ST Poll -- On a scale of 1 to "yuerrk!", how appetizing is a tuna salad and pepperoni sandwich? -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 10:54 15
- I like both of these things but don't seem them working together. I'd probably try it though -- nm - ty97 Dec 1, 11:00
- hmmm, not sure, but I would try that. -- nm - Jovian Dec 1, 10:59
- 1,0000. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 1, 10:59
- I like both things but have never had the urge to combine them, and probably still don't. -- nm - Tim Dec 1, 10:58
- I'm salivating a little. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 1, 10:57 1
  - well, this is a normal day then. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 1, 10:59

  - Weirdly, yes, it works in both directions. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 10:57 1
    - :-) I don't like tuna except straight out of the can. -- nm - Krustylu Dec 1, 10:59
- i am indifferent to it. why did someone put pepperoni on it? -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 10:55 4
  - Why else do odd food experimentations generally happen? - con_carne Dec 1, 10:59
  - why not? -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 10:57 2
    - second question: are you trying to pronounce "pepperoni" in Italian? -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 10:58 1
      - ha ha. -- nm - amanda Dec 1, 10:59

  - [deleted] 8
    - You think that could stay secret? You think parents aren't silly, fear-gripped panic mongers? - Max Dec 1, 11:04 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        oh, the administrators in this case are wrong, but I'd bet that's why they did it. -- nm - Max Dec 1, 11:10 1

      - [deleted] 2
        
        groiny's intelligence not withstanding, expecting you could sway a parent with literature is like expecting you could sway a creationist with science. -- nm - Max Dec 1, 11:12 1
        
        [deleted]
  - The other parents should never even know. -- nm - ty97 Dec 1, 10:57 1
