As for the pancakes, they're universally round, but the little half-moon sliver that's left after I eat most of it is the "tail" to me.

The pizza thing, I can understand that the crust might seem bland or chewy. But as far as I know, one end of a french fry (as well as the middle) is all the same???

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan So, if you ate the french fries with a fork, you could indulge in the entire french fry, and have no discard pile!
Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy Yeah, but I ain't "fancy 'nuff" none to eat fries with no fork. ;-P Actually I don't do the "tail" thing with things like chicken tenders and fried cheese wedges and snacks at home...it's just a weird fry thing I developed; maybe I did subconsciously pick it up from my friend, I dunno. Still love my fries though! Especially while watching "The Goonies" or "The Facts of Life" (OHHHH! He ZINGS the 2oonMan!)

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan I'm just sayin', just thinking about 'Facts of Life' makes me want to create my own 'discard pile' if you know what I mean. Anyway... back to the original topic.... Does the skin of a baked potato count as 'crust'? Because I like eating that.
Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy I used to think skins and peels were "beneath me", but you're right 2oony, baked 'tater skins are sooooo goooood...especially when ya slather it around in cheese sauce on the bottom of your 'tater container from which you've eaten a Wendy's one with bacon 'n cheeeeeese, MMMMMMMMmmmmmmm...
Originally Posted By MomofPrincess Oh, STOP, you are making me HUNGRY!!!! MMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!! I like the potato skins, too.

(all join in) "ROFL!!" >:-/ (I'm over it now, lol)

Well EVVVVERYbody, all the guys and gals on the trip, even the adults with us, thought that was just the funniest thing since sliced Kar2oonBread. The roaring of the laughter echoed in my ears and I literally got so frustrated at bein' the butt of the game that I just wanted to cry to let the frustration out. Ahh, youth! LOL

LOL! Actually it wasn't that bad, just the cold showers, Uno Mortification, and Unfortunate Chicken Revelation. I can take teasin' now too, I just wasn't ready back then to be waylaid by both UNO *and* chicken in the same week! LOL!

LOL. <<I can take teasin' now too, I just wasn't ready back then to be waylaid by both UNO *and* chicken in the same week!>> I can certainly vouch for you there. You handle being waylaid by chicken pretty good now. You're a great sport. Thanks for that. (You do dish it out pretty well too! LOL)
