Some chick had the audacity to make the claim that waffles are better than pancakes. Yes, like you, I was stunned. After about a full minute of silent shock, I became angered. Despite what fevered emotions my initial reaction wrought, I was quick to control my temper and politely describe to her the many benefits pancakes have over waffles in as a restrained manner as I could muster, and as I see it; RJM style.
- Pancakes don't need special appliances to get things hot. All you need is a place to lay them down.
- Pancakes are in their element when you have more than one at a time.
- Waffles are always so square. Now pancakes, there are round ones, square ones, thin ones, thick ones, dark ones, light ones. You aren't stuck with one kind forever!
- Pancakes get flipped over and done both sides. Every time.
EVERY time.
- Pancakes have their own House. And it's fucking International.
- Canadian Pancakes are actually awesome.
- Pancakes are made to be messy. They don't care if your syrup gets all over.
- No one will tell you to 'Leggo my Pancake'.
- Pancakes have been around for hundreds of years, and they are just as hot today as they were then.
- Immediately after having pancakes, you feel like you need to rest and recoup, no matter what kind of stamina you have.
- Saying you had 18 pancakes gets you respect and admiration. Especially if they were all at once.
- Some pancakes are best rolled over and stuffed. And no one considers that taboo.
She conceded my points, but was unwilling to change her uneducated opinion until further testing. I offered to subject her to my pancakes so that she may make a more informed decision. So wish me luck.
Tomorrow I'm serving breakfast in bed.

One reason waffles are better than pancakes:
The syrup and butter pool up in the little squares, and makes them cleaner and easier to eat than pancakes; The butter and syrup just runs off of those and pools up on the plate. You have to spend most of your time rubbing the cut-up pancake on the plate.
