Can I pit old people?

On a white pie? No. Then it wouldn’t be a white pie any more.

What, and give up show business?

DVDforum is the official organisation behind the format. They license the logo among many other things. They claim that DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc. I know that there’s a bit of retconning going on, since the acronym existed before the explanation but all that happened before DVD was a common format, i.e. mid 90’s.

Lucas didn’t name Star Wars episode 4 until the re-release. Having been there in '77, I kinda resent that. However, official canon know says that StarWars '77 is Episode 4 A New Hope.

They’ve claimed a lot of things, but when first announcing the format, they said that DVD just stood for DVD. The acronyms came later.

Singing in the Drain?

I missed the edit window.

To clarify, a pie without sauce is commonly available and is called a “white pie”. It is made with ricotta cheese and basil only.

If you order a “regular” cheese pie and you don’t want sauce, you have to specify that you don’t want sauce.

Look, I lived there nearly my entire life. Almost 40 years. It ain’t “very common”, regardless of what you claim.

I’m never ordering pizza in the US - it’s way too complicated.

Word to the wise: when ordering the “protein from the sea,” be very specific about what kind of protein you want.

Trust me on this.

Me: “Id like a large order of onion rings.”
Waiter: “We only have one size.”
Me: “Then Id like to have a small order.”

I guess its not the wittiest answer ever but it kinda felt good.
If theres only one size then why not just give that to me instead of pointing out my error?

And also whats with old people and vegetables.
I always end up behind some old battlewagon trying to get 50cents back because thoose tomatoes were dutch and not the more expensive spanish, and the teller charged for the spanish and really thoose are the dutch and she should really be more careful in the future because obviously thoose are the dutch and is the girl at the check out new since she cant tell? While all the rest of us silently wait…

Because I guarantee you they got sick of the following conversation, which inevitably ensued several times a day:

Customer: “No, I ordered a large.”
Waiter: “We only have one size.”
Customer: “Well, why didn’t you tell me that when I ordered them?”

:smack:

I prefer to talk to the travel agent about Italy, so I can shout “Get off Milan!”

Between Netflix, iTunes, OnDemand, and all the other stuff out there, this old lady hasn’t been to a movie rental store in over a year! (Maybe longer, the memory is going, dontcha know.)

I know stupid customer questions are annoying, but the ability to get in person assistance (including for stupid questions) is what keeps some brick and mortar retailers in business and some service people employed.

So don’t be too hard on us old farts!

Oh, god–killing is too good for those people. I like the term battlewagon, but I think you meant battleaxe. :smiley:

I’m… a’hankering for a hunka cheese.

Now, see, when I worked retail back in the Dark Ages (the mid-90’s), I was thrilled to get exact change at certain times of day. Our manager was very stingy with the cash float, and the old lady who carefully counted out exact change was unwittingly replenishing the float. I much preferred that to the people who would come and buy a pack of cigarettes or a watermelon (let me tell you some time about the Guy Who Spoke No English who bought nothing but watermelons from us) and pay with a $50. Especially when you had $40 in your float, total.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Kind of like with films, no?

So, I have to specify that I want cheese on my large DVD if I’m in New Jersey? And I’m not allowed to pay with the exact change no matter where I am or what I just purchased? And I’m an angry senile etc., etc. old fool because I don’t know these things?

I worked approximately thirty years in the frequency control industry; I lost my job due to down sizing when I was 61. I’m now 68 and in the seven short years I’ve been out of my industry, the products and the technology have changed to such an extent I would be completely in over my head if I tried to discuss my old industry. The same is true in general about the entire electronics industry; you don’t stay current if you don’t make a real effort do so and you’re out of date in an astonishingly short time. Getting old sucks.

What’s a pizza with no cheese called? A sauce pizza?
