How exciting is it when the Shamrock Shake hits the McDonald's menu every year? It's unfreakingbelievably exciting, because it only happens annually and then goes away, leaving our mouths bereft of mint.

Pit bulls have gotten a bad rap over the years and are too often associated with dog fights and violence, though that has significantly more to do with horrible owners than the rather pleasant pit bulls they mistreat.
