There are stores online dedicated to finding cute women's shoes but in men's sizes. Apparently there's enough demand.

I'm 30 seconds into this video and screaming. What? Why? How can you tell processor speed by looking at a computer case? Who talks like that? I feel like this scene was originally written about car enthusiasts, and they just did find/replace to change it to computers.

I will say after my few ventures into Man-Tifa and Bubbacup that women have SO MANY OPTIONS FOR CLOTHES AND SHOES and they all have their own very specific little names for what they are or have.

I've mentioned on these forums that I love potato chips a great deal. Too much even. So, when companies put out a variety of new flavours, I try them all, because it's fun.
Every year Lays does a contest where they choose 4 flavours suggested by people. You guys in the US always get different flavours than we do in Canada. Well. the Canadian flavours are out and they are...something...else.
Here they are.
So, I bought a small bag of each and tried them all.
1. Bacon Poutine - These were by far the most popular. There was only a single bag of these left, whereas the other 3 had almost full racks. I thought they were the third worst of the bunch. The bacon flavour waaaaay overpowers any sort of poutine flavour and they were just boring smokey chips with a hint of that rotten milk taste that exemplifies potato chip cheese flavour. 4/10.
2. Cinnamon Bun - I just about spit this out. I was expecting some kind of deserty sweet chip. What I got was a taste that's best described as a churro that a fat man has sweated all over. Salty cinnamon churros. HORRIBLE. 1/10.
3. Jalapeno Mac n Cheese - These weren't terrible, but they weren't anything special either. You kind of expected them to be spicy, but they were milder than the mildest of jalapeno flavoured things. The cheese was again your standard potato chip cheese flavour. They're basically just cheddar cheese rippled Lays. 6/10.
4. Tzatziki - These were kettle cooked, so that was a nice surprise and makes them better than the rest by default (kettle cooked superior) but the biggest shock is how authentically like tzatziki sauce these chips tasted. I expected something that mostly tasted like sour cream and onion but I got a legitimate new flavour. I really dig these and though they're gonna lose to bacon poutine because snackers are fucking stupid, they are easily the best of the four. 8/10.
These might not all be winners, but they're a huge step up over the trash they tried last year.
Here's my post from the last batch of these: https://www.halforums.com/threads/t...ore-canadian-bacon.27544/page-27#post-1078349
Also, I didn't give those last set of flavours an out of 10 score, but if I were to have, I would have given Grilled Cheese and Ketchup a -1000000000/10. They were worse than Hitler.

Wow... I think Mr. Z would want to come over to try the poutine or the jalapeno mac!
We actually have all 4 US Lays flavors in our cabinet right now. We're not huge chip eaters, but how else are you going to taste them? Here's what I thought:
1)Mango Salsa Wavys - this was my surprise favorite. A hint of sweet and fruity that made it different than any flavor of chip I've ever tried. Usually chips tend to be more savory in flavor. I think it's funny they made these wavy, which is intended to be dipped, but I don't think these need any dip assistance. I would buy these again. 8/10
2)Wasabi and Ginger- if you like wasabi peas, you'll probably like these. They have a nice spicy bite without being mouth-scorching. The ginger isn't too strong, but it tend to over-power anything it's served with, so it's good that it's more of a hint of ginger. Mr. Z hates ginger, but he likes these, as he likes spicy stuff. 6/10
3)Bacon Cheddar Mac and Cheese - I would say these were the least surprising out of all the flavors. It tastes like a chip flavor that's been done before. It's a pretty safe flavor, so I wouldn't be shocked if it won. That said, I wish the bacon flavor was a bit stronger, but it's a good combo with potato chips. 5/10
4)Cappuccino - I know I'm going to be in the minority, but I liked these. They probably taste slightly similar to Frank's cinnamon bun flavor, though not quite as sweet because of the coffee notes. Yes, the first bite is weird and off-putting. After eating a few, I don't think it's that different from sweet rice cake flavors. The potato taste is neutral enough to handle sweet. I doubt we'll ever see them again, because people just don't think "sweet" when it comes to potato chips, but I'm glad I got to try them. 4.5/10.
I have chip envy.
Who writes stuff for the Halforums wiki? I forget. I'm still just tickled that I'm a genocidal war criminal. 
You know, I know it's kind of a pointless thought, but I often wonder how I'm perceived on here and if you guys knew all of the crazy that goes on in my brain, what everyone would think of me? But, I mean, like I said, it's pointless because I much prefer to keep my mouth shut. Still, sometimes I wonder.
And I'm pretty sure I should just go back to bed since I'm up to my ears in cold medicine.

You're a gem. I hope you know that.
Tried the Tzatziki based on your recommendation. I can see some appeal but it barely moves beyond sour cream an onion. The kettle cooking is certainly a benefit but I wouldn't say that they're a miracle of chip technologyI've mentioned on these forums that I love potato chips a great deal. Too much even.

He licked it a little then went back to rubbing his face against my hand that was holding the corn.
"Ah yes, @Squidleybits my plan is working to perfection. By no longer removing the delicious black jelly beans first, our small children with their childish palates and juvenile brains have removed all the bright and shiny jellybeans leaving a cornucopia of delicious black jellybeans for my perusal.
Excellent."
Excellent."

Then we'd better keep our head on a swivel since you are sure to inexplicably become evil after SMILING WARMLY AT SOMEONE WHOSE BACK IS TURNED TO YOU WHEN THERE'S NO ONE AROUND YOU NEED TO DECEIVE.
I'm... sorry. That was less about you and more about how much I hate that part of the movie.
After that twist, I always read that moment as "Well, if I've got to do it, at least she's easy on the eyes."
