Confession time: Give us one of your guilty pleasures

[MrScorpio]

I like to watch dating shows like BLIND DATE. However, I can't stand those * of Love shows or shows like the BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE

[bigwillq]

1. The Young and the Restless

Been watching it for like 15 years.

[dixiegrrrrl]

2. British tv series "Hotel Babylon"

Silly cotton candy tv, but very enjoyable, good for putting the brain in neutral.

[old mark]

3. I love

donuts.



All kinds.

Although I do regret it when its time to go #2

[madamesilverspurs]

Did that show have dialogue?

[murielm99]

And Xena!

[redqueen]

[bridgit]

[mitchum]

13. Reading paperback true crime books

[SeattleGirl]

14. Definitely one of mine too!

I love those things.

[mitchum]

15. I devour those things like popcorn or candy or something

[SeattleGirl]

18. Same here.

I'm currently reading "Fire Lover" by Joseph Wambaugh. True story of an arson inspector in the Glendale (CA) Fire Dept. who set an incredible number of fires.

[mitchum]

19. That is a good one

I just finished Philip Carlo's "The Night Stalker"
Next up is "Killer Dad" by Robert Scott

[vadawg]

16. my homemade beverages, nothing better than some homemade to get you drunk after a long days work

[Flaxbee]

17. mystery books...

PD James, Dorothy Sayers, Margaret Maron, Martha Grimes, John Mortimer (Rumpole)

I read for pleasure almost exclusively. I'll read news, magazines, etc. so I can be informed, but I avoid 'heavy' books like the plague most of the time, it depends on how much I can cope with in my daily life. If life is tough or stressful, I won't be reading Carson McCullers or Marianne Robinson. I read those authors' books when I was in a safe place in my life; I haven't been in a safe place in a long time so I read to escape.

[Steerpike]

21. I love

Rare Steak and Cream Cheese Burrito with Hot sauce. I know it's wrong....but I can't help myself...

[maddezmom]

22. fresh flowers and bleu cheese stuffed olives

:hi:

[NJmaverick]

23. Just one?

While I generally eat healthy, I am a sucker for Dunkin Donuts

[redqueen]

24. I'm not guilty about any of my pleasures.

Sod off, people with taste.

(That 'sod off' in place of 'fuck off' was for you, Orrex! :hi:)

[Heidi]

25. Okie dokie.

Miracle Whip (once in a while, now that we can buy it here)
Fresh flowers once a week during the winter
I buy the best art supplies available. I could get by with inferior art supplies, but the experience of making art with truly fine supplies somehow raises the bar for me. Hard to explain.
I listen to Kid Rock once or twice a year.

I don't really feel guilty about any of these, though.

[Captain Hilts]

27. Kraft macaroni and cheese. nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

28. Jay-Z

Some of his lyrics feature the normal "ho" and "gansta" talk, but others are actually quite witty. Take "99 Problems" for example--great song hitting on racial profiling.

I'll never forget listening to the Black Album on the plane flying into Las Vegas. It helped add to the experience.

[SacredCow]

29. Plugging my Stratocaster straight into my 1966 Fender Bassman....

Volume up to the limit, and wail away on random blues scales and power chords.

But the neighbor backlash is usually swift.

[mitchum]

34. Cranking a Bassman or a Twin also usually guarantees a visit from the police

Rock on!

[SacredCow]

35. Yeah... Been there, done that....

Not lately, though. My current neighbors can't really call the cops on me, as they are also in violation of some city ordinances. And they know that I know! So it all works out...

[tigereye]

30. hmm, it used to be Cops

Lately it's been old Veronica Mars. Wow is that show cynical - Miss Marple ala 90210

[JonLP24]

31. Keeping up with the Kardashians

[Hell Hath No Fury]

32. "True Blood" and sleeping nekkid with my cats.

Hey, you asked! :D

[mix]

33. i feel no guilt about any pleasure anymore...

...but long ago I would often sneak out my mother's car, pick up my girlfriend and drive all night. A very guilty pleasure indeed.

[TZ]

36. Trashy romance novels

The more graphic the better...

[Bertha Venation]

37. Just about anything on the Food Network

TV about food? Honestly. It grates against my liberal "how-many-people-on-earth-are-starving-and-we-have-SO-MUCH" mentality.

[Eyerish]

38. My guilty pleasure...

"The dancing's over. Now it gets dirty. " :rofl:

edit: for bad spelling

[TheCentepedeShoes]

39. Watching Supernanny

I had a short spell of wondering what life would have been like if I had had kids
Helped me get over it

[mvd]

40. Mine

TV: Big Brother, Young And The Restless

Books: Twilight series, though I was much happier with how Harry Potter ended.

Movies: Spaceballs

Music: taste is subjective and I hardly feel guilty at all about what I listen to, but here are a few:

Ashley Tisdale - Guilty Pleasure (much more fun than than her first album, it's hard to resist)
Jonas Brothers - A Little Bit Longer (the only album from them I like so far)
Britney Spears - In The Zone (also some individual Britney songs)
Stella Soleil - Dirty Little Secret (some pretty inventive pop even if her voice helps make this a guilty pleasure)
Ace Of Base - The Sign (song The Sign is the ultimate earworm)

Good/bad in music is also mostly subjective, though I wouldn't put Ashley's album in my best of 2009 list. All arts have a degree of subjectivity, but even more so music IMO.

[Rabrrrrrr]

41. Lovingly caressing linseed oil into Limbaugh's silky skin on a water bed with no sheets

[Turbineguy]

44. Guilty pleasure?

that's perversion!

[Roon]

42. Judge Judy..I have no televison

so when I go to visit Jason in Boulder..we sit and watch Judge Judy for an hour..

[KamaAina]

43. Less Than Perfect, now in reruns on Lifetime

Mornings are better when they start with Sara Rue! :loveya:

The hell of it, the flat-earth fundie dolt from The View is in it, too -- and she's good. :scared:
