It isn't, no. But I was too lazy in high school to care.

 

[Dead Winter]

Fuck you guys for bringing up pizza. I could go for a prosciutto, funghi, e salame piccante pizza right about now.

Sigh.

Yeah me too, I seeped through all of those slovenian grammar lessons or I was sent out... because of talking or because our teacher thought that everyone is trying to make fun of her or at least tape her (wtf?)... really, now I think she has some paranoical psychosis... she once acused our class of wanting to murder her and refused to teach us... and we actually liked her decision

We had a teacher like that. I have almost no guilt in saying I'm glad I rarely ever got her. Utterly paranoid, she was; totally unfit to teach.

Turns out, she walked into a primary school a few weeks ago, her wrists slashed. Following this failed attempt, she then overdosed and succeeded.

 

[Dead Winter]

That's horrible. Poor woman.

 

[Captain Beard]

Poor kids, really. They'll grow up to be stand up comedians now.

Damn, now that sounds good. Reminds me of one I had outside the Arena in Verona. Only with pepperoni (Italian, not American) instead of salame.

Mmmmm, pizza with peppers...can't beat it.

If any of you were a bit confused, what Americans call "pepperoni" isn't pepperoni. It's salamino piccante. Pepperoni are grilled peppers, such as bell peppers. Just how in the hell "pepperoni" went from peppers to salame, I have no idea.

 

[Dead Winter]

By the way, what were you doing in Verona? That's a beautiful city...I have lots of friends there.

It's pepperoni in America, but not Italy. It's called "colloquial usage", silly!

 

[Captain Beard]

I DON'T LIKE SPAM. I hear Hawaiians dig it on pizza. Freaks.

 

[Dead Winter]

Yes, silly, but the word pepperoni is an Italian word. It makes no sense to call a vegetable a meat product. You can't steal words and just make them be what you want them to be. I'm gonna go to McDonald's tomorrow and order a pizza because I think pizza should mean hamburger and they'll have to deal with it, . It's craziness!!!!! Pazzesco!!!!!

 

[Malergion]

Shut da kine, biatch! -->to David.

And to Mr. Winter:

I say that Italian has far too many terms for food, which exists with such minuscule variations there.

If I had my say, the whole of Italian food would have such simple subclasses of lard, such as Tuscan Lard or Venetian Lard.

 

[Captain Beard]

This is America! We name things in stupid ways! We name our black people Tyrone and Shaquanda! Get used to our silly mannerisms!

 

[Dead Winter]

No, Americans don't name their kids Shaneequa and Lashanda and Orangello and Lemongello. Only black people name their kids stupid names, .

Except for this one white woman who named her kid Shithead, but pronounced SHUHTEED.

I was out visiting my girlfriend at the time. I actually proposed to her that night, right after we got back to the hotel (the room had a balcony looking toward the sunset).

 

[Lunar Still]

If I was black, I'd name my kids Shaqueefa and Orange-Glo.

 

[Captain Beard]

My sister is white as hell and named her kid Cierra.

 

[Malergion]

Black people don't have a monopoly on weird names, they just use more vowels.
