And I Can't Stop Having These Visions

Do anything you want me to

"Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap..."

Before I start this blog entry, I'd like to give a shout out to mi madre. Two reasons... 1) She's probably half dancing in her computer chair singing Dirty Deeds to herself right now. 2) I always think of her whenever I listen to this song because of this little anecdote:

Setting: The Blazer... Madre driving, Farva (age 13ish in passenger seat)
Madre (listening/singing along to AC/DC): "Dirty Deeds, Dum Dum Dee, Dirty Deeds, Dum Dum Dee"
Farva ( ): "Uh... Mom? What'd you just say?"
M: "I was singing... Dirty Deeds Dum Dum Dee... That's how the chorus goes..."
F: "Actually, I'm pretty sure its 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,' in fact I'm quite sure because it's the NAME OF THE SONG!"
M: Oh...
Now that I've embarrassed my mother in print form in front of my 10 loyal readers and any random stragglers on the internet that come across it... Let's move onto the meat of the blog.

So for about two days now I have had an unnatural urge to herbal for pizza. Well, with Paul at a bar, and me sitting on the couch playing poker, I figured its a good time for pizza. So, being the occasionally cheap guy that I am (mainly thanks to bitter Bethany), I decide to pull out The Saver and see what kinds of deals there are. (I'm mildly obsessed with The Saver... I made Paul come back inside today to get a coupon for Subway when we were already down the outside steps.)

Well, I decide that a good cheesy bread would be delicious as well, so I flip to the Papa John's page and see these:



$8.99 for a medium with 1 topping and breadsticks. Good deal, but I want cheesesticks, not bread. So I look to the right, and *insert angel revelation noise here* theres a medium pizza with cheesesticks for $9.99. After debating for about 15 minutes what I'm going to use as my one topping (between Extra Cheese, Pepperoni, and Spicy Italian Sausage), I call Papa John's and get a DAMN RECORDING.

Ahh well, when sitting there, I'm relooking the coupons, when all of a sudden I notice some vital information that I missed previously. The $9.99 that I planned on using was for a 'Medium Cheese Pizza'. AKA NOT ONE TOPPING. So let's see what this coupon gets us as compared to the original $8.99 coupons:
  1. + $1.00
  2. + Cheese on Breadsticks
  3. - One Topping

In hindsight, this doesn't appear to be such a great deal... except right at this very second, the employee answers the phone and asks me what I would like. I have too much pride to sit there and be like "Uh... Uh... Uh."

So I make a split second decision.

So what do I do?

"Ohh! Neckties"
