Onion is one of the most vile tasting vegetables in existence :P

Even worse, people seem obsessed with shoving them in everything and it takes barely any to screw up the entire foodstuff, as the junk is not only bad tasting but strong. If I could vote only one vegetable out of existence, it would be onion.

... that said, it is fairly obvious a great swath of our species has malformed tastebuds that enjoy the gunk, so... that's okay, I guess. For them. Just don't come at me with it unless you want me to come at you with the pizza cutting knife.

It's too bad this is just toppings and not actual pizza format (pan crust, thin crust, deep dish, flatbeard, etc...) Then we could watch East Coasters maintain their delusional stance that thin crust is a superior form of pizza.
Hold up, now. It's not really east coasters, exactly. More central/north east, as there's still plenty of support for the thicker crusts in the south east. Even moreso than for thin crust, in a number of places.

Though yeah, definitely more toppings. It's not exactly unusual for me to double the overall thickness of a pizza once I start adding stuff to it. If it ain't hard for the toppings to stay on, there ain't enough yet.

I think you actually can, it's just... not really legal :P

Yeeaaah, it's got some cake. Want to say that bit is about the worst of it, though. Haven't actually played, but there's a full LP or two flapping about.

Also I'm preeeetty sure they've got that online. Don't recall if there's any actually animated, but, uh. Yeah.

For the record, I have tried whipped cream and chocolate chips on a pizza.
Any good? I'd expect the chocolate to mess it up, honestly... chocolate doesn't tend to go well with cheese, in my experience. Don't think I've tried any chocolate and your average pizza sauce. Whipped cream'd probably be fiiiine, though.

Now, mind you, a pizza made without the normal cheese/sauce would probably be a'ight. Dessert pizzas are a thing, and they can be pretty damn good.

So the question is, is the love of ham because of pepperoni or because of other sorts of ham?

Honestly couldn't tell you. The saying's older than I am. Pretty sure it's older than my grandparents, really.

Google seems to suggest it's less a matter of insanity and more a matter of th'fact that when the saying was coined the natives leaving their reservation was literally illegal, at least insofar as origins go. The actual meaning/use is a bit different, and to an extent only tangentially related to insanity; more about disruption and doing things against a particular group the individual is nominally part of's (the party/polity, in terms of politics) interests. It rarely is used to actually imply that the person being labeled such is of any particular native descent.

E: Mind you, given the origin, it is something of a mistake to use it, but it's also something that could very easily slip in just because it's part of the person's normal dialect. Which it kinda' is for at least some parts of the country.

Aha. Though... maybe set boiled egg to just egg? I make a pretty mean breakfast pizza, which is usually just a normal pizza with scrambled eggs and bacon (and more cheese) added. And occasionally hashbrowns, too. Depends on what's available~

E: Actually, I just realized I've never tried topping a pizza with eggy rice. I think I just figured out what I'm eating for dinner...

Alas, it is too late for me, but cheers none the less :3

Also yeah, donuts! Plain glazed probably works best, since the fancier they get the easier it is for the taste to get funky. You cut them longways, so you've got two bits that are thinner than a full donut, and then stick them on top of (often leftover) pizza and warm 'em up. Best results when the slices are large enough to take one donut half per, but you can easily pare things down to fit whatever. Is really, really good.

E: oh wait, it reset. Now it's just unfortunate there's only four choices to be made :P

Now you're just making things up. Gary Johnson is even more fictional than Thrawn.

*grumbles vaguely* I didn't pick a particular cheese, due to the fact that my preferred cheese for pizzas is "More." Type doesn't matter, and I actually tend to prefer to add different kinds if they're available. It just needs more. I've never seen a pizza I didn't hand cook that had enough cheese on it. Not even straight up cheese pizzas.

Also, ranch dressing, (leftover) macaroni and cheese, and donuts are all amazing toppings as well, but not on the list. Quite a few general spices missing, really. I've long liked a good sprinkling of lemon pepper (which is seasoned black pepper, not even mentioned in the rules), particularly on melty pizza (i.e. microwaved ones, which come out with a consistency of melted cheese if you don't overcook it), ferex.

E: Also, other types of fowl are not represented. Poor turkeys. Poor (delicious) turkey bacon. Or soy products! Bacon bits are usually not actually made out of meat, ferex.

Not to be confused with the other Jacob's ladder.

Or the original Jacob's Ladder.
Or the fairly common toy.

It's also apparently a form of genital piercing. Thank you, wikipedia, I don't think I actually wanted to know that.

... though yeah, electrocuted for non-fatal shocks is. Very common? I'm pretty sure most english speakers wouldn't be particularly confused by that usage. Really, I'd guess that most would be more confused by using it strictly for fatal shocks than they would it being used more loosely.

... they didn't give you those little sunglasses things? Always seemed to have the thin plastic whatsits when I've gone in for dilation and they. Well, are better than nothing. Mostly.

The missile corset wasn't actually in the design file I was looking at, and the jester bit was the laser bra, ha, but yeah, after doing a quick check on the current git they were definitely modded in. There's no gender specific clothing in the code. Actually looking at it a bit more, it looks a lot like the Fits tag that would govern that sort of thing isn't even usable for scale 0 actors. Seems like it may be strictly a mech thing.

I fear your dreams of crossdressing shenanigans would require more coding than the current system has, EJ.

It was a US police spokesman making the panda claim. Those seem to have trouble telling the difference between a lot of things >_>

Just... given what you've shared previously, C, you're really not within the confines of a semi-normal family. Your parents have been, at the last, outright abusive -- if you were living in a better area, they would have almost certainly been in jail a long time ago -- and there's nothing even remotely normal about that. They are, in fact, terrible people, and you've not been in an even remotely normal situation.

That doesn't mean they don't have their good moments or whathaveyou, no, but the net is... almost certainly negative. Understand where you're coming from, though. For the longest time, I tended to describe my father as "a good person, when he's sober". It took a while and a good deal of (badly needed) separation before it really internalized that he was still an abusive fucking alcoholic, the good points didn't even remotely make up for the bad, and that no amount of rationalization would change the fact that he was not someone I (or anyone else, really) needed to be around. The latter in particular was always something that proximity really seemed to encourage -- there's definitely a degree of urge to look positively on people you're forced to be around regularly, even if that urge is frankly self-destructive (in the sense that it reduces the motivation to get the hell away).

... also, your earlier post, the energy and whatnot. Pretty much textbook clinical depression :(

Not sure you can really do anything about it in your situation, though, besides soldier through until you can get away from your incredibly toxic living situation, start making a decent one for yourself, and hopefully either see it pass by naturally as the environmental stressors change in nature/go away or at least be able to safely seek proper aid for it.

... in any case, best of luck and all that. Know it only helps so much when you've basically just got that urge to pass out and sleep half the time, but hopefully the well wishes'll help at least some.
