Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

You know, there are some organizations that just can't - or won't - learn until something forces them to at least change the appearance of how they operate. I once worked in an office where there was one guy who would make verbal attacks of a sexual nature on any woman who he felt threatened his male superiority. Women in the office complained. At one point the organization was peer reviewed and the reviewers said he was a lawsuit just waiting to happen. They did nothing and, finally, he left on his own.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Thank you, Jesse. I'll go with cut and color. I've just been craving a mani-pedi because sandal season is here, but I can do that at home.

Best of luck, le nubian!! Sounds like a tricky situation and I'm glad you are there to advocate for your students.

There's nothing wrong with ham and pineapple on a pizza.

You are a darling human being, but in this, sadly, you are wrong like a wrong thing.

Ham, yes, pineapple, never.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I tried pineapple on pizza and I liked it! Eggplant, though? Controversial! By which I mean, nonono.

The Catholic Church upsets me. Those kids deserve commendation, not only for not simply accepting what they were told, but for standing up for what they knew was right. I loved the girl who said, paraphrasing, We figured out why only seniors were given this lecture; we'll be able to vote soon!

I don't think eggplant is a normal pizza topping, but it is a yummy one.

I'm against pineapple on pizza. It's great in salsa, fruit cocktail, and upside-down cake, but conflicts with all the savory ingredients for me. Tomato sauce is all the sweetness I can handle in that context.

I don't order pineapple on pizza, but I've had it with ham and enjoyed it. To my surprise.

Hmmm, I haven't had bacon or Canadian bacon on pizza in while. Should rectify that.

And even then a tomato sauce should err on the side of garlicky/oreganoy, not sugary. Unfortunately, Utah prefers sweet sauces and you have to track down someplace that actually purports to supply New York style pizza to get a good garlicky sauce.

Boy, I miss the pizza of my youth.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm pretty live and let live about pizza toppings. Pineapple is one of the few fruits that still has texture after baking.

We ordered pizza delivery last night. Coco got out while I was paying the delivery guy. Luckily, Coco decided to hang out under one of the bushes that line our sidewalk, and our nephew was around with a flashlight strong enough to find a black cat at dusk. So Coco got another stern lecture about how he's an indoor kitty (he keeps trying to escape, but this is the first time he's succeeded), which he of course will ignore.
