if you allow open-faced sandwiches to be considered sandwiches, then pizza is a sandwich, and anyone who thinks pizza is a sandwich is an idiot by definition.

Are open-faced sandwiches pizzas?

What exactly are Rivals.com puns and why do so many people get probated for them?

I had a look at the website, which is obviously something to do with American sport, but I don't want to have to actually read all of it and I can't think of another thread where asking the question wouldn't be derailing.

Take an athlete's name or a team name. Replace part of it with an insulting word. It's not funny and it's what they do at Rivals.com so that's how it got the name.

True dis. Mine have never been as soft and puffy as restaurant ones though. More fat, maybe?

Are you cooking it on a stone? Make sure it's hot enough before you throw your bread on it. High-gluten flour also helps a lot, as long as you knead it enough. I wouldn't use too much fat, maybe a tablespoon or so of olive oil depending on how much dough you're making. Fat will make it softer (I use olive oil in my pizza dough for a nice chewy crust), but the best way to make it puffy is to knead it thoroughly and really develop the gluten so it can hold air better.

This may all be terribly obvious but the way I've always made bread is through trial and error. Try something different and see how it changes the final product. The best thing about making bread is that even if you gently caress it up it's still tasty.

A teacher once told me a story of a friend of hers who had a little poodle with a little pillbox hat. The poodle loved that hat. Put it on one day when company was over and strutted proudly into the living room. Naturally everyone cracked up, but poor doggie ran away and hid the hat and never wore it again.

My first concert was Children of Bodom (I know :cripes:) with Trivium and Amon Amarth opening.

Amon Amarth was by far the highlight of the evening. Johann Hegg came out with a loving drinking horn full of beer and drank a toast to the audience. Trivium sucked and Matt Heafy acted like such an unbelievable rear end in a top hat.

My first festival was Sounds of the Underground 2006, at which I met a topless gal who'd gotten her tits autographed by two members of GWAR.

The best live album is Tom Waits' Big Time, as previously stated.

Hey, I didn't mention Amon Amarth's tour, the one Decapitated would've been on if not for the accident, that had Sonic Syndicate as an opening act.

Sonic Syndicate is a poppy screamo band that is so loving terrible that people sat down in the pit instead of moshing and pretty much booed through the entire set. The nicest thing I heard anyone say about them was that the bassist was kinda cute.

Do people really say "ombudsperson"? Because that is really dumb. Just because a word has the syllable "man" in it doesn't mean it's referring to males. "Ombudsman" comes from the Norwegian word "ombudsmann", it's not a combination of "ombuds" and "man" like "policeman".

It's from Swedish, spelled the same as in English, and originally from Old Norse umboðsmaðr. And maðr actually means man. As in a male. For that matter, so does Swedish man and Norwegian mann.

I don't know what you're getting at but it's completely wrong except that "ombudsperson" is a really clumsy and dumb-sounding word.

e: For that matter, ombudsman sounds dumb too. Can't we use a different word?

"Ombudsman" is a fine word if only because it sounds inappropriately ominous. Like a job that should require you to wear a cowl.

I have completely reversed my opinion on the word and this is how I will picture ombudsmen in the future.

Chanting in a dead language is probably also involved.

I have the awesome Android keyboard app SwiftKey, which has a predictive typing feature that's usually pretty good. If I hit the suggestion over and over, though, without typing anything, just taking the suggested word that appears in the middle at the top of the keyboard, I get the sentence "I am a terrible Irish person and I can't drink Guinness."

I don't remember ever using that sentence. :wtc:
