That's actually quite frightening.  :o :o :o

I heard somewhere that in the UK, Pizza Hut is coming out with a new pizza with hot dogs baked inside the crust.

I swear, Pizza Hut comes up with the goofiest ideas. They out to just make a basketball-sized ball of dough and fill it full of cheese, pizza sauce and pepperoni and call it the Pizza Ball and get it over with already.  ::)  :P

That's the part that bugs me.  This should have worked.

There are lots of things you could do with the crust of a pizza to make it more fun.  Wrap a little crushed garlic and mozzarella in the crust?  Great!  You've combined garlic breadsticks and pizza!  The cheeseburger only works because all of the ingredients of the burger are enveloped in the bread.  Placing the bread and the burger in one chunk, and the lettuce, pickles, and tomato elsewhere, just doesn't work.  Tomatoes can be argued for, but lettuce and pickles have no place on a pizza.  Conversely, try actually making a cheeseburger with pizza crust, and I'll bet you rapidly realize you could have just ordered a calzone. 

There are lots of things you could put on a cheeseburger to make it more fun.  I'm gonna try fried-to-slightly-crispy pepperoni on my next burger night.  It's just another form of cured pork.  That's not too different from bacon, right?

And yet, the cheeseburger pizza fails.  It's a neat concept, pretty sweet presentation, and I admire the audacity, but I'm going to have to come down on the North American consensus of "not even with somebody else's arteries".

I agree, but salad pizza sells big at Antonio's in Amherst.  College kids will eat anything!

To get serious for a bit, I can see salad-toppings on a thin pizza crust, just roll it up and it's a veggie burrito.  But I'd think they'd have to be served chilled (to replicate the effect of the burrito), or blasted really hot (to replicate the effect of grilled veggies).  Hold the pickles, and that could work...

And to take it right back into the gutter (line breaks are magic!), remember, students, if you're going to eat at the "Y", anchovies might be OK, but cheese is right out.

That poster actually raises an interesting question.  When did "X" as a rating go away?

Turns out it's later than you thought.  "X" was an MPAA rating, but wasn't trademarked.  ("XX" and "XXX" were never used as official MPAA ratings.) The "X" rating lived until 1990, when it was replaced with the MPAA-trademarked "NC-17", first applied to Henry & June.

"Henry and June" was a chick lit/chick flick version of Henry Miller.  Henry was gritty, H&J was Hollywood metrosexual.  I hated it then and I hate it now!

Interesting...as I used to work for Gumby's Pizza as a delivery driver (gumbypiz) for two years on the Ohio State campus back in the early 90's. The whole experience was pretty X-rated if I remember (sex, drugs and rock & roll)...We did serve an (at the time) large 20 inch pizza.

We were known for our motto, "Gumby's Pizza, we can give you 20 inches!"  :D ;D, stamped on t-shirts and on bumper stickers....

You'd be surprised, I have a whole raunchy movie/stories to tell about pizza delivery exploits (thinking about a writing a screenplay sometime, seriously)...I delivered to MANY lonely ladies with little or nothing on at times, was invited to many a college party, frat or sorority house party and everything in-between (sic). I ended many a long shift at 5:30am with a collection of many different bottles of beer and "other" types of "tobacco" as a tip. A pizza delivery driver sees and experiences what no one else would, or would believe happens late at night...

Remember, the pizza guy is always welcome. We could get invited into places police and others would never get invited in to see...it was Gumby's Pizza (notorious for being off the wall), it was a whole troop of pothead, drunken college misfits delivering pizza, what else but a weird lifestyle could you expect?

I second this. 

"The Deliverator belongs to an elite order, a hallowed subcategory. He's got esprit up to here. Right now, he is preparing to carry out his third mission of the night. 

people rely on him. He is a role model. This is America. People do whatever the fark they feel like doing, you got a problem with that? Because they have a right to. And because they have guns and no one can farking stop them. As a result, this country has one of the worst economies in the world. When it gets down to it -- talking trade balances here -- once we've brain-drained all our technology into other countries, once things have evened out, they're making cars in Bolivia and microwave ovens in Tadzhikistan and selling them here - once our edge in natural resources has been made irrelevant by giant Hong Kong ships and dirigibles that can ship North Dakota all the way to New Zealand for a nickel -- once the Invisible Hand has taken all those historical inequities and smeared them out into a broad global layer of what a Pakistani brickmaker would consider to be prosperity -- y'know what? There's only four things we do better than anyone else: music, movies, microcode(software), and high-speed pizza delivery.

the Deliverator stands tall, your pie in thirty minutes or you can have it free, shoot the driver, take his car, file a class-action suit. The Deliverator has been working this job for six months, a rich and lengthy tenure by his standards, and has never delivered a pizza in more than twenty-one minutes."
