I was like this for a while, I kept using PowerPoint to make organizational charts or for modeling system diagrams. Then I fired up Visio one day. People rag on Visio but it works great for my stuff.

When viewing a slideshow online and there are 2 arrows, one that takes you to an ad, and one that takes you to the next slide. Curse the person that came up with the idea of having one that takes you to an ad.

Flats are the easiest to eat one handed. Insert wing into mouth, bite down, pull.

you do realize that the drumette and the leg are two different things yes? a wing usually has a wingette and a drumette.... or as slappy calls them flats and drumsticks (although that's technically the leg, not part of the wing)

I've never ever heard them called flats either. Sounds like something a stuffy Englishman who wears a derby and monocle would say

Most places now even have the option to order "all drumstick" or "all flats" right on the menu.

I am guessing many of you have never worked in bars/pizza shops etc.

Thankfully, I've never heard anyone do that or even heard of it. That's as bizarre as it is stupid.

If you pop off the one end of the wing (flat) the rest of the meat comes off clean.

yeah, that's what i do, then it's like eating the meat off of a rib...which i assume we all do with two hands right?

All I'm saying is knawing meat off a bone is caveman enough, no need to look more savage by one arming it.
