What's the deal with y'all folding your pizzas?

You know, a lot of people I know who are from up here don't even do it. But personally I can never understand eating a slice unfolded. Sure, folding it makes it go in probably half the time, but it's so much more...logical, satisfying, delicious even.
hehe.

This is an agree to disagree thing. Folding would prevent the differences in taste and texture between the top and bottom of the slice.

10: a sub
11: "the"? Dude, I wear boardshorts, a binder and a rash guard, how about you? ;)
13: Me neither. I guess cleaning isn't in my vocabulary.
14: firefly
15: a pillbug, if you're too damn old or dignified to say "rolley polley" like the rest of us. (That's "pole-ly".)
17: Too quickly and too often.
20: Huh? Oh, right. They have those in places that aren't built on top of slowly collapsing limestone sponges.

Rashguards kick ass for that purpose. That is, if you don't mind people thinking you're either a surfer or a wannabe.

I mean I do surf (by which I mean I tried teaching myself 2 or so summers ago) so either way I guess it's worth a try. Thanks for the tip yo.

Funny story about grinders:
My grandmother is from Philly but has been going to the Cape for decades. One of the first years she and my grandfather went up there, they saw a sign advertising Italian grinders. My nice little Jewish grandmother said, "Well, I don't know why they have to advertise the fact that the butcher's Italian!"

I kid you not.

lol

I'm a bit saddened that the proliferation of Subway in CT has all but killed the grinder.

I CANNOT STAND IT when MidWesterners call soda "pop". It hurts me inside to hear.
