    Don't you mean underrated? :p

    I like this thread, problem is, I have way too many stuff to list, I don't think I'll remember them all. I do agree with most of Andrea's overrated list, though.

    Nothin Wrong with getting high, but it's overrated to me because people I know always go around running their mouths about it when there is no need to.
