Next on Crazy Customer Requests: trying to add a topping to a pizza.

quote:

A Sprinkle Of Stupidity
Pizza | Salem, OR, USA | Crazy Requests, Food & Drink

(I work at a pizza place that often allows customers to switch out ingredients, as long as they are not adding any extra.)

Customer: “I want the all meat with no sausage, add bacon, and add green pepper.”

Me: “Great, sir. We can take the sausage off, but unfortunately I can only add one other ingredient. You’ll have to choose which one you’d like.”

Customer: “What if I add bacon but only get a spritz of green pepper?”

Me: “You’d still be getting one too many.”

Customer: “What about a dash?”

Me: “Sir, the manner in which we apply the ingredient won’t make any difference.”

So women are an industrial commodity whose value has been artifically inflated for generations by international cartels? Sounds about right.

(And getting them uncovered involves years of painstaking removal or a quick bit of detonation with long-lasting environmental havoc. Yep, sounds about right.)

To be fair, some old country and folk stuff is brutal. I read somewhere that rappers in the nineties would include bits of "Knoxville
Girl" in mixtapes as a way of saying "hey look, horrifically violent music has been around forever, don't get your panties in a twist". Murder ballads own.

If you have Amazon prime, The Boatman's call, The Firstborn is dead, the remaster of From Her to Eternity, The Good Son, Henry's Dream, Let Love In, Murder Ballads, No More Shall We Part, Tender Prey, and Your Funeral...My Trial, along with a few other scattered songs, are all available for download/streaming through the Amazon Music app. It's all pre-2000 albums, but I like those the best.

Also Nick Cave is the best and one of the three examples I first think of when trying to justify that Australia has some artistic output worth mentioning (the other two examples are TISM and Mad Max). My godmother introduced me to his music and Terry Pratchett as a troubled youth. She was great.

My favorite thing about these things is how they always act like rap is STILL some entirely new, emerging, shallow genre that only the youngins are into. Even by very conservative standards it's been around since the 80s.

Plus that particular stdh requires the "kid" to ask "which rapper" wrote the piece, when nobody talks like that.

Last I checked, bacon is a topping that always comes on a pizza that's "all the meats" or "meat lovers" or whatever. This story makes no god drat sense.

Sometimes they don't put "premium" meats on specialty meat pizzas, or if they added bacon as a topping after the all-meat pizza was established they might leave it off.
I worked at a pizza place in high school, and when we added chicken to the menu (that was tasty as hell) we didn't add it to the all meat specialty pizza.

OTOH:
  • we did have bacon on it
  • the owner of the store actually asked us to be dickish about customers ordering the specialty pizzas and swapping out toppings to exploit the specialty discount vs. ordering the toppings a la carte

Last I checked, Prime also has 20000 Days on Earth, which is sort of a pseudo-documentary about Cave, and is a really well-done movie whether or not you're a fan.

Maybe you can count Warren Ellis as well, if you can separate him from Nick. He's amazing on his own, and Dirty Three are fantastic chill out music.

It depends. Some may feel paranoid, like gays are gonna get them and make them gay/are contributing to the "pussification" of society by being effeminate. That has more to do with traditional gender roles than actual sexuality though. Alternatively there's probably some that are so far down the rabbit hole, they believe uptight bitches are the reason why men BECOME gay in the first place.

This, as well as the occasional closeted gay/bi guy who insists that they're only attracted to women because those uptight bitches ruined women for them so much that the only logical conclusion was to start sleeping with men instead. I knew a couple of guys like that, in fact. They're now quite happily out and feminist allies as they realised most of the things that MRAs see as legit problems are answered much more effectively with feminism instead (mothers being preferred for child custody, male victims of domestic abuse or rape being ignored, etc).

He's as Australian or more Australian than ACDC, Mel Gibson, Russell Crowe, Split Enz/Crowded House, and pavlovas, all of which Australians consider incredibly Australian until they do things we don't like, in which case they are filthy Scots/Yanks/Kiwis.

College Slice

quote:

For the past 6 months, my best friend has maintained an Excel doc on his laptop to keep track of every time he masturbated. He did this at the insistence of his girlfriend.

When he confided this to me I couldn't believe it. But apparently 7 months prior she had caught him masturbating in his kitchen (which is weird I know) and got very angry and disturbed. She insisted that he keep a log of every time he masturbated.

So for 6 months he's had an Excel doc listing every time he masturbates. It had the following columns: Date, Time, Location, What I Masturbated To (if online pornography, he had to include a hyperlink to the video), and Notes.

So the other day my friend left his laptop open. He left, went out to get beer. I saw the Excel logo on the bottom of his screen and I wondered if it was his legendary Masturbation Log. It was. I had to peek!

Then I go the idea to prank him. I knew his girlfriend reviewed the log at the end of every week. So I scrolled up a bit to make some edits to his entries from a few days ago, to make it look like he masturbated to some weird rear end poo poo.

Here are a few of the entries I inserted:
What I Masturbated To: Your friend Ashley's facebook album of her at that beach in Mexico. (Included a URL for the album.)
Notes: She's very sexy. I imagine her often when we make love.

What I Masturbated To: Youtube video of a mouse caught in a glue trap. (Included url to vid)
Notes: Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

What I Masturbated To: Imagined what it would be like to have sex with a pig in a factory farm.
Notes: First time fantasizing about beastiality, I am into it.

What I Masturbated To: (Just a link to a gay porn video, something with "Cock" in the title)
Notes: Very nice.

And a few more things like that. Saved the doc.

So I thought it was a pretty funny prank. Well...turns out he never noticed the entries, she saw them, and she 100% thought that he entered them. Apparently she absolutely refused to believe somebody pranked him and she was completely disgusted. Crying and shouting, I hear. She thinks he's a complete pervo.

She broke up with him.

My friend is furious. But he has no idea it was me who did it. He constantly leaves his laptop open, he has a lot of people over, the entries were from earlier in the week.

I don't think he suspects me. But he's really angry and also down in the dumps about it. His now ex-girlfriend told her friends about his "sick fetishes" and obviously the rumors are starting to spread.
I want to admit it was a prank, but I won't. I feel so awful.

I am thinking of sending an anonymous email to her telling her it was a prank, but not revealing my identity.
