What is a guilty pleasure you have?

I love teenage slasher films, despite their relative seriousness or ambitions. . . .

Should I mention my smoking here? How about alcohol? Recreational use of hallucinogenics, thats a guilty pleasure, right? Comic books, pornography, beef, terrible web sites, poetry,   B-Movies, Foreign scifi art movies, making up new vulgarities,  girl-watching, noogies, lying, rap, jugglers, acting unintelligent, making up pointless nicknames for people, Half-Life, Friends, maybe these qualify. Every moment that I am doing something by myself, that does not involve school or work, I involve myself in things that would embarrass one person or another. My guilty pleasure is loving my life and having no shame about making it enjoyable for myself and those I love.

I'm too old to combine guilt and pleasure. I do get delightful satisfaction from a well-phrased sentence; from completing unsavory jobs and from winter sunshine.

Ice cream, most definitely.

Uncle Toby's Choc Chip Muesli Bar, most nights, while I'm reading in bed . . .

Every so often I will have a glass of wine or a beer at the end of the day. The guilt comes from an unease about drinking alcohol by yourself, I guess.

I don't really do the guilt thing, so I don't know.

Ciagrettes, GOOD coffee... but those are just pleasures.I guess my guilty pleasure would be expensive food. I often treat myself to wonderful things like white chocolate bread and nutella, even though I can't afford them.

My guilty pleasures are my mischievous moments. And I have a lot of them. :)

My guilty pleasure is watching pro wrestling, WWF, which I have done for almost twenty years now.

I have many interests which most people refuse to understand but I refuse to acknowledge any guilt.

Alias Irrelevant

The current one is DOVE dark chocolate Easter eggs.

Cadbury Creme Eggs. They're so rich that I can't usually eat a whole one at a time, and I know they're terrible for me, but hey, whatever. They only come once a year.
