@Beef Invictus that film "The Wages of Fear" is like a straight glimpse of Hell. Great choice.

Both versions make me way too stressed out.

She has very good taste, I'll give her that.


I'll draft her.

Taken

His Team Scent has overlap with my Team Appliance, but I am personally fine with it as it's not really the same thing, just worded very similarly, and I defer to your authoritah. In other words, he's free to smell like my team appliance.

Use your mulligan

Once in a blue moon right here, boys.

I need a ruling on "spicy" waffle fries vs. plain waffle fries. Same or different?

 

[Beef Invictus]

There are a lot of good fries out there and I'm not going to debate this with people as it comes down to personal taste (except shoe string - those aren't fries). My choice comes from nostalgia.

My grandmother lived only a mile from us so I spent a good deal of my youth at her house. She was properly British, having come over as a war bride following World War 2.

When we hung out in the kitchen in the evenings, she would haul out this old greasy frying pan, put the oil in, cut up some potatoes and fry them twice to make me delicious homemade fries with a nice pool of ketchup to the side.

I've eaten a lot of good fries, fancy fries, fries with excellent toppings and dips, but none of those are ever going to top my grandmother's British chips style fries. She's long since passed so I'll never have them again or find their equal. They honestly sit somewhere in the middle of some of these classifications, but with the need to make a choice for the sheet, I will go with:

Team Fry : Steak Cut

@JojoTheWhale , ah, hello old friend. Fancy a fry?

The English take a lot of heat for their horrendous food, but they know their way around a potato. It's the one thing they do obviously and irrefutably well. It's objective fact.

Let the record show HC had a different view of this category that may or may not show itself at a later moment.

Do with this information what you must.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

By that definition that Cap gave... Jojo played himself.

 

[Hurricane28]

Didn't think I would have to unleash this take but steak fries are the most overrated fry AINEC. Though Pit's grandmother's fries might have gotten me to change my stance.

I am on the clock and awaiting a ruling.

Well I need to stop ignoring Cap, woof.

We need Cannon to rule on this - I would allow both, but he is Philadelphian, and I have no f***ing idea how they keep all their very strong opinions about food straight.

Speaking of which @Hollywood Cannon, I can change the parameters of the category - just tell me what you want me to change.

Please bring your appliance to every game.

It has come to my attention that most here don't know my owner, the God-Emperor of Humanity, Leto II Atreides. Pictured here at approximately 3500 years old:

If you are waiting for me, I must have missed it - can you re-send please?

@pit you can pick "British Fries" if you want, and leave steak fries for someone else. I'll be honest, I didn't anticipate the run on fries. I probably should have.

Your owner is Howard Hughes, which really doesn't require a new picture.

Has this guy owned a sports franchise before?

That was the disclaimer for team owner.

When you appear in the middle of the night in this league you become my enemy.

Not quite a rival because that was a financial decision (P.S. Cap, can we revert the Rivalry chart to what it used to be pre draft category?) The Platypi are the true rivals of the Ducks.

Are "spicy waffle fries" an acceptable answer given Beef's choice of waffle fries?

 

[Hurricane28]

I think we will have to be lenient with slight differences. Only so many different kinds of fries.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Oh, right - I think they would be fine, but Cannon is the ultimate authoritai. Let's see what he says. Don't pick just yet either way - he and I are in the middle of fine-tuning this category. You may even be able to salvage your marriage.

Fries are a point of contention and fierce competition. I remain unsurprised.

We could say British Chips and cover it I imagine? Honestly, no one is picking my Grammy's fries so might as well open it up for other people to get their snack on.

No pick-tipping - please edit out that pick.

When I said this I meant that Jojo should and is clear to select spicy waffle fries.

I didn’t know he was on the clock and thought someone was going to snipe him.

Yosh, sounds good to me - that way you get exactly what you want and won't be stuck with disgusting steak fries.
