you know what really grinds my gears?

biting into a piece of thin crust, "st louis style" pizza and not only does it burn the roof of my mouth to the point of blistering, but it also burns my tongue, and the inside of one of my cheeks. i haven't been able to taste anything for 3 days. unfortunately that is the only kind of pizza that is readily available in this god forsaken town. i mean, it is not really pizza is it? it is pretty much cheese and pepperoni on a crispy cracker.

    The worst part of this scenario is the fact that you can't stop eating it even though the sauce feels like molten lava. Chewing and blowing out hot air at the same time!

    exactly!! molton lava is the perfect description. it is just sooo good though... the worst part is i never, ever learn. i will probably order one later this week.. :fp:

    nothing like accidently touching the burnt, blistered roof of your mouth with a slightly less torched tongue though...

    I found that waiting 5 minutes before biting lessens the odds of this. :lol:

    i mean come on though, the crust is a cracker. there is not enough mass there to continue to hold that kind of heat for more than a minute or two...

    st louis style pizza is the scrawny 90 lb nerd of the pizza world...

    After heating a hot pizza, I can literally take my thumb and pull off the loose skin shards hanging from the top of my mouth.

    The suggestion was made to wait, but my hunger and instincts take over: I feel compelled to dive in lest I miss out on a piece.

    burnt mouth... not a pleasant experience. the first moment is the worst. bubbling cheese on pizza is a very nasty cold hearted super-hero. i suggest calling...wait

    just ship me the heated remainder
    allow 1-2 hours delivery

    i like:
    italian sausage, b. olives, mushrooms
    or
    pepperoni - thin crust ... one of the best pizzas ever built

    I can remember as a kid the toys never quite came out of the package the way they looked on the box.

    That used to tick me off a little.

    Thinking back... I made some terrible models in my time.

    so far this winter i have broken in half two ice scrapers. this morning was the most recent & some weeks ago was the first broken ice scraper of the 2013/14 snowing/icing season.

    i really desire a very durable ice scraper. what gives? it is a common fact that i am a bit hard on things.

    oh totally. i remember i got a voltron toy as a kid that looked nothing like the one on the box. i was a little let down.

    i remember the first "glue together" model i ever put together as a kid. i was like 7. it was a p-47 thunderbolt that my dad bought me at an airshow. i had no idea how fast the glue comes out of the tube. i nearly stuck my fingers together. and i got a lot of glue dried all over the wings and fuselage. it was probably the most jank ass p-47 ever built .. :lol: :oops:

    Allow me to get geek on you; Actually thin crust IS pizza. I use to work as a chef in Italy and that's the way it is although in some regions they call, what we would call foccacia, pizza……but then pizza is still pizza. It's confusing. Thin crust IMHO is the best when done right. It sounds like your town grinds your gears more then the "pizza".
    ….And for the "sand" comment….I'm guessing you have a vagina?

    I've been using a jewel case from one of my cds. My ice scraper went missing and I keep forgetting to buy another one.

    Here's one:

    I bought a remote starter for my vehicle- can't stand sitting in my car and waiting 5 minutes for it to get warm anymore. I got a 'good one' too. First day, bragging my ass off about it, I used the old remote... waited about 5 minutes in my office... and went out to my car to find it never started.

    Fuks sakes.

    Turns out the range isn't 3000 feet. It's 30 feet. And when it does start... the doors are unlocked.

    Taking the vehicle back tomorrow for reconfiguring.

    Here's another:

    No shit. It's not like I travel a ton, but my luggage has been lost on three separate occasions.

    Luggage belt goes round and round until everybody's gone. Then... standing there like a moron looking at the empty belt... I go to the bowels of the airport to report lost luggage. They're really helpful there :roll: .

    The last time it happened, the 'Griswolds' (wife, two children, and myself) went to Disneyland in our travelling gear- not having our suitcases. Massive blister between my big toe and second toe from flip flops served as a constant reminder of the gear we arrived without.

    wow, i had no idea. thanks for the info :)

    i thought new york style pizza was closer to what i would consider pizza. at the end of the day, all of it is pretty good though.

    yeah my town does grind my gears, pretty bad actually, but it has its cool moments too.

    30 feet? what kind of remote starter is that?? that sucks. but i guess you don't want to auto start your car from 100 yards away. someone could steal it.

    I paid for 3000 feet and got 30. Kind of like I asked for a 13 and they gave me 31!
