Well... what box would you like your pizza to be in... and what shape should it be???

How should it be cut... maybe they can take your dodecagonal pizza and cut it up like so:

What about 4d pizza? Pizza in a shape that travels into the fourth dimension (eg. Klein bottle)
It passes through itself without passing through itself since it goes through the fourth dimension instead.

Screw that - I'd rather just eat the pizza than talk about quantum physics. Plus, if it passed through the fourth dimension - you might end up with a 3 week old pizza slice... or it might just turn into this:



Then you have to make the bloody thing all over again.

Eat my pants, you exporter-importer dude.

True fact, one of my parents went to high school with Matt Groening....I know all about the Simpcrotches, from the very beginning, and I don't need to hear any more from that gargoyle of misery that used to be a cartoon featuring some amusements.

Futurama's a better show.

Oh come on... Futurama was a different show. I wouldn't say better. The Simpsons managed to make 10 seasons before it went downhill. Futurama maybe had 3 before they started getting rather dumb. The one where Professor Farnsworth builds a 'what if' machine??? C'mon... that was a sad excuse to not make a cohesive episode.

They tried to redeem themselves with the 4 movies. The first one wasn't bad, but the other 3 were pretty atrocious.

Now that they've revived it for like the 3rd time, the episodes are just terrible.

PURELY terrible.

The nerdery is strong in this one.

I advise others to approach with caution.

And, yes, they're all dumb.  They're cartoons, ferchrissakes!  Stunted development, much?

You're the one who brought up Futurama...

Yes, they're cartoons, but they're also entertainment. So are ALL TV shows (apart from documentaries).

What's your point? Are you saying you don't watch TV at all?

There are some great TV shows - The Shield, Breaking Bad, Ted Lasso. There are some great documentaries as well. Idris Elba investigates the rampant knife crime in London.

Shocking, but brilliant watch.

Also, note how I never mentioned reality TV shows... so sh*t like this:


...can *** the hell off. I've maybe spent 10 minutes watching biggest loser back in the early 2000's when it first aired, got bored and haven't watched a minute of reality TV since.

Troglodyte... there are some fantastic TV shows that I bet you haven't seen.

Some are feel-good shows like Ted Lasso... others are quite informative about how heists were planned like 'The Helicopter heist'.

You need to watch more TV shows that aren't from 1950-something...

Ahem.  Sport.  Pool is a rewarding sport. 

After five, six hours under the lights, gambling and such (I would never....but I've heard of people who do), and playing with millimeters or precision while stalking the table.

Just because some douches treat it like a mere game doesn't mean it's any less physically or mentally demanding than any other sport.

Hell, I wear a sweatband on my head to keep from dripping sweat on the table.

Eh....he's been on LeTube forever.....he's not going anywhere.  Has a pretty good ear for rudimentary chord progressions (so do I, but I need to be at an instrument of some kind to play through them — can't reliably hear it in my inner ear, although I can sight-sing off a page reasonably well, know intervals and all that).

He does give great interviews with very famous musicians, and has access to master tapes for classic recordings that mere mortals just can't get.
