What an interesting question. I actually had to dig around a bit too find it, as I had forgotten what it was. Imagine my shock when I saw it was a response to a question on Islamic history šŸ˜ƒ .

## \*\*quote: Originally posted by shay519 Iā€™m right behind you Tretiak (so to speak) on the Bad Andy Good Pizza issue. At least the Little Caesar commercials (do they spell it differently?) made SOME sort of sense. What does bad puppetry have to do with pizza? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\*\* Let me begin by saying that I love the little neā€™er-do-well. Bad Andy wonderfully portrays the shadow within us all, the dark side of the psyche, that which we carefully hide away so as to not be thought of as less than a team player, nay, less than a useful component of society itself. By using the anthropomorphic form of a puppet, we are able to examine and accept this shadowy characteristic, and to laugh with gentle compassion in recognition of that which we own, yet rarely claim. Along with this masterful portrayal of healing integration, Dominoā€™s has also alluded subtly to that which is the very foundation of our society, i.e.: the degree to which we are of use is indeed, in the end, the sum of what we are. Though never overtly stated, itā€™s obvious upon examination that Bad Andy lives at the Domino store, and by extension we may infer that, as one employee lives there, so must all of the employees. Working as a team for the satisfaction and satiation of the desires of society as a whole. A veritable family of usefullness. And as is portrayed so wonderfully by the Bad (not so bad after all) Andy, all families have their own black sheep, their own ā€œBad Andysā€. And yet we love them still, for they are a part of us. Iā€™ve no doubt that, decades in the future, Dominoā€™s will be held up in reverence by sociologists and philosophers alike as the company which dared to show a vision of a more complete society, a more cohesive world, in which all that we are is not only accepted, but embraced. A world in which we look inwards, not to become more self-absorbed, but rather to hear the voice of connection to all of existence, and to turn our eyes outwards in the interest of doing the very most we can for others. Good Andy, Good Pizza. Indeed. Oh, and I find it vaguely creepy that I thought about a Dominoā€™s commercial for more than a minute or so. ---

Near as I can recall, [my first post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=877515#post877515) was placed in a fit of post-election fervor.

I came to the SDMB because I wanted to know what this message board thing was that was keeping Spider Woman busy and from having sex with me. My first post was menial and lack luster. Kinda like this one. First post was this, [sup] **Tenets of the Board** [/sup] lurker checking in I looked at the thread in the Pit that Spider Woman mentioned, and it mentions the Tenets of the board. There are some general guidelines listed there, but not as specific as the ones she mentions. Spider Woman introduced me to this site. Itā€™s pretty cool. ---

I have a dog who grew up in the South, as did her ancestors for many generations. I took her to Iowa for two years, and she loved the snow, loved the cold. Untilā€¦ the temp got down to about 5 degrees (that seemed to be the threshhold), when sheā€™d start getting ice built up between her toes. Once I had to carry her home (yeah, a little embarrassing, since she weighs about 70 lbs.). She never got frostbite, but she clearly had no idea what to do and no defenses for severe winters. _(Note: this was the second, AND FINAL, post in this thread.)_ ---

I have to retype it from scratch because it was lost in the WooLC. Here goes nothing: Fred Barnes has always struck me as one of the more sophist conservative commentators. Recently, he responded to criticism about his show featuring two moderates and one conservative by saying, ā€œItā€™s balanced. It has a conservative and two non-conservatives. If anything it leans to the left.ā€ Yeah, right Fred. That should be approximately what it was. Wish it was still with us :(.
