You've missed one of the better episodes, then...

Anyway, I'll sum up my position with one more "AAIIIEEE!" and leave it at that, this is turning into contrarianism for its own sake in a debate that literally has no possibility of impacting the language as a whole one way or the other.

This video is not available.

Yes it's the episode in TNG where Picard gets captured and tortured by the cardassians.

Are you trying to tell me that when I wander around the grocery store correcting people that it isn't going to change how people talk? And here I thought I was doing a public service...

It IS TNG, when Picard gets captured and they try to brainwash them in.... Some episode?

That's a very young looking Captain Picard. And he's mysteriously wearing a yellow uniform. And a 60s hairdo. And hair.

But why waffles? What did they ever do to you?

Do you know how it feels to be invited to an exclusive morning breakfast club. Its been something you've been wanting for a while. You've worked hard for it.

You get there, and on the single, one day that they've invited you... You find out that they're having a special Chocolate Extravaganza morning...

... Starting with Chocolate Waffles. Chocolate Cream. Mocha Coffee... Chocolate-freaking-oranges.

... everything that you can think of... Chocolate.

... and you have to sit there. For Four. Hours. Waiting for them to finish serving to the masses, before they can clean and sanitise everything, and then maybe cook something else.

Which they do.

And then promptly give to someone else who turned up late.

So Waffles, for me... Waffles are something I've always wanted to enjoy, but because of Waffles... I have the sting of the reminder that I mean nothing in this world ...

So that's what they did to me.

Are waffles shrodinger and you are the cat? Existing in a constant state of uncertainty and duality. But only when they are brought before you can your state of existence be solidified, but untill then you are meerly an idea a quantum blip existing and yet not at the same time.

My advice:

Switch to pancakes.

Whoops.. sorry.. you made a funny joke and I turned it into a study of my ignorance

On the bright side, my ignorance seems to be an area of my area of expertise...

I don't know about you, but I'd be planning an array of options on how to use the provided cutlery to commit criminal acts while I waited for 4 hours.

Waffles are starting to sound like everything I wish I could be. I think it's time for waffles for dinner.

Do it! Just don't eat the blue ones. For the love of god don't eat the blue waffles.

I think I will.. and to bring this full circle.. I will celebrate the new Profundity article when it arrives by literally having waffles for dinner!

I prefer French Toast.
