Probably not near as fun / funny as " things that suck"  but anyway:     
1. Owning a green egg
2. Anything with bacon
3. Spring weather
4. golf
5. Thousands of lakes in Michigan , and owning a boat.
6. Craft beer

    I could take this down a dirt road in short order but decorum preludes such a move this early in a thread.  Just remember, only 3 kinds of women in the world...
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.

    4 out of 6 isn’t great.

    Golf certainly belongs in the things that suck thread.  I’ve gone 3 times and those are 6-7 of the worst hours of my life.  I fail to see any redeeming value in that game, and if you listen to the Malcolm Gladwell podcast on them and the wast of real estate value and taxes to local governments, they are certainly a public harm.

    In theory I agree with spring weather being great, but I had to pause in writing this to rub my itchy eyes, sneeze 4 times, and blow my nose twice, and since seasonal allergies come with spring weather, also something that sucks.

    I agree, but I suspect you and I might be alone on this view.  I used to have to golf for business reasons, at very nice courses.  I always felt guilty, since everyone I knew would have loved to be me.

    Captain, I'd like to be sure we are thinking of the same three. There's an old song that says "there's girls, there's women and there's ladies. There's yeses and theres no's and there's maybe's", something tells me you mean the other three.

    The ones I hope for everybody:
    Family
    Friends 
    Health

    Personally:
    Religion 
    Que
    Motorcycles
    Ice cold Coke with a Heath bar
    The smell of a garage (Not sure what it is. Gas, oil, exhaust, etc.)
    Intentionally getting lost driving out in the country with the windows down and the music up. 
    Just a few that come to mind quickly...
