2.  Pancakes in general.

I agree. Waffles are better, especially for texture, usually for taste too.

I don't see the need for the decision to be exclusive.  I like and welcome both or either.

Agreed. Although I prefer South African pannekoek over either of those.

They both have their place, but if I get to choose, waffles >>>

No waffling on this!

For playing guitar, the keys of E and A are overrated.

In the key of E, the V chord is not easy to play, generally requiring a barre.  Even the typical fingering for the V7 chord requires all four fingers and avoiding the low E string.  Furthermore, the vi chord, which is a common substitution for the I chord, is also awkward to play, generally requiring a barre.  Likewise the ii chord.

In the key of A, the iv chord is likewise a little awkward to play, generally requiring a barre.  The ii chord is a little easier to handle in A than in E, but is still a bit awkward.

And yet, for some reason, these two keys are commonly held up as some of the best for playing guitar.  Maybe it's because I'm used to chords instead of soloing, but give me G or C any day over E or A.

Beverly Hills Cop III

[Max Rockatansky]

Doesn't that have something like a 10% review score on Rotten Tomatoes?

Your point?

[Max Rockatansky]

I forget, does the third movie have the synthesizer theme from the original?  That alone is probably worth a 10% score.

The obligatory photos of Olympians "biting" the Olympic medals they won...Cute the first couple of times, until it was an unwritten requirement.

...Way overrated!

[kkt]

Not very smart.  The gold medals, according to NPR, are silver with gold plating.  Gold is soft, and biting it could cut through it.

Pre-1934 USA gold coins (intended for normal daily circulation) were made of a 90% Au/10% Cu alloy.  The copper was to make the coins sufficiently hard and durable to be used.  Same with the pre-1965 silver coins (90% Ag/10% Cu).

Yes, I realize what alloy was used in coins.  It wouldn't be smart to bite one of your double eagles, either.  Even though they circulated, they didn't circulate as much as nickles, dimes, or quarters.  $20 was a lot of money in 1933.

Those are not chocolate coins?

Maturity is overrated.

Slap Shot (1977) is overrated.

The best part about being a Maestro is telling fringe acquaintances there is no availability among villa rentals in Tuscany.
