Guilty Pleasures! You know.The stuff you're not supposed to indulge in,or do,but you do it anyway.LOL. Mine's oysters.I LOOOOVE 'em.And you're really not supposed to have them too often,they're kind of bad for you...But I just get in the mood for them and then can't help myself. LOL I had a heck of a time working with this pic actually.Maaaaaaaan!Oysters are UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGLY!I never really looked at them before.Just sloshed it down,lol.Now I've seen details of oysters I would've been better off not seeing!Sigh...Guess I'm in the market for a new guilty pleasure now,lol. Soooo...what's yours????

Mine would by my drinky-poo. I like to have a cocktail at night...though I try to limit it to a glass of wine during the work week. Just one drink, that is all I ask! :o) I have a fondness for vodka. Splash in some craneberry juice, and you have the makings of a yummy martini. I have some drink books and like to try out different recipies every now and then. Great idea for a Simone Marlenalouche! I can't say I have the same fondness for oysters that you do, but this is a great shot of them. Get a few drinks in me and I might slurp just about anything! Ummm, that came out wrong ... scratch that. ;^P

that's a great shot marlene.. i know some find them disgusting but i for one happen to luv oysters.. super simon idea!

Hmmmm, I wonder what your "guilty pleasure" will be ... Dead Bird Brand caviar? ;^P

OH MY GOD!!! How can you eat that???? That looks sooooo nasty...but tasty...ooooh ooooh oooooh I RIMED!!! YAAAAAAAAY! Super-shot by the way. And Kort...WOW!!! That is classy!!! Hmmm...what should i put up here (and dont anyone say you have to put up WITH ME...pffft)...hmmmm...dont have any M&Ms so i reckon i need to do some fridge-browsing. See ya in a while.

Excellent Simone btw. #:O) Message edited on: 11/17/2005 12:55

LOL! Thanks guys.Actually it think it's kinda stinky...well,definately the oysters were after about an hour.LOL.I didn't realise that little bit either.No wonder you have to eat them right away,you wouldn't want to any later than that!Peeeeeeeeee-YEW!!!!! Gotta agree with you on the vodka,Kort.I actually like it with lemonade...that or as a (YUM!) Bloody Mary....which is basically a liquid version of oysters with cocktail sauce,I guess.LOL.At least there's nothing gross looking about them.I should've done that instead! ;^) Now let's see if this works.Been having mucho prob's getting into the forum today!Grrrrrrr.

LOL I meant the pic is stinky,not the thread! And I forgot to tell you Kortalouche,I love your shot!Love that glass!Great job Mr.D!!!!

Thanks Mrs. Stinky ;^P Don't be "shellfish" with those compliments! 8] I wonder what Andreas is going to come up with...coulda sworn it would be something with M&Ms.....

ROTFLMAO...."shellfish"...HAHAHAHA!!! Will ya stop kidding around Kort...youre distracting me from figuring out what to upload....hmmmmmm

Mrs. Stinky???????????????????????????????? Thanks alot! :^/ And Andreas,ummmmmm 'nasty' and 'tasty' don't exactly rhyme,lol. Hmmm maybe yours could be smiley-abuse... ;^P

Sssssh...i dont abuse any smilies....

Okay then...heres my little "guilty pleasure". Due to some M&M-shortage, i had to take the second best. Im fairly convinced im the only one (perhaps Modesty as well) that uses this stuff:

SNUS!!!

Nooooo...its not plant-soil, even though it looks like it. Its a form of tobacco that you put under your lip. Nothing like chewing tobacco...not that i have ever tried that though....you DON`T wanna chew this stuff. Anyway...this form of tobacco is incredibly common here in Sweden. Especially where i live i think. Not that many people smoke, and those that do...usually quits smoking and pick this nasty habit up instead. Its said to be less damaging to your health. I tell ya...theres nothing like a cup of coffee, some RR-time...and a little "snus" under your lip to fulfill your evening. Well i wouldnt mind a glass of "julmust" and some M&Ms though...sigh.

LOL at garden soil. Under your lip???????????????? Uhh,okay. Lovely snus pick Andreas,LOL.Ummm,don't you end up swallowing some of it if you're drinking? And LOL,"julmust"?What's that?

Heheheh, garden soil. More like compost. =oD Hey, we all have our guilty pleasures, I'm not gonna judge. That is a great photo you took of your snus Andreas. Hey throw some on an oyster and down it with some vodka...a recipe for happiness!

Low Cut Frocks and Blue Bonnets... I find hard to resist. ~~~~~ The Oysters and Vodka have also worked wonders for My Libido...until I saw Zackos nasty habit. ~~~~~

AW!LMAO!Don't you look sweet!Thanks for joining in brother Brian.Lovely 'frock' ya got there!Dead Bird Brand goes haute couture.LOL...Have you shared this little guilty pleasure with the good Monsignor yet?...Then again,don't they wear red dresses,too? ;^P LOL Thanks for sharing!

HEHEH and love the cuffs and vodka pic.. hmm maybe ill run out and find some cloves... uhm mike would freak he is a health teacher...haha

me...i love sweets but i rarely indulge anymore. i'm borderline diabetic and try not to eat much in the way of refined sugar. Here's my first studio shot. not very visually appealing i'm afraid. *sigh*. Back to the drawing board. :) Marlene, fantastic image but damn those look disgusting!!! eeeeeewwwwwww! they're SLIMY!!!! Sorry. :( I've never tried one and never will!!!! And besides that, i'm allergic to shellfish (among other things). Kort...very nice photo!!!! quite stunning! i used to like to have a drink occasionally but i can't drink anymore. Andreas, nice picture but think i'll pass on the chew. Kimmers, i love the smell of cloves. :) Joe, you collect them? Kinky!!!! :) Tell you a secret. Kemal and i once hung a pair of cuffs on our bedroom wall just for kicks...just to see people's reactions. haha! we thought it was funny. Brian, now don't you look adorable!!! you're so silly! ok folks...gotta run to the grocery store. catch youns later! :) nice thread, Marlene! :)

-oysters -wodka -snus -Low Cut Frocks and Blue Bonnets -cuffs -cloves (not pictured) -sweets Quite a list so far. I find it interesting seeing what everyone consider's a guilty pleasure. I know your vices...now I can exploit them! Mua hahahaaa! Brian -- you look so happy in your indulgence. Joe -- I think I heard about you on the news. I used to have a pair of manacles, but that is another story... Sheila -- That is a TERRIFIC studio shot! Fun stuff everyone...keep'em coming!

OK OK I GOT ONE that i have a pic of hehe ( snickers...)! other than suckin on cloves... Ok my secret sin ... I like to take pictures and get away with it where its _not allowed!! _ LOL Here is an actuall-the real one done in the 1880s.. painting done by Renoir... no picture taking was allowed in this limited timed gallery strictly OFF Limit and when the gaurd walked the other way oh yeah i got this ... an original... yep.. she came back and said someone said you took a picture i deleted the one before it... she didnt know i stole this shot.. yes i am evil... muhahaha ... tell me i cant do it and i will try ...LOL

I just stole it off You Smudgie!!!!!! A few alterations...another "Dead Bird Brand " aquisition for the Share Holders.

ROTflmao @ Tedz ....

[@Marlene - super super great idea! :D @kimmie - hmmm, naughty naughty girl!] The characterization of that shot with oysters would be just a single work...Yuuuuckkkkk!!! but since they are damn tasty, well...one cand eat them - blindfold. As for my....I have a long long list (always with red wine :D), but for the moment...I have this "winter atmo"...

These are all cool images... Oysters are like hmmm....Image is excellent though.I can eat one baked oyster then that's it. Swallow fast.I'll take mussels or clams any day over them.Not raw. Kort you did real good on that image.looks tasty, if it was non alcoholic though. Andreas you did a real nice shot there. I think I ate dirt as a kid the odd time LOL...Tedz ya funny guy... Cool pic. Joe....I won't ask...Nice lighting. Yummmy Sheila..... Could be an ad for a mag!!! Kimmers ya brat.... Mihai I love those two things too. Nice presentation... 3 times lol... This is just a snack I grabbed tonight and is kinda lame compared to...But I love this peanut butter and banana sandwich.

LOL at all you guys!Thank you for posting!I was beginning to think I had internet cooties or something,lol. Joe...ummmm....can't see handcuffs as 'tame'...so I'll just let it go there,ok?LOL Hi Zabeth!Nice to see you here!And always nice to meet another oyster-o-phile!Huge huggs back sweetie! Sheila!I like your shot!It's very clean and crisp!I think you did great for your first try...Certainly better than I could do!Shame you're allergic.They're actually quite delicious...once you get past the UGLY factor,lol. Aw Kimmie!I've had clove cigarettes!Interesting smell they have,lol. Glad you posted BOTH of your guilty pleasures!I love Renoir,too...I could never have done what you did!My hat is off to you,girl! Beautiful shots Mikan!Mmmmmm garlic!I love garlic,too!But hmmm what a deal-breaker that can be,lol.I've discovered when thinking about this thread,I have a long list myself! So...do we have any other takers?Huh? Huh?...LOL.

@Marlene - I'd say about garlic: MY PERSONAL HEART-BREAKER! :))

Cool guilty pleasures you all have. I have a bad one... This one is probably one of my worst...Smoking...since I was 16..I'll be thirty-six in 10 days... I plan to stop before Dec. 14(this year). I already quit three times this year so I know it can be done...

Geez, we got ALL the makings of SOME party here!! Marlenes Oysters - never tried 'em before! Heard somewhere they're an APHRODISIAC ......hmmmm?!?! Korts - Vodka - with pineapple juice or iced tea (oh yeah) Andreas - SNUS - Sorry... I'll pass on that ..it's SKOAL or CHEW here in the (US)....can't stand it when people SPIT it out! (YUCK!) TEDZ FASHION Show - Nice low cut FROCK there, really accentuates those huge...er TATS of yours! (MANLY HUGZ!) Sheila's SWEEETS...YUM-MY gotta love'em! KIMMERS - SHOWING A bit of FINE ART (from her spy mission) Mihai - Special - Chocolate Covered GARLIC ( to keep them Vampires away!) DOUG's delicious desert- PB&B sandwiches and for those that wish to...coolj001's - SMOKERS ROOM Then I'll dress up as my favorite TV actor - ERIC ESTRADA in full C.H.I.P.S. getup as Frank "Ponch" Poncherello and CRASH the party and SLAP the CUFFS on ALL you PERPS for throwin' this SHINDIG and causing a Public DISTURBANCE! Some of you may have to "ASSUME THE POSITION" and be FRISKED ...so just be aware!

LOL @ Joe...and everyone else for that matter. This is a hilarious Simone. I doubt what I come up with next will be so...revealing. =o] BTW, Mihai, I LOVE baked garlic. Put in a garlic roaster at 350 with some olive oil for 45 minutes, turning once. Mmmmmm. The trick to them not being a deal breaker is that everyone involved in -- whatever -- has to eat them. Then you don't notice any odor! ;oP

JOe you are too fun!!!! hehe thanks for the smile this morning- i liked the party in your head!!!! ( slips out from under you and gets away from your cuffs just in time) :O)

Excellent pics here! Such an interesting topic. Wish I was more creative this morning, but I just don't have it in me it seems. :P So here is my guilty pleasure....not real exciting. It's coffee.....sort of. The mix is vanilla coffee, a little regular coffee, some cinnamon creamer, and now with the holidays, I add peppermint mocha creamer (non dairy). So there it is.....most people find this gross and too sweet, but I have a sweet tooth. :)

Great pics everybody!Glad y'all decided to join the party,lol!For a while there I thought my ugly oysters had frightened everyone away! LMAO at Joe.Sounds like a fun party indeed!And yeah they're supposed to be an aphrodesiac but I never noticed any such effect.I can't publicly say why I think it's thought to be so.So I'll just leave it at that.LOL ;^) Doug, your little snacky looks yummy,even if it is rather tame.LOL.I guess you'll be the designated driver! ;^P Mmmmm Danielle!That sounds delicious!I can't make a decent cup of coffee to save my life.I have to buy mine every morning.Pumpkin Spice from Seven-11.Yum! And Jeff,I quit once for over a year.But then I went back to it.That's the thing.You can never have another one or you will slowly end up going back to it full-time.Good luck to you on your quitting this time.Great pic and Happy Birthday in advance! Thanks everyone for your great responses!I hope the party doesn't end here but it WOULD be funny if the 'party' ended with Danielle's coffee.LOL.How appropriate!!!!!

Fantastic pictures guys! Mihai, i ADORE garlic...eat it just about every day! Damia, i almost put coffee up. I think coffee IS exciting!! There's so many varieties, so many ways to fix it, and i have some Starbucks peppermint syrup and ginger syrup left from last year. OMG, i LOVE that stuff. i haven't completely stopped indulging in refined sugar, and sometimes when the craving gets really back, i'll add some of that peppermint syrup to my coffee. Talk about heaven!!! sigh Doug, now that's what i call a sandwich!! one of my favorites actually!!! :) Also goes great on a blueberry bagel! :) Jeff, hang in there, buddy! Trying to stop smoking is not easy. Kemal told me about a month ago he wanted to stop and i was thrilled. Basically he's always enjoyed smoking. Anyway, he's been smoking since he was about 16 also (he's 41). For the past month he's been doing GREAT!!! He used to smoke over a pack a day. For about a month now, he smokes anywhere from 0-3 cigarettes a day. I'm so proud of him!! Anyway, i think you've made a wise decision to stop, Jeff!!!!! Good for you!!! :)

Good for Kemal. I wish him luck! If he can keep it at 0-3 a day, I think he's more or less quit. We do worse things to our body anyway. :)

It would be appropriate to end with coffee, but I hope it is just an intermission before some more GUILTY PLEASURES are exposed. This has been a great Simon(e), way to go Marlene! I'm a big coffee fan and pride myself in making the perfect cup. Kona coffee is my favorite, but that stuff is $DEAR$ so it is a rare treat. I make it slightly stronger than recommended, putting a dash of cinnamon in while it brews. I also add a pinch of salt to the grounds...it mellow the flavor out. Got that trick from a novel, but hey, it works.

Speaking of work...better get back to it. ;] Oh yeah, I like my coffee a little sweet too, and my favorite creamer is french vanilla.

Thank you Kort.I hope it's only an intermission,too.I'd love to know Pascalou's guilty pleasure and we have yet to see Cindy's so maybe the party isn't over yet. But sigh....I'm always the last to leave a good party,LOL. You're up next! Good luck Kemal!You're almost there!

LOL at you guys. Jock,I'm sure you can think of something...

I thought of this I on the computor too much. I like to move my camera when takening photos. Why i do this? Because I indulge in this I an addicted to this lol I need help to stop but can not lol I forgot my camera today and miss some lovely shots of a free band. and when I got home I thought of painting my face and going back to take photos. but that off the wall. Yes I indulge in off the wall things too lol. I did walk up to this real up town place and ask them if they plate lunches was $2.50 each and they say "It was $8.50" I turn to a guy I work with and say to him outload" I toll you so; That crack head was not telling us the true". He was so red in the face but laff so much about it. I told him he was in a live art there . I indulge in life art too lol and what make it bad I do it for real not knowing what I doing. so that is what I indulge in movement of cameras; live art; and off the wall stuff ; plus I on the computor too much lol I got no life.

I am now convinced You are Related to Me Jocko! Neat Rub Stuff Cindy ...Nice Back Bug Boing! Boing!

HMMMM Jocko you also indulge yourself in run-on sentences as well,LOL. Ummm....I think you're not alone in your 'addiction'.Glad you found a way to post and I like your shot alot.Very creatively done!
