big whiffs--if I let her, she'd stick her whole head in).
I've never been able to tell the difference between the different kinds of mint candy flavors. They all just taste like ew to me.

My cat, Max, used to get stoned on Icy-Hot and Ben-Gay. I mean, seriously, kitty crack, writhing on the floor, tearing around the house in a frenzy, stoned.
Cats - the original cheap drunk.
If I delay washing my hair after swimming until I get home and the cat gets a chance to smell my chlorinated hair, she'll bury her nose in it and start chewing. She's done that when I've colored my hair, as well.
I just tell my cat "Don't lick my teeth."

Me too! Pepto Bysmol never helped me feel better - it would always make me worse. Shopping for tooth paste and mouth wash can be an ordeal trying to figure out what this year's code word for wintergreen is. One time at a health food store I was buying an all-natural tooth paste, and I had the owner of the store call the manufacturer to find out for sure what flavor it was. It was worth the effort, though, because it tastes good.
I like mint, cilantro, lemongrass and broccoli just fine. Not crazy about green peppers but have no particular objection to them, just don't like 'em as much as red and yellow (and orange, yum). Like gin, rum, Fernet, absinthe, and all varieties of bitters in moderation. Hate carrots, cooked or raw, except in carrot-ginger soup, hate black licorice, hate peas and most green beans, feel mostly indifferent to white wine, and cannot taste anything in Scotch but the burning, the terrible burning. And that's about it for my hateration. I may possibly be the opposite of a supertaster.
