The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for May 29, 2012

And I’ll bet he’s not kidding!!

Morning Crustwoodians

Burl, you’ll have to count, and we know how hard that is for you.

OMG, it’s kid time again! How well I remember, “She’s got the fulllest glass.” (We solved that problem by having one divide and the other choose first.)I hesitate to think what would happen if the pizza had a topping that couldn’t be measured or divided equally, like pepperoni. Then again, everybody knows about Jerry, of whom it is said, “How much can he eat? How much do you have?” Burl may well be practicing defensive eating, and we know how important that is to all of them.

Good morning all!

Hey I’m surprised they don’t order four large pizzas. A personal size pizza is NOTHING to anyone in this group.And for the price of four dinky snacks, they could get 2 mediums, whack ‘em in half, and stick ’em on four separate plates.I don’t expect these dimwits to know the math of it…but they DO smell bargains, and you can easily see half a medium is way bigger. Of course, I’m just nerdy enough to love it that most people think a 12" pizza is twice as big as a 6".

Do Joy’s and Jerry’s cups say “Your cup!”?

I like how the pointer on Burl’s speech balloon goes behind the wall motto…just to emphasize its application to what he said.Of course, most things he says are cheesy.He’s a cheesy little man….not to insult actual cheese, which is much nicer than Burl.

Psst…. Marg …. have you recovered from your trip?That’s the trouble with vacations — you need one after one. I wondered how your foot held up.

Burl, here’s a guy that can help you divide up a pizza.

Can you imagine the trouble Burl would have with a square cut recursive pizza?

Can Burl count to 2?

Good thing he’s so dumb. Otherwise, he’d be at it with a protractor to check that everyone got an equal angle. Shudder to think what would happen if the pepperoni wasn’t equally divided among the slices. But given their likely history of tipping the delivery guy, the pizza will be stone cold anyway.

It’s JOY"s “Green Blouse with Orange Flowers” again… ! ! !

and JOY is splitting a flat of flowers with VERLA while including BURL in the calculation….. ? ! ?

Just think for Burl to count he may need to take his shoes off DO YOU REALLY WANT THAT

After Friday, untill I find another job, look for me on the side of the entrance ramps. I’ll be holding up the cardboard sign saying, “Will tell jokes for food!”

I don’t like most commercial pizzas. I make sandwich bag size for myself with whole wheat flour and flax, also do my sauce mixed with brocolli and low salt tomato – problem is pepperoni only found organic at one place in CA and shipping is $$.

Oh gosh, dfOwen, I think it looks wonderful…I was just going to ask x_Tech if he knew where it came from.It’s a large pizza covered in teensy mini-pizzas with all different toppings.It looks a bit bare in the spaces between the minis, and a little confusing cos it’s been cut into tiny squares…but it’s positively inspirational!The dough would have to be very thin to accommodate having two layers…but what an interesting thing to try and create!Thanks, X!

Marg — thanks for answering — hope you see this at some point.Glad the foot held up — be kind to it for a while now….And glad you liked my Ballard Street ditty.Did you happen to see the one Beviek “commissioned” for MonkeyBlues a few days before?That forum has become even crazier than this one!
