OT: The Thread About Nothing CCVIII: Limes On A Plane

[tr83]

My middle school would alternate pizza Fridays between Domino's (YUCK) and french bread pizza. Almost all the boys, including me, would line up and pay the extra $2 on top of the $1.40 for two extra pieces.

It's the only one of three things from middle school I care to remember

In my school, it was definitely not Ellios. I ate a lot of Ellios as a kid. The cheeses were different. Same shape and size though!

Mine was definitely Ellios (it's made right here in New Jersey).

This was back in the day when Ellios actually had cheese on it. Some years ago it got bought out by a bigger fish & they started skimping to boost their margins (sad); size got a teeny-tiny bit smaller so you barely notice it, and I swear it has only about 1/3 the amount of cheese now.

FYI, that was straight-up Ellios, and you can still buy it at any grocery store.

i don’t know what sort of heathen school you went to, but we definitely weren’t served ellios.

 

[None Shall Pass]

No idea why school pizza was so good.

Because it was PIZZA at SCHOOL. Back when pizza was a special occasion thing, before we all became adults and realized we could order pizza whenever, haha.

That was also the case at one of my schools.

I knew it wasn’t just made taste buds that changed! I used to eat Ellios all the time but then moved away from NJ and they randomly started selling it at a grocery store down here so of course I picked it up. I can’t eat it without adding my own cheese on top because there’s hardly any on it.

It makes such a difference living out in Morris County vs where I was in DT Jersey City. Springtime out here is spectacular once stuff starts blooming. Madison residents in particular knock it out of the park with the landscaping.

I'm like the only mid-20s person in my circle of friends who really has no intention on leaving the suburbs.

The commute sucks sometimes but what you go home to makes it worth it.

Also, so many frozen pizzas have muenster cheese on them. Weird. But tasty!

I always thought it was disgusting. Maybe I would have liked it if I lived in Iowa or something.

And on the other hand, if the first pizza I ever tried was school pizza, I probably wouldn't have ever wanted to try pizza again.

my elementary school's pizza day was sourced directly from a proper pizzeria in town.

My wife is a 2nd grade teacher, and this is what her school currently does every-other Friday.

You get 2 slices, a bag of chips, and a soda for $3.50. She partakes and looks forward to it (because elementary school teachers never really grew up). She was excited last night because today's that day.

wonder what that would've cost in the mid 90s... $2?

$3.50 is still a steal

Damn I wish I had that as a kid.

i'm doing a Game of Thrones game with my roommates where you list your likely deaths 1-10, with their position = point value

it's so hard to do, since i think everyone's gonna die

Interesting you say that, a friend of mine thinks the dead king wins as well & the show has a dark ending.

I doubt that very much, it would anger too many people, and more cynically, it would prevent HBO from having a multi-hundred million dollar spinoff five or six years from now if everyone dies.

I wrote recently in this thread that that is IMO (though it will never be stated) the real reason Sopranos ended the way it did. It gave HBO a ****load of wiggle-room for any eventual sequel(s) it wanted.

That reminds me, I need to hit the liquor store before Sunday night. There's no way I'm doing GOT sober this week.

Given that the battle is this week I don't think there's any way the night king takes it. That would leave 3 full episodes of the dead just pillaging the rest of Westeros. Which even for GoT would be a hell of a curve ball with an exceptional amount of murder.

Not unless night king kills most people, and the rest team up w cersei

So i almost got my ass kicked tonight and i never said a word. But because i looked liked a guy who said a very sexist thing i was blamed.

Take it from a pro, stop going to bars.

And then he annihilates king's landing as well?

I imagine that would take 3 ice dragons. At which point I highly doubt the survivors of this fight would have any interest in opposing.

 

[BenedictGomez]

What was the, "very sexist thing" that was said?

Nowadays if you so much a tell a girl, "you look pretty today", you can be branded a sexist pig, inappropriate, and be fired from your job.

man, Game of Thrones though...

Spoiler

Note that they didn't show everyone at the end of the ep, so a few people could still be dead (greyworm, missandei, sam [i think he's dead], sam's baby mama/baby)

 

[JrFischer54]

game of thrones good lord! that was incredible! i won't spoil anything but if you haven't watched it by now? then you aren't a fan on the show. I had my calendar cleared well in advance knowing this episode was going to be the biggest tv episode ever. it didn't disappoint

the opening charge was incredible stupid but incredible. i would've bounced after seeing those lights go out one by one. i'll stop there though
