Sure, often enough but I'm thinking the literal cobs of corn or kernels (is that what it's called?) that would come directly off the cob.and what about corn tortillas?I guess I don't see those things as corn specifically but point taken.

Wow, I went really far down the chain because you said you didn't eat it even when it was hidden in something else. But you don't count CORN tortillas?! Come on! I call foul. That's made almost completely of CORN meal. How about corn bread, corn flakes, corn chex...need I go on?It's very easy. The only corn I ever get is when it's hidden in something else...like, err, okay. I guess I don't eat corn.
Silly Alea.

I meant hidden in the same sense that I only eat carrots if they're hidden in a salad; I won't eat it in baby or adult carrot form otherwise. You know, obvious, original form. Though, for the record, I don't eat corn bread, corn flakes, or corn chex, though rice chex are yummy.

I have not seen Scarface, Fight Club, Citizen Kane, or any of the Godfather movies.

Well, I wasn't sure if everyone else knew those people/things she was talking about. There is always a chance that I don't know EVERYthing like I think I do. Even I can’t be a super smart, smarty-smart pants all the time.*

In my defence on the Ruskin one, I thought that was a totally reasonable one to be ignorant of, until a roomful of my housemates gave me shocked and appalled looks. I also had to fess up that I had no idea the pre-Raphaelites came after Raphael, and that earned even more shocked looks.I think some of you are using awfully strange definitions for "popular."

Yeah. Mark Twain was kind of sarcastic about Raphael. I should go and look up his paintings.
ETA: Wikipedia has it! The Miraculous Draught of Fishes! It's mentioned in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. I believe the line was something about how his art was so "fresh and unconventional" and "'The Miraculous Draught of Fishes' in which Raphael puts in a miracle of his own -- three men in a boat that wouldn't hold a dog."

Whoa, my mind has just been blown or confused or something. There's a (fantastic) novel by Jerome K Jerome called "Three Men in a Boat (to say nothing of the dog)" and it came out in the same year as A Connecticut Yankee... Was that a coincidence? Was that kind of thing a saying at the time?...
three men in a boat that wouldn't hold a dog."
One Duck to rule them all.

Woah. Dude.
If it helps, the original quote actually said "three men in a canoe which wouldn't hold a dog without upsetting."
Still, though. Weird.

All the same, I don't think using academics is the most accurate way of defining popular; not wrong by any means, just not the standards I would use. Then again, we're a bunch of nerds, so our idea of popular is also likely skewed more than I'd like to believe. :)

I finally thought of some!
I've only seen episode four of Star Wars.
I've only seen the first Indiana Jones (I don't count that Crystal Skull one, it was pretty bad).
I've never seen Back to the Future.
I've never seen Avatar.

Do yourself a favor and skip the second one. (Donny wouldn't let me skip it, he said that if everyone else had to suffer through it, I did too.) The third one is really good, though.

I agree that is the worst. Movie that is. I thought it was mediocre.This is the worst. Gah! See it!I've never seen Back to the Future.
You are from Jersey to me!*
No, seriously, I'm a bit surprised by that but I'm wondering when it is you first saw it. Child or adult?
*I will let you decide whether that is better or worse than being dead to me.

Hey, don't make that face! You know I love you, all the same. It's just a silly movie that I'm sure you'll see eventually. If you don't on your own, it'll just be an excuse for me to try to visit you again later on. Because, while I don't think we will have the time this go-round, you owe me at least one night in bed with ice cream, Little Mermaid, and general girliness.

I was 12ish, I think. I found Christopher Lloyd to be loathsome (well, irritating at least) and it ruined the WHOLE thing, just like Zach Galifianakis ruined both Due Date and- to a lesser degree- The Hangover for me.
Alea, you know I'm from Tennessee and I can only look with disdain on anyone from any further north than DC. I wish I were dead.

But...Lone Wolf Speech! I actually disliked most of The Hangover but thought Zach AlphamabetisIcan'tspellhisname saved it from complete dislike with that speech.

Is that face better? I don't even know why i've never seen it! It's even one of my older sister's favorite movies, that I know she's watched countless times!
Oh, I have also never seen The Karate Kid all the way though. I've seen parts, but I want to watch the whole thing!
