Honda / Nissan merger reportedly dead...

Some things are better off not working out.  That would seem to be the case for Honda here...they didn't need this...

My brother sent this to me. I responded that "attempted" is wrong because you can have "A Murder of One." He then replied, "Time and Time Again, you ruin jokes. That makes for a Long December Round Here." (But he had to concede that my reply proved I got the joke.)

Thankfully it's behind a paywall so I don't have to endure hyperbolic praise over burnt pies...

So they keep saying... :P

Full disclosure - my people commit pizza crimes against nature involving pineapple, so I can't pass pie judgment one way or the other

Italy I think is exclusively thin crust. Idk if Ike Sewell originated thick crust "pizza" but he used to claim to have created it to be more like something Texans would eat. 'Nuff ced.

real pizza, IMHO, comes out of a wood or coal fired oven, in Italy, has prosciutto on it, and maybe arugula/rocket and/or mushrooms, and is properly eaten with a fork and knife. :)

I had something pretty close last night in Shirlington here:

Mine came with guanciale and red onion.
