The joy of new socks is better than the joy of new underwear.

The joy of not having to wear old underwear anymore is better than the joy of not having to wear old socks anymore.

They are different beasts.

So, that clip makes me think of the just for laughs gag reels (is it one?), and on that topic, Howien Mandel bought just for laughs. Not sure what to think of that.

Howie Mandel buys Just for Laughs festival

Just For Laughs is about to become the cleanest (as in hygiene) comedy festival on the planet.

I feel like there wasn't enough vitriol in the last debate topic.

How do you guys feel about pineapple on pizza?

How do you guys feel about pineapple on pizza?

Hawaiian pizza is great. It's a perfectly fine pizza, it just exists slightly outside of the North American "pepperoni or gtfo" traditions we have around pizza. I assure you, the rest of the world does not have those ideas.

I feel people who vehemently hate Hawaiian pizza on the basis of tradition just aren't terribly adventurous people in general. I've had horse meat pizza before, and it was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. By comparison, pineapple is the tamest topping.

I mean, if you just hate pineapple, that's fine. You can't help hating a food. I hate green olives (the kind they usuall put on pizza), so I don't want it on MY pizza... but it's not like I fel as though they don't belong on pizza. They do... just not my pizza, please.

This whole "it doesn't belong on pizza" argument is dumb. You like it, or you don't. But there are enough people who like it that it certainly belongs on pizza. Maybe not on yours, but in general, yes.

I always thought pineapple on pizza was one of those faux outrage type things. Pizza is one of those really nice foods where you can easily customize to your liking (or pull of whatever you don't like).

I like it .. I like hot banana peppers or jalapeno peppers with it .. a little sweet and tangy with some hot and spicy .. w ham is good , chicken, bacon .. all good.

I am a pizza with gravy lover, right off Elgin, I can't remember the name of the place, but man is that good. Pepperoni pizza with their special gravy poured on top...delicious

Same. I'm a naturally cautious and defensive driver, but I can't imagine why anyone would willingly be hyper-aggressive in driving. If someone cuts me off, I'll be upset for a second, but I don't let that stay with me.

On the other hand, if a lane is closing up ahead and a driver tries to skip their turn by jamming to the front and forcing their way into the congestion, I'll do everything in my power to block them out. It's my one true weak point as a driver but dammit, I get so frustrated by it. It's an extra minute's wait, max, usually.

I have a zero tolerance for people who do that and will refuse to let them in. It’s just plain rude.

I told a friend once that one of the greatest little joys in life was putting on new socks and he looked at me like i was crazy.

I thought I was alone. .. until now.

 

[Ray Kinsella]

Off topic, but since this thread is called the Crisp New Underwear edition, I have to ask.


What's better:

New underwear

or

New socks.




I vote socks.

I don’t wear either.

I realize I’m a bit late on the driving escapade thread. I’ve experienced a little bit of everything that folks have described here.

My most unique experience however, was driving on a two lane highway. Summer time, mid-morning, not busy.

One vehicle in front of me, in front of that vehicle is police cruiser. The speed limit in the particular area was 90 kms. So we’re all gingerly driving along. Until dude or dudette in front of me decides to get impatient.

I’m not sure how many people know this, but when you pass a vehicle, the speed limit is still in effect.

So dude or dudette puts on the signal to passe the police cruiser at over 100 kms. Sadly, I was alone at the time and couldn’t share my disbelief with anyone but myself. So I profusely talked to myself and laughed in disbelief anticipating what was going to happen next.

As expected, as soon as dude/dudette merged back into the lane in front of the cruiser, there went the red lights.

I couldn’t wait to get to destination to tell anyone who would listen.

 

[DrEasy]

I don't think pineapple is as controversial as anchovy on pizza. (I like both but not at the same time obviously)

Passing a cop car on the highway? At that point there needs to be an extra punishment for being too dumb to operate a moving vehicle.

I once had a pizza that had baked beans on it. Wasn't too bad. But just not proper pizza. Pineapple ruins pizza. Period.

Agreed! It was very particular.

No more hockey for me, and on turnaround, booked tickets to head to Gatineau/Ottawa tomorrow with a couple. Going to check out the Isles and Panthers games and see 1/2 of Victo's games across the river. There for days, first time I've been there in a few years so looking forward to it.

What advice would you give your 20 year old self?

What advice would you give your 20 year old self?

Don't go to school just for the sake of going to school. Make sure you really want to do what you learn as a career.

Sell everything you own and buy bitcoin, then sell at 19k.

Georgia's.. .the pizza isn't that good on its own but the gravy pulls it all together...if you haven't tried it don't knock it.

 

[DrEasy]

What advice would you give your 20 year old self?

- for one, you're doing just fine. The frustrations you're having will go away.
- don't worry, you'll gain plenty of weight in due time!
- be nice to, and patient with, the people who love you.
- don't try so hard to "fit in", instead, find the people where the fit will come naturally.
- this quote that I love: "the secret to happiness: low expectations".

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

What advice would you give your 20 year old self?

There's a ton of stuff I could say.....but the 20-year-old me was way too stubborn to listen to any of it (even if it came from a 45-year-old me).

But, if there's one thing I could tell the kids out there today....get an education. Doesn't matter if it's trade school, university, college, or whatever. Learn something. Anything. Having any kind of specialized knowledge is a huge boost in the job market out there (even if it doesn't look that way to anyone searching right now).

 

[Knave]

Find something I really enjoyed at school and major in that. Work hard, apply to internships and summer jobs and go to more networking events.

I don't hate or dislike what I do now but I wish I had found something I liked more.

The work hard and get in the industry early (while still in school) is pretty critical for anything these days.

Shout out to the other parents of young ones .

Thanks for all the content on HF to scroll through , I've been up all night with a puking feverish 2 year old, and in between her puking and me watching her and worrying I read through a copious amount of nonsense ! Entertaining nonsense !
