Exactly.

They had reported it on the air.

:)-->

CNN, Reuters and Fox news all reported he'd died, but none had Vatican confirmation (no pun intended).

None. Best thing to do is check every report and what their sources are. I failed to do that this time, figuring no one would blunder on something this big. Me! And I'm in Florida! :)-->

There was an apparently incorrect report earlier that he had died. I started a thread, and Paw was kind enough to delete it at my request. I apologize for spreading the false alarm.

LG isn't saying that you or anyone here is intentionally lying. He's saying that whoever originated that information was intentionally lying.

The Pope was given his last rites this afternoon (American time). CNN

correct!

Agreed. Still a pizza All of those automatically disqualify an oven-baked, flat, usually circular bread covered with tomato sauce and cheese from qualifying any longer as a pizza. Marginal. One foot in the pizza door, one foot out. Look, aside from anchovies, make up your damn mind. If you want fish, order shrimp. You want fish? Order fish. But stop polluting pizza with this carp! ALL MEATS ARE DONE IN ETHNIC STYLES. These people are making my case for me! Although I think there is legal precedent for a kebab exception. Okay, that's not a pizza either. That's a hot open sandwich. Dude, cool, but not a pizza. Duh!

I was hoping to get a nurse to play her. Alas, neither happened. "I was the next man."

Dude, I don't care if you call it filet mignon: it's not filet mignon, and it's not a pizza, solely by virtue of it having a pineapple on it. If you try to present me with contradictory information on this, I will have no choice but to DODGE. Dodge, distract, evade, avoid, anything but falsely admit the pizza is a pizza. THERE! ARE! FOUR! LIGHTS!!!! I WILL NOT CAPITULATE!!

Hey Roomie! Guys, I'm afraid I will not be able to attend. I'm bummed, but just can't do it. I will try to make it to Chicago sometime in the next couple of months, though, just for kicks.

and it usually involves an unimaginably hot looking Rebecca DeMornay. Sighhhhhhh. Okay, I'm better now. Risky Business New quote: "I was the next man."

Oh, you were defending pineapples? My bad. I thought you were defending crap. :)--> I will kiss a lady even after she's had pineapple on bread, mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce. No problem. She just hasn't eaten a pizza, that's all. She's eaten something. She may have enjoyed it, and that's all well and good. But it wasn't a pizza.

Thomas, you poor, sad man... I don't care HOW many people think crap on pizza is acceptable. The moment you put crap on a pizza, it is no longer a pizza. Look, if you enjoy it, that's your prerogative. Just don't kiss anyone after lunch.

R2 is not a problem: who understands anything he says anyway? Having Anakin be 3P0's "father" was too silly for words. A nine year old programs a droid fluent in thousands(?) or languages? Hell OOOO! But I'm okay with Chewie showing up. After all, Ben Kenobi did seem to go straight to him at Mos Eisley in Ep 4.

Some things seem rather inconsistent between the first trilogy and the current one. Will Amidala survive? Don't know. She should, according to the snippet Steve! is quoting. But there are other things that don't make sense either. Kenobi told Luke that his father was already quite a pilot when they met. I doubt the lucky fluke at the end of Phantom Menace makes a 10-year-old slave who's never flown anything before "quite a pilot." "Your father's lightsabre. He wanted you to have it when you were old enough." Will that quote pan out? I doubt it, myself. Ah, who knows. I'm still trying to figure out how hiding Luke on Tatooine with the same surname is an effective way of keeping Vader from finding him. :)-->

Can we agree on certain ground rules, here? If I put hydrochloric acid on a pizza, is it still a pizza? If I put crap on a pizza, is it still a pizza? If I put sausage on a pizza, is it still a pizza? If I put pepperoni on a pizza, is it still a pizza? Okay, no on the first two, yes on the second two, right? Okay, so there IS a line. Can't deny it; you've already admitted it. Now we must determine what goes on what side of the line. Mushrooms? That goes on the sausage and pepperoni side of the line. Shoe leather? That goes on the acid and crap side. Pineapple? Definitely on the shoe leather/acid/crap side of the line. That's all I'm saying. But I am saying it.

Yessir. Did I do that one already?
