I'm still not entirely sure who he actually is. But when I was younger I just assumed he was only a joke.
He's a very famous and funny fellow, tall and slender and gawky, and umm... I had a massive Oost for both him and MTM when I was younger and watched the Dick Van Dyke show. His brother Jerry Van Dyke was on Coach. Dick was most recently seen on Diagnosis: Murder.

Ever seen Mary Poppins? That's the only thing I can think of right now that he was in, other than The Dick Van Dyke Show, but if you'd seen that you'd probably know who he was.
t edit: Oh! And Bye Bye Birdie.
I'm not sure what that is, Heather, but it sounds more like Policy than Lincoln-Douglas, which I did, ineptly.

-- The first cultural reference that I got on this page! Oh dear. And thank you, darlin'.
Yes, policy. 2 people teams. 8 min for case. 4 min for response. 2 total for prep and I can't remember how much for questioning.
Chimchimeny, chimchimineny, chim chim cheree...
I've never seen sweetcorn on pizza but there was a fashion a while ago for the most insane fusion-style "gourmet" pizzas imaginable, so we had to endure tandoori chicken pizzas, Thai beef pizzas, and so on. Now the big thing is for pizzas to be "authentic", so anything more than a drizzle of olive oil and a couple of anchovies will have the food police (con)descending in droves.
Some of the weird combos are good. Tandori chicken pizza is not bad, nor some of the feta combinations, nor the mexican pizzas. And the nice thing about the Pacific northwest is that they don't stop offering stuff just because it is out of style. So you can get Foccacio style pizza, and sicilian style and stuffed style, and weird combinations, and standard pizza all in the same place. Just a giant list of ingredients, and a choice of styles, and you put what you want on them. Tandoori chicken? Fajita beef? Artichokes, heart of palm? Sure you have those as a choice of ingredient. Classic peperoni , green peppers , olives ,sausage , mushrooms, anchoives? Any or all of the above too. Anything you can imagiine. Thin crust, sicilian (thick) crust, bread crust, stuffed crust - as you like. White pizza (no tomato sauce)? sure. Extra tomato sauce? sure. Which for me is the point of pizza. Pizza is the most customizable meal you can have out - leaving out buffets and places where you cook your own.
Gnnurgh. All this food talk, and I have a stomach bug. Skipping, skimming....
