I remember hearing about this when it launched on some gadget blog or maybe a podcast. The conclusion drawn by the author was that it was a cool concept but wouldn't actually save you any time compared to just saving the pizza place's number in your phone.
Strong like an Amazon.

They misunderestimate my abhorrence at using the phone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a pizza ordering app on my phone. The magnet seems like it could be snappier--does it just get you your 'special'?
Which reminds me--I need to use the app on my phone to order a taxi for this afternoon. I like that I can do that, but the last two times I used it, they couldn't find me. I understand theoretically why they can't find the ER. I have no idea why the other guy couldn't find my apartment. It took him ten minutes to drive to my end of the block.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I gained a couple-few pounds after I discovered I could order pizza online.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Lee, if you're in Reno now, you should go take a picture of the Victorian hearse for Jilli! It's in the back room at the furniture/books/parasols/miscellaneous oddities store at 701 East 4th Street. And on the way there keep your eyes peeled for the distillery/bar and the retail consignment store with a giant picture window full of mannequin heads.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You are kind of assuming I am leaving the hotel.
I am kind of not.
No car, and this is where the spa is.

Well, phoo. I've got this whole list of places it would be excellent for Buffistas to hit up for a thrifting/weird-barhopping/bookstore orgy rampage. I suppose this just means you'll have to MAKE ANOTHER TRIP sometime. Can you stand to?
