The Big Bang Theory, carrots... carrots are definitely overrated.
Whenever I eat a carrot, I get the feeling that chewing doesn't break the carrot down- it just generates increasingly numerous, smaller carrots. Until I've got a mouthful of carrot-gravel and I have to mercy-swallow. Carrots are beyond overrated.
This made me laugh because you have perfectly described the sensation I've always felt but never even recognized. I'm ambivalent about carrots, but now I may lean towards not liking raw carrots. However, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting is one of my favorites.
BBT is what the rest of the world thinks about geeks. Sometimes they get a couple things right, but it's more like Amos & Andy: stereotyped, cringe worthy, increasingly seeming like it'll be embarrassing to watch in syndication in a decade. Sometimes they have a guest shot by someone I really like (Bob Newhart, the recurring Wil Wheaton). Otherwise it's just... numbing. I don't actually hate it, but I feel like it's from an older era of television that was accidentally filmed in HD.
