I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.

Go to the vending machines, the old ones outside the terminal by the bus stop. They put real food in those.

Yeah but the last time they put real food in them was in 1992.

quesadilla update (quesadupdate): my server's name was literally McLoven. the food was okay, probably not worth it but what can you do, it is important to remember that we all fail to meet our own expectations from time to time, it is how we foster humility.

Wait, has Superbad been out long enough now that babies people had during Superbad are old enough to be servers now

O'Hare is a terrible airport. Not the worst airport I've ever been to, but still awful.

The worst airport is Charles de Gaulle.

I hate all airports because I hate flying. I was not meant to sit still for more than 10 minutes, sitting still in a seat I squeezed into for hours is terrible.

Things that have happened when I was at Charles de Gaulle

- People spitting on the floor
- Information desk workers being rude as heck
- Some people came up to us demanding to sign a petition by thrusting a clipboard into my hands. They were then chased off by armed police/guards with their guns out and they pulled the clipboard out of my hand so fast it burnt my skin.
- A cashier shortchanging me.

Plus it has a very confusing and difficult to navigate series of terminals where getting from one end to the other is a huge pain.

Both Chicago and New York pizza is gross. It shouldn't be so floppy that you can fold it, but it shouldn't be a casserole either.

I never understood pizza intolerance. It's perfectly fine to like Chicago Style and New York style and everything in between. Sometimes you want an artisan pizza, sometimes you want a dirty rotten pizza.

And yes, eating a block of cheese the size of a car battery is pretty great.

Because when you are accustomed to good pizza bad pizza no longer does it for you but if you never have good pizza all pizza is good because you don't understand what good pizza is

If we’re honest, most of us would accept that a bad pizza is a little bit like a bad hamburger or a bad burrito. Not withstanding all its faults, you find that it tends to do more good than harm. It might be a bad pizza but at least its feeding someone while it is in fact a pizza.

Anchovies are a legitimate pizza topping, that on their own are too salty to eat, but on pizza are divine. Its a once in a while topping, not a every pizza topping

Lane Cove? Yeah, I went there once. It was alright, but I seem to remember the pizzas either being too cold or one of them being too salty. All in all they are good pizzas but not amazing. It was also more crowded than it deserved to be, not sure if it's always so popular but it did impact service. We made a booking so got in ahead of the queue, to the ire of some people waiting in line.

Yeah, I live just down the road from it. People go loving mental about it but every pizza ive had from there has been horribly bland and boring.

The best thing I've had there was an eggplant ragu which was p great.

You are incorrect. The worst airport is Mumbai airport.

Things that have happened when I was at Mumbai

- My connecting flight out of Goa left 1 hour late. When we arrived at Mumbai I had one hour to get from the domestic terminal to the international terminal. The only way to do this was via the airport bus.
- The airport bus did not turn up until 75 minutes later, so my flight left while I was still stuck at the domestic terminal
- The international terminal was a total construction zone due to the preparation for the 2010 Commonwealth games (I was there in 2009). There were no signs anywhere for anything and no staff to help
- I tried to contact my travel agent via their 24 hour emergency contact number, was on hold for 15 minutes before giving up. That phone call cost $60.
- Qantas only fly out of Mumbai every second day. They were happy to put me on the next Mumbai-Sydney flight but it didn't leave for 48 hours. Alternatively I could buy a ticket for Mumbai-Singapore (with a different airline) and they would convert my ticket into a Singapore-Sydney flight so I could leave that night. That cost me an additional $500
- I couldn't claim any of it back on travel insurance because the airline that flew Goa-Mumbai ignored every single email I sent them. All I needed was an email acknowledging that the flight arrived late to Mumbai.


On the other hand the best airport in the world is Changi in Singapore.

Hi guys :)

I just wanted to stop by, say hello, and let you all know that the 2015 Mafia Championship Finale Game has officially begun!

Link to game thread: http://www.mafiauniverse.net/threads/269-The-2015-Mafia-Championship-Finale

70 representatives from 70 different communities have battled it out since April, and now it's time to crown the ultimate winner -- the internet's reigning forum mafia champion.

I hope you'll enjoy the read, and I hope I'll see your community represented again in season 3. OR, even better, I hope I'll see you for any other upcoming fun cross-community events - we're gonna do a Hydra game where players can sign up in pairs, which should be a ton of fun :)

In case you're interested in talking with others about the game (or if you just want to shoot the breeze with other mafia enthusiasts), we are a horde of 110+ people on Skype spectating the game. Add me, if you'd like an invite: thingyman

Thingyman you never respond to my skype requests
