As a Jew, wouldn’t he be having some Chinese?

I worked a small-ish local pizza chain for a while when I was younger and we had a similar promotion. If someone had a birthday where we were guaranteed to be closed, we would let them use the coupon on any other day instead

Cheese pizza is stupid. I'll never understand it. Pizza is better with other toppings. If anything, overdo the sauce, underdo the cheese, and def add meat and olives.

underdo the cheese

You monster, everything else you said was accurate though

Lowest common denominator. Lots of people don't like meat or olives.

I like meat but I don't eat processed meat, everything on pizza is highly processed except plain ground beef, and that's gross on pizza.

It wasn’t his birthday either. They just celebrate it then because of all the pagan holdiays leaving them out. (Yule… Saturnalia, bacchanalia.)

Humans have pretty much always done something around the winter solstice. Historically, part of it was there really wasn’t much else to do.

Most work could only be done with light. The shortest day of the year had little light and in any case mostly they were just waiting for spring to come while maintaining farms and shit. Also in the north they were kinda sorta trying to stay indoors and out of the frooking cold.

It amazes me how many people still think Jesus was born 25th December. I always hear it on the radio "happy birthday Jesus" and I just think, how stupid are you?

So. What’re you up to today?
