in/out 2006
Several people - Cade, Sandie, Matthew - are keen to get a 2006 in/out list going."Yes, indeed!" I said, "I will set something up." So this is the first step in the garnering of opinion of what will be IN and OUT in 2006.
For a bit of background to the whole in/out list thing see this: in/out 2004 and this: in/out 2005.
Here's my list to start off:
IN: humility, good, thoughtful action, complex carbohydrates, leafy greens, olives, meat and fish as a garnish (if you're an omnivore that is), good humour, silliness, doubt
OUT: arrogance, evil, violence, meat as a meal, drinking as entertainment, bad moods, blinkered pragmatism
If you could leave your lists as a comment to this post, I might organise them beautifully in the New Year.

Here's Brian and Adam's in / out for 2005.
In: Morocco - decor, food, everything.
Funky patterned ironing boards
Poker
Casseroles
Road kill as food
ethical gifts
Shanghai
Catherine Tate
Gay Marriage
Basic Instinct 2 (But will she live to the final reel?)

fair-trade cotton t-shirts
Marc Almond - and a re-release of 'Tainted Love'
coloured kitchen utensils
learning a musical instrument
Out: Stainless steel
Italian food
Victoriana fashion - it's too hard!
'Little Britain'
New York
So called 'gay' films where the fag cops it at the end - sorry Mr Lee but it's been done to death and we were bored with it back in 1972! (And sorry to give away the ending but did you really expect anything new from a mainstream film masquerading as radical?)
Civil partnerships - it's not equality, it's a halfarsed piece of legislation that creates a two tiered system for what counts as a relationship.
Tony Blair - for Iraq and for your halfarsed legislation that's supposed to appease us.
Robbie Williams - for suing People magazine for claiming he's gay and for being 'a fat loser who can't dance.'
Reality TV
Context
Here's Cade's List!
In:
The Chronicles Of Narnia Movie Action Figures
James Blunt
Soft bed mattresses (bad for the back, greeeeeeeat for that comfy snug as a bug feeling)
That's So Raven (the tv show)
Fridge magnets (these NEVER go out of style)
The Cassette Walkman
Bread rolls
Air conditioned buses
Hard copy photo albums
Gardening (hoping putting this on here will motivate me to get out in the backyard and fix it up!)
Out:
Australian Idol
Long train trips
People who zigzag when walking in busy Sydney streets
Extreme humidity
Colour names like 'cyan' and 'magenta' being used to try and make blue and maroon sound more exotic
Neighbours (the show - why won't they CAN this catastrophe of Australian culture!!)
Secret songs on CD's (especially when you don't know they're there for five years!)
Kimberley Stewart (Daughter of Rod) *yes, OUT before she was even IN!*
Howard and Bush (hey, it's tradition!)
American remakes of Japanese Horror Films
IN
Naomi Watts;
Simple foods - pasta with a little butter, garlic & basil sounds right;
Big-voiced 70's songstresses with attitude - Betty Wright, Betty Davis, Loleatta Holloway & Linda Clifford;
The new chick on Media Watch (I know nothing about her, but I always end up liking whoever sits behind the MW desk);
Tins of crunchy & tasty 'Khao Shong Nuts/Mixed Rice Crackers' from Asian Supermarkets;
Pizza Picasso on King St;
Public swimming pools;
A new Public Holiday (with the western world's unprecedented levels of wealth, we could reasonably afford an extra day off, so why not make one up!);
Speaking In Tongues on SBS (if it doesn't get cancelled or struck down by god);
Sydney's FBi radio station.
OUT
Aust Idol - especially if they keep Kyle Sanderlands;
Hollywood spectales that piss all over history while failing to be even remotely fun (always out, but even outer after recent offences like The Last Samurai and Alexander);
Murdoch's pathetic MX rag;
Tax-payer funded memorial services for obnoxious billionaires who never paid their taxes;
Miss Over-Exposed Waste Of Space 2006 - Jackie O, whose vacant face is everywhere, but whose home has bookshelves full of fake books (I've seen the photos to prove it!);
Weekend newspaper articles discussing 'intelligent design';
The guy on SBS's Movie Show (who needs to relax a little);
Human reproduction (if you saw how many people were crammed into Sydney's Pitt St mall during the recent Post-Christmas sales you'd agree with me that there are too many people in the world!);
Large-scale natural disasters (2005 was too full of them);
Ironic jokiness involving the image or voice of David Hasslehoff, who is annoying in any context.
Jacquii - with prompting from Adam and Brian
In: Polka dots
Miss Prim Trash, or Lady-like trash - basically Victoriana but kind of trashy.
Dr Martin Boots (with pencil skirts)

Wide legged trousers
Handmade soaps.
Out:
fur trim (not that it was ever in)
Sharon Osbourne
Scruffy hair on men over 25
Indian Chic
Frameless spectacles
Rip-off High Street stores e.g Primark, Peacocks, New Look - support creativity, not lazy designer copies probably made in sweatshops.
Pump pack soaps and body wash - a waste of packaging!
