Well besides the fact that it tastes so good, I feel that it helps bring up my patriotism. Cause hey, what is more American then apple pie? So why do I need to shore up my patriotism? Some of the following are the reasons.
1. I hate blue collar 80's "down with the man" music ala; Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, and Billy Joel. Not my angst.
2. I hate the Wizard of Oz. Not the book, which I love, but the Judy Garland movie. I love that my mom does too. (The exception being when it is played with Pink Floyds, "Dark Side of the Moon." Then it is awesome.)
3. I hate It's a Wonderful Life. Boring.
4. I hate American cheese. Not any cheese made in America, but the plasticy Kraft stuff.
5. I think E.T. is totally overrated. Which is especially ironic since my maiden name is Tobler and so my initials were E.T. and I was born in 1982 the year it came out. (My dad got me an cool poster for my 20th birthday that said E.T. 20th anniversary.)
6. I think lighting fireworks in the driveway is dangerous and a waste of money.
7. I hate mustard, mayonnaise, and miracle whip. (Sandwiches can be a bit dry for me.)
Now why not list these under Things That Must Go? Well I am an adult and can appreciate that some things I don't like can be just fine for other people. Aren't I so condescendingly generous?
The picture is from a site called Mental Floss, which I love. When I am done with this pregnant thing I totally need this t-shirt.

I hate ET!!!! Jake and Joe used to torment me that we had the same name-he scared the living daylights out of me!!!
i also hate american cheese...unless it is gooey and melted over ham in a grilled ham and cheese sandwich! then it's good!
i also hate "It's a wonderful Life". It's not so wonderful until the last like thirty seconds and by then you're so depressed that it just doesn't make up for the misery, plus the whole scene with the idiot brother who loses the money! i mean, come on! How hard can it be??? The whole thing would be so much simpler if he hadn't been so clueless!
Mmmm pie.
