So Znu, you live in NY and you order Domino's? -- nm - amoxy Jan 21, 08:38 23
- [deleted] 20
  - She's not a keeper if she lives here and still thinks Domino's is good pizza - krusty Jan 21, 08:43 13

        never. - znufrii Jan 21, 08:48

        This is the correct answer. Little Caesar's, on the other hand . . . that's art. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 21, 08:46 4
        
        if dung smeared on a potrait of the Virgin Mary is art, then yes, Little Caesar's is art. - znufrii Jan 21, 08:48 2
        
        there was an 'artist' in canada for a while who used to eat foods of a certain colour, then go to galleries or museums and vomit on select pieces. - mafic Jan 21, 08:50

    - Not "love", but "will eat b/c I can get pizza, steak sub, buffalo wings, and cheesy bread with one phone call" is accurate. -- nm - TFox Jan 21, 08:44 3
      - [deleted]
      - not anymore you can't - ty97 Jan 21, 08:45 1

    - I love Domino's, it's great pizza for a chain -- nm - J Jan 21, 08:44
- I most certainly do not. This is a vile rumor that has been perpetrated against me by those seeking my downfall. -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 08:39 1
  - He makes a friend call so he technically didn't order it. - TFox Jan 21, 08:41
Watching Geithner confirmation hearing on CNN. How are they going to fix the financial system? - Loyola Jan 21, 08:38 5
- did anyone ask the knucklehead why he didn't see anything wrong with citi while he was heading up the fed bank of ny?....nm - x Jan 21, 08:48 2
  - Not specifically, but when crossed by another Senator what was a particular failing of his in his previous post....Geithner; I should have done better -- nm - Loyola Jan 21, 08:52
  - I can answer that . . . -- nm - Robert Rubin Jan 21, 08:50

- Holy crap, somebody let Uwe spend $60 million on Dungeon Seige? You just can't fire enough people to make up for that kind of decision. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 21, 08:38 1
  - maybe they are still working on the weird German system that they make money if they lose money - Epiphany Jan 21, 08:50
Indian food's fine, but I look forward to the day when they invent a second dish. You can only go so far with "glop on rice". -- nm - Ender Jan 21, 08:29 18
- have you tried the sheeps' eyeballs yet? -- nm - Andrew Zimmern Jan 21, 08:39
- Your White Guilt makes you eat it. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 21, 08:37

  - [deleted] 3
    - It happens with Chinese food as well. There are a few dishes that are standard at all Chinese restaurants, regardless of the style of food - Roger More Jan 21, 08:41 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Yeah, going to Mexico last year really opened my eyes about how diverse the cuisine is. I bought Diana Kennedy's book soon after -- nm - Roger More Jan 21, 08:43

- you need to go to better restaurants. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:31
- how about "Spicy glop on rice"? - znufrii Jan 21, 08:29 1
  - Or sweet and smokey glop on rice! -- nm - emoticripple Jan 21, 08:31

    - [deleted] 4
      - Just imagine if he had become Commissioner some 15 years ago instead of running for Gov of Texas - amoxy Jan 21, 08:39 3
        
        Imagine what shape baseball would be in...oh...wait. - krusty Jan 21, 08:42 2
        
        Couldn't be much worse! -- nm - amoxy Jan 21, 08:46 1
        
        Sadly, you're correct. -- nm - krusty Jan 21, 08:51
  - *wiretaps A-Rod*. Oooooh, this guy is naughty. -- nm - Dubya Jan 21, 08:34 1

  - Please no! -- nm - krusty Jan 21, 08:31 1
    - Word. -- nm - Bob Costas Jan 21, 08:33

  - food is inherently tied to culture. if you don't immerse yourself (at least try) in their food choices you aren't really experiencing their culture. -- nm - Andie Jan 21, 08:38 3
    - [deleted] 1
      - *laughing* There's shit I don't try HERE! I can see it, I can smell it, I don't need to try it. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 21, 08:50
    - I try things but it's not a big deal to me. Being IN the country, meeting the people, seeing the sights is enough for me. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 21, 08:40
  - the only reason I chose turkey last year was the food. the *only* reason. -- nm - president 44 loves mandy lane Jan 21, 08:36 1

        we didn't have Domino's on Friday. -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 08:28 1
        
        (and it was just pepperoni, no mushrooms) -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 08:29
        
        it's ok, 'cause he didn't order it. -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 08:27
        
        If this is a euphemism, I'm fasting for the rest of the day. -- nm - TFox Jan 21, 08:27 4

        maybe he just likes being evil. -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 08:32
        
        I don't know if there is an evil strong enough to keep me away from southwestern eggrolls. Just sayin'. -- nm - TFox Jan 21, 08:31
        
        bah! - znufrii Jan 21, 08:31
        
        You know far too much about znufrii's personal life. Run, znu, run! -- nm - oblique Jan 21, 08:27 4
        
        he's just guessing -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 08:30 3

        you've already gotten two of the details wrong, so how do you know you're getting accurate information? -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 08:32

"...Phoenix looks like a filthy hog; broad and bloated,..." -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 08:21 8
- Amy Winehouse saying "I'm not going to let him divorce me" is about the most frightening thing I can think of right now. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 08:39
- I wonder how widely this story is known. The movie is not going to have much of an impact if everybody has already blown it off before it's finished. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 21, 08:30 2
  - Joaquin Phoenix in a rapper mockumentary? I'm so there. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 08:37 1
    - Yeah, sounds great, but can they keep shooting it? Having to set up concerts, studio session etc if everybody knows you're b.s.ing won't be easy. - emoticripple Jan 21, 08:42
- [deleted]
- that's a particularly vicious lil tidbit about Christina Applegate. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 21, 08:24 1
  - Yeah, I had never heard it before either. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 08:28
- For a second there, I thought you were talking about the city... -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 08:23
I had hungry jack's the other day, and it tasted just like burger king! bastards! -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 08:21 1
- [deleted]
FWIW, I will venture foodwise a bit while I'm here, but not yet, and likely not much. - ty97 Jan 21, 08:21 13
- my experience (while in Mexico) was that over-eating caused more problems than just eating - Roger More Jan 21, 08:31
- [deleted]
- yeah ... rice soaks up all that yummy dirty water :) -- nm - Gwaahjo Jan 21, 08:23
- ty, I totally understand. I try to eat local food, but get sick really easily, so it's a gamble. - loosilu Jan 21, 08:22
- I'd worry more about the water than the food. - mafic Jan 21, 08:22 8
  - I'm not having veg on the subs. And I'm washing my toothbrush with bottled water. - ty97 Jan 21, 08:23
  - and the food is prepared with ... -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:22 6
    - but if you're cooking it... -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 08:23 5
      - cooking doesn't kill all of the bugs. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:23 4
        
        yeah, but by and large you're safer with cooked food than with straight up water, or raw food likely washed in the water. -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 08:25 3
        
        you have no idea what the kitchen's cleanliness practices are. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:26 2
        
        my point still stands. -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 08:27 1
        
        so does mine. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:29
to defend ty: He didn't choose to go to India, and he's trying to stay on a diet. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:20 5
- that's the other facet: I have no clue how to valuate the points in Indian food - ty97 Jan 21, 08:21 4
  - If you can't figure it out, it's 4. That's the rule. -- nm - TFox Jan 21, 08:24
  - if you're not used to them, then they would probably only stick around long enough to end up as zero (or even negative) -- nm - zork Jan 21, 08:23
  - depending on the cuisine, it could be very rich. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:23
  - Word. I'd have had to have a few cases of Smart Ones shipped with me. :) -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 08:23

    - as explained to me by a bar patron - Epiphany Jan 21, 08:28

        oh my gawd - this even funnier then I what I thought it was - Epiphany Jan 21, 08:30 3
        
        LOL -- nm - oblique Jan 21, 08:31 1
        
        we all had a good time with it - believe me. Just one of many things that made that the best trip of my life -- nm - Epiphany Jan 21, 08:35
