I don't think anyone besides the admin would even begin to have grounds to know. It'll happen when it happens.

The worst part about it is you can't really use the press-above-the-lip-to-supress-sneeze trick without pulling the mask off :-\

I propose the apex unholy pizza challenge:

Swedish pickled stank fish
Spanish maggot cheese
Japanese squid ink sauce
Sliced balut
Chinese 10,000 year old egg
southern chitterlings and pigs feet


I am open to additional suggestions.
If you're going to go pigs feet, you might as well go whole hog and just use pig's head. You can get that, too.

Your unholy pizza isn't going to be complete without a smattering of some sort of eyeball and something's dick and balls, anyway. Cow or horse is more western, I think tiger or rhino more eastern? If you're doing it, you might as well just use all of them! You could make a nice skull and crossbones topping pattern between a four set variety dong platter and the pig head.

Donut pizza isn't really an american thing, for what it's worth. I've never seen anyone except me eat any, which is both odd and disappointing, because it both works well and pizza is that thing you put basically anything on, so plenty of other people should have gotten around to trying it at some point, but... not so much.

At least I saw some cooking show display the greatness of BBQ sauce on pizza, so I'm pretty sure I'm not off track in regards to what's good on pizza. Incidentally sweet baby ray's is friggin' great on pizza, just throwing that out while I'm here.

... also it's not sugar we put on french toast (sugar goes more on toasted cheese sandwiches), it's syrup. Get it right!

One of the best pizzas I've ever had was a reheated pepperoni pizza topped with bog standard glazed donut. You slice the donut in half long ways (basically make it thinner), then stick it on top of the pizza and consume. It's delicious.

Eh, I just checked, it was only(?) about 56 carbs (i.e. most of a full meal for my diabetic grandfather), 470 calories, somewhere in that range. Definitely food, just... don't eat much else for a while. It's basically a full meal's worth of stuff-you-should-probably-be-eating-in-moderation.

Tasted okay, too, like said. Not great, but okay. I can see it being better with a better donut, uh, filling? It wasn't a particularly fancy donut.

Not nearly as good a use of a donut as using one as a pizza topping. That's still my number one nonstandard donut utilization.

You just got to harmonica harder, del. Those things can shred like crazy if you're workin' them right.

Not every state has the same laws! Though maybe these would be the sorts of officers who aren't as concerned with the letter.
I'm fairly sure basically no cops in any state actually care much about the letter of the law, these days, so it probably doesn't make much of a difference.

Anyway, so far as payment or placement, deshitis is just writing a check with his mouth that hasn't actually passed the legislature or anything. Until that happens, the answer to any question like that is "No one bloody knows, especially the asshat in the governor's office".

The waffledonut sandwich (a donut put between a couple eggos) was only okay. Not bad, but not particularly impressive, either. Alas...

You could go nergalite instead, then you'd just need like a bronze spear or somethin' to be on theme.

... it'd fit a lot better, too, incidentally; Nergal was a historically worshipped god of, among other things, pestilence, war, and the destructive heat of summer (i.e. covid, military fetishism, and global warming), as opposed to a fictional one primarily of disease. If there actually was a runaway cult of Nergal in the modern era, it could comfortably look a hell of a lot like the US conservative movements.

At one point, I could manage Copland's Simple Gifts on piano!

... that was pretty much it, though. Never put the time in after learning a bit in school to really gain much actual proficiency. I got a decent electronic keyboard in the other room, if I ever get around to mustering the gumption to relearn.

If you count "nearest available surface" as an instrument I'm pretty okay with impromptu percussion, though, generally. If you go further into whistling I'm... well, fairly mediocre, but did once whistle more or less nonstop for three hours straight.

Turns out there's whistling muscles and they can get sore. You don't notice that with normal whistling, but it's true.

Oh, and performance trick I learned from a pervert author, decades okay: If you're playing for a crowd and tapping your foot to keep time, tap with you heel. It'll move basically your entire body, makes for a more dynamic performance for audiences.

Well hey there QuaranTeen, guess what, it's QuaranTime!

You're going through the steps, right? Voluminous cursing, informing anyone relevant (school, work) you've probably either caught or are about to catch the plague and won't be back for a couple weeks at minimum, arranging for food and med drops for the stay-the-fuck-at-home-plaguerat period?

Here's hoping you and anyone you care about survives the plague without permanent damage (or at least if it is permanent, it's debilitating enough you qualify for disability payments without being suicidally miserable).

Yeah, LB's in Venezuela right now, which is currently in the process of like... actively collapsing as a state, or something like that. I could shit on the US all day long, but right now even it would be an upgrade from their present environs, nevermind Canada or whatever.

You know what we need? A God old fashioned alien invasion (a winable one of course). But even then I bet some fuckers would side with them if only to be eaten at last
Depends a lot on the invasion, yeah. If it's space capitalists looking to banana republic a planet, I'm not sure there'd really be much resistance to begin with ::)

Plenty of other stuff, too. Maybe jesus comes back with that alien armada revelations probably promises, turns out he was buddy cop with muhammad, krishna, and buddha the whole time and bam, you'd have like maybe a third (allowing for sectarian disagreement and whatnot!) of the planet roll over without hesitation.
