I can't figure out how to get my security camera DVR to talk to the internet or my phone.
I'm apparently old enough to get my kids to figure it out for me.
I have too many cars for the available space.

All I can think is, as Potato Head from Toy Story said "You uncultured swine!"
I am known to call people (typically my co-workers and friends) "uncultured wine" or nekulturny (Russian for an uncultured person, and a grave insult in their culture). Sometimes I'm actually joking.
I have only ever read the word "nekulturny", but I really like it. I presume, in my first world, that I can google the proper pronunciation so I do not appear nekulturny when I mispronounce it...

This is the first world. Order a second pizza, and throw out the leftovers.
He'll order TWO like that, the mad man! "Berk you, David, and your uncultured pizza tastes. This is berkeleying New York, we eat pie-cut and at least two toppings!"
Time to take control of the situation. A quick, "berkeley you" when he insists on ordering cheesetoast might do.
I need to dig a french drain into my driveway. Apparently the dew/frost at night is enough to put a perpetual quarter inch of water in the low spot of the driveway and it makes my cars muddy.

Given my experience with “pizzas” up north I feel I will regret asking, but what is a party cut?
In reply to Wally :
party left, slices right
each has a place IMO

Anarchy. Party-cut is anarchy. You end up with slices with no crust or those tiny little corners that are just crust and maybe a smidgen of cheese, and the sizes all vary.

Pshaw. Party cut is the way to go for anything bigger than a medium.

I guess it might be, if you enjoy eating your pizza with a knife and fork.
Square cuts are only acceptable for square pizzas. Who in the hell designs a food with a built-in handle, and then cuts the handle off before they eat it?
I like the square cut for my toddler.
I was confused, and offended on behalf of Chicago, when I found that papa johns calls their square cut "Chicago cut". Just..no. No chain, or any pizza place in western PA I've found ever, has any idea what Chicago deep dish pizza is or is supposed to be.
That, I feel, is a huge first World problem.

No, that actually sounds about right. Ignoring the fact that Papa Johns is horrible pizza (seriously, it is worse than even Tombstone or Jacks frozen), when I think of Chicago style pizza I think of thin crust that is usually cut in squares. No need for knife and fork.
Chicago deep dish is usually only eaten by Chicagoans about 3-4 times a year; usually we get thin-crust.
In reply to mtn :
I don't have any issue with Papa John's pizza. Is it great pizza? No, but it is perfectly acceptable. It's leagues better than any frozen pizza ever made, ever.
Papa John's is definitely good for one thing:
I don't care if it's nasty, overprocessed crap. I can't get enough of it. I haven't had Papa John's in years and just making this post has my mouth watering for it. Why? I don't know. But it's DA BOMB.

Try living in the South where no one has a clue what real pizza is. I remember this conversation when I lived in TN:
Me: I could go for a pizza
Friend: Little Caesar's is right up the road
Me: No, a real pizza.
Friend: Oh, then call Papa John's.
Me: No, a non-chain restaurant honest-to-god pizza
Friend: *blank stare*
Me: I'm in hell.
In reply to NickD :
Sounds just like Northern California actually. It was either a chain, frozen, or a flatbread being pawned off as pizza.
Even where I live in swpa, there are 3 what I would call great pizza places, and 2 of them are an hour away from me. I actually buy Aldi take n bake because it's better than the shops.
Your rant does make me laugh though, as I'm not allowed to order anymore for other reasons. I don't like pepperoni, so I order other toppings. Jalapeno n bacon, sausage peppers n onion, white pizza with bacon, etc. Sometimes buffalo, sometimes bbq, but always a different mix of meat and veggies. I think my friends would like your friends boring tastes.

Heh, DW and I moved from being lifelong residents of the Philadelphia / New York areas to St. Louis. First night there, we figured we'd try the local award-winning "STL's Favorite" Imo's Pizza. It was the worst, most hideously overpriced crap I've ever eaten. This was the pizza equivalent of bad sex - it supposedly doesn't exist, but that Imo's one was sure as hell bad. I would never pass off Papa John's as a substitue for real, hand-tossed, New York utility pizza, but it's completely edible. BTW it's much better if you order it "well done".
We couldn't get a decent hoagie, either, until Subway opened up... and that alone speaks volumes. I once was so desperate that I walked the local sandwich shop guy through making me an Italian, step by step. And then it took me 5 minutes to explain what a grinder was, and how I could possibly want the sandwich we had just so carefully constructed burnt up in the oven.

Yeah, I come from a city called ROME, New York (neighbored by Utica and Syracuse), so you can guess what nationality most of the people in the area are. I go other places and try pizza or Italian food and am consistently disappointed
In reply to RevRico :
have you tried Little "E"s or Ianni's?
I like them both. However, I am one of those people that think pizza is like sex. Even when it is not the best ever, its still pretty damn good.
I am now starving for deep dish from Gino's East. There's nothing like it. There is no substitute. This, my friends, it pizza:
No, that's a casserole. It looks delicious, I agree without hesitation, but you need to be able to fold a piece of pizza and eat it with one hand.
In reply to Duke :
Yes.. fold it in one hand.
That, Above is what we in MN call a "Hot Dish"
In reply to wvumtnbkr :
I've had Iannis once, it was good. A lot like Mondays used to be. After working by and driving past little Es since they opened I still have not tried it. I've looked at the menu a few times, I've heard good things, it just doesn't grab me. I should try it though, it's closer than Jioios.
What is a real shame is when we built Isaac's Ale House, Johnny spent a crap load on the coal fired pizza oven, and hired a good pizza chef to run it. Now that it's Black Rock, they pretty much let it go, and from what I hear they rarely have anyone that can make pizza working.
I'm going to be working on my own dough recipe over the winter. I like where it's at but it can get better.
Not sure why pizza made me think of this, but another first World problem I have is that my plasma cutter doesn't have an air flow control. Yes, I can set it's psi, but after I let off the trigger it blows air for like a minute, which kills my small compressor.
