- Even my local Kmart is starting to show the signs. - Mop Mar 22, 09:17
- Considering it's been a long time coming, I have to think it was somewhat priced in already. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 22, 09:15

How do people feel about Margherita Pizzas? I love them but I wonder if other STers (esp pizza aficionados) find them boring -- nm - crash davis Mar 22, 09:11 7
- I absolutely love them -- nm - Pippy Mars Mar 22, 09:17
- It's the perfect baseline for comparison, if a place does a good margherita, I'm more enthusiastic about their other stuff. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 22, 09:14
- For sure. Simple is great. -- nm - Roger More Mar 22, 09:13
- It's great. Big fan. :-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 09:13

- The Salvador Dali of maps. -- nm - Max Mar 22, 09:17
- I prefer one of the variants of the pseudocylindrical style. Gall-Peters simply takes one of those and squares off the top and bottom. -- nm - Mop Mar 22, 09:07 5
  - xkcd on map projections -- (link) - Reagen Mar 22, 09:11 4
    - this may be the most awesome xkcd link you've ever provided -- nm - crash davis Mar 22, 09:15

Whoa. Gorsuch says the emoluments clause is "likely to come before the court." -- (link) - mara Mar 22, 08:38 8
- I wouldn't read much into that. He anticipating his questioner's motivation and dodging accordingly. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 22, 08:44 2
  - Sure, it's a dodge, but does the dodge require him to say "likely" rather than "possibly"? -- nm* - mara Mar 22, 08:56 1
    - Not sure it's worth the effort to try and parse a difference there. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 22, 09:08
- I wonder who would even bring a viable suit? - Will Hunting Mar 22, 08:42 3
  - I assume business competitors. -- nm - mara Mar 22, 08:47
  - IIRC first of the week there were some rumblings it is coming. Can not recall who, though. -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 08:44 1
    - It was CREW, an ethics organization, I think. They probably don't have standing. Then there's these guys: -- (link) - mara Mar 22, 08:54
- Wow. That may be the first thing he has said. -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 08:41
Vote on the Las Vegas Raiders could happen next week -- (link) - Beaker Mar 22, 08:38
Longtime Hollywood screenwriter and producer Gary Goldman suing Disney for stealing Zootopia, which he pitched to them several times. -- (link) - mara Mar 22, 08:34
The nonchalance of Canadian skip Lisa Weagle is trumped only by the intense severity of U.S. skip Rebecca Hamilton. - Mop Mar 22, 08:31
“Super Friends,” penned by Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star Rachel Bloom -- nm - Beaker Mar 22, 08:30
Like would you rather fight a hundred duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck -- (link*) - Actual question to SC nominee Gorsuch Mar 22, 08:26 30
- Either way The Kentucky Derby would never be the same -- nm - Jammed Uzi Mar 22, 08:44
- GO DUCKS!! -- nm - Bacon SI Mar 22, 08:42
- I'd take the 1 horse-sized duck. The numbers would get to you I think -- nm - Beaker Mar 22, 08:40 26
  - You could just kick the duck sized horses all over the place or stomp on them but if they - Krusty Mar 22, 08:44 24
    - I would just sit down and pet them. -- nm - mara Mar 22, 08:55 6
      - So, mara would be the first of us to fall to the mini-herd. That might buy us some time to get away depending on how fast they feed on her. -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 08:59 5
        
        Why are the duck-sized horses (DSHs) carnivores? Anyway, wild horses are spooky -- they'd be frightened away by clapping. And tamed horses are tame. -- nm - mara Mar 22, 09:06 3
        
        As the question asks which you'd rather fight the assumption is they've gone rabid and are attacking. - Krusty Mar 22, 09:08 2
        
        I have never heard this rabies idea before. What a dumb question. -- nm - mara Mar 22, 09:17 1
        
        Maybe not rabid but they're attacking you. -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 09:27
        
        Good call. Thanks, Mara! Your sacrifice won't be forgotten. As fitting, there will be many books written about you and they will - Krusty Mar 22, 09:03
    - Hell, even if it could not fly the flapping could blow you away. -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 08:45 16
      - how big do you guys think horses and ducks are? -- nm - Beaker Mar 22, 08:45 15
        
        Horses vary in size but I'm assuming it's a thoroughbred but maybe as large as a clydesdale. -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 08:51 14
        
        Ducks are 20 inches tall, with a wing span of 3 feet. A Clidesdale is 6 feet tall. So a 6 foot duck would have a wingspan of 11 feet. -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 08:58 13
        
        I chose the duck sized horses and that appears to be the right call. That's a scary motherf'ing duck! - Krusty Mar 22, 09:00 12
        
        You gotta hang around some more rednecks...that's just good huntin'. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 22, 09:01 11
        
        Nothing about the sentence sounds like something I'd want to do. -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 09:03 10
        
        Yet you'd prefer to fight 1000 duck-sized horses. -- nm* - Roger More Mar 22, 09:04 9
        
        100. A thousand is not possible. -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 09:07 8
        
        My point still stands! -- nm - Roger More Mar 22, 09:08 7
        
        It's a fight. You don't get a gun. Also, I'd rather fight those tiny horses than hangout with a gun toting redneck. :-) -- (edited) - Krusty Mar 22, 09:10 6
        
        *grabs a long branch and stabs the Man O' War-sized horse in the chest....*feeds 3 villages and is elected king* -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 22, 09:17
        
        I think the weight of what you'd have to do to all those tiny horses would get to you. -- nm - Roger More Mar 22, 09:12 4
        
        It would ruin me for life. I'd hate myself so much. Still the better option. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 09:14 2
        
        You'll be forever known as Equine Hitler. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 22, 09:16 1
        
        The horror... the horror... -- nm - Kurtz Mar 22, 09:16
        
        Why do you want mara's sacrafice to be in vain!?! -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 09:14
  - Yeah, even at that size they would be *fast*. -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 08:41
- My commute home was to Franken grilling him. The Trans Am Trucking thing is BS. -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 08:32
This was obviously written by a crazy person and perhaps specifically to enrage Krusty : the best pizza in Canada -- (link) - Reagen Mar 22, 08:26 28
- my fave when I lived in Toronto ('82-'88) was Golden. I wonder if they're still around. (2 or 3 little joints in the east side) -- nm* - mud Mar 22, 08:51
- Wait, "Pizza Pizza" is not another name for Little Caesars? -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 08:44 1
  - Jesus, go back to Russia. -- nm - Shaun Mar 22, 08:45
- Wow, a list of best pizza finally got number one right. -- nm - J Mar 22, 08:35 5
  - Honestly, I don't think they have the best pizza - but they DO have the best ordering. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 22, 08:48 2
    - Their ordering system is fantastic -- nm - J Mar 22, 08:50
    - And only three of these chains are available in BC (as far as I know, I suppose there might be one or two in vancouver) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 22, 08:49
  - I would add Boston Pizza to that list though, I like their sauce -- nm - J Mar 22, 08:47
  - *rages* -- nm - kRusty Mar 22, 08:35
- ...is a donut. -- nm - Mop Mar 22, 08:34
- You should use that whole list for which places to avoid. From #1 on down. Why leave out all the local places and only -- (edited) - Krusty Mar 22, 08:31 11
  - It's a newspaper for a national audience (and even then it misses some big regional chains). Local newspapers have better pizza recommendations. -- nm - Roger More Mar 22, 08:35
  - The article was specifically geared toward chains. Not much point of a national newspaper to discuss local joints. -- nm - Shaun Mar 22, 08:35 9
    - Fair enough. They acknowledge that there are great local places but with it being a national newspaper people on the west coast won't - Krusty Mar 22, 08:41 4
      - The real complaint is that it's Ontario-centric. -- nm - Roger More Mar 22, 08:43 1
        
        People that grew up in Calgary have this weird obsession with a fake Chicago deep dish style - Reagen Mar 22, 09:04
      - Just like how no one else GAF about Toronto except for the snobby elitist asshats who live there. -- nm - Shaun Mar 22, 08:43 1
        
        Just like living here. :-) - Krusty Mar 22, 08:58
    - Although the burger article has a couple of "famous local" diners. -- nm - Reagen Mar 22, 08:36 3
      - It also has BK's Whopper at #2. -- nm - Roger More Mar 22, 08:39 1
        
        Good to see DQ at #4 even though I'd put the Flamethrower there instead of the Mushroom Swiss, which I haven't had. -- nm - Shaun Mar 22, 08:42
      - Speaking of burgers, joints around town here are gearing up for a Burger Battle beginning Saturday, for 2 weeks. - Shaun Mar 22, 08:38
- Heh, no Papa John's. -- nm - Shaun Mar 22, 08:29
- From the list, I would take Krusty to Pizzaiolo. (Not on the list - Boston Pizza) -- nm - Roger More Mar 22, 08:29 4
  - Panago is solid. -- nm - Reagen Mar 22, 08:30 3
    - I've had Panago once. It was good, but not good enough given the price point. -- nm* - Shaun Mar 22, 08:36 2
      - Fair. -- nm - Reagen Mar 22, 08:40
      - this is the correct answer -- nm - Beaker Mar 22, 08:37

  - Eh, many are owned by China. -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 08:13 4
