Birds in general (especially turkey for Turkey Day - that's for all you turkeys out there...my junior high shop teacher used to call everyone turkeys so today must be the most confusing day of the year in his household) - they are pretty cool, especially if you are a bird watcher which seems like a fun hobby that I would love to pick up during my midlife crisis as I make the real life version of The Big Year II: Flipping the Bird

Steve Kerr's surfer dudeness and chill vibes and also his obsession with kale smoothies, steaming hot yoga and mindfully drawing up blue prints for various sand castles that may appear on hit shows like TNT's hit true crime show Sand Castle, Sand Castle Away and Sand Castles: What's Really Inside Those Sand Castles? The Answer Will Blow Your Flip Flops Away And Into Your Beach Neighbor's Sand Castle and Destroy Their Sand Castle, Leaving Them Questioning Their Dedication To The Art Of Building Sand Castles And The Point Of Our Existence Itself
JaVale McGee's JaVale McGee-ness 
When the referee throws the opening tip off in the air
Referees for real life situations, for example, a five second violation in the frozen foods section of Whole Foods on Mrs. Simpsons because she held the door open for too long while trying to decide which gelato to invest in, Raspberry Regret, Mango Mishap or Grape Grave Mistake

Game of Thrones - I don't watch it but I like the fact that people are obsessed with it as long as that obsession doesn't interfere with their real life mystical dragon training skills
How to Train Your Dragon and other instructional, infomercial style movies like Blended (which walks the audience through how to properly blend a margarita in a Margaritaville style blender that was signed by Jimmy Buffett on a random pontoon), The Waterboy (which teaches the audience to never stop blitzing for their dreams) and Grown Ups (which teaches the audience to never grow up, no matter how grown you may get) (Yeah sure, you might be yelling at your laptop or cell phone right now, "But Chad (my name is Chris, by the way, but I'll go by Chad for you, I like Chad, Chads know how to work it) those are all Adam Sandler pictures!" And to that, I will hold up my end of the screaming match by bellowing out, "That's because Adam Sandler is America's gym teacher and his movies know more about us than we know about us. Don't you go and blasphemy the good Adam Sandler, the good Adam Sandler is all that we have got these days!" Then I throw a cloud of chalk in the air like LeBron and disappear into Bolivia.
