Now THIS is important.

Have you seen the Pizza Hut ad on TV where the family is arguing over what side orders to get with their pizza? They set up a straw man situation in which we are led to believe that one of the big problem faced by American families is choosing among breadsticks, wings or cinnamon sticks with frosting to accompany the pizza. Then it's Pizza Hut to the rescue with one brilliant solution: The "side sampler," which contains all three fat-filled, carbohydrate-laden snacks to have with a large fat-filled, carbohydrate-laden pizza.

I don't know about you, but apparently I didn't get the memo about this sort of thing being customary. Of course, this is petty, but jeez louise! How 'bout just having pizza???? That's pretty filling, isn't it? Maybe a tossed salad if you're feeling lettuce-deficient. And of course there's the traditional pizza accompanyment: beer. Lots and lots of beer. But I don't even have that anymore. Just a Diet Coke for me please. sigh. And the salad. Oh, well, yeah, of course the pizza. With sausage. But cinnamon sticks with frosting? Wings? What are you people, crazy? Sandie's right. I am turning into a curmudgeon.
Hey!!! You damn kids!!! Get off my lawn!
