Reasons I think I might be missing a chromosome:
1) Dirty Dancing I don't get it. In one 24 hour period freshman year, I was forced to watch this "movie" twice. I sat through it dutifully, but frankly I think it's crap. I don't get Patrick Swayze. I don't get the dancing. I don't care if any one puts Baby in a corner.
2) Sex and the City All right, I'll be honest, they really lost me with the "shiksa princess" story line, but even before that this show was kind of mystifying. I like shoes and shopping as much as the next girl, but Carrie was whiny, petulant and ultimately, completely unsympathetic. Sure the show was funny at times, but it's not my life philosophy or anything. And I would never pay to have a taupe colored tour bus take me to Magnolia for cupcakes. I can walk there just fine myself.
3) The NY Giants This past fall I had a conversation with a girl who admitted that sometimes she wished she'd been born a boy so she could play football. Maybe I'm not alone...
4) Offsides It's just not that complicated. You're in an offsides position if you're closer to the goal line than the second to last defender and the ball. But it's only an offense if you're interfering in play. Granted this is made more complicated to judge because football (Europe) doesn't use instant replay. But making Angela Merkel (the Chancellor of Germany) draw a diagram of offsides to prove she's really a football fan? Puh-lease.
