JLowe Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Fun fact: many years ago I went on a long rant about how I hated the misuse of the term “diva” to just mean any slightly temperamental female pop star. And then one of my friends realized that my name (John Lowe, rhymes with cow but most people think it rhymes with snow) could be nicknamed as JLowe and it stuck. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Various groups have a claim to this part of the ocean and with various external alliances it could really shake up the current economic seascape. As a species, we have been looked down upon for quite some time. We are well past the Shell Age and have technological advances that someone shy of 9-brains would really struggle to understand. But I’ll simple it down for everyone: Recyclable paper straws that don’t deteriorate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I had a dream last night where I, an adult male was riding a school bus, and a generic school bully started picking on the kid sitting next to me, so I stood up for him and challenged the bully to a fight after school (?!) and all the kids were super excited...but then started booing me because I was working shitty back rakes and lengthy chinlocks. Is this a sign? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 @Octopus what do you recommend as an "off the beaten path" pizza topping? with the right co-toppings, i think pickles work surprisingly well. but then, i also eat pickles on burritos, so maybe i just think they should go on everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a sign? You naughty stinker you. You have the soul of a face but a heel at heart. You will stand up for what is right, but you’ll throw dirt in the eyes. You’ll stick up for nerds and you want to stick it to bully’s so badly that you subconsciously want to go undercover and re-go to school. Get suspenders and a little helicopter hat and go to the nearest middle school with a fake idea. Infiltrate the bully organization from within and take them down. You won’t get a good nights sleep until you wedgie every young bully in the Tri-State area. 7 hours ago, twiztor said: @Octopus what do you recommend as an "off the beaten path" pizza topping? with the right co-toppings, i think pickles work surprisingly well. but then, i also eat pickles on burritos, so maybe i just think they should go on everything Oh man, I’m really racking my brain with this. I’ve had funky foods but in terms of pizza, I’m struggling to recall ones I’d see at different buffets. Pickles on pizza works, I’ve had a good cheeseburger pizza that was hamburger meat, big tomatoes, and pickles. I assume bbq. I’ve done ham that I flavored with Alpine seasoning. That worked well on like a Jack’s pizza. Sauerkraut is underrated. You can have that on like a sausage pizza. It’s standard, but if I have like a two toppings coupon or something, I think sausage and green peppers. I like a supreme type pizza with sausage and peppers and things like that. My brother likes pepperoni and jalapeños. I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure lamb would be delicious on pizza. I don’t know if this counts, but when I was in St Paul, there was a deli you could get a Miracle on Slice. It was a deli sandwich but pizza instead of bread. It was a good mess. That place had really good Philly Cheesesteaks though, so I’d usually get that. Closed now, sadly. It’s an extra step, but reheating on a pan is a good way to go. Gives it a crisp burnt bottom and new life. Cold is usually still a good way to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people sometimes are taken back by the vinegar-dill like combination as overpowering. As a tiny octopus I was not a fan. Stood out too much on a burger. Now I’m a fan and I feel it can add to a bite. Or even a spicy chicken sandwich, a bite with a good pickle can be a real treat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I have an aversion to warm pickles. I prefer them cold, dill, and garlick-y. Pickles on a burger never did it for me, nor raw onion; it took me years to get around to eating cooked onions even. Then again I ate like a five year old until I was in my 20s so that's no surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) I don't eat pickles of any sort. I won't eat onions unless it's coated in breading like onion rings or a bloomin' onion. Edited September 8, 2023 by Nice Guy Eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use “afire” if you say theater as “theatre” or in autumn wear an ascot at least three times per week. Otherwise, “on fire” is the way to go.
