Are you Emo?
If so, I hate you, just like the rest of the world does.
edit: I despise chicken noodle soup.
There's a lot behind that, so let me leave it as the start of my thesis. Firstly, I'll let it stand as it reads on the surface; I really do despise chicken noodle soup. I'm a man of a somewhat exotic pallate. I enjoy habanero sauces (Yucatan Sunshine is my favorite), garlic, I was prone to besting my (few) adventurous friends in wasabi shot contests in college. We ate it, not even I am that lacking in good judgement as to attempt and ingest wasabi nasally.
Chicken noodle soup is bland. It's got no zing, no bite, and almost nothing distinctive to it. It's like eating a bowl of chunky snot for me. Nominally I'd let this stand without comment. There are many foods out there that are bland which I don't launch into overly wrought diatribes over.
What I really hate about chicken noodle soup is it works. I'm currently afflicted with some malady of a feverish nature which is making me ill-tempered and extremely sore in the joints. In order to combat this viral invasion I've procured and prepared some chicken noodle soup, and even now as I eat it, I feel it working.
I don't rant about other bland foods, because I don't have to eat them. But right now, I am ill, and I feel obliged to choke down this concoction of poultry and starch. And it's mysterious capacity to rejuvinate only reinforces that obligation.
