I Just Don't Get It

  • I'm not a big fan of "juvenile" humour either, but for some reason Jim Carrey cracks me up all the time. Maybe partially because it seems he's made of rubber. I don't know. But I enjoy him. One of the only actors in existence that I can appreciate in both comedies and dramas.

    I don't get Tom Cruise. :? Or vegemite. Who would willingly eat something that smells like death :shock:

    Vegemite is awesome. It is it's own food group - very good for you, and tastes awesome too - yes, I have been known to eat it straight from the jar on occasion. BUT, I will grant you it does seem to be an acquired taste. I have yet to meet anyone who was born in Australia who doesn't like it - I'm sure those people exist, but I haven't met them - and it's usually one of a child's staple foods here - vegemite on toast, or vegemite sandwiches. It's great in meatloaf, and casseroles, and other dishes, can cure coldsores, and is also great for freaking out Americans, haha! ;) A useful tip for non vegemitans is to start slowly - put a very very small amount on a piece of bread AFTER buttering, then work your way up to slathering it on. But seriously, it's like our national food - it's awesome - what's not to get?

    But I'm with you on the whole not getting Tom Cruise thing. He doesn't do anything for me personally.

    My husband sent me some back when he was still in Oz - as soon as I opened the package I smelled something horrid and thought he must be a terrorist. :lol: I tried to give some to my cat who eats everythingand she ran away. :? :lol: But he is an Aussie through and through so we have a bunch stocked in the house. But he's not allowed to kiss me unless he brushes his teeth thoroughly after eating it...twice :lol: It's a taste you have to be born for I think...you just can't acquire one for that stuff.

    I don't get Cameron Diaz, dreadfully overated creature. Carey I find him quite funny at times.

    That's right, CBG! Don't let anyone tell you different. I divorced my ex aussie wife because she tried to feed that shit to me one time... Unconditional love, my ass. No vegemite!

  • SNL has a great cast right now and this year has been good so far. Jim Carrey was hilarious. I don't get how you don't get it. But we're not all going to laugh at the same stuff.

    Oh no, I remember it well - it was one of extreme pleasure. You looked like it was the most amazing thing you'd ever tasted in your entire life. So, therefore I surmise that you were secretly eating it while I was sleeping, and then just telling me you didn't like it to keep up appearances. ;)
