These are a few of my least-favorite things...
- Any event that includes the words "wine" and "jazz." This does not, however, include the hilarity of watching tipsy upper-middle class white people back into each other's Lexus hybrids.
- The shitty vegetable selection @ the 5th Ave Kroger. Why do I have to go to Barboursville to get mustard greens and half-runner beans?
- Wendy's french fries.
- Star Wars Episodes I & III
- John Cena
- ABC's entire prime time line-up
- Local newscasts trying to stretch 25 minutes worth of news over 90+ minutes.
- Stewart's hot dogs.
- Substitute clergy using the pulpit to hit me up for money for some charity du jour while the rector is on vacation.
- Pizza with country sausage and/or banana peppers.
- Overly obsessed fans of Charlaine Harris or Stephanie Meyer (I said overly, honey, I'm not talking about you. Don't make me sleep on the couch.).
- Shoppers in the Rt. 60 WalMart. Unlike the relatively friendly patrons of the B-ville, Hurricane, and Chesapeake Wally Worlds, the folks who shop at the University Heights location are rude and pushy a-holes (Note: this includes me when I'm there. Kill or be killed.)
- Our local Coca-Cola bottler's decision to discontinue Vault Zero.
- Astroturfing (both online and in sports).
- Setting off fireworks in urban areas on non-holiday weekdays. I get it. You went to a state where all sorts of explosives are solk along the highway. Please save them for your cousin's farm in Wayne County on the 4th of July.

What is the big deal with Stewart's hot dogs? Everyone in H-Town acts like they're the nectar of the gods, but I can't stand them. Is it because they're green? Is that it -- it's a Marshall thing? Me, I don't like green hot dogs. Or chili that has the consistency of snot.
It has to do with tradition. Stewart's is where people's grandfathers took them when they were kids, so the place has fond memories, regardless of low quality weenies, bean-based sauce, or upside-down presentation.
Stewart's is actually a pretty good indicator of whether or not someone in town grew up in H-ton. If they like 'em, they have to be from the city. If not, they usually brought their neutral palates from somewhere else.
The 5th Ave. Kroger is amazing when compared to the one of 1st St.
I would love to be able get greek yogurt in my own neighborhood.
True dat.
1st St. Kroger always smells like an old milk carton and there are never enough lines open, especially later in the evening.
So right about the Huntington Wal-Mart. Customers can be amazingly rude and inconsiderate. On something totally different, some nights there it's redneck hell. Speaking of which, there's one store in downtown Huntington that's yuppie hell. I was in there once and figured I wasn't going back if I could help it.
There are still stores downtown? I thought that it was now all over-priced restaurants with bad parking....
What happened to Wendy's french fries? They used to be great and now they are limp and crap.
I have to say that I watched "Twilight" and it was poor. The whole thing was a kids story and it was just creepy thinking about a 100+year old guy who happens to look like a teenager, making out with a another teenager. Plus, he had barely any cool vampire powers. Give me Blade anyday.
