This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I think I just kind of branched out over the years. by Barney68
My memory says ketchup was important when I was a kid, especially on burgers. I ate a LOT of burgers and was astounded to find out later in life (probably about age 20 or so) that people put stuff other than ketchup, mustard, and pickle on them!
Turned out that variety has become the spice of condiments over the years. Ketchup is still for some burgers, and absolutely a must for meatloaf, but with a lot of other choices (so many forms of mustard, hot sauces by the dozen, mayo, aioli (yes, I've gone over to the dark side), fried onions and peppers, and so on it has lost a lot of my personal market share.
That said, I never did like ketchup on fries (but gravy can be good) or eggs (but there are some hot sauces that are perfect).
