It's popular, but I have absolutely no interest in__ (fill in the blank)

[momophile]

I have no interest in mountain climbing. I have no interest in reading the books. I have no interest in watching the movies. I have no interest in the PBS specials. I have no interest in any part of it and I probably never will.

What's your absolutely no interest?

[SallyMander]

1. Reality TV!

:hi:

[yellowdogintexas]

2. you beat me to it!!!!!

[Jade Fox]

6. Me three....

I'd rather watch paint dry.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. Count me in this club.

I don't understand why they call it "reality" TV... :shrug:

[Taverner]

13. I'm with ya my friend

Reality TV is about as exciting as watching milk spoil

Actually the milk is more interesting because someone might drink it by accident

[SallyMander]

20. ...

:spray:

[zingaro]

14. parallel parkin right here. nt

[NewJeffCT]

87. me, too

good one.

[geardaddy]

112. Me too.

Can't stand it.

[DarkTirade]

3. Watching sports on TV.

[yellowdogintexas]

4. Las Vegas, Nevada.

I have no desire to visit there, it just isn't on my wish list at all.

[AlCzervik]

7. i've been there twice and imo you are missing nothing.

[Muttocracy]

9. never been there, afraid I have to go to a convention there for work soon :(

[momophile]

12. when I went to visit a friend who lived there,

I took the opportunity to walk up and down the strip and people watch. I don't gamble and I'm not easily impressed. but the people watching was great.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. Another one of mine.

There are few places I'm just not interested in seeing. Las Vegas is tops on that list.

[stuntcat]

74. I hope I won't have to go.

My in-laws love casinos, they took us for a depressing waste of a weekend to Atlantic City once and they've talked for years about a trip to Las Vegas. I will say NO though, they're used to bullying me but I will stay home alone.

[Iggo]

75. The Las Vegas part is interesting.

But the Nevada part is beautiful. (Please, brake for roadrunners.)

[grace0418]

92. Amen to that.

No interest whatsoever.

[ironflange]

95. we are thinking of going to vegas next xmas

but we are planning on taking in the countryside mostly

stuff like

grand canyon west end
death valley
red rock canyon
hoover dam and lake mead

and such

[yellowdogintexas]

116. now THAT would be a wonderful trip. Our daughter may be relocating to Arizona

and visits to her will naturally include all the local wonders within a reasonable distance.

[ironflange]

120. thats how we travel

we love to visit the countryside
thats where you really see the soul of a place

you wont catch us at many tourist traps

[yellowdogintexas]

131. when we vacation, there is always ONE THING that is the reason for the location

then we each make a list of the things we want to do beside that, and compare
and then choose our initial "itinerary"..however we ALWAYS discover something on the way or after we get there that we either didn't know about at all or didn't catch our interest during the research phase ...and that something often turns out to be the highlight of the trip.

we love back roads, national parks, scenic wonders, and we also love tourist traps, but not things like amusement parks..more like quirky points of interest.

We are old cavers, he is a geologist, we are both voracious readers and love the unusual. We also love art, and steam trains and the beach. So our vacations are eclectic

[kwassa]

118. Unfortunately my in-laws moved there. We have to go visit.

As pointless a town as I can remember, and 110 degrees every day, too, over Labor Day.

If you don't like casinos (they love the slots and the cheap buffets) there is not much to do. It is not a beautiful part of the desert, just flat and bleak. My in-laws basically run from one air-conditioned environment to another. They live indoors.

The casinos all reek of cigarette smoke, too, just to make the indoor environment more unpleasant. There are supposedly good restaurants, and some of the shows might be worthwhile, if you are into that sort of thing.

[Godhumor]

5. I have no interest in the NBA, college basketball, or MLB

I love watching football (American and other), rugby, and the major golf tournaments, but I can not stand the other giant national sports.

[Muttocracy]

8. professional sports n/t

[femmocrat]

11. Sports, movies, most TV. video games, mostly everything.

I didn't even know that mountain climbing was popular! LOL

[Muttocracy]

18. oh, I forgot about TV because I don't have one! :)

[graywarrior]

16. Sex

(kidding)

[DarkTirade]

135. Don't make me post an Alan picture. :P

[Bennyboy]

17. American Idol!

Don't like it at all....I like a lot of reality TV but this one just don't make it for me.

[Seeking Serenity]

100. Amen!

I have never watched it and have absolutely no desire to do so.

[Sugar Smack]

19. Going on a cruise.

I love boats. I really wish the ocean-liners-without-cruises strictly taking you across the Atlantic still existed. But a cruise seems so forced, I suppose. Who the hell am I, though- I've never been on one.

[momophile]

22. just seems like one big flu bug nt

[Sugar Smack]

24. With NO means of escape!

No, thank you. If someone forced me to go on one, I might, but otherwise, eehhhhhh.

[AlCzervik]

23. oh hells yes, just you and like 1500 people you'll be stuck with on a floating petri dish.

**shudder**

[Sugar Smack]

27. Oh, and not only that,

but don't cruises serve like 12 all-you-can-eat buffets a day? I can see what you're saying about the petri dish & I echo your shudder. From what I've experienced, I don't get seasick, but you can bet there's A LOT of that going on too. Especially if a cruise is a special occasion. :scared:

[AlCzervik]

30. the food for real and not being able to get away from the people and being stuck

on a ship no matter how nice, you're still stuck. My sister went on one of those Big Red boat cruises through Disney and she said she even though the ship was nice and the food was good she wanted to jump over the rail ofter 2 days--and she likes people waaaaayy more than i do.

I am a city girl, i like the noise and the rush and going to museums, thats my idea of a wonderful vacation.

[Sugar Smack]

31. The city - and pretty much anywhere you are in a city you'd be able to leave it if

you didn't like it. Whenever I think of a Disney Cruise, I can't help but imagine a miniature Disney World tucked INSIDE the ship. I assume that's not the case, but if things really got bad enough crowd-wise I'd be tempted to take my chances with the sharks.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

59. I lost weight eating on a cruise.

It was a Big Red Boat many years ago.

The fresh fruit all the time was great. It was an old ship with totally inadequate elevators. Eating all that healthy food and running up and down 7 floors of stairs was good for me!!!

[Mojambo]

21. Guitar Hero. n/t

[quip]

35. I waded down the thread to finally find the winnah!

[Brigid]

78. Guitar Hero is fun, but . . .

I have absolutely no talent for it. I always get booed. My niece, though, can beat anybody at it. :) :headbang:

[lightningandsnow]

25. My Chemical Romance.

Or The Arcade Fire. Or Billy Talent. Or the Used.

Or whatever trendy god-awful music the "cool kids" are listening to right now.

[Iris]

26. Blogs

They really bore me silly.

[Phentex]

62. My answer but not my reason!

I love to read. AND I love people and human interest stories. But I feel like I'm reading someone's diary when they send me a link to their blog.

Sometimes I hit upon one based on a particular subject (cooking or something) and I find those informative rather than invasive. Other than that, I just don't get it.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

28. Sports, 95% of TV and films, fashion.

[Sanity Claws]

29. football

I like baseball but football doesn't interest me. The players look more humanoid than human. The sport is violent and it is so slow. I know people say baseball is slow but I think football is really slow. It takes forever to set up a play.

[smalll]

32. Obamania. /nt

[fizzgig]

33. i'm with you on the mountain climbing

and it always amazes people that i can live here and not be interested in climbing

[momophile]

71. don't tell anyone,

but I won't down-hill ski! seems like a great way to kill yourself. I will cross-country though, so I'm not totally out of place in Colorado.

[my2sense]

34. basketball n/t

[Sugar Smack]

36. Sushi.

[Maccagirl]

37. Nascar

Don't understand the sub-culture at all.

[JeffR]

38. The DUzy Awards

;-)

[SOteric]

84. We all hope that's not true,

but if it is, I'll bet you could get a very good response if you advertised for a DUzy intern or two.

[SKKY]

39. Getting to 5th base...

...to quote Tenacious D, "It's not my favorite, but I'll do it for you."

[fizzgig]

41. ...

:rofl:

[Broken_Hero]

40. American Idol, nt

[Kali]

42. cruises

celebrity watching, fancy coffee pretensions, mainstream music, television (except The Daily Show and Colbert, wish I could just have those), in fact I have little interest in most things popular (fads).

[Flaxbee]

43. iPods.

Crappy tinny music piped right into my ear while I'm standing in line or whatever? No, thanks. If I'm going to listen to music, I'd like to be able to really *hear* it.

Lots of other things but probably my most sacrilegious refusal is the iPod.

[yellowdogintexas]

63. another thing that doesn't interest me at all. I just have no interest nt

[LeftyMom]

44. sparkly rocks

I just don't see the point. :shrug:

[Fox Mulder]

45. professional sports.

And American Idol.

[ThoughtCriminal]

46. Gambling

When people ask me why, I tell them I'm good at math.

[Lethe]

52. good one

and it is true....why else do these places stay open for business....because they keep losing to chumps like us???

[pitohui]

113. but obviously not good enough

considering that blackjack was solved in c. 1960 and that from time to time there are plenty of other positive expectation opportunities in the "gambling" world then anyone who claims to be good at math but can't figure out the basics, well, more for the rest of us, i guess :evilgrin:

[Kutjara]

47. Engaging in pointless sectarian infighting in GD:P. n/t

[theredpen]

108. Nice post, Caligula

[Heidi]

48. Popularity. (nt)

[lligrd]

49. Meetings At Work, Beauty Pageants, Best Of Show Of Anything

and whatever Paris Hilton or Brittany Spears are doing at this moment.

[Digit]

50. Sex

After sampling a goodly number of the male species, and finding the last one who was way beyond the rest, I have given up sex. He is no longer in my life, but I am too damned old to go through those numbers to get to one who knows what in the hell he is doing.

[LSK]

51. anything on primetime network TV (ABC/CBS/NBC/FOX)

[Adsos Letter]

53. reality tv..or just about any tv...

[BlueIris]

54. Sudoku.

Just don't get the appeal.

[pitohui]

115. i don't either, i know a couple of people hooked on this

just seems a terrible waste of time to me

[asthmaticeog]

55. Life.

[Jamastiene]

61. OMG, I know that feeling.

I look at my life now compared to where I wanted it to be by now and I think I'd rather just end it because I don't have the will or energy left to wish I could start over.

[racaulk]

106. .

:hug:

[redqueen]

79. Same here.

[lligrd]

56. Steroid Use By Baseball Players

I just really don't care!

[Quantess]

57. Video games. Guitar hero.

I'm not ancient. 37. I didn't even like Asteroids or PacMan that much.

[Catsbrains]

58. professional sports. nt

[Jamastiene]

60. Exercise.

I'd rather die than exercise. Lucky for me, the odds are in my favor. :P

[Cass]

64. MySpace, Facebook, IPods and reality tv. nt

[RubyDuby in GA]

89. I was about to respond with literally the same 4 items.

Damn. You beat me to it. :thumbsup:

:)

[Cass]

96. Great minds and all that, Ruby!

:D

[Initech]

105. Social networking sites in general are really creepy.

And what's scary is that employers, colleges, and so on are using the content on these sites to weed out potential applicants. :scared:

[1gobluedem]

65. Wii

I'm not even sure what it is.

Social networking sites are not my thing either.

[Phillycat]

90. Wii is mine too - video games in general.

:boring:

[yourout]

66. being celibate.

[crim son]

67. Team sports,

video games of any kind including Wii, a game of pool, almost everything on t.v., most "comedy" films... there are more but I'm too uninterested to remember them.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

68. Of the things that have been mentioned: most of them

I am SO out of touch with American pop culture now, and I've never, ever liked pro sports, or even amateur team sports.

I also think that Brie is disgusting. I like most cheese, but during the 1980s, you couldn't go to a party without someone serving the stuff and all the guests squealing with delight.

However, sex and Japanese food are two of life's great pleasures.

[Mad_Dem_X]

69. Politics.

:hide:

[zanne]

70. All of the above! nt

[NC_Nurse]

72. Sports.

I work at UNC, so it's a big topic of conversation. I could give a shit.
I feel like the only person in the state who doesn't watch basketball during the ACC
tournament and the play offs. At least the malls are empty. That's my big time to go shopping,
during major sporting events. ;)

[stuntcat]

73. TV

I hear there's been a strike :shrug:

[Tindalos]

124. Seconded

I tried watching TV the other day. There were so many commercials I turned it off after a few minutes. This is entertainment?:shrug:

[stuntcat]

126. the commercials, EXACTLY

NOTHING is worth sitting through at least 15 minutes an hour of that stuff.
I watch PBS for the news and sometimes a movie but other than that-

[LynzM]

136. Ditto - television

It leaves me out of about 80% of casual conversations at work.... oh well. :shrug:

[Tikki]

76. Gossiping about Celebrities.......

[DS1]

77. basketball

fucking hate it.

[Midlodemocrat]

81. Heathen. Go Huskies!

[DS1]

82. suck my nuggets

[Midlodemocrat]

83. The only sport I truly follow is NCAA basketball.

Go HUSKIES!!!! Both ladies and men!!!!

:woohoo:

:woohoo:

[underpants]

101. It is the one true American sport

it is a dance of 10

If you have no choice and are caught watching basketball-watchthe fould line. It is some weird thing but you will be amazed at how many times the ball passes free across the foul line...well it would but one of the rules of basketball is that you always have to have guy on or within an armslength of the foul line, mostly on defense.

this concludes today's lesson

[DS1]

104. what's the foul line?

[Forkboy]

80. Breathing.

Or is that too morbid for the Lounge? :D

[SOteric]

85. The Sopranos.

Seriously, - never seen it, no interest in doing so. Ah well. Plenty of things to spend my time on as it is.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

86. Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse and the other people in this category

That the MSM harp on about while ignoring the real issues. All the gossip and entertainment shows are just crap

[Wcross]

88. Televised sports, reality TV, Brittany spears & all other bullshit.n/t

[NewWaveChick1981]

91. Sports, American Idol, NASCAR,...

and reality tv.

[Lorien]

93. Celebrity Gossip, Shopping. n/t

[Pacifist Patriot]

94. I'll park it right here.

[IronLionZion]

97. video games and sports

Oh yes, I am a young male and have no interest in video games, never have really. :shrug:

Also I don't normally watch sports, although I do watch once in a while if someone else wants to watch. I won't go out of my way to watch any sports.

[laconicsax]

98. Becoming a Christian

[tinymontgomery]

99. Sports

my tv won't even turn to a channel that is showing sports.

[Road Scholar]

102. Dieing! I'm 65 next month. nt

:popcorn: :shrug:

[Initech]

103. British sitcoms

Honestly I do not think they're that funny.

[BarenakedLady]

107. Marriage.

:P

[Seashell Eyes]

109. watching any sport

that's not either gymnastics, figure skating, or baseball. Also, I'm not fond of dogs.

[Dulcinea]

110. Fake designer purses.

My mom got me one for Christmas. It was this hideous thing with some imitation designer logo all over it. Ugh! I gave it to a consignment store & got $40 for it. Designer fakes are for poseurs. I'll stick with my vintage REAL Coach classic black leather purse, thank you very much.

Add to that reality TV, Britney Spears (why doesn't she just wrap her car around a utility pole & get it over with?), NASCAR, & Starbucks.

[BlueJazz]

111. 90 Percent of Rock & Roll

[kwassa]

119. I'm willing to up it to 95%.

Rock has been going in circles for 30 years or so.

[geardaddy]

114. Cilantro.

It tastes like soap.

[yellowdogintexas]

117. Granite Countertops and Stainless Steel kitchen appliances.

I am fairly certain I would not want them even if I had an unlimited kitchen renewal budget. Also super high grade wood cabinets.

I am planning a kitchen redo and I want Thermofoil finish due to its ease of maintenance, so why spend bunches of $$ on hardwood that won't show?

I happen to really LIKE white appliances, and my kitchen is small and doesn't get much natural light so the white helps make the room look larger.

If you really don't like your counter top choice after it is in there, at least if it is laminate you can afford to change it out.

[Deep13]

121. football, popular culture generally, spirituality

[philosophie_en_rose]

122. Christianity

[raccoon]

123. The superbowl. Practically all pro or college sports.

Ice hockey is OK, because they're ice skating. :-)

[Quantess]

133. Sports are highly overrated.

[calico1]

125. Reality TV.

Any of it. Hate it all.

[LanternWaste]

127. FPS Games

First Person Shooter games. Blech...

[CreekDog]

128. Project Runway

or Survivor

:eyes:

[enigmatic]

129. Getting DU hearts

I didn't ask for them, don't want them, and wish I could get rid of them. I understand they are well-intentioned (and a great fundraising tool for DU), but the only heart I want (or need, really) is from my wife, and I already have that.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

130. YouTube. n/t

[Rob H.]

132. Commercial radio

I've given up on it entirely. You'd think that here in Memphis there would be at least one decent rock and roll station, but you'd be horribly, horribly wrong. :(

[hippywife]

134. All TV besides PBS

and MySpace and Facebook. No interest whatsoever. Oh, and anything played on radio besides the few stations that play independent Americana, folk, roots, etc.

[qnr]

137. Sleep n/t

[judaspriestess]

138. American idol
