The perils of delicious pizza

Something I hadn't considered: when you have delicious pizza in the house, it is very difficult to keep oneself from eating all the delicious pizza in one gluttonous sitting. Similarly, it is borderline heartbreaking when you prepare individual slices of delicious pizza in anticipation of bringing them to school (for lunch ... or show & tell) and then forget them at home.

In other "Dave News You Can Use", I like to read The Village Voice. I haven't gotten to this week's Savage Love -- that's the last thing to read because it's the best -- but this week there was a halfway good piece by Nick Sylvester titled "Were the Beatles Really That Important?" Apparently they were. What if the Beatles never existed? Here are some of Sylvester's findings:

• Instead of people saying, "Hey, nice Beatles-style haircut," they'd say, "Hey, you sort of look like an asshole."
• The dudes from Interpol would be really successful investment bankers at a firm owned by Ian Curtis, who is the most emotionally stable person in the world.
• Here is a conversation that might happen if the Beatles didn't exist:
  -Hey do you want to see the Beatles tonight?
  -No.
• Here is another conversation:
  -Hey, so the Beatles are playing tonight.
  -(nobody is listening)
• Instead of me fooling around on a drumset and my dad coming in and saying, "Who do you think you are--Ringo Starr?" my dad would come in and say, "Who do you think you are--a guy I have never heard of?"
• All the baseball stadiums that play the Beatle's "Birthday" when birthdays are announced at the seventh inning stretch would only use the traditional version of "Happy Birthday." Alternatively, nobody would celebrate birthdays, or be born.
• The Country Music Awards would happen every day.
• John Lennon and Paul McCartney on the street:
  -Good day, sir.
  -Good day.
