And the family keeps growing
Last night, the wife and I decided to order some pizza for dinner. 35 hungry minutes later, he arrived. I visually estimated him to be in his early 20's. I was watching for him, and I opened the door just as he was reaching for the doorbell.
Pizza Guy - Whoa, I guess I don't need to press that!
Me - Yeah, I was watching for you.
PG - Here's the receipt, if you could sign right here. (hands me receipt) So, is this a pretty quiet neighborhood?
Me - (kind of joking) You would think so.
PG - You mean it's not? It seems like it would be.
Me - Yeah, I was only kidding, I'm just socially inept and always try to come up with some sort of clever response to everything as to appear witty and charming. Besides, I didn't really expect you to follow up on it. It is generally pretty quiet around here.*
PG - It seems really nice around here. I hope to be able to live in a neighborhood like this someday. I'm so tired of living in dumps, crappy apartments, you know?
I don't even remember exactly how I responded to that, but let's just say lots of embracing and crying ensued. Long story short, the Phillips family is always ready to take on a challenge for a good cause. So we adopted the Pizza Guy. Pizza Guy Phillips. I felt it was my duty to give him all he hopes for, given that he continues to deliver us tasty tasty pizzas at the family discount rate.
Important Note: Is that the second post in a row that I've broken out the double tasty? Damn.So I just woke him up so that he could say hi to the internet. Say hi, Pizza Guy.
PG - hi internet
Good boy. Now go make your bed.

* Some of this response was internal, but I can't keep it straight sometimes.

Ok. A) that was a funny post, and pizza guy must have made quite an impression on you, and B) who is going to vote NO on that poll. Seriously, that was an odd question to use as a poll b/c no one is going to say no.
jasmine said:
yeah, i'm with mep...waiting on the meaning of the poll. i don't get it.
where's syar to fuck with it and vote no?
i hope pg isn't a an agent for the vole...

Pizza Guy Phillips - bet the dot-com is still available for that one. Is he going to be PGP, or PG? And I voted No on the poll. Now where's that cookie? Just kidding!
Also I've noticed MT lets you categorize posts, and this one is filed under Nonsense. I'm thinking if I switched to MT and used categories, I'd have to subdivide Nonsense because pretty much every single post would belong there. Seems like maybe this should concern and/or disturb me, then I think no, that's nonsense.

Jasmine, I think the poll is a reference to Michelle Wie turning pro and making millions of dollars.

I delivered pizza for about 5 years. I’ll never forget the time a gentleman opened the door and exclaimed loudly, “Hey everybody! It’s the pizza girl!!*” If only I had met the Phillips family first…
*it should be noted that I am notorious for making stuff up, however, in this instance, sadly, I am not. Even more sad is the fact that the gentleman internal recognized his error, but externally made no effort to correct it.

That's suh-weet. Lucky, lucky pizza guy.
RaJ said:
Jon. I'm thinking a good response would have been to kiss him, but I realize that might have been too conservative and still not have gotten his attention.
jasmine said:
thanks tayster. i should have known it was golf related. so slow on the uptake with the sports stuff.
go yankees!
jasmine said:
also, i think we all know the phillipses adopted pg to spare the wife another child birth and still give the boy a brother.
everybody wins.

hey, what happened to my earlier comment?
about how pgp matched pdp? something's janky here.
Glo said:
I'd take millions any way any time....even without any appreciable skill. I'm like that.
I said:
cadiz - Did you call my site janky? I'm not sure how I feel about that.
RaJ - I'm thinking that I will need to subdivide the category of nonsense, for that very reason.
jon - Too bad you didn't deliver here, man. We would have totally adopted you. In fact, we still will. As long as you bring your computer monitors and PS2.
mep and Jas - Tayster was right, it's about Michelle Wie. (See upcoming post.)
glo - I'd say being offered millions without any appreciable skill takes skill. Appreciable skill. 1 glorious conundrum indeed.

So alls he had to do to become a member of your family was bring pizza? What happens if I bring homemade cookies?
cadiz12 said:
no, your site itself isn't janky, but sometimes the system you use hiccups and forgets me and stuff. that's pretty trifling.

Jas : I'm supposed to mess up the poll? hell no, that was two years ago (me being 15) and if someone who offered me that much money said the offer still stands I'd STILL take it. sadly, no one has yet made that offer. YET. I mean, 17 year olds need millions too.
