for real though i'd probably give half of the money to my family - enough money for my sister to pay off her house and some for my parents as a return on investment for raising me or something. the other half would be mainly cocaine and hookers, if by that i mean save/invest it, give part to charity and also buy cocaine.

Yeah, any wealth I come into goes to the debts of people I care about, and if it was a really substantial amount of money I'd buy people the properties they live in.

So about 2 million to feel like me and mine aren't constantly getting hosed. That's a pretty terrible snapshot.

I started to make a bad joke about charity being the name of the hooker when I was struck by curiosity about what hooker names are in other languages. Do sex workers in Francophone countries still pick working names like charité or étoile or are there different trends?

well, as an expert on prostitutes, i...

i actually have no idea, but going off of this dutch site (so not really francophone, except for brussels i guess) it seems like the names are pretty normal? that site freaks me out.

it's just a vortex of disgust. you've got a bunch of shameless guys posting poorly written and far too explicit reviews of these poor girls, giving an actual play-by-play of their visit. and if the graphic detail isn't enough, they're also in the business of using the most disgusting words possible to describe everything. it's like they're looking for the most creative and absurd words for their dicks, it's insane. you just gave a graphic description of banging a hooker but you're unable to just call it your dick? or are you trying to give your review of a prostitute a poetic feel?

and then there's the content - like every one of these studs totally made their prostitute orgasm over and over again. she clearly enjoyed all their moves. or when they start complaining. 'she didn't let me cum in her ear - total rip-off' or 'didn't look like she was enjoying my tiny dick and wasn't turned on by my grossly overweight fifty year old body. i asked for my money back and she got mad. would not visit again.'

it's real sad and disgusting and ugh.

My problem with pineapple on pizza is that I do not like pineapple, and unlike other pizza toppings, if I'm sharing a pizza with people and I pull off the pineapples, the pizza still tastes like pineapple.

Then just order your half/quarter of the pizza without pineapple. Sounds pretty simple to me.

The girlfriend of a friend of mine once ordered a pizza tonno which - perhaps surprisingly, despite it clearly saying so on the menu - had tuna on it. She then started to complain that she didn't like tuna and started picking all the pieces of tuna from the pizza. Of course, the now barren pizza still tasted like tuna because it's loving tuna and she started complaining about that. Our friend, her boyfriend, started offering to switch pizzas with her but she refused and kept complaining. Finally, she relented and he got to eat a half eaten, brutally savaged, tuna-less pizza tonno. She then at some point mentioned she doesn't really like pizza all that much. God we're so loving tired of her loving poo poo.

Besides, who the gently caress doesn't like pizza?

pizza is pretty popular obviously so you can get pretty much everything you want if you look for it, but the "standard" pizza here is just a regular ol' pizza. round, flat, delicious.

I'd do bad things for a good Chicago or Detroit style pizza but even in Paris I've never managed to find either of them.

The real Italian food tragedy is that hardly any restaurant seems to carry calamari in tomato sauce. :negative: (Also people making pizzas with thick crusts and dough layers because they look larger and are cheaper to produce.)

I'mma say it: gently caress "True Neapolitan pizza."

America took the Neapolitan pizza concept and made it awesome. And I'm not even talking the Chicago/New York divide, because I think they both have their virtues (and I will even advocate for the San Francisco pizza, made with a sourdough crust).

The whole minimalist thing is bullshit, and the tomato-water you end up with that they try to call "sauce" is just loving gross. Plus, the crust is poo poo; it's like a lovely, frozen pizza: burnt crust, still cold in the middle, gently caress that.

gently caress minimalism; pack as much poo poo on there as you can. Hell, put other entire foods on top of the pizza; there's a place near my office that does a fantastic barbecue chicken pizza. They also have a reuben pizza (which I have yet to try). And the crust should be either soft, or slightly crispy, gently caress this "charred" poo poo.

The modern American pizza is a dish of excess, and loving deliciousness. We may have taken the concept from Napoli, but the two have about as much in common as a Commodore 64 and a Surface Pro 3. :colbert: :911:

I've come across a few places that sold what they claimed were deep dish pizzas, some even claiming they were Chicago style, but it was just a normal pizza with a slightly thicker crust, nothing remotely like a good Giordano's pizza in Chicago.

Detroit pizza is square with a thick crust, the cheese is baked directly onto the crust and then sauce and other toppings placed right on that. I make them at home from time to time but there were some places back in Michigan that made some really great pizzas that I can't do anything like justice.

I live in Rennes so I got hooked on galette saucisse, the local street food. It's a buckwheat crèpe wrapped around a big sausage with some good spicy mustard. Some places even sell a galette saucisse complète, which is a buckwheat crèpe cooked with ham, cheese and egg which is then wrapped around a sausage. It's great Saturday morning hangover food.
