2020 December Grudge Rematch: Pineapple vs. Pizza

[Jacke]

This is the most important question you will answer, today.

 

[ Poll question, answers, and that lead-in line copied word-for-word from @Obsidian Light's post below.  Because they're perfect. ]

Late last night I rediscovered a poll covering the most fundamental yet understated debate that rocks these forums.

 

There's very few topics about it.  2 to be exact.  @Obsidian Light's poll.  And something about a pair of Shards?

 

 

But it's been over a year since the poll.  There must be a rematch!

 

And who to press-gang recruit to champion the two sides?  None other than the greatest supporters of both.

 

 

@Bionic_Flea, @Jimmy, take your corners!

[Jacke]

My vote is as it was then.  In fact, I'll think I get a pizza with pineapple tonight.  Because it's AWESOME! 🙂

 

 

[Bionic_Flea]

Pineapple is a valid option.  It's not something you want on every pizza.  But every now and then, a Hawaiian pizza is a welcome change of pace.

Black olives and green peppers are fruit, too (seeds on the inside).

I said what I said. I don't like those toppings anyway. 😝

It's actually more mind bogglingly  complex than this.  I can't remember where, but I once heard a description of the different variations of flowers and flower structures plants use to make a package around seeds.

I notice the old thread got 500 votes . . . 

Has ANY poll on these forums ever even -approached- that level of participation?

Probably because no one has dared entered the minefields that are Emacs vs Vi.  X Window vs Windows vs Mac. 🙂

 

Marvel vs DC ? 😄

Hey, I got my information from Veggie Tales™, and there's no better source of authority than that.

I will be keeping a very close eye on this poll.

You're both fired.

Hah!  While you were shooting sharp pointy sticks, maybe watching Tod Cutler videos with all those arrows and armour and arrows shot at armour and smithing and artificering and all (I gotta catch up on them)....

 

I've taken control!  I am now...The PIZZA Mastermind!  Beware my Cheese!  And Pineapples!  And Garlic Sauce!  And Extra Thick NUCLEAR Crust!

Any attempts to stage a coup d'état in my Lumiverse will result in having the walls of reality collapsed on and about your head.  Now remove yourself, and your gastronomical horrors, from your cubicle.

 

And you just lost your severance pay.

MUH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH--<COUGH! COUGH> [ Need to get out more, more exercise, practice my menacing laugh, breath that fresh air--carefully, still dang cold outside.... ]

 

Coup d'état!  HAH!

 

You, poor, poor Hero.  [ Heroing don't pay the bills that well if your Superpower ain't being immensely rich.  Come over to the Villain side for that cool cool cash-flow increase! ]

 

You probably still think Time Travel is possible.  HAH!  Time is Real and it flows, maybe at different rates, but no going back upstream that River.  Moving Hand and all, it's gone on already!

 

If you only knew what you were really experiencing when you think you were travelling in Time!

 

Walls of Reality!  HAH!  Forget about collapsing!

 

What about the CORNERS!  You've not filled in your corners, have you!  DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT COMES OUT OF THOSE CORNERS!?!?!

 

Cubicle!  You think I care about a Cubicle or even a Corner Office with a nice view of Kallisti Wharf and tastefully decorated with sculpture and--BAH!  Well, if you've visited "my" Cubicle, you'll soon enough realise....

 

Hmmm.  You thought you'd learn of my nefarious plots by having me rattle on about....  Oh, oh my.  That one is rather good.  Can hardly keep it to meself.  The struggle is real.  But I'm winning, @Luminara.

 

You think I worry about that pittance that goes for "severance pay" in Paragon City?  Whether it's Countess Crey or Justin Sinclair at the top, you think they got that rich with a good benefits package for the peons beneath them?

 

Speaking of money, checked your accounts recently? 😄  Dang!  Let that one slip out.  Or maybe I meant to let it slip out.  You'll never know!

 

MUH HAH HAH HAH MUH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH

 

Whoops!  Gotta run, my Monorail is here!  TTFN! 🙂

Do you see this, boys and girls?  This is your brain on pineapple pizza.

I'm personally more of a fan of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58wJRrvVgZI

(to be clear:  The musical piece, not that particular film.  I did like how the theme was used as a motif for Worf in First Contact)
