I always throw out the first pancake because it sucks, but all the ones after that are good.

bringing the thread around with a movie quote, one of my favorites, post it here a lot...

WHERE IS PANCAKES HOUSE?

Hahahaha! Good one.

Bilbo would have said "Eleventy-one years ago...";)

Can I steal that for a usertitle?

When I was much smaller/younger, every time we went to Land Between The Lakes we would stop for breakfast at Jerry's (remember Jerry's restaurants?) in Hopkinsville to have blueberry pancakes. I can taste those pancakes today, they were that good. I miss that.

Classic Chappelle

Also, nothing should go into making pancakes other than pan and cake.

--Dumb airhead twit in Pulp Fiction

In fact it's so apt it's a Russian proverb. Первый блин комом - the first pancake's always a lump (though UT's version is fine by me! )

Cool now I have a third rejoinder.

"The early bird gets the worm."

1) But the early worm gets eaten.

2) But the second mouse gets the cheese.

3) But the first pancake is a lump.
