The superior choice thread

edited December 2013 in The cake stop
This thread is my good idea for December. People often do things when they could do something similar which is either superior or just the original. For example, they buy a hamster when they could buy a guinea pig. So what recommendations do you have for other cake stoppers to upgrade their lives?

I'll start:

Don't drink vodka when you could drink slivovica
Don't listen to the Clash when you could listen the Ruts
Don't watch rugby union when you could watch rugby league
Don't read the Daily Mail/Express/Telegraph when you could read Mein Kampf

    Don't waste your life on BR, get a proper hobby that doesn't advertise at you.

    What's better about a guinea pig?

    They draw slightly less blood when they bite you and they're bigger, furrier and more varied.

    Don't multitask when you could be mindful
    Don't listen to the arctic monkeys when you could listen to paint dry
    Don't watch basketball when you could watch mutants
    Don't be awake when there are other options

    Don't waste a good meal time chewing on dry tasteless turkey at Christmas.

    Eat a burrito instead.

    That's the spirit!
  • Rugby league? Seriously? Not real rugby!

    Don't waste time posting on bike forums when there are many more constructive things you could be doing :-)
    Bikes are OK, I guess... :-)
