My politically tone-deaf wife and son ordered Domino's pizzas

[rzemanfl]

in my absence. Sure enough, the damn things were sliced into perfect letter W's.

After my ranting which ranged from Ave Maria Law School to Walmart and the Outback Steakhouse, I don't think this will happen here again.

[RagingInMiami]

1. But Pizza Hut is much better, regardless of politics

I like their thin and crispy pizza.

[LittleClarkie]

8. Aw, no, man. The stuffed crust is the way to go.

I would eat just the crust. Mmmmm, cheezy.

[RagingInMiami]

16. I'm a fan of the old country pizza

Cracker thin pizza where the flavors shine through. The stuffed crust is way over-the-top.

[LittleClarkie]

32. The one that looks over the top to me is the cheezy nips crust

that has little nubbies all around the pizza that you can grab and eat.

Otherwise we'll have to agree to disagree. I love the crust. Atkins disaster.

[kestrel91316]

46. Papa John's has the BEST thin crust pizza on the planet, IMHO.

[RagingInMiami]

49. I haven't had them in years

But I like how they give you a pepperocini and garlic butter with your pizza.

[NaturalHigh]

48. Pizza Hut does terrible things to me.

Decency and dignity prevent me from being more specific. Anyway, I normally do Mazzio's.

[Nabia2004]

55. Not in my neighborhood - taste like frozen

The last Pizza Hut pizza I had taste and looked like the store bought frozen kind.

[RagingInMiami]

58. If it's that bad in your town

I hate to see how Dominos taste.

[Mythsaje]

2. Dominos pizza sucks...

All politics aside.

[rzemanfl]

6. There's that too.....n/t

[anditos]

3. Death before Domino's

nm

[annabanana]

24. heehee

Welcome to DU!:toast: It's always amusing to see what draws folks out of lurkerland...

[Earth_First]

4. Wait. Domino's Pizza slices their pizza in 'W' patterns...

for politically motivated purposes?

It may be the end of a late day after a glass of wine, is this humor?

[Nikki Stone 1]

5. My question exactly

??

[rzemanfl]

13. Folks at DU take things so seriously. Reminds me of my

infamous Shirley Booth/Hazel/domestic surveillance post.

[nofoil]

7. The "W" stands for

"W"hat?!!! You call THIS pizza?

[rzemanfl]

22. No, "WTF is in this?" n/t

[rzemanfl]

9. True humor. I, on the other hand, slice pizzas in V's for Victory. nt

[Gato Moteado]

11. you'd have to have escher cutting your pizzas

in order to get any amount of perfect Ws out of a circular pizza.

[rzemanfl]

18. Okay then, imperfect W's to go with really mediocre pizza. M.C.

Escher???

[bullwinkle428]

10. I hope Papa Murphy's doesn't have any Repuke ties...I love their pizza!

"Take and Bake!"

[renate]

57. I just figured out....

if you put the pizza on a cooling rack instead of leaving it on the tray to cool a little, the crust stays crispier and is much better.
We cook it on the tray for about 10 minutes, then slide it off and cook it on the rack till it's done, then use the tray to take it out, then put it on the cooling rack. Then back on the tray to cut it, so no extra mess besides the rack.

The cooling rack makes a big difference--hope this is useful to you!

[OffWithTheirHeads]

12. Good on you mate

Domino's is not allowed in my house! On the other hand, Neither is Nike, Wallmart and a host of others. They don't even TRY to fuck with me when it comes to buying blue. My entire family and extended family knows better. I get postal about this shit!

[ikojo]

14. I don't think Mr Monaghan owns Dominos anymore

but I do agree their pizzas do suck.

It's pizzaria Uno for moi! Four cheese Chicago style pizza not this thin stuff they sell in St Louis.

[democracyindanger]

31. Sold it in '98. nt

[Marie26]

42. Mellow Mushroom!

Though I think they're only in the South. Even the name is hippie - way better than that corporate Dominos that tries to brainwash people into liking "W".

[MazeRat7]

15. Dude... chill... it was pizza that your family wanted.

Granted Domino's is sucky pizza, but "sliced into W's ? And then you rag on your family ? Wow... take a vacation, a lude, or something.... As for rebuttal, you should provide photo documentation of said pizza so that we, the disbelieving public, can determine if each slice when removed and placed on a plate resembled a "W" or did it resemble the classic "triangular arch" generally associated with pizza. In other words, I'm calling bullshit on this post.... *grin.

MZr7

[rzemanfl]

19. Each two slices...work with me on this. n/t

[MazeRat7]

29. So your OP was BS ? The slices were not cut in the shape of W's ?

And too boot you ragged on your family about it ? Sorry but I think you need to apologize to your family and stop posting inaccurate caricatures of your personal life... unless of course you can provide the photo documentation that shows a slice shaped like a W and not a triangular arc? *grin.

Sorry to make you a target here..its not personal, but the level of BS and hysteria lately is getting a bit high for my taste.. I figured it was time to start calling folks on some of the more outrageous stuff and your pizza post definitely qualified. *grin... its all in good fun as they say, right ?

[rzemanfl]

33. I am deeply offended. You can do penance by reading this

thread in its entirety then posting an analysis of its political, social and historical underpinnings:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=4597380#4604221

[MazeRat7]

36. Oh I am so sorry I did not intend to offend, I will certainly do penance

per your suggestion of said thread right after you provide proof of the pizza slices shaped like W's. *wink

MZr7

[rzemanfl]

38. See the freakin shrimp pizza photo in this thread and cut me

some slack. I gotta go to bed. The Shirley Booth thread really is a trip, worth reading sometime.

[MazeRat7]

53. Ok then. and yes that is a pretty trippy thread... now get some sleep.

Later.

[tularetom]

17. I wouldn't order that cardboard crap

if their owner gave a bazillion dollars to Democrats and founded an atheists, agnostics and pagans town in Crawford TX.

[Meldread]

20. Good for you! Now all you have to do...

...is boycott all consumer goods, grow your own food, get off the power grid and become your own ISP! Then you never have to worry about things like this again!

[rzemanfl]

25. Wouldn't I have to develop my own operating system too? n/t

[InvisibleTouch]

45. I'm working on that, actually. ;)

Well, I don't know if I can manage the ISP, but the rest is certainly in the planning stages for me. :)

[Kerrytravelers]

21. I don't eat pizza too often. How do you cut a W in a round pizza?

[rzemanfl]

23. Lay two slices side by side and use your imagination. Sheesh,

everyone is so damn literal around here tonight.

[Kerrytravelers]

47. I'm sorry I'm so dumb. Please forgive me.

You came off kind of harsh. I don't order pizzas. How would I know? :7

[rzemanfl]

54. Sorry, didn't mean to sound harsh. It's just that everyone got so

into "those can't be W's."

[rzemanfl]

26. AT LEAST NO ONE NOMINATED THIS POST. n/t

[DemoTex]

27. Tom Monaghan, the founder of the Domino’s Pizza chain, is a nut.

But I think anyone can find a "W" in a round pizza pie cut eight ways. Know what I mean Vern-O?



Here, I see a "V" for victory! I also see a vague "W". I also see a yummy shrimp, tomato, and onion pizza pie.

[rzemanfl]

35. Mushrooms or black olives on that? n/t

[MissMarple]

28. Honey, you have nothing on this story.

I was gone for the day, a, probably quite nice, Republican candidate for our House district came by and chatted up hubby and the girlchild. He brought his "really cute" little dog. They are both politically tone deaf. They understand the big picture about George, but they don't get the voting for any Republicans is very bad right now. They both voted for this guy. We only have ONE Dem representing us in all of El Paso County. They could have voted for him. But, no, they voted for nice little retired military guy with the cute doggie. Our guy won anyway. But it was a major arrghhh... moment.

[Ignacio Upton]

30. He sold Domino's a while ago

nt.

[rzemanfl]

34. Yeah, but I think he left them the shitty recipe. n/t

[Endangered Specie]

37. Most commercial pizza gives me heartburn...

pass.

[tritsofme]

39. Any corporate pizza is crap.

You couldn't pay me to eat it.

One of the many benefits of living in Chicago.

[sheelz]

43. I miss Chicago pizza

and all the good food. Bring me home please, somebody...anybody.

[WePurrsevere]

40. FYI -Monaghan sold most of his interest off in '98 to Bain Capital. He now

only owns less then 1% (.8%), Bain Capital owns 45%... I believe the rest is individual stockholders.

According to OpenSecrets.org Bain Capital has donated mostly to Dems ( 88%) and not as much Republicans (12%) in the past. OTOH according to NewsMeat and BuyBlue Domino's CEO (Brandon) and Domino's itself donates almost totally to GOP. Now compare that to Yum! Brands, which own Pizza Hut (KFC, Taco Bell & Long John Silver's) donates 90% to GOP, 10% to Dems. Pizza Hut Franchise itself donated 100% to Republicans.

Personally I prefer the pizza from this one local pizza place. Over the years DH and I have had a lot of pizza from many different places and this place is *the* best. They also have this deep fried onion strip and jalapeno's dish that with the dip is pure bliss. B-)

[MissMarple]

41. We order local pizza. One place donates a % to the local schools.

The pizza's not too bad either. Chains are so...ubiquitous. ;)


Ohhh...I did spell check and I spelled "ubiquitous" correctly. :woohoo:

44. I do get Domino's sometimes but only because I am paid to do so.

I mystery shop and a competitor pizza shop assigns Domino's for area shoppers to evaluate. If I did not buy the pizza then someone else would to evaluate for the job. They, however, do not get any of my personal money. I only buy from them when a competitor is paying.

[progressivebydesign]

50. Round Table, Papa Murphy, or local joint... the way to go.

Haven't touched Domino's plastic cheese pizzas in 10 years.

[jab105]

52. I owed my students a pizza party because they got an A average on

a test (YEAH!!)...and I was going to go to Dominos...but instead, I got them the best pizza in town...I told the kids which kind of pizza I was getting and they were thrilled:)

[More Than A Feeling]

56. Ave Maria Law School once offered me a full scholarship

I didn't feel like specializing in fundamentalism.

[mountainvue]

59. What does Outback Steakhouse have to do with

Domino's? Do the fundies own them too?
