Need help. I can't finish this pizza by myself. Can you bring some beer and maybe some DVDs? Or pictionary?

Mmmmm... pizza would be perfect right about now. Better than the can of tuna I just ate while standing over the sink... :rolleyes:

:smile: I hear you -- a couple of weeks ago I had a can of peas for lunch.
 
I ate a can of mechanically separated chicken weiners Friday at work. My boss walked in on me and said "wow, I haven't eaten those in years!".

MIH, does the pizza have olives? I love olives.

:bugeye: you sure they weren't roosters?
 
Evo, it does have olives - black ones - is that OK? I might have some green ones in the cabinet if you want those.

They said chicken, I guess if they can have fingers, they can have weiners. :rolleyes:

At the rate this is going, I'd better bring my own pizza to this party.

If you're bringing the NY pizza, I'm in! :biggrin: I love NY pizza, but do I date a NYer, no, I date a Chicagoan who thinks stew in a crust is pizza. :rolleyes: :-p I'll bring the antipasta.

Our monthly work lunch this month is pizza, and they decided to have it outside, the forecast is 92 F and rain.

I almost ordered something called a Mexican pizza, but I decided against it because I wasn't sure if I would like it. They make it with bean paste and chorizo.

NY pizza is the way to go. I can get good pizza across the street or walk a few blocks and get great pizza. But it's all coming to an end next week... I'm moving to the wilds of NJ.

I'd better bring two pizzas to the party... one for me, the other to toss to you wolves. :smile: (Any kind you want, Evo. :wink:)

Hopefully light on the beans.

At least they didn't decide on the famous potato-cheese soup! That's quite a visual: Evo and coworkers sitting out in the rain, eating never ending bowls of soup. :biggrin:

How did you know MIH was raised by wolves?

Lots of meat, lots of cheese, olives and mushrooms. And none of that cracker crust stuff I want a real pizza dough.

I'd sit out in hot rain for that soup. :!) Pizza might not go over so well.

I like mushrooms, peppers, onions and pepperoni on mine. :biggrin: Or any combination of those that others agree to. No olives on mine, thanks. I love olives, but not on pizza.

I hate that real thin cracker crust crap. I can eat two of those while I'm waiting for the real pizza to come out of the oven.

I also hate "bagels" that are just bread in the shape of a donut. What's up with that?

Good luck with the move! Don't worry, there's still halfway decent pizza in NJ...still much better than what you get out here at the State University of NJ, West Virginia Campus. :biggrin: (I swear, by the number of NJ plates on the roads here, there's more students from NJ than WV arriving this week...you'd think someone would realize this brings in a demand for good NY style pizza and a proper Jewish deli, neither of which we have around here).

Oooh, yeah, peppers and onions! You can pick off your olives and give them to me.

When I was in Palermo, Italy, I swear the restaurant made me a special crust made with cement because I was American. It could not be cut. My date, who was native Sicilian had never seen anything like it. Using brute force he was finally able to smash it into bits, with pieces flying everywhere. He had to share his with me.

I also hate "bagels" that are just bread in the shape of a donut. What's up with that?

Thanks. The hard part is packing up my thousands of books. And they'll stay in boxes for months until the basement gets rebuilt into my library. :cry:

But, once the car situation is settled, I'll be an easy 15 minute drive from my office. So I should have an extra 2+ hours in the day. I can go looking for pizza! (Or just drive back to the city for it.)

I love NY style as well. Here in PA, its the most common. But I have to say, once in a while, Chicago style really hits the spot! I don't have a big problem with it. In fact, there are days I consider making the 12 hour trip to Chicago just for some Giordano's!(I'm not really a fan of Pizzeria Uno.)

I like NY style, I like Chicago... Then again, I'd eat most things that are edible. I'm probably just a glutton!:biggrin:

Hey save me a slice! Extra cheese, bacon, green and red peppers, onions..and some hot pepper flakes..please.
 
  • #31
The pizza is probably all gone by now and for me Pictionary always seems to go something like this comedians version. Have phun without me.:cry:

Caution, mature language. Hmm what is mature about the f word??

No worries, we saved you some crusts. :biggrin:

That video was dead-on. It does seem that many Pictionary games I have been in became extremely hostile.

Is there such a thing as "Dirty Pictionary"? I have played a lot of "Dirty Scrabble". :redface::blushing:

Kind of like reading the wrong category and drawing a pole vaulter instead of a jungle ... and having your partner correctly guess "Jungle!". You just got to have talent. :smile:

(because I got sick so badly for 2 days, I quit eating pizza for such a long time. I know poor pizza wasnt the reason of my sickness but anyway I didn't feel like eating it anyway:wink:)

Pizza?! MIH, you need a good-cooking young man like myself to come over to your place. I'm home alone for three weeks now and I ordered pizza only once. :approve:

Home alone all the time. Rarely has pizza at his house.

You know, the two might be related to each other. Who wants to go to a party with no pizza?

Wasn't there a song about that?
Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I've been eating them for nearly three weeks now,
and I ordered pizza only once.
I think I'll crash somewhere else, dude.

Oh, man! We're out of my home-made, simmered-for-hours pizza sauce! I've got to make some, but first I've got to turn that bag of habaneros and some Russian garlic into hot sauce, because that habanero sauce is the critical ingredient in pizza sauce.:-p

I prefer Italian sausage, black olives, mushrooms, roasted peppers, onion (optional), and jalapeños. I then slather it with hot sauce. :-p

I cannot understand how those horrid chains managed to take over pizza! They sell absolutely awful pizza (Uno's literally makes me ill if I eat it...and I'm not even sure it should be called pizza) and charge more for it than a traditional pizza parlor. I really can't figure out how that worked. If it was cheaper, I could see them winning over the people with no taste buds on a budget (like all the other chains that have displaced good restaurants), or if it was tasty, I could see people being willing to pay more, but it's neither.

I hear ya! I can't stand Uno. I think it is an insult to deep dish pizza. The last time I had it, the crust was way too mushy and soggy for my taste.

See, that's why turbo is popular and you're not.

It seems we have a lot of cat owners/lovers here. I better break out the extra tuna.
