As someone who opens his phone to 114 missed messages from the Tussle whatsapp; I cannot agree more with this statement.

Weā€™ll get you up to speed. Or further confuse you! Maybe best not to get into it.

Only 114 missed messages? Must be a slow day.

Challenger Opponent But Whyā€¦
@tniloc vs Lefties Calling out lefties for going from tee deck to rough and basically rinse and repeat
@cfrench vs @newballcoach Coach is a Chicago Bears mega fan, which already hurts his feelings. Cosette knew this. In fantasy football when Coach didnā€™t pick shiny, new QB (Fields) in the first couple of rounds, Cosette did. He sat on her bench all year. Coach is still angry
@newballcoach vs Pants Kevin hates pants, only wears shorts all the time.
@thesaxemachine vs @duncmitchell Not really sure. I think itā€™s just in their DNA
KW vs Everybody KW golfers are scummy to put it lightly/
@Freedom35 vs Good Food Cap hates spicy dill pickle chips and wings, probably all of your favorite foods too
@cfrench vs Fields Iā€™m not even sure, maybe because I stole him from @newballcoachā€¦
Sun vs @duncmitchell & @tniloc & Sunscreen Sun will win everytime.
Mustard vs Ketchup Some of us know Mustard is superior, everyone else is wrong
@tniloc vs People not having a good time Heā€™ll just make sure you always have a drink in your hand
@midwestgolfbum vs @bladetheist Theyā€™re actually the same person. #CloneWars
Mizuno vs Titleist Just because I guess

Cool, guess Iā€™m not even a real (American) version of you anymore.

Iā€™m with @Freedom35 on the Spicy Dill Pickle? A pickle is an accoutrement, not a star; it should have never been a flavor in the first place.

The wing thing thoughā€¦ have you sought mental help?

I should note, 20 years as a cook/chefā€¦ I might have some wild takes on food.

The take was ā€œwings are overratedā€ by @Freedom35 and he is right. Itā€™s just taken on a new life, which has been entertaining.

Oh definitely overrated, along with Nachos and Spinach Dip. The premier bar snack/appetizer forever and will always be Potato Skins.

Depends on if weā€™re talking average performance or peak. Peak potato skin is real good, but God the floor is truly dire.

Iā€™ve never had a wing that was as bad as a bad potato skin.

I chalk it up to experience; a chicken wing while if treated properly can be great, the average wing now is sub par at best, and throw in bad saucesā€¦yeeesh.

Potato Skins though, your average Potato Skin is always gonna be awesome, and this is where consistency comes into play. I will take an average Skin over an average Wing anyday. Crisp Potato, Melty Cheese, and Baconā€¦glorious Bacon; The Skin Renaissance is upon us, so many places are realizing the greatness of the humble potato as the prices of GMO chicken continue to rise. The Spud Heads out on the Rock know a thing or two.

Edit: This take also is based on having seen chicken handled in bar/restaurants over the years. Iā€™ve seen shit manā€¦

Also shredded iceburg lettuce is the only lettuce that should ever touch a burger. I will die on this hill.
