I appreciate these threads so much because they bring to mind so many users from back in the day
Names from days gone by that I haven't thought about in a while
I think, "oh yeah, used to love reading their posts!"
 
It'd be really cool if there was a way to have a reunion of sorts for all older, more prolific posters on here. Alas, such a thing can never happen.
 
"End of Time" Top 50 Posters...

Again, (now that I have little time to post and think) - this is fascinating.

I think I have featured on that particular list on a few occasions over the past two years or so, which is very strange.

But, once again, thank you, @Doctor Q - this is fascinating to read.

Easy come, easy go...

That is the way of life, isn't it?
 
I'll have a Stella with a couple slices of a VPN-certified traditional Neapolitan pizza, please!

(For those who are unfamiliar with this, it is a pizza made in a specific way according to the strict rules set out by the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana Americas, a certification difficult to get. In the entire Washington, DC metropolitan area there are only five pizzerias honored with this certification. The pizza crust must be made of a certain type of flour, the tomatoes must be D.O.P. San Marzano and even the temperature of the oven has to be precise. A simple Margherita topped with tomato, bufala mozzarella and a few leaves of basil -- Mmmmmm!!!!!)

There was me thinking VPN was a Virtual Private Network!

I'm fine with Pizza Hut or Dominos
I'll even take Little Caesars

Hell, give me a couple of Blue Moons and you can make it DiGiorno or Red Baron
 
LOL, AFB!!!! Yeah, thought I'd better explain it...... Also noticed that auto-correct had fouled me up again, so took the opportunity to fix that, too!

When I'm not indulging in that treat, I'm perfectly happy with the close-by Papajohn's...... Used to have a Pizza Hut in the neighborhood but it's gone now.

When my wife and I lived in California in the late 90s Papa Johns was just becoming a thing on the West Coast. A new store opened in a city we frequently visited so we tried it.

Best damn pizza we'd ever had. So, great we thought. We will start going there.

The next time we got a crappy pizza. So, we explained that it was awful and they remade our order. Still bad.

So we just chalked it up to the newness of the chain and went back to Pizza Hut and Little Caesars.

A couple of years later we moved to Phoenix and a couple of years after that a Papa Johns opened in our neightborhood. So, what the hell we thought. We'll try it again. It's in a major market, a major city, and has had a few years to get it right now.

The pizza we ordered was garbage.

Unfortunately for PJ's, unless someone else is buying, we'll never consume their pizza again.

PS. Dominos is no better to us, although when T-Mobile was giving free Dominos pizza out it was at a price point we would accept. :D
