Food / Polish Pizza !! The best in the world? [330]

@Miloslaw

I'm the other way around. Zapiekanka is kind-of-crappy. Polish pizza ca. 2007ish is pretty good, ca. 2015 is very good, unless you go to some hillbilly joint.

I'm a yank, I know what I'm talking about. 😁

😮. To the gulag with you! :)

RAP, you ever hear Penderecki's Threnody for Hisroshima Victims? Interesting piece, especially the microtonal aspect.

@Joker

That's an outdated POV. Pizza in Poland is very good. In Poznań, you'll find some exceptional pizzerias, and I'm sure other Polish cities can say the same.

@Bobko

:D. You sound like one of my Polish brother-in-laws. That dude could drink that stuff like a cocktail.

You ever put some hot sauce in your "chipotle" sauce of ketchup and mayo? I might be able to tolerate that.

Now, if you tell me you out ketchup on a hot dog without adding mustard to the mix, I'm going to need the coordinates of your current location. As you justify your apprehension and need to be publicly flogged in the middle of Times Square.


Yet another reason one should never EVER trust the Belgians and French. Those people suffer from serious and deep defects.

@Bobko

Being a NYC resident, have you ever had a slice from Lombardi's? It's in Bowery or near it, close to CBGB's. Flipping good stuff. I think it's the place that claims to be the first pizzeria in America.

In Poznań there's a place called Forni Rossi that is one of the Top 5 pizzas I've ever had - and I've had a lot of pizza-and they do NOT dabble in the sacrilege of putting ketchup on their pizza.

Ketchup on pizza. Drives me to pray an entire battery of novenas for atonement of such a sacrilege.

"Kucharski also revealed that Bayern already knew Lewandowski's plan of playing in Spain and retiring in the United States"

The US, the place European soccer greats go to retire. Doesn't exactly speak well for MLS, it's like it's on the level of minor leagues (or, I believe, you Euros call it, second and third league).

" Another reason why the striker wants to try his hand in Spanish football is that Lewandowski wants to one-up fellow striker Karim Benzema from Real Madrid and show him who the better striker was. "

If this is indeed true, I have even greater respect for Lewandowski.

No need to be sorry. I never said I am. But, please notice that the unjust Russian invasion of Uke isn't simply about Polish-Russian relations. I'd go even as far as saying it's much more about US-Russian relations than Polish-Russian.

One thing I do find absolute lunacy is how all of a sudden NATO and the EU are entertaining bringing Uke into each. Uke has nothing to offer either , except headaches and problems.

Really? Can you point to such pro-appeasement posts? I'm sure a simple clarification would illuminate you're misreading of said posts.

Just because I don't want to cut Russia off from the legion of man or deem all Russians irredeemable, doesn't mean I wish to appease Russian aggression.

Quite the contrary. My position is just more than kill the orcs and wag our righteous fingers in their face and tell them to be what we want them to be.

@ GK AND @ Bobko Bobkovich

You guys must realize that your civil discourse is uncivilized. You are two naziesque bastards with all of your willingness to rise above your marked differences to speak to each other as human beings.

Human beings, as if we could even call your behavior human. Entering into a rational exchange of perspectives, how disgustingly inhuman. You beasts!

Instead of following the noble and righteous path of self-righteous superiority and ostraciziation, you choose to...to...to....{excuse me 🤮🤮🤮}...treat each other as fellow humans. You freaking nazis!

Please, Paulina and Paw Patrol, carry on with your humane and decent discourse. We have a lot to learn from your humility about sowing the seeds of peace and fraternal correction.

Those rankings can kiss my ass, Bobko Bobkovich. I guarantee you someone with the wide breadth of reading and thinking about the works you were exposed to has a greater capacity to think critically by inferring a broader base of reference than your grad from some high-ranker polytech.

I saw a program about a highly esteemed techincal university in India that educates its students in various tech disciplines. They are brilliant engineers, but about as creative and imaginative as a Saharan pond.

Agghhhh, sh!t! I guess I won't encourage the spawn of my loin to look at Columbia afterall.

@Bobko

Thanks for the link. When I went into college that type of curriculum was what I was looking for. I had to sort of create it myself with the help of a few good profs- the beauty of the independent study course.

I had a certain affinity for Columbia because of Mark van Doren and Thomas Merton.

I thought Columbia started to abandon or dilute this curriculum, I must have mistaken it for another school. Glad to hear it's still alive. I might encourage my kids to give it a look-see. Plus, you still have a guy like McWhorter teaching there, so that's a plus.

I can imagine the way we do it is weird to you Euros. It's this difference that has made my new found love for soccer so interesting .

As it is now, I'd prefer to see a live pro soccer match than any other pro sport in America. Going to one tonight.

@GefreiterKania

Yeah, you could paint your house, go on a cruise, and discover a new element for the periodic table within the expanse of a match.

Off-Topic / Random Sports News [855]

Thanks. So the transfer fee is basically one club paying the other club the fee to allow the player to move. Interesting set-up. This is virtually unheard of in non-soccer pro sports in US. It's a completely different and foreign approach.

The whole football transfer market is befuddling to me.

Barcelona offered 35 mil Euros to Bayern for Lewandowski. Bayern has rejected offer saying Lew is valued at 50 mil.

Lew is still under contract with Bayern, correct?

If Bayern accepts Barca's offer of, say, 45 mil, does Bayern get the 45 mil? If so, what does Lew get? Does his contract with Bayern simply transfer ownership rights to Barca and Lew continues getting paid according to said contract until it expires?

Is there a free agency in footbal: a player's contract expires and then he's open to sign with any club without consideration owed to previous club? I'd assume there is but is it very common and robust? It seems every report I read about a player moving to another club, that player is always still under a club.

That was funny. Some Polish babe must've broke his vulnerable Latin heart.

Pretty much everything Crow says is funny, but it's more like skit comedy. His indefatigable yearning and buoyant rallying of slavdom is pure art. How he addresses fellow slavs, regardless of the degree of chasmic disconnect, as dobre brate keeps me reading his tortuous and matrixesque posts.

If beauty is a mangled disconnected collection of conspiratorial meanderings tethered to a thin, yet constant, theme, then Crow is the Rembrandt of PF.

Yeah, and that's the problem. I think your President is 90% sh!t and 10% admirable but, for crying out loud, Russians have plenty of redeeming qualities, except the Russian who replaced my roof-he has none (but that's another story)

Amen! A-freaking-men!


A-freaking-men, again!


Can I get another amen?!?!

do we want to find ways to solve problems that lead to a tolerable environmemt or just continually perpetuate grievances and seek retribution? This idea that Russia is an irredeemable bunch of Slavic barbarians will only perpetuate grievances.

Certainly this unjust invasion should be condemned and confronted, but all of this dispatching Russia and Russians to the frozen wilderness outside the civilized world is self-righteous pride that could end up biting us in the ass down the road.
