How to Analyze a New Discovery
Added 2025-06-09 07:00:02 +0000 UTCMy mother was a divorcée, raising three boys. She always put food on the table, but if you’ve raised (or been) a teenage boy, you know that the concept of “enough food” is theoretical at best. Anything remotely “yummy” that came into the house didn’t last long, and there was no guarantee that it would be replaced any time soon.
The situation was alleviated a bit when I got a job at the Pizza Hut in Sunnyside. They would make up a certain number of personal pan pizzas in advance for the lunch rush every day. Any that hadn’t been ordered by 8 p.m. would either get run through the oven and given to the crew, or just tossed. There were nights I came home from my shift with one personal pan pizza, and nights that I came home with five.
Either way, they got eaten.

If you want to have fun at a restaurant send your food back because it's too Dr. Peppery.

2025-06-10 09:09:14 +0000 UTCI recall hearing, I think on either QI or The Unbelievable Truth, that things known to raise blood pressure include licorice and pessimism. I hope Ric doesn't share your love of licorice or he's got a double whammy. Also, "Licorice and Pessimism" is a good name for a band, or maybe an album title.
