PrintWhen I delivered pizzas, I had to wear a nametag, and used the name "Skinny Pete" on my nametag. That name was inspired by this sketch:

What’s he up to these days?
And why did they stop showing News Radio in late night re-runs?
Ok
Who else has delivered pizzas? C’mon raise those hands. Don’t be ahamed.

Pizza delivery
I delivered pizzas for Mr. Gatti’s for three-plus years, working first at the store near UTA, then the one near TCU.
I put some serious miles on my old K-car, and went home soaking wet and smelling like yeast nearly every night, but I also got a ton of free pizza, walked out with cash in my pocket every night.
MY manager at the Arlington store used to have me and one of the cooks go out for a couple hours once a week to put flyers on houses around the neighborhood. We’d usually hit just enough houses to work up a sweat, then we’d go to his apartment and get high, pass out a few more flyers, throw the rest in a storm drain, then go back to work. Good times…

The gap in quality
between their buffet and their delivered pizzas is astounding to me. It’s like two different restaurants are making the pizza.

Gatti's
I don’t know about all the stores, but the Arlington store had a buffet, and we were always told to put about half the toppings on the buffet pizzas that we put on the ones for delivery and pickup.
I usually tried to sneak a few extra toppings on, since I knew management was just being cheap.
And I loved me some cheese sticks. I could eat a whole tray of those back in the day…

I'm shocked
That someone at a pizza place was getting high LOL. If I ever need some bud, I can go to just about any pizza place near me and find at least a few people there that have some or can get some. What is it about pizza that attracts the stoners?

I have long maintained...
…that pizza delivery is the ideal job for a stoner.
Low pressure. You get to drive around listening to music for much of your working hours. Doesn’t really matter how scruffy you look. Free food available.
You get cash every night, so you can always go buy some weed or a hamburger or a magazine or whatever. And then, every couple of weeks, when one of your 6 roommates is saying, “Dude, the electric bill is due, chip in,” or, “It is time for rent, dude, where’s yours?” you have a paycheck which you can use.

Hard to disagree with that...
sounds like you have put a fair amount of thought into it as well.

I delivered...
for Gumby’s (the St. Ed’s location, it’s closed now) and Double Dave’s. We used to call Gumby’s “Scumby’s,” and there were hard-core porn facial pics all of the inside wall next to the cash register with a big sign that said “Got Ranch?”

I have to note that the softball was pretty unrealistic. Taking a lead off first. That was goofy

Oh…and in case RC Cook comes wandering around this post. Suck it, gobshites.

Well, to be fair
It did take Gerrard getting hurt and us playing short a man for the last 40 minutes for Everton to score.
Besides, we needed to focus our energies on Europe anyway. How’s that working out for the Blues? :)

True
but if the Fat Spainish Waiter hadn’t sent Keane packing and decided go with everyone’s favorite fuck-up in the midfield the Reds might not have been in such a predicament.
So, it was sort of a grave of your digging wouldn’t you say?
Besides, didn’t you have two chances at full strength to put us down at Anfield while the Blues played without any real striker?

Yeah
I still hold out hope that Lucas is going to be a good player- he’s shown some flashes this season, but the last month, he’s pretty well sucked.
I’m disappointed with how the Keane situation wound up, though I don’t blame that entirely on Benitez. Rick Fucking Parry needs to go in the worst way- that guy makes John Hart look like a paragon of competence.

Lucas
Was talking to a friend a few weeks ago who lives in Liverpool and he was saying that Lucas is and will be better than Anderson. I giggled.
Lucas is fantastic at passing it 5-10 yards side to side and leaving his trailing leg in. Aside from that and one really nice pass against Newcastle…I don’t get it.
The Keane situation is seriously a joke. I understand that you recuperate more by selling him in January, but you have no-one other than N’Gog and Kuyt (and really, that’s pretty much no-one) to step in for Torres if he goes down. That’s patently insane when you consider Torres’ injury history.
Lucas
I don’t know that he really compares to Anderson- they’re completely different types of players.
Lucas was pretty decent for Brazil in the Olympics, and he was the captain of the U-20’s and his Brazilian club (Gremio), so I understand why he was attractive to Liverpool. He just turned 22, so I think there’s still plenty of time for him to improve.
As for the Keane situation, I am concerned that no replacement was signed. Babel oozes tools (to use a baseball term) but seems to have the same problem that Djibril Cisse did with the Reds- a head full of rocks and a lack of concentration on football matters.
I do like Kuyt- no, he’s not the best scorer, but he hustles his butt off, and he’s scored some important goals for us. I wouldn’t be surprised to see N’gog get a few more games, as he’s excelled for the reserves, and I think he’s got a good scoring touch, but he is young and inexperienced.
I still think United is going to win the title this year, but I think the Reds have passed Chelsea and Arsenal, and Benitez has done the one thing this year that he wasn’t able to do much in previous years- beat the other big clubs.
"I dont care to debate with a troll." - Sharky
Lucas/Babel
I think “rocks for brains” could describe either one of them. Lucas has plenty of room to improve but I doubt it’ll happen at Liverpool. I’m trying to phrase this so I don’t come off sounding like a total scouse-hating United fan, but Rafa doesn’t have the greatest of track records at Liverpool when it comes to developing young talent.
Also, I’m not sure if it’s a case of you passing Chelsea/Arsenal or them slowing down to let you overtake them. Chelsea was missing their best defender (Carvalho) for a long period, is still missing their best midfielder (Essien), and isn’t showing near the amount of confidence that they were under Mourinho. Drogba looks absolutely awful and Scolari’s insistence on playing Deco with 1 striker is also puzzling. Arsenal’s playing without their 3 best players last year (Cesc, Flamini, Hleb) and Adebayor’s still the chance-wasting fool we all know and love.
It’s a strange league this year to be sure.
No
But Rafa Benitez did sign it to back up Fernando Torres. Rumor has it the spider has a wicked left foot. Four of them, in fact.

Heh, there he is.
Did you catch Hicks’s mom on Letterman the other night? That was just weird.

Whooaaa
That is one creepy comment.
I need to think something lasts forever, and it might as well be that state of being that is a game; it might as well be that, in a green field, in the sun.
Oh wait
It’s Nadia.
Still, if anyone introduced themself and said “it’s Me. The Examiner” I’d wet myself. That could mean so many bad things.

That's a pretty stupid way to introduce yourself.
