@achewood There are only five Wodehouse books on my special Wodehouse shelf?! As Jeeves himself might ask, "Where in the fuck are the rest of them."

You know you can order online from Papa John's now?  Same benefits, you can verify the livin' crap out of your order before submitting.

At home we're not allowed to order Papa John's or Domino's because they both give money to anti-choice groups.

I ordered from Pizza Hut online once and everything was fine.

I cant imagine a future where I am concerned with food chain political contributions. The time and energy required to research every place of business and what they do with their money is time and energy id rather spend on other things.

oh, no, see, I imagine myself living in a house with a lady who cares enough to check up on this stuff. and, of course, cares enough to make a rule that Papa John's is Not OK to Eat due to this fact.

Also, we live in an age where information is available through avenues other than finding it out yourself.

Well, you still have to fire up Google and sort the wheat from the chaff.  Its not like they're beaming your choices directly into your skull (yet).

For a couple years the SO always went on the Ms. magazine cruise and one of the most popular sessions was always investing/eating/shopping ethically. So they'd give you lists of Bad Places like Domino's & Papa Johns. Although those two are really blatant about their beliefs already.

Well the head guy at Domino's (CEO? Founder?) is trying to start an all-Catholic town in Florida. None of the drug stores will be allowed to carry condoms, all the schools will be Catholic schools. That kind of thing.

My favourite part of this sentence is the 'at home', the implication being that you secretly and illicitly order papa john's pizza from work or similar.

Also I don't order dominoes pizza beacuse I like my pizza to taste good. I always get into arguments with The Lady about this because she believes Dominoes is superior the the Hut whilst I champion the opposite agenda. Luckily there are like 3 tiny boutique type pizza shops basically in walking distance of us that beats the ##### of any stupid chain store.

I don't usually eat Domino's or Papa John's because they don't taste so good.  Fortunately I have a little mom and pop place very close that makes really good pie.  I don't know their politics, but the dude that delivers has a Radiohead and a Bjork bumper sticker.  He brought the pizza into my apartment and put two slices on a plate for me that time I sprained my ankle.

I have a weakness for Papa Johns because I like that garlic-butter-esque stuff they give you to dip your crusts into. It is thoroughly mediocre otherwise but that other stuff is completely addictive.

I... need to exercise more, this is all there is to it.

As far as bland chains go, I think Round Table is the best you can get. I can do with Pizza Hut, but Dominoes is like eating some dude's old college sweatshirt with a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese on it.

A-CAP doesnt allow coca cola products to be sold or distributed on campus because there was a thing a couple years ago when coca cola refused to deny that maybe they funnel money to paramilitary groups
