If you are not a music, film, beer, food, people,book etc SNOB...check in.

[ScreamingMeemie]

If you enjoy music as music, film as film, beer as beer...well, you get my point.

You who think you do know better? You are not better than me. You prove it with your my opinion uber alles attitude.

Sanity check. This stuff is meant to entertain, and if it changes public opinion along the way, More power to it.

I don't particularly care for Rap/HipHop for myself...although I admit to liking Eminem and that song "Get Low" by I have no idea who, because...just because.

I like movies. I like music. I like beer, people and books. :hi:

[LynneSin]

1. I am a bit of a beer snob

but for the rest I figured "Who am I to decide what is what?"

:shrug:

Hey, did you look at the Panda scheduled I PM'd you - they have more dates in April

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. MrG drinks MGD.

;) :hi:

When I clicked on the PM link all I got was an error page. :(

[LynneSin]

If you folks ever visit me I'll put a six-pack in the fridge

:D

[LynneSin]

9. Try this link for baby panda

http://nationalzoo.si.edu/forms/pandacubviewing/

BTW, there is a protest the last weekend of April. Come in a few days early and we can check out baby panda and then head up to the protest

[fishwax]

32. MGD is the new beer for beer snobs

well, at least for grown-ups, if the new ad they showed at the Oscar is any indication :rofl: (disclaimer: not making fun of MGD, just their advertisements equation of switching to MGD with buying a house, etc.)

[Road Scholar]

15. I'm a beer snob too. I prefer it in a glass but if it's cold, I'll take

it in a can. LOL:toast:

[billyskank]

2. I like MrsGrumpy

as if you didn't know. :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. I confess to being a bit of a billyskank snob.

:pals:

[hippiechick]

5. I've been called many things, but snob isn't one of them ...

Oh, wait ... now that I think about it, I did get called something akin to elitist bitch here in the Lounge several months back.

:rofl: As if that person had actually ever met or laid eyes on me ... :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Hehehe.

:hi:

[blondeatlast]

6. I have no discernible taste whatsoever. I like what you like too. nt

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. How could you? When I am not sure what I like even? nt

[blondeatlast]

10. I like being open to new things. No guarantee I'll like it, but I'll try.

What I won't do is call you names or accuse you of horrible things because you don't share my taste for hot okra pickles, for instance.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. I love hot okra pickles.

Snobbery is what it is...snobbery. Anyone not open to anything other than their own opinion can claim that title. :shrug: If you are open to other things, you are not a snob. :hi:

[GoneOffShore]

29. Yumm!!!

Have you ever had deep fried pickles?

[johnnie]

11. I personally dislike some things

But I have yet to find a good excuse to tell people what they should like or dislike.

[Heidi]

13. Thank you, MrsGrumpy.

I'm gonna ask this question of every so-called progressive who starts with the whole "I know better than _you_" thing about art and music: "Are we a Big Tent? Or a Country Club?"

There is no reason on earth why _anyone_ should have to defend their tastes art and music bullies and snobs. :grr:

P.S. :hug:

[GoneOffShore]

14. Here's a thought

I'm a definite snob about all the things you mentioned because I generally prefer quality over quantity.

Hence - I like all sorts of food, but don't eat in fast 'food' chains - they are part of big agribusiness. I buy my vegetables and meat from local producers, and try to eat organic. The only things we buy at the super market are olive oil, canned tomato sauce and the occasional duck breast.

Beer - well, it is a matter of personal taste, but I lived in the UK for ten years and really developed a taste for good English bitter. Not too cold, so I can taste it. And again, when I drink beer it's from the guys up the road in Kensington or the brewery in Delaware. I stay away from the big winemakers as well. Mostly French or Italian wine - the prices are great right now because they have a damn wine lake and I feel it's my responsibilty to keep it from breeching the levee.


Film - well, I'll watch almost any thing that they put up on the screen, after it's out of the theaters. Not paying cash to go watch most of the crap that's out there.

Music - Been listening to a lot of stuff for a lot of years. Not fond of emo or heavy metal or Toby Keith or Christian rock. But I do like a good choir singing Bach masses.

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Yay for you. But not my style. I'm probably wrecking my kids.

Someone should probably turn us in.


Rare is it that I go to the theater not because of crap, but because it's too expensive even if Zeus himself was on the screen. :hi:

[GoneOffShore]

28. That's the other thing

the expense.

And I don't like paying for expensive crap.

Hey, you're not wrecking them. But maybe limiting their food horizons?

[Lavender Brown]

16. What's even worse than being a snob

is wishing that the things you don't like just didn't exist at all. Some people want to live in Me me me land. :wtf: :banghead:

[ZombieNixon]

17. I'm a snob snob.

All you snobs must bow before my superior snobbery. :P :hi:

[edbermac]

18. I'm a porn snob...

If I'm watching a porn film with pretentious acting, I'll switch it right off...:evilgrin:

[ZombieNixon]

21. Your taste in porn sickens me!

:P

[Crazy Dave]

23. Or crummy background music

I think they all have the same music though.

[mongo]

27. Too much Evan Stone for ya?

[RandomKoolzip]

20. Well, I'll admit to some (okay, a LOT of) snobbery, but...

Hiphop IS music, "Brokeback Mountain" lost the Best Picture oscar because of aesthetics and not politics, and Whatever anyone else decides to put in their ears, eyes, and mouth is none of my fucking business.



Except for anime. That shit is dumb.

[Midlodemocrat]

22. I prefer to be called a liberal elitist. I think that moniker suits me.

[realisticphish]

24. To me

it's all about definitions.

If I define rap as 50 Cent and Eminem, yeah, I hate rap.

But I do like Cyprus Hill, Jurassic 5, and some Public Enemy.

But I PREFER cheap beer (except for Lebatt Blue :9), i like (most) books, and (most) movies

[Texasgal]

25. I've been known to crack open a budweiser

and listen to George Jones! Does that label me a Redneck? :hi:

I agree MrsGrumpy, Du can sure be weird sometimes eh?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

26. I take issue with one part...

"This stuff is meant to entertain"

In a lot of cases, maybe. But art is NOT about entertainment at all. Good art is rarely entertaining, actually. Good art should be poignant. Good art can be very disturbing. Good art should make the audience work.

I'm sorry, it just drives me nuts when people only watch movies, listen to music, or read books just to be entertained.

[LaurenG]

30. Well I'm checking in

I don't know much about anything. I do know a little about some things though.

[ContraBass Black]

31. I don't know if I'm aloud in.

Rap is my favorite kind of music, but my eyes go bloodshot any time I hear G-Unit. Does that make me a snob? :shrug:

[redqueen]

33. I'm with you, Mrs G.

Well, except for the beer thing... I prefer wine. So maybe that makes me kind of a snob, but not really, cause that's just what I prefer. But when I do drink beer, it's usually Miller Lite.... so doesn't that make me the opposite of a snob, right there?

:hi:

[merh]

34. I just like to grumble to hear myself grumble.

I like what I like and I don't like what I don't like and that is that. x(

Hey MrsG! :hi: :hug:

[Shine]

35. I'm a bit of a coffee snob, but I'm still a very nice person.

:hi:

[bigwillq]

36. Hey Mrs. G!

:hi: :hug:
Nice post! People are getting crazy around here!
