I only discovered Situation Normal a couple of weeks ago, Michael. I still have 70 articles to read to catch up. Math is not one of my strengths, but I figure if I read 5 a day, I should be up to date in a couple of weeks. But with lines like “I wish pizza grew on trees. If it did, we’d do something about deforestation.” and "The earth is not a rental", it will be pure delight. I gave away my TV set seven months ago and canceled my newspaper. I have not regretted it even for one second. Not when there are Michael Estrins in the world to make me laugh ( and think) every morning over my toast and coffee. Thank you. Sharron at Leaves.

This whole thing made me laugh and laugh. I have convos like you did with Mr. Almost-Large-Pizza everywhere I go and it makes me so happy. What a weird world.

All is your stories are suspenseful but I read this one on the edge of my seat to find out of this pizza was going to be good.

Haha, I think you have your priorities (the pizza!) right.

PS - adding one thought to my comment of five minutes ago. ( and a shameless shout-out) I invite you to go to LEAVES and read "The Half-Star $50 a Night Very Basic Single". You will see we have the same sense of the absurd.
