Edwardo's Deep Dish with Bacon, Garlic, Pepperoni, Sausage reminds me that with enough dairy, I'm lactose intolerant. I hurt. :)

We got a contract with them. Any large deep dish topped anyway you want it for $15.50 each. That includes tax, delivery, and tip

Over the year we buy a lot of pizza thanks to our size. Smart on a pizzeria making a deal with us. Given the students and employees we are probably 2000 ish strong.
That's a heck of a deal. I would've gotten quite fat in college with a deal like that lol

This...this is going to be my favorite thread. I got plenty of random shit in my noggin that will be said here eventually.


First off. Dreams in television and movies.

THEY FUCKING SUCK. I hate dream sequences they are just bad and lazy and dumb. Let's do something crazy and have it have no repercussions. I cannot name one good dream sequence (note movies and shows about dreams are exempt since they are focused on the dreams). Whenever I realize it is a dream sequence I just stop paying attention because everything in the dream is meaningless and has zero impact on the show.

Take the latest dream sequence I watched, it was on The Blacklist (good show so far for a bad guy of the week show). SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You've been warned. The main character chick finds out her husband has some false passports and a 9mm and a ton of cash and the gun is connected to a classified murder. So she has this dream where he finds out and starts killing her and then she wakes up. 5 minutes of show just wasted on bullshit, we already know she's scared of him and is paranoid about it, it is already shown in other more organic ways.

Now the show where I learned to hate dream sequences The Sopranos. I love the show but the dream episodes are just garbage. They are fucking bizzaro weird (which hell most mine are so props for authenticity) but here is an hour of just useless shit. There are better ways to show Tony is having problems with killing his friends (yeah yeah yeah spoilers but that show is now old so get over it)

In summary hollywood needs to kill dream sequences they are fucking terrible.

Chipotle burritos are better when you don't have 2 cunts in line in front of you ordering for 3 people each which cause Chipotle to run low on rice/beans/steak which causes them to build you a burrito that you could consume 3 times and still have room for some chips and guac.

On the same note.... if you go to Chipotle downtown during lunchtime with a piece of paper and try to order for more than just yourself, especially if you apparently have never been to a Chipotle since you are asking questions like "What kind of tortillas do you have? can you use regular ones?".... know that everyone else in the line wants to murder you.... There is a reason they allow you to call ahead and pickup or Order Online and pickup..... its so you don't get murdered.

I HATE writing shit in cards for people... especially at Christmas time because I have to do it 10+ times.

Just take your fucking gift card and shut up about personal messages in a damn piece of cardboard that cost ms $4 each.

Nope because it doesn't matter. That's the problem with dream sequences they are of zero consequence. Think of it this way imagine he has a dream (which he might have been awhile since I watched) were he kills Carmela. What does that change? Nothing, it is obvious in the later seasons their marriage is extremely strained and even in the early seasons it isn't in a good place.

Even the dream sequences in the show that are an episode long are unnecessary it is easy to assume he would have trouble killing his friends and even if you want to spell it out for the audience there are just better ways to do it.

Yeah, I hate that, too. Like anything I'm gonna write is going to hold a candle to a team of professional Hallmark writers. Just read the pre-printed shit and be happy.

To each his own. I'll agree the 'dream episode' was less than stellar, but the dream sequences done within regular episodes I felt were always well done.

Coincidentally, I was actually watching that episode of the Blacklist on Netflix when I read the post I responded to, and I thought that was a shit scene as well.
