Friday OT #1 - I'm Head of the Class, I'm Popular

I would much rather go somewhere with a lot of snow than south for a winter vacation.
The ranch thing is like...I mean I go into physical convulsions and can't understand how it's classified as food. I don't know what it is. I hesitate to even call it an opinion, it would be like saying my opinion is that I enjoy oxygen.
I don't understand the massive lines at places like Olive Garden and Texas Roadhouse. We had an Olive Garden gift card a few years ago, went at 5 on a Saturday afternoon and it was an hour wait. I just went home and put ketchup on spaghetti noodles, same thing.
and I’d say we’re biased against it as Iowa State fans. Is it great, nah. But to hear people talk about it on here you’d think we’re the sun belt.
And fun fact: yes, they use the same tune, but the United States didn’t have an official national anthem until I want to say the 1930’s. Before that we had several unofficial ones including my country tis of thee.
Also, while the words to our national anthem are meh, the tune is just terrible. Would you want to listen to the national anthem if it had different lyrics? No, of course not, because it sucks.
I concur. But as a word of wisdom/caution: kettle chips can stab the roof of your mouth/gums if you're not careful. I prefer something like Lays. Still gives me the crunch, but I know they'll break down as soon as I bite into them. Whereas kettle chips are much stiffer and crunchier and usually take a lot more force to crunch them. They're not wrong, they're just for seasoned chip-on-sandwich veterans.Oh my gosh, food is a hot-button, isn't it?
For sure, try it. Also good on the Bacon Turkey Bravo! I'll do it at home, and now my kids also do it. It's just better!
I’ll usually listen to podcasts at 1.25-1.5x speed. A couple of people sometimes make me think 1.5 isn’t enough. I won’t say who but they own the site

I secretly love when my kids order chicken fingers, because I can order my "adult meal" but then get some tasty chicken fingers on the side because my kids hardly eat anything. Of course this tactic leads to me constantly gaining weight but oh well.
I don't understand our pop-culture obsession with hand-dipped ice cream "shoppes."
This is entirely accurate. If you're a chip-on-sandwich virgin, I'd go this route to try, slowly working up to the next level:
1. Lays
2. Doritos
3. Kettle chips
Some people have tried to sell me on putting Cheetos on a sandwich, but that makes it too bumpy. You have to have a good, flat chip for it to work properly.
Overall, I agree. Then I tried Salt & Straw in Portland, and it's magical.
That's definitely the way to do it. My wife is a big audiobook/podcast fan so it's usually 1.5x for longer drive and I agree 1x can be brutally slow.I’ll usually listen to podcasts at 1.25-1.5x speed. A couple of people sometimes make me think 1.5 isn’t enough. I won’t say who but they own the site
I wouldn't change a thing, but I miss Hoiberg being here just because it was fun having a "cool" coach.
Not sure how unpopular of an opinion this is, but soccer sucks, and so does the NBA
I don't think Houston would be a bad addition to the Big 12

I don't know if it's popular or unpopular but I cry when I see pineapple on an otherwise perfectly fine pizza. From my previous post you can guess what I think about people using ranch dressing on the crust.
Globally this is one of the more unpopular posts in the entire thread, maybe the champ. Domestically I'm guessing your'e in an 80% majority.
I guess my opinion wasn't that unpopular after all.
I said something similar to a couple of higher ups I work with and I thought they were going to strike me dead where I stood. Maybe its because I don't work in the most progressive of industries.
At my first "real" job the owner told my boss to "tell that surfer guy you hired we can't wear polo shirts" on my first day when I wore a polo shirt, slacks and nice shoes. On the second day he told her to tell me I also couldn't wear a tie either or they'd all feel pressure to wear ties.
Blue Cheese should be reserved for catfish bait not salad dressing.

Yep, I'm set at 1.2x myself unless someone is an especially fast talker.
Audio books are a bit different. Often times the really good ones have fantastic narrators, the voice work is like a performance unto itself. So I'll listen at regular speed to get the full effect.
