Even Pretty Girls Have Problems

I do miss Pizza Street, but cringe at the thought of how high the prices must be by now, as it was only $3.99 back in the day, and I'm sure it's gone up 1000% since then...; January 19, 2013 at 7:44 PM
Kal said...: So what you are saying is that it's a dump.; January 19, 2013 at 9:13 PM
The Flying Dachshund said...: Not a dump... I just know when I had left the price had jumped almost a dollar (I think the last time I went there was a month before I had left the MO area), and now it's been 6 years... And I know how all businesses are all "it costs SOOOOO much for gas and we have to raise our prices to compensate, even though we don't lower them when gas costs much less than on the months where it's super high"... I actually really loved Pizza Street... It wasn't gourmet pizza, of course, but it was rather tasty for (at least the time I went there) a really nice price... I don't think I'd call it a dump for charging so little... It is, after all, a pizza buffet and probably was trying to compete with Feces... I mean Cici's Pizza...; January 20, 2013 at 7:39 PM
Kal said...: You sound like a man who takes his pizza seriously. I would travel naked through the snow for a Triffons Pizza from my childhood or Angelos in University.; January 21, 2013 at 12:03 AM
The Flying Dachshund said...: Any place that has a cheeseburger pizza that tastes like a double cheeseburger from McDonald's without that "I just ate a double cheeseburger from McDonald's" feeling, is awesome to me!!

I REALLY want to go back in time to go to Showbiz Pizza again... Just being able to see videos of the Rock-afire Explosion band makes me realize how much it stinks that they got rid of the original programmer to save money and lost the characters in exchange for that stupid rat (Chuck E. Cheese).; January 21, 2013 at 7:24 PM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
