The Phantom Pizzeria I might have done something stupid tonight.
I felt lazy and didn't want to cook, so I picked up a flyer I had gotten in the mail that advertised a pizzeria which offers home delivery. I selected their pick-your-own-ingredients pizza, called them up and placed the order. The mumbling guy at the other end told me it would take forty-five minutes but after a mere twenty minutes my doorbell rang. The guy who delivered the pizza looked a little bit strange, you know, not drunken or dirty necessarily but rather as if he could be in a David Lynch movie. I ate the pizza anyway and it tasted okay but far from great and I couldn't get the creepy feeling I got from that guy out of my head. So I went and looked at the flyer again to see where this pizzeria is located (in case I might have walked past it one day) but there was no address anywhere! Then I looked in the phone book and it wasn't listed. I googled it. No hits. It's a friggin phantom pizzeria and I just ate their pizza... I'll let you know if my stomach starts feeling really weird. Have you ever had a bite to eat at some restaurant and then noticed something that made you regret ever going there in the first place? | |

That's REALLY funny! There are some places like that here though, that don't have a restaurant/place for pickup, they only do the deliveries. I have made point of not calling those places though cos you never know where they are. | |

The big question is; do you know anybody who ordered from them and survived? | |

At least it's somewhat comforting to know that there are other pizzerias like it out there. I bet they're not registered as proper business though, which means that there are no health controls. | |

A total David Lynch scenario, complete with dwarves speaking backwards or people with no faces. And they'd be chopping up a cat into the cubes that I thought was chicken, and then they sprinkle some dandruff onto the cheese for extra tang. | |

I just noticed that my 10,000th post was the one about dwarves and dandruff. How very appropriate for the org. | |
