"Boris, is that why you 'truly hate your (Mia T's) graphics'?"

No, I hate them for the same reason I hate Brussels Sprouts.

Once a decade I will taste Brussels Sprouts, to see if I still gag--and if they taste as awful as I remember from the last time.

Nothing could possibly taste that bad, I tells myself.

Then my taste buds remind me that something can. People who like Brussels Sprouts are not of this Earth; trust me on this.

Nobody could possibly waste time preparing such ugly, distracting, and poorly-designed HTML rubbish...but one little taste of Mia T reminds me that they can.

That's rich! Yeah, I'm in agreement about that...(brussels sprouts) I find it odd, that you go back and try them again every so often, once was enough for me...

Sounds like you keep giving Mia T another chance, though...unlike Brussels sprouts, her tastes might change...

brussel sprouting...

I guess I missed Boris' brussel sprouting.

The fundamental problem with brussel sprouting is its premise that the brussel sprouter is the arbiter of good taste, correct thinking, elegant expression, etc.

Corollary:
If not rational thought, certainly good taste dictates that if the brussel sprouter willingly samples some of the detested veggie, he should keep his mouth shut and chew, not mouth off to the chef.
