serious q: does the stuff happening around papa john's make you less likely to order their pizza? or would you not have anyway because the pizza is - amanda Jul 27, 09:05 9
- No. They were never option 1 or 2... or even 3. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 27, 10:18
- I’m more inclined to try and get Krusty to bring me pizza. But apparently he doesn’t do that when he visits, so guess I’m stuck with shitty pizza. -- nm - Qale Jul 27, 09:55
- Their pizza makes me less likely to order their pizza. But if I liked their pizza... - Cuzzin Todd Jul 27, 09:34
- maybe 50/50. The pizza is bad and he is an icky guy. Combo would prevent me from ordering again. - Epiphany Jul 27, 09:32

- I expected more based on how high he was picked, but he's above average I guess? - Strongbad Jul 27, 08:41 8
  - He's now got the 3rd highest annual valuation for LTs and was the #7 LT on PFF last year. - David Jul 27, 08:45 6

        Lewan & Martin = 6 Pro Bowls - Strongbad Jul 27, 10:14 1
        
        He's actually above Lewan's level. Lewan was the #9 LT. Martin is very good, but he's a RG, which means he has less value. -- (edited) - David Jul 27, 10:22

- Yeah Biff is pretty accurate and heelarious. I can't find the photo shop of the star on the walk that says " Pick Ax Guy" -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 08:18 3
  - Well, future Biff was based on Trump. Who knew they were so frickin accurate. Also, along the line of horcrux theory - Ivanka has to be the 7th, yes? -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Jul 27, 08:19 2
    - Yes, and I think the others are a bucket of fried chicken, his cellphone, a golden toilet (where he tweets from), his WWE hall of fame ring and a - pmb Jul 27, 08:27 1
      - LYC: Last night I was rereading Dark Knight III which was written during the election. The Trump shots are dead-on. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 27, 08:38

        You are. Plus 15% pa in late charges. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 27, 09:47 1
        
        And their firstborn child, while they’re at it, because why not? -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 09:52
        
        I haven't found it yet. I use SeekingAlpha, which isn't optimal for this stuff. -- nm - David Jul 27, 09:17 6

        If you’re looking up by ticker you need to use the Fast Search field on the Company Filings page. The main search default is by name. -- nm* - znufrii Jul 27, 09:36
