The "Over-Rated" Thread!!

Mother Teresa

HA! HA! HA! A little story for you: The best friend of my childhood entered a famous and elite order of the Roman Catholic Church at a young age. He is now an aged and venerable priest. He told me that some years back the college at which he teaches was awarding Mother T. an honorary doctorate. After spending time squiring her around the campus and whatnot, the Chaplain ("a real nice guy, my priestly informant told me) remarked to my friend, "I am sorry we are awarding her an honorary degree because she's such a bitch!" My friend remarked that he'd heard His Holiness John Paul II was quite afraid of her.

It ain't the Godfather. It ain't Goodfellas.

Has Bruno Mars been mentioned yet?

Nope....

Surprised that no one has posted this cheating disgrace.

By me, no less.

They just don't make them like they used to.

Watching channel 4 for the fireworks. Damn. Selena Gomez is wick wick wack!

No Country overrated? No way. It was the 2nd or 3rd best film of 2007.

I just didn't get it. I mean, it's a good watch...but they made it out to be a classic.....

Well, personal preference, what's considered 'good' or 'bad', is subjective... and you're a fucking idiot if you didn't 'get' that movie. It's a classic.

 

[Zé Ferreira]

Quite a list there.

BUT FIVE GUYS?!?!?!?

 

[hossoso]

'Outsider' politicians. 'Outsider' politicians do not run for office, they plant bombs or mail ricin. They don't run for office.

 

[Grand Potentate]

Quite a list there.

BUT FIVE GUYS?!?!?!?

Five Guys is awful.

 

[Zé Ferreira]

Here we go.

 

[Grand Potentate]

Here we go.

Come back to me when you've got a stronger position on this topic.

And, before you get all huffy, you can backsearch SF for my views on this topic. They go back a LONG way.

 

[Grand Potentate]

Five guys would be so much better if they just stopped wrapping their burgers in foil, thereby effectively steaming the shit and transforming it into a sodden, sorry mass of grease.

Absolutely

 

[hossoso]

Everybody needs to chill the fuck out about 5 Guys before someone spits out a sentence that begins with "What, bro?!?!" and totally regrets it.

I got the movie asshole! I didn't get all of the hoopla that it's a "classic."

Shrimp is overrated.

 

[OfficePants]

I'll draw the line more succinctly for you:

A proper shrimp, the right subspecies, freshly caught, properly prepared is excellent.

Then we have the nasty rubberized shrimp on chain restaurant's menus (actually almost all restaurants) and frozen food aisles. The "add shrimp $2.00" salads, Sunday brunch shrimp, cocktail party shrimp, those nasty restaurant seafood and overcooked pasta dishes, shrimp sandwich combinations, etc.

So I can summarize that 97% of the shrimp consumed out there is the shitty stuff. Only rarely do you see good ones, then its worth eating.

 

[Betelgeuse]

Clean eating is overrated.

anything drizzled with truffle oil.

A friend gave me a bottle of truffle oil once. I soaked tennis balls in it, which I used to train my dog onto the scent. Worked up until I could bury small potatoes soaked in the oil around the bases of trees and send him out to find and dig them up. So I now have my very own truffle dog. I read somewhere that truffles do grow in southern England, but we have yet to actually find one.

Well get to it, man! This would make for a wonderful thread.

Well I read on the internet that's how you do it. On the internet.

 

[OfficePants]

Truffle.

What a stupid word.

I'd prefer we call it a faux shit nugget.

 

[ter1413]

Bump...

SOOOOO over-rated as an actor that it isn't even funny. 1 brilliant role in 1990 has made this guy's career.

 

[ter1413]

^^
And remember, he played his role in between DeNiro and Pesci. Quite a supporting cast in that flick.

 

[ter1413]

WAS ODELL BECKHAM JR.'S CATCH THE BEST EVER? NO!



The Giants lost. Fact. Great catch but hardly the best ever. They gave up a TD on the next possession.

 

[OfficePants]

Was that proven a fake?

 

[OfficePants]

Of course it's a fake.

Overrated, but not bad. Not great.

The show Friends.

This show is definitive in defining white people and the 90s. Black people and other minorities have no knowledge of the show, even the most uninterested NPR listener can name the cast. It is a time capsule, even if it was a mediocre show.

Not true.

How do NY Rangers have the nerve to call this guy "the king" and he/they have won exactly ZIP?
