Wait'll you see photos of the homemade version I ate last night! Wow, not only was it fun to make but it tasted great. As for <a href="http://www.happyitis.biz/History/Farrell_History.htm" rel="nofollow">Farrell's</a>, now those were the glory days, my American friend. The forever-classic <a href="http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/business/20060729-9999-1b29ice.html" rel="nofollow">Pig's Trough</a> was all a kid could ask for <a href="http://www.farrellsusa.com/nost.html" rel="nofollow">way back in the 1970s</a> (if anyone was even alive back then). So, what if most kids were boring enough to go for plain ol' vanilla ice cream and hot fudge like good little preprogrammed and brainnumbed autoconsumerbots? Bah! The real geniuses in the crowd always broke the mold when they went for a delirious concoction like blueberry ice cream, plus mint ice cream, plus at least another flavor (what, rocky road?), and then smothered the whole thing in a rich yummy pineapple sauce... all without giving a good goddamn if their boothmates shouted "ewwwww!" and the waiter thought "this sick, twisted kid must be insane!"

That pizza make me weak in the knees. Damn, it was good. And, yes, delivery included for about 4 bucks a pie... not shabby at all. I probably shouldn't admit that I actually tried to order again last night, Saturday. Heh. Sick, eh? Sure. I wanted the same exact pizza again. Unfortunately, they didn't answer their two main phone numbers, but someone did kinda answer the mobile phone number listed on the back... but he claimed they didn't have any staff working and that Swedish House no longer delivers after midnight. So, I guess they aren't exactly non-stop. Interestingly, on Thursday night (as photographed in the post), they delivered around 2am... so is it another case of inconsistency in a Romanian company? 'Fraid so. fish - So far, so good.  No major Valdez-type incidents to report, so I keep rollin' the dice baby! Cheeky - You know, that actually quite amazing.  And the cat was tossed into the photo at the very last possible minute, only to pretty up the view a little bit.  I wonder where you got yours?  Mystery, indeed. john - Dude, lemme tell ya!

With food like that how could one not love Romania!!! I had some rather "interesting" pies in Bosnia, but having them delivered was out of the question. Shit, I'm hungry now! And my desk looks the same way when I eat. I think I've had to replace my keyboard twice this year...but then my spills have been drunken bastard mistakes. Looks good man! John WOW! I’m hooked!

Please keep a minimum distance of 2 meters at all times between food and hardware. Aside from the possibility of spills and sticky keys, lack of focus might have you chewing on xD cards or typing with your fork. Dude! Scenarios like the one portrayed in your last pic frighten me.
