It’s the Guilty Pleasures meme<\/a>, even though, as I review my answers, they’re pretty freakin’ tame:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. CD I have in my car that I roll up the windows to listen to:<\/strong> I simply don’t play my CDs that loud. Or, if I do, I consider it a net benefit to the universe. I guess, at this point, if I had to name something, it would be an audio book (whatever I’m listening to at the moment).\n
  2. Book I read flat so no one could see the title:<\/strong> I don’t read books flat! Good Lord, don’t you know what that does to the spine? Instead, particularly as I walk around at lunch reading, I (a) aim the front cover down (since it’s usually the Flashing Rocket Ships or Scantily-Clad Elf-Women or other gaudy genre bits that’s the most embarrassing to see), and (b) use a piece of paper along the spine of the book so my sweaty mitts don’t wear it down (and, coincidentally, so that the cover is even more obscured …<\/p>\n
  3. Crappiest song ever sung at karaoke: <\/strong>I have only one standard at karaoke: Secret Agent Man. <\/em>And I have no shame.<\/p>\n
  4. Bad movie I watch repeatedly:<\/strong> There are no bad movies, only movies that folks look down on. Probably the least successful <\/em>movie that I watch most frequently is Undercover Blues<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n
  5. Article of clothing I love though I know it’s wrong:<\/strong> Most of my CBLDF tees are a scosh, um, rude (intentionally so, of course). As far as fashion gaffe sort of wrong, can’t think of anything too bad; Margie usually keeps me from embarrassing myself.<\/p>\n
  6. What I order at the bar when no one is listening:<\/strong> Whatever sounds sweet and froofy that doesn’t involve banana liqueur, mango liqueur, watermelon liqueur, melon liqueur, or strawberries.<\/p>\n
  7. Fast food item I adore:<\/strong> Chili cheese fries from Carl’s Jr. I’ve gone to some extraordinary lengths to secure same. Next down the list would be the double-beef cheeseburger at McD’s, a\/k\/a “Coronary on a Bun” (“and would you like fries with that?”).<\/p>\n
  8. A TV show that is a good example of the downfall of civilization that I love anyway:<\/strong> Most of the really awful shows I watch are reruns from the 60s, so obviously civilization is falling down pretty slowly …<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
