I actually have a design doc I've worked on off and on over the years on this very idea.

I just go back and play Epyx Summer Games for the C64 in an emulator.

Airfare to chicago - $300
Lolla 4 day pass - $335
Hotel for 3 nights - $1200
Bottle of Fleischman's vodka - $12.99
Vomiting on the curb just inside the main gate of Lolla 2 hours into the festival - priceless

Kids nowadays. Ugh.

Srsly?

I think I was probably 30 years old before I knew they could be fixed any other way.

same.
now i wont eat one pan fried.

[stevew]

yeah, there are a lot of foods that my mom cooked a certain way and once I went out on my own it was nice to try stuff differently. For example, I never knew roast could be done in a way that made it juicy instead of dry.

Yeah, it wasn't til I grilled one when I was around 30 that I knew it could have a juicy, smoky flavor on its own, without having to season it to death.

Thanks for ruining it for me. Buttmonkeys.

I like breading and pan frying thin pork chops to make tonkatsu.

Actually, I was thinking maybe it was a regionality thing.

Even just "Track and Field manager" gets my money.

Maybe u just start as a club in a major city or something? As you do well you get more sponsorship and can recruit more athletes, etc

My wife makes a healthier shame and bake out of parmesan cheese, some slides and a lil Frank's and then bakes them. Boneless pork chop steaks. They are amazing

Is there a Pizza Hut in the entire country that is run well?

Ever pizza hut I've ever had has given me the runs well.

The one I work at is fairly well run but we don't do major volume.

[stevew]

Dola

Always do crushed tomato sauce and pan crust. The pepperoni/sausage/bacon(especially)/meatballs/beef topping and pork topping are all things you should never order. The veggies are mostly cut fresh and if you stick to ham/salami/chicken and veggies u should be fine. Stuffed crust is fairly bad as well.

But if I'm doing that then I'm just not bothering with pizza at all :/

Then again, I'm down with Little Caesar's for my simple pepperoni fix so not a huge deal.

[RainMaker]

I don't know if it's just bad luck but I either get one that doesn't have enough delivery drivers to handle volume. Or one that just screws up every single order somehow.

Little Caesars $5 pizza is such a great deal.

That's the big difference in the chain places and the Chicago pizzerias. We take meat very seriously for the most part. I'm actually surprised that Pizza Hut and Dominos are able to make it in Chicago. We didn't have a Pizza Hut till recently and I think it's mostly for the DePaul college campus. When my brother moved out of state it's the thing he complains about the most.

The only reason I order on occasion is that I lived on that in college. We had a Pizza Hut in the university commons and you could use your meal card for a personal pan and breadsticks. Sometimes I just crave the breadsticks to this day.

So would most of us.

So yeah, guessing there isn't one because it would sell about 500 copies.

[Suicane75]

I'm at the point now where I always have fresh mozzarella and fresh pepperoni on hand for whenever I get frozen or delivered pizza. There's only one place left where I'll eat it as is and that's a local that makes the best pizza I've ever had.

[stevew]

The breadsticks and cheese sticks are always on point. I hate little Caesars other than the deep dish. Pizza Hut online specials are on point, of course ymmv. We're running 2 medium pans with any toppings for 14$ which is decent I guess. As long as you avoid the sausage and bacon.

The crushed tomato sauce completely changes pizza Hut for me. That sauce is really good. That plus the hut's favorite crust is a decent pizza.

I haven't been near a Pizza Hut that does cheesesticks well in along time. They're always either overcooked or soggy. At one point many years ago they would season them as well, which they don't seem to do anymore. Little Ceasars jalapeño cheesebread beats them hands down now.

[sovereignstar v2]

I have been let down by just about every Pizza joint in town recently, so I decided to try Pizza Hut again based off of some of the latest comments about sauce flavor and crust topping - I can't avoid pepperoni or sausage though lol. Talk about setting expectations low though. They said it'd be around 1hr 45m before it'd be delivered which seemed a bit over the top. Of course it arrived in about 25 minutes.

I loved Sov. He was a great friend. I'll miss him dearly.

I'd probably still prefer death to a Papa John's pizza with pickles.

I've never had a pair of nice socks, but lately I've been having a big issue with dry skin on my feet (to the point that they bleed sometimes). So I do some googling and a lot of places recommend foot baths with epsom salt and to scrub them with a pumice stone. After, put on a pair of thick wool socks to hold the moisture in so your feet don't dry out.

At first, I thought no way I was going to pay a lot of money for fucking socks, but saw that they weren't expensive at all on Amazon. All I've ever worn before were dress socks (thin and uncomfortable as hell) and standard white cotton or polyester socks, usually Hanes. So along with the foot bath, epsom salt and pumice stone, I ordered 5 pairs of wool socks (blended with rabbit fur).

Did the foot bath, scrubbed my feet, and as I soon as I slipped those socks on, I knew I was never going back.

[Logan]

That post was like a written version of a "The Night Of" episode.

[cartman]

Did you have to buy new shoes, since you are now wearing 5 pairs of socks?

Company paid for trip to Vegas (Black Hat security conference) is best way to go to Vegas.

Last year, I found a training that I wanted to attend. It was in Vegas. Which was a great side benefit, but I actually wanted to attend the training regardless of where it was.

My boss nixed the idea. He said that he knew me, and he knew that I wasn't just angling for the Vegas trip, but that the government auditors don't know me and trips to Vegas really get their attention.

Anyway, the point is, I'm jealous

[cartman]

I was hoping my session got picked for Black Hat so I could go as a presenter. But it didn't and I didn't even make it as an attendee.

[Coffee Warlord]

My company budgets to send 3 people every year. One is always for our head security guy (duh), the other two get, shockingly, hotly contested. I lucked out.

Spiffiest part? One of the after hours parties the sponsors put on is an Alice in Chains concert.

Tell him that there are many government-only conferences that take place in Vegas.

Sage advice. You're back in my circle.

Did that pizza kill Sov?

[Suicane75]

You warned him about getting meats on the pizza. You warned him. He just flew too close to the sun I guess.

Good to see we're only about 3 hours into the season and ESPN.coms score tracker is already as unreliable as ever. Unless a bunch of games midway through the 3rd quarter suddenly reverted back to half time. Oh and the Falcons had a 3rd and 22 from the Redskins 20. It feels like I'm play Maximum Football all over again.
