Joe West called security to have the Nationals' GM removed because he was in a suite, by himself, and not wearing a mask. West is a Covid skeptic and - jnine Sep 6, 14:06 6
- Meanwhile, a Braves player is in front of him with no mask. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 14:17 3
  - West's mask wasn't over his nose until he was making the call and look at it, I really think it's made of an ace bandage. -- nm - jnine Sep 6, 14:19
  - They had a sky cam shot of how far Rizzo was from any other person. He might as well have had his own zip code. -- nm - David Sep 6, 14:19 1
    - Like, let’s say it’s a rule...how do you not bust the guy ten feet in front of you standing within 5ft of three other people? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 14:21

    - If it’s three for eternity, I need to balance it out a bit. Pepperoni alone is only 1. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 14:22

    - Bell peppers, maybe. I'm trying to like mushrooms, but I don't yet. -- nm - Judge Bane Sep 6, 14:18
- Some combination of pepperoni, Italian sausage, and hamburger. All three is a bit too much, though. -- nm - David Sep 6, 14:09 1
  - Yeah, I like either chicken, bacon or hamburger on a pizza. But only occasionally, not for the rest of my life. -- nm - Wakanda Forever Sep 6, 14:11
- pepperoni, green pepper and mushroom -- nm - mud Sep 6, 14:05

  - how about pepperoni pepperoni pepperoni, you know how most pizza you get a half moon here and there on a slice, I order my pizza to be carpet bombed - zeitgeist Sep 6, 14:32 1
    - I've had that and found it to be way too greasy from all the oil that comes from the pepperoni. I love pepperoni and will eat half a stick w/Italian - Krusty Sep 6, 14:37
  - Pretty sure you just lost pizza for the rest of your life. -- nm - Wakanda Forever Sep 6, 14:06 6
    - I like the taste of the sauce and crust so I prefer less toppings. I don't like more than one at a time and since it's forever I chose the best one. -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 6, 14:08 5
      - Agreed. That is why I get cheese. Pepperoni just hides bad pizza. -- nm - Wakanda Forever Sep 6, 14:09 4
        
        You got cheese, cheese and more cheese. Besides hiding everything you're not using the bathroom for a week. - Krusty Sep 6, 14:12 2
        
        Hey, he asked for three so I gave him three. Our weekly pizzas are just cheese. Extra for places that skimp. Or maybe some cheddar. - Wakanda Forever Sep 6, 14:18 1
        
        :-) I just put extra cheese on a square that Theresa deemed too light on the cheese when we ordered it. - Krusty Sep 6, 14:35
