I just ordered pizza with my unemployment money!!!

[kentauros]

Like I haven't been doing that already for the past year :P

Let's see, large Vegetarian with a coupon for a free 2-topping medium and a piece of tira misu. With tip, it should come to an even $31.00.

I know y'all don't care, but if I posted this in GD it'd turn into a massive flame-war. We're not supposed to be buying a single grain of junk food while on the cheapo's dime

[MorningGlow]

1. Deadbeat! Layabout!

What's next, smokes and beer? :P

Tiramisu... :9 :9 :9

8. I will be having beer.

I've five different types to choose from:

Mythos
Rio Blanco Pale Ale (brewed in Texas by Real Ale Brewing)
Baltika 5, 6, 7 (one bottle of each)

I'll probably pick the Mythos, Greek beer

[old mark]

2. Where do you live - that's about $10 more than it would be here,

although I'm not figuring in the TiraMisu...

6. I live in Houston.

And I probably could get it for less somewhere else, but I like their quality. I know it's a chain (Sarpino's) but New York Pizzeria's quality has gone downhill for the last few years, like they're using cheaper ingredients. I'm also too far away from the best pizza place in town, Star Pizza.

[old mark]

42. Yeah, we used to really like a local place, but he evidently changed his

ingredients as costs went up...we found several others that are much better, though a little more...
not much use buying a lousy pizza...

[Curmudgeoness]

3. OMG, how many meals you could have cooked yourself with that

money!!! Shame on you. And I am sure you are just sitting around all day waiting until your unemployment runs out before you look for a job. You have all that free time. Tsk tsk. Flame to you, honey.

[kentauros]

5. Thanks to so much ozone in the air today,

I've been coughing so much I didn't have the energy to cook in this hot apartment ;)

I'd like to make my olive-loaf again, but I'll have to wait another day for that. I've got an interview tomorrow, so best not to overwork myself tonight :)

[Curmudgeoness]

9. Well, best of luck tomorrow. And hope you know

I was pulling your chain.

[kentauros]

10. I know you were,

and thanks :D

I was told by my contractor that when the client gets to this point, actually asking people to come in for interviews, that they will likely hire, too. So, I'll make a good impression for them :)

[Gormy Cuss]

4. Get pizza for free.

Post nekkid pictures of yourself here, preferably with Olive Garden as a backdrop/
That ought to do it.
:P


I hope you enjoy that pizza.

[kentauros]

7. Do I have to bathe in a giant bowl of cornflakes in human milk, too?

Oh, and some human cheese for dessert :P


It should be good. They always are :D

[rug]

11. I'll buy you pizza for a week if you post this in GD.

[kentauros]

14. You'd get off easy

because this will last me another couple of days. You'd only have to buy me two more pizzas :D

[rug]

32. Where should I send the pizza?

:)

[kentauros]

35. Oh, don't worry about it.

Maybe you can just get a free one sometime and remember this and the GD-thread :D

[flvegan]

12. Come on, you can't cheat GD out on this one.

You must!

[kentauros]

15. You know it'll just boomerang back here though, right?

;)

[flvegan]

18. But if we only get 20 minutes of glory, it will be so worth it!

[kentauros]

20. Okay, I'll give it a try.

Should I mention it's a cross-post or not?

[flvegan]

23. Well done!

[MiddleFingerMom]

13. But change what you're buying to...

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
...a slice and a 12-pack.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
...of REALLY expensive beer.
.
.

[kentauros]

16. A 12-pack of Chimay would cost several times the price of the pizza!

:evilgrin:

[Yavin4]

17. Congrats! You're Stimulating The Economy!!

Your $31 will be used by the chain to pay their employees, pay rent, pay for supplies, and repay bank loans.

In turn, their employees will spend that money going out to the movies or buying clothes.

The rent will be used by the building owner to pay property taxes to the state which pays public employees.

The pizza suppliers will pay their employees, rent, and bank loans.

The banks will have more money to lend out to other businesses.


Now, if you didn't order out, all of those people would not be making any money tonight.


Wow, kentauros, you've done more for the economy in one order than the Bush admin. did in 8 years.

[kentauros]

19. And when the Bush admin. gave out rebate checks

I paid down my debt, so even less impact on the economy ;)

[kentauros]

21. Okay, this deadbeat just posted to GD at 08:08pm

Let's see what happens... :o

[mikeSchmuckabee]

22. I hope you saved enough to buy a lottery ticket.

[kentauros]

24. I paid with my debit card

because my UI is now direct-deposit. But I do have a few bucks in my wallet. After my interview, I'll remember to get a ticket :)

Most of them in GD seem to like my post, too.

[flvegan]

25. GD must have gotten into the good stuff tonight.

ANY other day and that would have been flames, tears and Deleted messages.

[kentauros]

28. A coupld have corrected me that the other thread was on food-stamps

and not UI. But considering how many have asked if I bought pot, too, I'd guess more than a couple are smoking as we speak!

[Rosie1223]

29. Kick it again in the morning.

Different crowd.

[flvegan]

30. I can promise you that!

[kentauros]

31. And I probably won't see it until late afternoon!

It will be interesting to see the de-evolution of it :D

[applegrove]

26. You must remember to gain alot of weight and get sick often so you can use medicaid a lot.

[kentauros]

27. The weight-gain portion was taken care of long ago ;)

But I might sweat it off this summer n this hot apartment! I have central air and it works, but the unit is too small for my 950 sq.ft., plus I'm on the top floor of a flat-roofed building. It there ever was insulation up there, it's long gone...

[applegrove]

36. I lived in the top floor of a house a few years ago. I would have been dead without air con!

[kentauros]

39. I just turn it to 65F at night,

freeze a little in the morning but then it's around 80F by the late afternoon. Bearable, but it shouldn't have to be that way. My landlord is typical in the business: if it's not broken, there's no need to replace it, no matter how inadequate it is...

[applegrove]

40. I bought my air con myself. One of those portable ones with the huge hose.

I feel so sorry for whomever is living there now if they can't afford one themselves.

[kentauros]

41. I've already told my neighbor (the handyman for our apartments)

that when I'm employed, we're going to buy some outdoor white paint and paint the roof of just my building. It's supposed to improve indoor heating/cooling efficiencies for something like %25-40! I've suggested this very same tactic to the landlord, but he won't budge in trying anything "radical". Then again, he's a libertarian, so spending money to save money is the last thing on his mind...

[petronius]

33. Wait, you just did this in GD, too - is that two pizzas?

If so, I damn well better get some!

[kentauros]

34. Yep, two pizzas!

One large and one medium. (the medium was free with the coupon, which they let me keep to use again, because they're nice like that :D)

I'll PM your pizza. Unless you want it in public?

[petronius]

37. PM is fine, just make sure it's lying flat

I hate when all the cheese goops off to one side of the screen... :9

[kentauros]

38. You're lucky I didn't buy a Tombstone pizza

}(

[madinmaryland]

43. I always thought you were Walt Starr's sockpuppet!

:D

[kentauros]

46. Was he on the dole, too?

:o

I thought one of y'all were going to kick the GD thread today? I'm off to my interview, so I won't see any additional results for a few hours...

[miscsoc]

44. I'm drinking government funded beer as we speak!

[kentauros]

45. A liquid lunch?

:D

[UndertheOcean]

47. You can flush it down the toilet for all I care .

It is your money ...


I suggest you flush it down the toilet rather than buying Dominos though...

[kentauros]

50. I will never buy Abomino's!

Doesn't matter if they changed their quality and I do know about their politics, but they still can't beat the local pizzerias :D

[woo me with science]

48. Yeah, all you past life people are like that. nt

[kentauros]

49. Past life? I'm into future lives!

I can't wait until I land in a future life with full prosthetic bodies like in "Ghost in the Shell"
