Things you should NEVER try

First off, the movie Zombie Land is just so much better than any other movie ever produced that it is mind numbing. The fact that it was overlooked for an Oscar for best picture is as great an injustice as when Dumbo edged out Citizen Kane for best picture in 1939. Or perhaps when Dances with Wolves beat Tank Girl. You know, epic injustice. The type of injustice that should require a United Nations special commission. But No! They are too busy stealing dollars provided by U.S. taxpayers to do anything useful like drafting a "seriously toned letter of concern".

Anyways, sorry for the little side track there. One of us had a, upon hindsight, less than stellar idea to buy a box of Twinkies for the movie. (For those of you who do not know what a Twinkie is, it is a delicious sponge cake confection with a creamy filling produced by the Hostess Bakeries. Mostly, it is a coronary event in a five ounce package.) Every time a Twinkie is mentioned or shown in the movie, everyone in the room must take a bite of a Twinkie. It sounds like a fun concept which would aid in the enjoyment of watching the movie. Not, of course, that the movie needs any additional enjoyment, beings how Zombie Land required so much awesome that the America had to start a national program, similar in scope and effort to the Manhatten Project, to assemble as much awesome requireds to fill this movie.

The trouble is, they mention Twinkies a lot. A whole lot. Several boxes of Twinkies lot. So, it sounded like a bright idea to have some fun with the movie, but upon reflection, that much confectionary goodness is likely to cause second-hand diabetes by people who even come close to me for the next few days.

So, in light of the Zombie Land - Twinkie fiasco. I invite all of you to provide some things in your life that you have tried, which you probably never should have in an effort to prolong the lives of other people on this forum. Thank you.
