    - If that's the case then it's all good. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 13:21

      - Girls! Girls! Neither one of you is pretty! -- nm - TWuG Nov 18, 13:07
      - I'm just saying that the only thing more overrated that Chicago's deep dish crap is New York's limp slices. nm - Jim Nov 18, 13:04 26
        
        Our slices are what poets write sonets about. - Krusty Nov 18, 13:08 24
        
        Whoa, whoa, whoa. I know we're not the mighty pizza mecca, but we make our dough here, thankyouverymuch. nm - Jim Nov 18, 13:10 12
        
        I was kidding. IIRC, you guys have a very large Italian community. - Krusty Nov 18, 13:15 8
        
        In all honesty, I don't care. I just like having the opportunity to punk New York and Chicago in one post. :) -- nm - Jim Nov 18, 13:17 7
        
        Fair enough. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 13:18

        LOFL -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 13:26
        
        Edmonton may be worse - there's a chain that started there called Boston Pizza, as though it's a step up. -- nm - Roger More Nov 18, 13:24
        
        How the fuck did I do that??? -- nm - Jim Nov 18, 13:20 1
        
        dumbass. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:21
        
        Make your own crust? I thought you guys just used giant round Triscuits? -- nm - Roger More Nov 18, 13:13 2
        
        We make our crust the way it was intended to be made. Like mama used to make it in Naples. -- nm - Jim Nov 18, 13:18 1
        
        Nah, real Neapolitan pizza has yeast. And no Provel. -- nm - Roger More Nov 18, 13:25
        
        Seriously? Over Pizza? -- nm - amoxy Nov 18, 13:09 2

        There are places selling slices for 99 cents. You know that's gonna be shit. - Krusty Nov 18, 13:12 4
        
        but there are times when it's exactly what you need. -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 13:16 2
        
        yep - 2 kids to feed while I'm kid sitting and one wants "just cheese" the other "pepperoni" - for 6$ - we call it dinner! - JenBro Nov 18, 13:18
        
        when your tires are stuck in the snow, you can use it to put under them and get out. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:16
        
        I know spamlet loves that place, but it is not my favorite. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:15
        
        Variety is the spice of life. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 13:10

So my cable package has all the Bond movies* free on Demand until the end of the month and my wife and I are watching them in order. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 18, 12:49 1
- License to Kill still holds up. It's amazing how influential that movie is on the franchise, given that it failed at the box office. -- nm - Roger More Nov 18, 12:51
Dorito. Bread. -- (link) - spamlet Nov 18, 12:49 1
- Or as it's otherwise known, NY-style pizza. -- nm - nubby Nov 18, 12:58

  - that post on B2 was not on you personally. There was that poll about how people rate their healthcare ... - zork Nov 18, 12:58

  - mmm this is an excellent answer Meg - whip these up and freeze them -- nm - JenBro Nov 18, 13:11
A tough trivia question would be: which film won the most Oscars back in February's Academy Awards, and how many that film won -- nm - prayformojo Nov 18, 12:47 4
- Was it - amoxy Nov 18, 12:50 3
  - you're very close - prayformojo Nov 18, 12:50 2

- This does make me miss Chris Farley, though. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 12:52 4
  - it really does! -- nm - Jovian Nov 18, 12:56 1
    - Her reaction is pretty good, too. - Spawn Nov 18, 13:05

    - Back in pipe bowl -- nm - zork Nov 18, 12:55
- It appears that Doug Ford was having some altercation (off-screen) with a spectator, and Rob was running over to join in. -- nm - Roger More Nov 18, 12:50 19
  - because Doug is not a grown man who doesn't weigh 300 pounds himself? -- nm - zork Nov 18, 13:03 2
    - This is what I want to see the Ford brothers do next -- (link) - TWuG Nov 18, 13:09 [Image]
    - Other councillors are saying the whole thing (the dispute with the spectator, not the bowling over a 5' councillor part) was orchestrated -- nm - Roger More Nov 18, 13:04
  - I guess it was either governance or the TNA for those two. - Diva Nov 18, 12:52 3
    - It's so unlike him to charge into something without thinking. -- nm - Roger More Nov 18, 12:54 2
      - and after he doesn't quite make the tag cuz some bitch is in his way he grabs his cup of Timmy Ho's. - Diva Nov 18, 12:55 1
        
        he has a nice chuckle over it too -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 12:56
  - just what the late night shows neede, something else to riff on him about. He's making it too easy -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 12:51 11
    - i was at a comedy thing last night. one comedian started with "so, who is sick about hearing about Rob Ford?" Lots of cheers. - Andie Nov 18, 12:52 10
      - and now this, I expect lots of "that lady has free beer!" or "that chick just stole your crack!' kinda jokes -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 12:54 9
        
        it's bad that we're better at this than the late night shows. -- nm - Reagen Nov 18, 13:11 1
        
        I think that SNL could use the excuse that they had to rewrite the skits every single day as new drama happened. -- nm - zork Nov 18, 13:20
        
        it is getting to the point where i am like "really? can we not go *one single day* without him doing something insane?" -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 12:55 6
        
        Collio asked me five minutes before this happened "Has Rob Ford done anything stupid today?" -- nm - Roger More Nov 18, 12:59 2
        
        Coolio! So lovely. So talented. :) -- nm - Diva Nov 18, 13:00
        
        well, it's good that he didn't disappoint. -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 13:00
        
        he *could* have had a day off from this yesterday but just *had* to show up at the game. sheesh. He's addicted to the attention. -- nm - zork Nov 18, 12:59
        
        I'm just waiting for him to marry a Kardashian. -- nm - pmb Nov 18, 12:57 1
        
        heh. Mama K is obviously not on her game, she is missing a golden opportunity for more press. -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 12:58
- LIR, but to me it looks like he was trying to get down that aisle at something out of camera shot. He's basically looking past her and grabs her, - pmb Nov 18, 12:50 2
  - Agreed -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 12:52
  - agreed, but still he was charging like a bull moose -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 12:51
- he had to prompted three times to apologize to her. said he was r -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 12:49 1

PS4! -- nm - Shaun Nov 18, 12:45 4
- Nice paperweight if you cannot hook it up to your tv! -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 12:47 3
  - Hooks up to my (Sony) tv just fine, wanker! -- nm - Shaun Nov 18, 12:49 1
    - So, what you are saying is you have to buy one of *their* tvs, too!?! -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 13:09
  - And unlike the PS3, it doesn't even double as a George Forman Grill. -- nm - Qale Nov 18, 12:48
