    1. toasted rye bread – people don’t talk about it much.

    2. working – everyone complains about it as if it was being waterboarded.

    3. sleeping – people appreciate it but it can never be appreciated enough. It’ll always be underrated.

    4. honey BBQ fritos – People talk about them as if they were AIDS. They are good!

    5. the Knicks – they’re discussed as if them being bad is a permanent condition, all it will take is one or two new faces and they will be in the mix.

    Alice in Chains, lunch breaks (i don’t get them), Davis, water, pb&j, women’s soccer, SLEEP (correct, phil), and probably sobriety.

    i think veryserious.org is underrated. One of the only websites that i check more than once a day that is not facebook!

    Beth, I thought I was the non 45 year old man who likes Frasier. Sweet!

    I agree with most of these. I think working to me is the most underrated thing. Working rules, especially if your job is making stuff (even if it is imaginary e-stuff). It rules less if it is making other people make stuff but you do get some sort of residual splash damage.

    Turn signals and thank you waves are rad and often overlooked.

    Figs I only agree with if you mean fresh ones.

    oh my GOD, beth. Ha!! At first i only noticed the skyline…is that really Frasier’s head?? Can you imagine having Kelsey Grammer’s mug tattooed on your body?

    haha! I know! Although, there is something funky going on the head tattoo…it almost looks like a fake tat, right? Maybe it is new and still peeling…

    And in a word, no.

    No, I could not imagine anything of Kelsey Grammer’s on my body, even if it is just his likeness.
