Cringe Trek

I mean she does look sexy in it but it also takes you out of the scene a little because it's so clearly their to appeal on a sexual level.

I remember once around 1998 I was sitting at home flipping through channels with my then-girlfriend. We came across a scene from VOY with Seven of Nine walking through a hallway talking with another character. We watched in silence for a few moments, and then my girlfriend turned to me and said, "I'm mesmerized by her breasts."

But, it just stands out as such blatant sex appeal that even Ryan and Mulgrew knew it.

Why "even" Ryan and Mulgrew? As working actresses in Hollywood I'd think they'd be more attuned to gratuitous appeals to the male gaze than most.

Because it was so blatant and they made no attempt to hide it at all. It's absurd levels that they didn't even pretend differently.

The Borg Queen was sexy by Borg standards, which is much the same way turkey bacon is bacon.

get me an eye implant and a unimatrix then. We have no queen but Alice Krige

I somehow have the feeling that Klingon cuisine has nothing on the Surströmming.

ok I read that link I'm terrified of this stuff without having ever smelled it. maybe someone can try eating it with a side of durian fruit.

I'd eat this over the live monkey brains through the table top.
I mean like who doesn't love Brie Cheese and some of that smells REALLY bad.

Cringe worthy is eating something that is still alive whilst being consumed.

Like a salad, you mean?

Salads are dead!
People rip lettuce leaves from their sibling leaves! Pull tomatoes from their family's tree, same with olives!
They rip onions from their nesting ground!
And don't even make me describe what happens to lemons!

Oysters on the half shell are technically still alive when they are served. And I love them.

I love chocolate but Marina Sirtis's delivery really does make me cringe. "Like you're sculpting it.."

I've learned everything I ever needed to know about oysters from Mr. Bean.

Even watching through it makes me feel nauseous. Yes, I know he's eating rotten oysters (to the point that the video above is the number 3 video result for "rotten oysters" on Google), but still. Yuck.

"Relish every bite..."
No thanks!

I'm telling you, Faces Of Death, monkey brains.
That'll fix you up.

I'm a fan of chocolate.

 

[Discofan]

Chocolate is fine... until you get sick of it.

I can eat a lot of chocolate before that happens.

 

[Discofan]

I can eat a lot of chocolate before that happens.

It's not a matter of quantity so much as one of repetition. If I eat chocolate every day, I know that sooner or later I'll be sick of it.

You're not getting what I was asking, but never mind.

But only if the chocolate has the exact same taste every time you eat it.

But only if the chocolate has the exact same taste every time you eat it.

Actually, it doesn't have the same taste, its taste becomes more and more like something I hate. I am often amazed by that. How can something (and I am not only talking about chocolate) that I once found so delicious, taste so bad that I can't even smell it without getting queasy?

That puts me in mind of when I was about sixteen (a very long time ago) I was traveling in Poland (the land of my ancestors) and once got seriously drunk on a particular brand of Vodka. In Polish, the brand name means "Bison Grass Vodka", In Polish, that's one word: "Żubrówka".

Anyway, I got drunk on that Vodka so badly that to this day the smell of that particular brand of Vodka makes me sick, although I am fine with any other alcohol, including other brands of Vodka. Weid, huh?
