Absolute bollocks! You know and I know a pizza isn't a pizza without pepperoni and an olive and you're telling me that the ancient Greeks were importing Pepperoni from America 7000 years before Columbus dared to venture across the Atlantic. I think you're making that up

Just kidding

Seriously, really? Not just flatbread baked on a stone with some spilt stuff on it?

Well isn’t that what pizza is, just flatbread with some stuff on it?

 

[Dr_Feelgoood212]

So it seems you are right Still without Pepperoni it's not really a pizza

Here’s a real plot twist… Hawaiian pizza (pineapple and ham) was invented by a Canadian!
Ham… pepperoni… close enough

Pizza actually dates back before 5000BC. Some say Greece others say Italy.

5000BCE? Pretty much pre-everything except hunting and gathering.

Pre-everything except war and pizza apparently

Aaaaand....caught up. But since I'm finishing off a double shift and will be sleeping till I come back to work, chances of getting behind are good. LOL!

Pineapple and ham? Isn't that a pudding?

If it’s on something similar to flatbread then it’s a pizza

Everyone says they invented pizza. Hungarians will tell you lángos is the original pizza. Scots invented the deep-fried pizza.

 

[Christine]

Scots invented the deep-fried pizza.

That is beyond contestation. It is also beyond belief. I had some the other week when we were up, tasty too

 

[JJR58]

I’m rather hungry right now with all the food talk.

Hope we get an update from @dukeorock’s gig last night.

 

[GonePlaid]

Now there's a well shaped bottle of preservatives...

Uh,huh, but the "voice"- like fingernails on a blackboard.

Hope we get an update from @dukeorock’s gig last night.

Just finished making some coffee! It went really well, overall! Had a couple flubs, but only one that was truly bad to me...no one seemed to notice so it’s all good. These guys are all only into music up until about 1966, including the 16 year old kid! Though we did original stuff, the covers were mostly Magic Sam, Freddie King, Clarence Carter (for ‘modern’ stuff!), etc. Blues and soul. The crowd really seemed to love it, which was cool. McKinley played a TK Smith guitar. Amazing custom builder in California

McKinley apprenticed at TK’s shop last summer. Instead of getting paid, he got free room and board and a guitar, including custom pg with his name on it. Not a bad deal for a 15 year old! The other guitar he brought was a Gibson Barney Kessel model.

He’s an amazing young talent, this kid. Having your dads full support is terrific. Having your dad be one of the best roots drummers alive is nice too! When they record, this kid plays everything but the drums (guitar, bass, B3 and piano) AND he does the engineering! Records everything to 1/4” 8 track, then transfers to ProTools for mixing. Incredible

The perils of dyslexia Spell check usually picks these things up for me

Yes, but spell check doesn't recognize "Poutine". And if the misspelled version is a real word, it lets it go. BIG help!

 

[GonePlaid]

I'm just creating trouble.

YOU!?!?

 

[GonePlaid]

Yes, how's this? The TB+s that came standard are great, better than TBird TB+s IMHO.
Absolutely, I am so tired of pea brains telling me Gibsons are overpriced compared to Fenders. Fenders are essentially two sticks bolted together.

Hey! That's a stick and a plank!

It's a contatant (Constant, Yes I know but that's what I typed) pain, the spell check does help but I try my best to check things too but yes it's nowhere near perfect. I'm a lot better than I used to be but being dyslexic isn't a bonus for proof reading.

Another thing I do is put letters from the next word into the current word, I can't always tell left from right unless I think about it which can cause some serious embarrassment Basically I'm a badly flawed person

Not a pepperoni fan. Spicy Italian sausage? That'll work!

I've never learned to type so it's hunt and peck for me. Usually goes: type, type (crap), backspace, type type type(sh!t) backspace,etc.Proofread, fix(fvck!)type type, wheew!
