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.

we can play R/P/S - once you guys get sick of my teeny bopper 80's DVDs and playing Pictionary. :smile:

I'm great at Pictionary! Drawing stick figures in lewd positions is the only artistic ability I have!

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:

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

Why am I always late?:cry: You know it's been for about 1 year since the last time I ate pizza and by reading your thread I suddenly miss that a lot:-p
(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
 
  • #42
I prefer Italian sausage, black olives, mushrooms, roasted peppers, onion (optional), and jalapeños. I then slather it with hot sauce. :-p

(I'm not really a fan of Pizzeria Uno.)

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.

:rolleyes: Of course not.

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

Can I sell your extra Pizza on Ebay? :devil: I am selling everyyyyyyyyyything on ebay now.

It wasn't a real flight but I guess it would probably be to New York.

Oh, I've got lots of them, I just don't know their english names. :-p

Well, yesterday I prepared a tomato sauce with tuna fish and pasta, for example. Simple and tasty.

There once was a young woman named Lisa,
Who fell ill while eating a pizza,
Though the dish was not to blame,
She was conditioned just the same,
Now pepperoni makes her quite ill-at-ease-a.

:biggrin:

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.)

Congratulations! That should be a significant quality of life improvement. For me, the memories of sitting in traffic for hours every day is nothing but a bad dream now.

As for pizza, I like everything but anchovies with a thin, crap, cracker crust please. :biggrin:

Sounds good! I make my pizzas on flour tortillas and cook them on a perforated aluminum pizza pan, so they get crispy. I used to throw my own pizza crusts, but one day I got lazy and decided to try using tortillas. They are so good, I never went back to fresh-dough crusts.

Oh, missed that. Yeah, hold the crap AND the anchovies. Pretty much anything else in the fridge is fair game, though. One of my favorite topping combinations is sauerkraut and hot sausage with minced garlic and onions.
