Low phat cheese = good cheese with ketchup = very good cheese with ketchup with bread = really good cheese with ketchup with bread AND some kind of filler such as meat = very reallly good.

quote: So maybe the question is on this forum, who has more power? How?
Katie, it depresses me that you'd ask that question, because it indicates to me that you've entirely missed the point.
-------
quote: You're explaining that you really didn't mean to say what you did, but your pleas are falling on quite a few ears that just aren't sympathetic to you anymore.
Two points: 1) The handful of people who aren't sympathetic to me on this thread are people who have never been particularly sympathetic to me. What's sad is that you perceive some kind of "power shift" as permission to dig in, which means that you -- like Katie, as I comment above -- have completely missed the point.
2) I have tried my hardest to avoid saying that I didn't really mean to say what I did. I've even specifically said that I was trying to avoid it. Yes, I believe what I said was taken in a more hostile way than it was meant; moreover, I think that interpretation was biased more than a little by the erroneous belief that I'm motivated by some kind of twisted fan-love. But I have said -- and I'll say it again, since it appears that I have to repeat each point at least three times on this thread to make it understood -- that I set the wrong tone with my original post, and that I am deeply sorry for offending him. OSC was right to be upset, and I was in the wrong for not having approached this issue with more tact and sensitivity.
I don't know how to say this more clearly. I like to think that my behavior in this thread serves as a demonstration of my sincerity -- but that, too, can be misinterpreted several ways if you're so determined. So take that as you will.

I don't like most potato chips either - too dry. I like Pringles Sour Cream and Onion, but only if I lick all the powder off first. This has the added benefit of making the chip nice and soggy. Posts: 26077 | Registered: Mar 2000

Speaking of cheese, you can get the same cheese powder that goes on Kraft MacN cheese in cannister form like their parmesan cheese comes in. It's great for popcorn.

Crunchy Cheetohs, not the puffy ones. And Cheez Whiz isn't too bad, but nothing beats a slice of real cheese.

Not sure about fritos, but doritos are rolled cornmeal based product (not real cornmeal at this point because it's processed food) stamped and then baked.
Fritos have a lighter texture so I think they add something to get them to rise and curl.

That was a side note. I'm being lazy here and not trying to get to the bottom of it because (1) you are both adults, and can settle things yourself. It being conducted in public means I get to be peanut gallery. I also didn't think either of y'all were paying attention to me.
I have this theory that our right to judge and opine is directly related to how much time and care we've invested into a project or person. You put more time and care and yourself into Hatrack (I know you've been making substantial and respectful posts lately, deliberately), and OSC has put a great deal more time and care into the site under discussion. I think it was rude to commment on it precisely because you weren't invested in it. It doesn't matter your qualifications - unless you are asked for your opinion or invested in it, you don't get a vote. Same for the forum. Uncle Orson started it and he pays for it, but in this great equalizer of a medium, time and attention are what matter.
And, (2) power dynamics are inherently fascinating to me. If you are holding a hammer...

You should know better. I always pay attention to you.
But I think your emotional investment criteria are good ones. I'll keep 'em in mind -- which, since I'm a born critic, might make me more popular in a lot of circles. *grin*

Vinegar. I tasted the best ones in Australia. And you can't find very good ones in France, unfortunately.

I'm teasing about the vinegar of course. That is a tasty flavor. My favorites are prawn, sour cream and onion, and parmesan and garlic. Posts: 4116 | Registered: Apr 2002

I personally have an unholy lust for kettle fried chips. In the south, that means Zapp's. I have no idea what kettle fried means, but it makes them extra delicious.

I actually like the idea of a T-shirt printed with the line "I should print this on a T-shirt."

Wow, TomD, that's an idea. If you design it and put it on cafepress (and on a girly T-Shirt ) I'll probably buy it.

If I were offered sour cream and cheddar chips and salt and vinegar chips, and had to choose just one, I'd be in deep trouble.

If only Annie wasn't on her mission I would ask her to do it. EDIT : design the T-shirt, that is, not offer me chips.

Man. I HATE it when threads get deleted. Locking I can understand, but deleted?
This whole huge mess has happened while I was away that will be effecting this community for who knows how long, and I have *no* idea what actually happened.
*grumbles*
Edit: Nevermind. I've been informed that it wasn't deleted. See how competely in the dark I am? Posts: 7050 | Registered: Feb 2004

I know Tom is getting all the love, but just to be on the safe side, I apologize if my post in the deleted thread was rude, OSC. I'm sorry if it hurt your feelings.

This company called Miss Vicky's makes jalepeno chips. They extremely good. Salt and pepper chips are good too.

Veggie chips are worse than crack, I swear, they're so delectable. They're certainly more expensive per lb. Posts: 13123 | Registered: Feb 2002

I've got to agree with Storm on that one. Those things should come with a 12-step program flyer inside each bag.

Or with a free coupon for your local gym club. (sorry, that was just to have post number 200 )
