We’re sorry, Spud cannot come to the door right now. In his present condition he might take a nasty spill down a partially frozen waterway, and subject himself to further absences.
This is what happens when you decide to play hockey shortly after a wintery mix storm while misinterpreting the dosage chart on a chronic brownie. He’ll return once he is able to locate his lounge pants.
Until then, we leave you with this debate prompt: Is the following a violation of NAP, and why does every Pizza Hut in existence deserve to be burned to the ground?
I like a ham & pineapple pizza, but that’s just wrong.
I know! Pepperoni has no place with pineapple.
Indeed. Pineapple belongs with prosciutto, the edges made crispy by the infernal heat of a wood-fired oven.
Aw, crap. Now I’m hungry again.

So are the squirrels, apparently.
I just ordered from there for a slumber party. If I knew I would have ordered that and critiqued it.
I like pineapple on pizza but baking it into the crust is just wrong.
I’m not a big pizza fan but if someone else orders it I’ll eat the pineapple. Never let someone else’s crisis go to waste. My daughter left a couple pizzas here, I forget, Jack’s maybe.? Mrs F baked ’em up and we ate them but I told the missus not to buy any for us.
I asked a panel of rabbis, they should be able to agree.
#HURK…………spittle-spit
No, not in the crust FFS!
You’ll doom everyone!
/I like Pineapple on pizza
How did the ER treat you? Are you mobile again?
Slightly mobile, but I’m on cruise control, lest I make it worse. Broth and mint tea,
What happened? I’ve been out except for Thursdays for the most part.
Pizza Hut pizza is/was horrible but the pizza/salad bar lunch deal was very teenager pocket money friendly and they had the Journey arcade game and those bitchin textured red soda glasses.
Pizza Ranch has a decent salad bar and sides, chicken, smashed taters, etc. Even dessert pizza that can have add-ons
Their personal pan pizzas were a lunch-time favorite back before my job got shipped from Wall Street to NJ and I had more than two or three options for lunch.
I remember that deal. Sometimes a group of us from the grocery would go over to the nearby Pizza Hut for lunch when we had an all-day shift.
Wasn’t it called “Bunch O’ Lunch” or somesuch?
I’ve murdered a few of those in my day.
Yeah! It was an Asteroids cocktail unit at my pizza place.
Ms. Pacman at the one I frequented
Explains a lot.
Are you arcade-shaming me??!11?!
I nearly puked at a Shakey’s pizza buffet in Rochester, MN. My friends dared me to eat a pizza sandwich (replace the bread of a sandwich with slices of pizza) with chocolate mousse and salad fillings. This was after eating 15 slices of buffet pizza. I very nearly puked right there in the restaurant.
Boyz will be boyz
By damn, that sounds like a fun date
Since Neph actually has a life, I will host the Saturday zoom. Starts at 8pm Eastern.
Fair warning: my mother and I had a martini via the phone so I will likely sign off early.

I had a violent car crash today so I got some shit to say so thanks Tulip.
Are you ok?
Western told me that his life flashed before his eyes and that his only living regret would have been that I never got the cookies you promised me. He’s a true Glib. He has respect for his Firster.
Of course I am ok. I use the word “violent” loosely. It happened in a parking lot.
It’s good that you’re OK.
He wasn’t ok before the car crash.
Ha!
Other driver is being transported to a black site as we type.
And then the fun begins.
I wish,
dumb bitch driving too fast in a parking lot.People sometimes interact in ways they wish they didn’t.Apparently Spud has gotten mixed up with some East Coasters and lost touch with the outside world.
We’ve kept him busy, since WebDom and I have been rather occupied with much more dreadful matters. He baked 170 cookies yesterday, helped us prepare 250 orders of peanut noodles, worked an event for us today, and broke into my wine cellar while I was at the hospital. A true friend.
At least you know he’s been there. You and Spud are two lucky guys, 6-7 billion people in the world and somehow you met one another.
Now my wife will know she’s not alone in her good fortune.
Find a new hiding place for the key to the cellar.
Song for Mr. and Mrs. Fourscore
Or perhaps for OMWC and Spud.
Wait, you were at the hospital? But I thought…
It’s been a rapidly evolving process. Not in a good way. At the moment, we’re at a larger hospital in Rochester. Spud was kind enough to come out here and help support us.
Thanks for the update, OM. My heart goes out to you, SP and Webdoom.
If I could I’d be Spud’s helper.
This ^^^
Sorry. Best wishes.
Better than the Hut. The only problem with this recipe is if you want it today, you need to start it yesterday.
I like roasted pineapple, glazed with honey and/or brown sugar. Just not on pizza.
Hope Spud didn’t sprain anything.
Roasted/grilled pineapple rings are also quite tasty on an all-pork hamburger.
Getting hungrier. Why did I sign on at dinner-time?
Wow! Some people just can’t stand being second. Where is ol’ what’s his name? Has he seen this?
I’m glad I never have to worry about that. Being second.
Good Lord! SugarFree changed his handle!
I guess the thinking is something like, “Pineapple is good with baked ham. Pizza can have ham on it. Let’s add pineapple!”. As Fourscore mentions, if someone offers it, I’ll eat it, but I won’t order it for myself.
I probably haven’t eaten at Pizza Hut this century. Nothing intentional, I can just find somewhere else (although they closed both PH locations in LA county several years back.)
I love it.
Yeah, I think the local Pizza Hut locations here closed some years back, and the closest one is a half-hour away.
Look, the Swedes put banana on pizza. Apparently it is good.
In the Caribbean I had a salad that had bananas and tomatoes and it was wonderful.
Sounds good to me, too.
I’d crush that.
Particularly after climbing out of the pond after a late-season game!
It sounds like Spud is having a good time.
Or they stole his kidneys and left his body in the woods.
Please. he was humiliated that people found out he can’t skate backwards and won’t come out of his room.
5 Guys raised their prices again. Sorry guys, you’re off the list.
$12+ for an ok bunless burger from a fast food joint just ain’t happening.
Word. (not that there is a Five Guys anywhere near me but I know them) (well, not all five but never mind) (three of them owe me money) I am experiencing the same phenomenon here in podunk. Everything including bun-less fast food is going up. Good thing we don’t have inflation or shit could get really bad.
My mom and I had this conversation. I’m bringing my lunch when I’m in the office because the cafeteria is just too expensive for the quality. If I’m going to eat mediocre food, I’ll bring it from home. Kidding, my food is better than what they serve.
Tried 5 Guys, was not impressed. Steak & Shake has a pretty good burger but I’ve only had it once. Best nation-wide chain burger? Carls, Jr. (and that opinion was based only a little of the commercials with what’s-her-name on the mechanical bull).
Hardee’s is better.
How many locations do they have in the northeast, anyway?
Twelve dollars? YOU-ESS?
Good God. See how many giant sacks of unshelled peanuts you can steal from the place next time you go there. Assuming there’s a next time, of course.
Just looked at the menu. My work location is gone but there apparently there is a new one nearby – if I were to go to the office.
The $5 little hamburger is now $8.22. My usual was plus bacon and cheese which takes it to $10.80. Plus $5.28 for the little fries. Yikes!
(I can’t eat their “regular” size burger or fries – it’s way too much food for me.)
Shanghai is looking pretty ugly. I haven’t been following closely. Why is the CCP shutting them down?
Because they can?
Ask Klaus.
Because if they didn’t, they’d have to admit that their zero-COVID policy is an egregious farce and epic failure which would in turn lead the GenPop to realize that the CCP does not have the Mandate of Heaven and therefore can be turned into worm-food by hundreds of millions of furious Chinese?
I’m just spit-ballin’ here.
I wonder why Shanghai specifically. Are we supposed to believe there are zero cases in every other city? Maybe the MSM media swallows that but I sure as hell don’t.
Beam gets it.
I talked about this with my buddy today. Last week I had a customer meeting with people based in Shanghai and Beijing. They told me that the COViD numbers in thier city were up to 200 cases.
I added two orders of magnitude for China reporting censorship. I guess either they want to try to limit COViD or shut down the economy of the world to demonstrate their power the world.
Local Chinese officials tend to respond strongly to Beijing mandates as a show of faith and obedience.
Pizza Hut’s not really even pizza, is it?
Of a sort. It’s party pizza. There’s nothing wrong with that.
We have a Pizza Hut in my podunk town, it could be worse.
My buddy is the MGR. so free pizza for our club, why complain?
TANSTAAFP.
It’s a bribe for tournaments,
Pizza Hut is way better than the local chains where I grew up. So is Dominos. Both were a great treat on the rare occasions we didn’t go with the local chain. So I have nothing against either to this day.
Pro-tip: do not try the local pizza in western New York. I’m looking at you, Pontillo’s.
When you say Western New York, what exactly are you referring to? Because it can’t be the pizza in Buffalo.
Rochester. I have less experience with Buffalo pizza but I don’t remember it being very good either.
Bocci’s pizza in Buffalo is some of the best I’ve ever had. Pizza and wings.
The problem is that most pizza in the area is that doughy midwest abomination.
Don’t know of Bocci’s.
But yeah, Buffalo knows how to do wings.
DON’T TALK ABOUT ME THAT WAY!
*
runswaddles away crying*We have one too. Never any cars in the parking lot.
I’m convinced it’s a money laundering operation.
I have no idea if anybody goes to the fast casual places here in the post-coronapanic era.
Why is the CCP shutting them down?
An abundance of caution. When we’re all dead, there will still be Chinamen aplenty.
Haha, my spellcheck does not approve of “Chinamen”.
There’s a Chinaman Gulch and a Chinaman Cove up the road from here. Guessing they’ll be purged soon. My phone doesn’t seem to mind.
I just had a couple of Wendy’s “double stack” burgers (no CHEEZE, please). They’re just like the old original Wendy’s double. $2.50 apiece. And a med frosty. I got out of there for sebn fiddy with a belly full of dead animal protein.
Hardee’s is better.
Hardee’s *is* Carl’s Jr.
That’s what they want you to think.
You probably think Best Foods is better than Hellman’s, too.
Only artisanal mayo for me.
Wrong order.

Dave’sSpud’s not HERE, man!I watched some crazy samurai movie last night. I might have to watch it again, to see if I can possibly figure out what the fuck is supposed to be going on (other than this immortal maniac mowing down herds of bad guys like a McCormick Reaper).
I just watched the first 30
Minutes of Comrade Dracula and decided that is getting posted very soon.
Damn. I hate typing on a phone.
Me too, especially since it seems I now cannot even type of a PC keyboard…
Compromise. A light drizzle of pineapple juice on a ham/Canadian bacon pizza prior to baking is acceptable. Otherwise, the taste of pineapple is too overbearing.
“Comrade Dracula” you say?
*ponders*
Yes! Found it on Tubi. A recent film. Can’t share links on this phone. Communist vampire film. Very promising.
Nephew update: doing much better. OT has approved him to drive, if neuro doc signs off on Tuesday. My sister thinks he will be working again within a month, if not at HVAC, then something ( he is a freakin hard worker).
Perp has been charged with felony assault by state of Maryland. NCIS also investigating, as perp was* a marine.

A local Eye-talian food truck does “Dilly-Dilly” pizza, which is a white sauced pie with slices of dill pickle. Nice, if you like pickles and can wrap your head around the concept.
And for those of you who can’t stand the thought of sweet fruit on pizza, WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?
I thought is was a dessert pizza with a dilly bar on it.
My god can’t find that page.
*refresh*
Oh, my…. that’s a bit much.
I love pickles, maybe even on pizza. But the entire concept of white pizza… that’s racist you know? Haha, I bet you knew I waws going to say that. Anyway, I don’t much care for it, I like pizza with marinara and I don’t care how racist that is.
Haha, I bet you knew I waws going to say that.
Actually, I was expecting you to start screaming “HIPSTER JUICE!!” for no reason.
Oh, come on, Ted, you know I only scream hipster juice for a reason.

Funny how I am somehow almost completely unaware of that. Oh well…
People with inchoate rage don’t recognize that they have it.
Ah, I see, well I guess I will just have to live with it. I’m sure it’s not as abad as gout in your toe, it can’t be.

Gee, I don’t even have to play hockey to get all hobbled up. All it takes is a stumble on a step stool and then you get a metatarsal bruise and a gout attack in that big toe. The 2nd is painful as hell.
I’m having a couple of advils and a couple of shots of bourbon.
Just did some rocket surgery on my hyroponics gardens, moving the 3 pepper plants (2 biqinho and 1 mini-bell) and 3 maters (orange hat micro dwarf) out of my lettue plot befoe they got completely choked out and moved to one side of my farm 24xl. Now I’m going to plant the other half of that with 3 more maters (heiroom cherry) and 3 jalapenos. Harvested about half the leaves from the lettuce (30 days), using cut and come gain method.
I see the ‘Big Guy’ threw his son under the bus. You gotta love these rotten stinking corrupt bastards.
This won’t go well
Nope. I went full time W@H. Staying that way. No more 2 hours on the road every day. Everyone I monitor is across the globe. Nobody is local. What’s the point?
Same.
If my company tries to pull this, I’ll just quit and find better pay remotely. I am pretty confident I can do this as I am fairly underpaid.
Right on, bro, me too!
Here’s the deal, with the ever increasing amount of companies seeing the cost benefit and the enormous increase in their available talent pool, anyone who doesn’t adpot this model will be crushed in the competition of recruiting new talent. I can’t even believe that Eric Schmidt is that stupid. Early senility?
I can’t even believe that Eric Schmidt is that stupid.
He’s a former Sun exec.
In the process right now. I have an interview Monday morning and a callback Tuesday morning with two fully remote companies. “Back to office”? Buh bye
I wish you success.
Good luck, super lid man!
Good luck, trashy!
It’s easier to get a good customer than a good employee. Always support the good employee, they’re scarce.
One dept of one of my clients aleady tried it, and it was a catastrophe. Nearly 100% of the people being forced back chose to resign or retire. That was the last experiment with that.
One of the Google founders doesn’t know how working from home can work? LOL, that’s not a tech guy, that’s a luddite.
He’s not one of the founders. He’s the ceo the two brought in, or Vc brought in, to run things “professionally”.
With the staggering number of people who have just “retired”, I agree.
There is going to be a crisis very soon.
Very reason I am not retiring any time soon, I am still a valuable resource. Why would I retire in a few years when I can sit here at my desk and make lots of money and still have time to do everything else I want to do? Especially being remote.
My boss is retiring next week. This is about the third or fourth cycle of oh no retirements will take all of our skilled people away. I’m a bit numb to it now but this does feel a little different. Eating the seed corn for the past several years and cutting actual employee development particularly with covid has me wondering. I need a couple more years.
Not for anyone. We’ve been telling everyone that WFH works just fine – it does for the 3-7 year people. But our 1-2 year people need the interaction and mentoring and informal training/observation they get from being around more senior staff. They also are not emotionally connected to their colleagues so they are willing to quit every time someone waves $5 more in their face. Why not, they just sit in their apartment at a computer all day anyways. They also have ZERO peer pressure to do more than the bare minimum. Try showing up late to an office were people don’t, or ducking out at 5:30 when people don’t leave until after 7.
So we have the nubies and a few die hards like me frequently being in the office. The middle isn’t mentoring or learning to lead and the noobs aren’t getting that informal training. So not only will our company suffer in the long run, but our clients will too.
Yeah, WFH fucking rocks.
Yup.
I was supposed to be in that sort of role (mentoring newbies as the mid-career type), but instead they got barely any interaction with me. And they really needed it. I thought it was mostly on them- there isn’t any reason you can’t do a video call and get some decent mentoring, though it isn’t the same. Definitely got the bare minimum out of them, and myself too :/
Definitely agreed on the lack of team building (no not those stupid exercises).
There are days lately where I feel as though I’m all out of Firsts. That I’m all used up with nowhere to go. Every Firster’s career eventually comes to an end, and none of us knows how much time we have left. Even though I carry The First, sometimes, I’m insecure, too. Then I read posts from people like UCS or Hyperion and I’m like…no, I still have a lot left in the tank. By The Great Firster, I’m not them.
The First still grows in me.
You never had any firsts to be out of.
Your mother used to beg me to First her when I was younger, but I would always refuse.
This is Bro to a tee,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUT_vywXHqI
Just a whore, not an attention whore.
Dude, your 29th. Let me fix it for you…
“The 29th grows within me, each day feeding from my essence, and yet, being my very essence at the same time. I would look at those beneath me, in the 30’s, but they are not worth it. I would look above, at the more than 2 dozen commenters that preceded me, but they are merely the opening act in this Twenty-Ninthing Opus.”
Gyros aren’t even in the top 50 of best foods, but the guy with the gyro avatar is trying to tell me what it means to be First. Next Hyperion is going to try and tell me what it’s like to be with a women.
I love you but you’re wronger than wrong. WRONG.
Agreed. A good gyro puts a 5-star meal to shame
Done well ( like in the scary parts of south-side Chicago* ), gyros are excellent.
*splashes tzatziki sauce in Bro’s eyes*
*Hometown Gyros…look ’em up.
Gyros are excellent. I used to respect you. You are now just a seconder to me.
Shawarma > gyro
I’d like to take your word for it, but I have never been to a Shawarma place…
First time I had it was in Demark…go figure
I have always divided the world into Firsters and seconders, but it seems I now also need to view the Glibertariat in terms of the gyroists and the anti-gyroists.
In case you still thought the 2020 election was legit…
TL;DR: The US does not even follow any of the recommendations for fair elections on which we spend money to promote internationally.
“In case you still thought the 2020 election was legit…”
I stopped believing that at just after 4am the next morning.
Trump lost, Biden won. Right outcome resulted, so it must be fair and legitimate. Unless you’re a Pro Putin Ruskie apologist.

Well, tonight I re-watched a movie, In the Mood for Love, that I’ve generally considered my favorite for the last 20 years. For the first time, despite numerous times that I’ve watched the move (though, probably, not in the last 10 years), it was clear to me that the main characters failed to remain chaste at the end of their relationship. Finally, everything made sense at the end of the movie. Is it because I watched it for the first time on Blu-Ray or got jaded over the years?

This is the end result of being soft on crime.
Do people expect to get away with murder? Is the hatred/jealousy so bad that one would trade a bad freedom for a bad incarceration?. I don’t understand people and their motives.
Well, on the one side, people *do* get away with murder quite a bit.
But mostly it’s poor socialization and no ability to articulate consequences among people raised in impoverished communities. Note that by ‘impoverished,’ I don’t mean ‘poor.’

Good Morning Crew.
was busy moving dirt out of barn, replacing some trees. Got 4 sheep shorn last night.
woke up in pain, and have to take care of the chickens.
Might be a slow day for me.
Hope everyone is ok. Very glad to see all of your posts.
We didn’t call it dirt from the barn and it was a daily event. I helped a neighbor shear sheep many years ago. My job was tying the fleece into bundles, as I remember we did about a 100 sheep, he hired a pro that was like a GI barber.
Take care, a day of rest, that’s what tomorrows are for.
Watched a bit on TV about shearing sheep. The narrator called it “back-breaking”.
Oh, I remember now, it was some postage-stamp town way down in the south of Argentina or Chile. Generations of inhabitants, that’s all they do is shear sheep.
They probably fuck the sheep too in the downtime, but the show wouldn’t have mentioned that.
