Oh no, those poor waffles
Burning waffles were mentioned in Revelations. I think it signals the end of the world...pretty sure.
It was either that or burning waffles talked to Moses.
Yes -- the Black Horse (as evinced by the charred batter), representing famine.
A waffle is simply a horribly abused pancake. Burning it adds insult to injury.
FYI, the sunset tonight is beautiful over the lakes of maple syrup.

Dear chess.com forum-goers,
It is with sadness that I report that our most esteemed naysayer and resident grouchy mountie TheGrobe this morning suffered a most injurious breakfast calamity, when upon opening his waffle iron he noted the conspicuous absence of a golden-brown glow, confronted instead with the unforgiving blackness of charred batter.
Since I'm so awesome and charitable, I immediately thought; "what better arena to discuss how awesome and charitable I am?" So, I've spoken to TheGrobe about his tragedy, and he has given us all permission to do the following things:
- Talk about me
- Say if I ever leave again chess.com WOULD DIE
- Mention how great I am for going to the trouble to start this topic
- Say how sad we are for TheGrobe, and work out ways to assist him (optional; I mean, really he just needs maple syrup, and Canadians have lakes made of that shit, right?)
Please, discuss me in any way you can.
Both mean and funny. Difficult manuever there
I don't think that the OP is awesome, in my opinion.
Everyone's opinion carries equal weight.
I weigh more than you.
No, it doesn't.

Who told you that? If everyone gets a vote then their votes carry equal weight, but their opinions certainly don't. On any topic there will be some people who are legitimate experts, some who are well versed, and some who are morons.

No, PayPal does not.
On the subject of Paypal, I am sure one of its founders is a chess master called Peter Thiel, so I think if all of us contact him, he will make it possible for us to donate some of our rating points.
Thanks to all of you, and especially to theoreticalboy.
The waffle iron was under warranty, so I will eventually get back on my feet and have a working appliance that will ensure that I'm kept in light, crispy waffles, but it will be difficult in the immediate term as even with all of the flour, baking soda, eggs, milk and maple syrup you send I fear that I'll be forced to resort to making pancakes for a time. Even so, every little bit helps.
lucky for you Canada IS an insurance company.
