Warning : May contain more than your daily recommended allowance of randomness
The other day I was eating lunch at Larry’s Pizza, as I’m apt to do, and a waitress walked by with a “Fat Larry’s Supreme” pizza. Right after that, the manager walked out, and I wanted to ask him if he was Fat Larry…
I told this to a few friends, and one guy replied, “I think that’s the sort of question you have to expect as the manager of a restaurant.” I guess I should’ve asked him then… maybe next time… 🙂
Friends, Romans, countrymen! Lend me an ear!
It has come to my attention that the Larry’s Pizza in Monticello has closed down. While there could be many factors involved in one closing, I also learned that our local Larry’s Pizza is now closed on Mondays. Together, these signs appear ominous! I suspect economic problems. The recession is tough on a lot of people, including businesses.
We must not let our local Larry’s Pizza close! It is the best source for the legendary chicken-bacon-ranch pizza. It is also one of the favorite meeting locations for the Buffet o’ Blog staff.
We must join together to support our favorite pizza restaurant! Obviously extra trips to the buffet are necessary. Can we count on your support? Will you make the “sacrifice” of eating pizza more often, for the greater good? We must all do our part! Do not take this challenge lightly. Spread the word to all your friends who like pizza. Do what you can to save our best pizza eatery.
Word has it that the next irregularly scheduled Buffet o’ Blog leadership summit will be at the local Larry’s Pizza tomorrow (Wednesday) at noon. It may seem odd to some people to have such an important event at a pizza buffet, but it really makes a lot of sense (not that it has to, but it happens to). The pizza tastes great, and there’s an endless supply. That alone is worth the price of admission. That feature of the restaurant lends itself to our meeting’s agenda. I will explain. We’ll all eat lots of great pizza (like chicken-bacon-ranch and meat madness — mmm!) and drink plenty of sweet tea. Then as we become saturated (or even super-saturated) with the yummy goodness, we’ll need to sit around and rest for a while, which provides time for discussion. This is a good time for our brand of discussions, because everyone is happy from partaking in all that great food and beverage. Joy and randomness will flow freely.
So obviously it’s a great time, and the verbal discourse leads to future great content for the blog. It’s a win-win situation for all, really. So stop by if you get a chance. Guests and visitors are welcome.
This has been a Buffet o’ Blog public service announcement.
Thank you, drive thru…
The staff of Buffet o’ Blog are going to Larry’s Pizza tomorrow for lunch, so it’s guaranteed to be a good time. Yesterday we were discussing how great their pizza is and how easy it is to eat more food than normal. So our Senior Statistics Correspondent, Turtle Dundee, created a formula using simple math that explains why it’s okay to eat more than normal there. Here’s the computational sequence (don’t worry, it won’t give you a headache — it’s quite simple, really):
So even though we’re going to Larry’s tomorrow, I figure that’s really only 1.75 meals away. There’s lunch today, that’s a full meal. Then dinner tonight, eating a bit less than usual that’s .70 of a meal. Breakfast tomorrow is just a nibble, that’s .05 of a meal. Then for lunch tomorrow I’m 1.25 meals short, so that’s 2.25 meals for lunch. And since nobody wants to eat dinner after Larry’s, that puts me up to 3.25 meals for lunch.
That would actually make a good slogan for them: Larry’s Pizza — It’s 3.25 meals good.
That makes sense to me! For those of you who skipped over the numbers and don’t want to apply them in your head, I’ll take care of the math for you. If a normal serving size is 4 pieces (which seems low to me, but we’ll start with that), then 4 times 3.25 equals 13 pieces of pizza. If your normal serving size is 6 pieces, then applying that equation would result in 19.5 pieces of pizza, which is quite a haul for one meal!
Feel free to join us there for lunch tomorrow. I guarantee it’ll be a good time. If you’re wondering how to find us, just use these clues: 1) it’ll be all guys at one table; 2) the pizzas of choice will have lots of dead animals on them; 3) there will be randomness and laughing to overflow. Oh, and we’ll be the coolest people there. So you shouldn’t have any difficulty in recognizing us. (We don’t put our pictures on the blog because this site already exceeds the daily recommended coolness quotient, and that might put us over the top.)
