There was a villain in the original Teenage Mutant Ninjas cartoon, Cantey, whose face was an actual pizza.
I think he might have been a chef though, rather than just a delivery boy.

Not possible, fourcats ... as I've never actually heard the song.
To really love a woman
To understand her - you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought - see every dream
N' give her wings - when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a woman
When you love a woman you tell her
that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?
To really love a woman
Let her hold you -
til ya know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her - really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
Ya know ya really love a woman
When you love a woman
you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
that you'll always be together
So tell me have you ever really -
really really ever loved a woman?
You got to give her some faith - hold her tight
A little tenderness - gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin' good care of you
Ya really gotta love your woman...
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a woman
When you love a woman you tell her
that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?
Just tell me have you ever really,
really, really, ever loved a woman?
Just tell me have you ever really,
really, really, ever loved a woman?

Hi there.
My hair also comes out in wads - apparently it's healthy as long as no holes are visible after in the hair on your head. I protest - I love Fred Basset. As for tipping the guy - he's got to earn the tip - so don't feel bad and don't apologise for not tipping a lot. (I wouldn't have given anything.)

You've just reminded me of a few zoo stories.
I am going to reinvestigate Fred Bassett to see whether he makes sense in the UK. I need to find out what newspaper he's in first.
I shall report back.

Mlle,
I've had fleeting thoughts of getting an old-fashioned Schwinn, the "girl" kind (without that unladylike bar). Then it would be possible to wear a skirt and straw hat. I've never done either, but it was a nice fantasy. They look good in old photos, especially black and white or sepia.

That's a good quote, Franciscan, and Updike is (obviously) some writer.
I absolutely adored "The City" and (not surprisingly) "The Witches of Eastwick".
Interestingly enough, not looking foolish is also the primary reason I avoid skating, chess, badminton, equestrian, karaoke and most water sports.

Mademoiselle,
1) It's not the size of the wheel that counts but, the quality of the ride. (Well....that's what I've heard.)
2) I had a different answer but, I like DavyAbram's better. Besides mine was certain to offend someone and likely to get me banned from Blogit.
3) One should always consume only the very best coffee; unless one is desperate (i.e., there is no other coffee available) in which case, there is no such thing as bad coffee. If it appears to be that bad, then dilute with generous amounts of milk or cream (but, never sugar - see # 5 below.) Besides, it is not about the coffee, it's about the caffeine.
4) Don't read it.
5) You shouldn't be eating pizza - too many carbs. Look at this way: when you're 50 and your first husband stops by to drop off / pick up the grandkids, don't you want him to just die about how gorgeous you are and to relive the unbearable regret of having lost you. Well? That is not going to happen if your butt and tummy spread and too many carbs now will ruin a perfectly good revenge then. Mademoiselle, you've got to think ahead.

Hahahaha Madame........
Throwing up on the first date......that happened to me. There was this guy that I worked with that kept asking me out and everytime he'd ask me I truly had other plans. I really did want to go out with him but his timing was really off...he thought I was making excuses but he was persistent. This went on for a few weeks until finally we made a date. He picked me up in his hot Porsche convertible and we decided to go tooling around the mountain winding roads. Before we left for our drive we stopped at a nice club and I had a glass of wine on an empty stomach. As we were speeding through the seriously winding mountain roads all of sudden I told him he had to pull over...NOW....he did and I opened the passenger door and puked my brains out! I was totally humiliated and as he handed me a tissue and a breath mint he said, "You know if you really didn't want to go out with me you could have just said so! We had a great laugh and ended up dating for a while, became good friends and he married one of my girlfriends. Til this day I still hear this story......the worst date he ever had! LOL

Morning Young lady!
My son is making extra money delivering pizzas. He says he appreciates a 2 to 3 dollar tip on regular orders. He also says that most late deliveries are because the store is swamped or the computer holds stuff up when people order online. He also points out the cost of gas :) My hubby and I usually give any delivery people (our average order for food is around $25) around $3 to $5 because we both have worked for tips in the past...so that may be a bit much.

I delivered pizza for awhile
they are often underappreciated. Rain, snow, sleet, car trouble, or gunpoint holdup (happened to me once) - they'll do everything within their power to get you your pizza while it's still hot. Even if they take awhile, it often isn't the delivery person's fault.
Anyway, $2 is a nice average tip (go up or down depending on attitude and service). For a larger order, figure about $1 per pizza (a $2 tip for an order of 15 pizzas is not good).
