What things are you snobby about now that you weren't 5 years ago?

[shecky]

I'm starting to feel a little snobbish about the internet, too. Not only have I gone FireFox, but I'm now working on a shecky blocker add on. It's going to be called the Green Couch shecky Blocker 2009 Quantum EAC Disruptor.

You can try to keep me out, but I will find you. I WILL FIND YOU.:cross:

You just called me an EAC. I don't know whether to be honored or pissed.

*Beer - I used to thing that Pacifico and ***** Modelo were "good" beers

what the hell are you talking about? ***** modelo is a GREAT beer.
i'm a total beer snob, too. of course, i'm overcritical of my own beers as well so that makes it ok.

Cars: I recently bought a Porsche. I will never again want to drive anything lesser. It's absolutely choice. If you ever have the chance, I highly recommend it.

Beer: Duh.

Laurel, you nailed it on the cheese. I went to the Beecher's shop in Seattle when I was up there last year and brought home some awesome cheese. I'm spoiled for life now.

I think just food in general. My wife has become a very good cook and will try to find the best ingredients when making a recipe. Good bread, cheese, and cuts of meat make all the difference in the world.

And the beer...

This whole thread and everyone in it is EAC. Just look at the title and subject matter.

I've become less snobby about damn near everything since I started brewing, but I don't suspect the one caused the other.

I started out drinking Micros, my friends tried to get me to drink BMC stuff, couldn't do it then, cant do it now.

Shaving also. DE Razor with a badger brush, and shaving cream from England. Best stuff ever.

Sheets, my mother in law spoiled me.

Speakers, built my own and they are some of the best money i have ever spent.

I used to be a wine snob, then I found out they actually do make good box wine.

Aluminium, and the spelling of. (My spellchecker just told me I spelled it wrong again. (sigh)

Cheese. Ive always loved it, but it took me quite a while to find good sources in Ohio, so now I can be snobby about it again. Now come to think on it, I believe my first drunken rant on HBT was a cheese rant.

Hmmm hey Fingers, thanks for reminding me! carpentry!! I been a carpenter all my life, did the apprenticeship, tech college and everything. Since coming to the US I noticed that people who hack at wood call themselves carpenters. People who change their own oil call themselves mechanics....So I guess in the last 8 years I have become snobby about trade qualifications.

Tea! I can no longer ask for it in a public place. I either get lukewarm dish water poured directly from a witch's nipple, or an offering of all kinds of multi-coloured crap with such silly names as to have no meaning any more! I just want a decent cup of f*cking tea! Tea with milk and sugar made by a company that uses roller skating talking chimpanzees in their advertising campaigns! Is that too much to frigging ask for!?




edit: I just realised that last paragraph may be a bit confusing. Here are the talking chimps (Without the roller skates)

There are lots of things I'm very particular about, but I just can't bring myself to discuss them in this thread. It just seems so... well, ... snobby!

sluts

A lot of people say that one $200 hooker is better, but I've always been a firm believer in choosing quantity over quality. I mean, come on - 100 $2 hookers? Who can resist? Sure, you'll probably get about 46.2 pre-op trannys on average, but is that really so bad? Sometimes the life stories can be just as good as the furtive, indifferent sex.

Also, I like tea. But I'm not a snob about it like some people...

Shaving with a DE razor is incredibly sexy. Just be very light with the touch.

Black box wine is actuially good.

So is Dunkin Donuts Coffee.

Hey if it is is good it is good, don't matter where it comes from.

I feel for you, but only while I'm on this site, oh and colour in HTML.

Knifes. I give global knife to people that don't have them. Plus a sharpener and a proper cutting board. I hate small blunt knifes!

Pots. I still have my pots I bought when I moved out of home. Two sets on sale. 20 years later I still use them. Thick bases.

Driving. I am the best. Everybody else silly. Get out of the slow lane, pull over, stop putting on makeup, stop tying your tie (seriously, I saw this whilst walking to work over the tasman bridge one day!), stop picking your nose, don't drive 1 foot from my bumper, don't pull in front on me...

Food, coffee.. I no longer like instant coffee.

shucks I need to go to bed.

Beer, Coffee, yogurt, cheese, pc parts.

I dont really think of it as snobbish, it's just that as you start to do research (made possible now by the internet) you learn how things are made and you become aware of what to look for and what's available. Back in the day you'd just go to the local store and get what was available. Now a days, I can make it myself my way, or order it online, I dont have to let the local supermarket decide for me.
