comments: the unimaginable happened today. I forgot to take lunch photos. you'd think after 7 years, it would be easy to remember. but I guess I was too confused by the low low price of my lunch. and fortunately, I did take this photo whilst checking in on foursquare. but no paul lunch, no bill lunch. weird man. could it be yet another sign of the upcoming apocalypse? click to see the armoured truck they will be filming around the neighbourhood this week. for some movie called Bailout.

napoletana pizza
from: nicli antica pizzeria
price: $16
rating: &&&&.5/&&&&&
listening to: guns n roses
comments: so, it seems that nicli is now open for lunch. it's probably the fanciest pizza place I ever been. it's not cheap. but it's good. and I don't know anywhere else in the city that makes pizzas quite like these. mine had anchovies. yum. anyway, it's very good. now is time for clicking! click my lunch if you ever wondered whatever happened to K.I.T.T. from knightrider. pretty sad. what? no no no, that's not 'shopped. that's KITT. really.

and gavin had:

one with prosciutto
comments: click gavin's lunch to see what could be the single most frightening thing that you could ever see outside an elementary school.... amazing, huh? if you were as stoked by that van as I was, you will want a closer look at it.

and eric had:

a cheeseless one
comments: today eric returned from his vacation to the parks of utah. I'd share some photos with you, but they all seemed to be on his iphone only. oh well. instead, I will share a wiggly of him and bill jammin' on the iPad.

and bill had:

a veggie one
comments: overall, I think everyone liked their pizzas. the beer was tasty, too. but it was not quite the level of the kronenberg whites from incendio. and finally, click bill's lunch to see a storm that I think I managed to outwalk. huzzah.

oh you just gonna keep another lunch for you

rating: &&&&/&&&&&
listening to: kanye west
comments: this sandwich was good, but I like the turducken and porchetta more. I'll keep trying em all. now to the linked wiggly. I added one little line to this wiggly. can you spot it? it changes everything.

and eric and I both had:

a piece o pizza each
comments: yet another different lunch truck in the 'hood. ragazzi pizza. they make a good thin crust pizza. I was very curious as to what kinda oven they got in there. and how hot it must get in the summer time. yikes. click to see a very happy max and a sad frozen eric.

and eric had:

a 1/4 chicken
comments: the chicken was good. to describe it, I'd have to say... it tasted like chicken. now, allow me to rant about vancouver drivers. I see this all too often. people bang into each other in an intersection, then they leave their cars blocking traffic and talk to each other. stop this. just pull your cars out of the way, then discuss it. respect the almighty flow of traffic! click eric's chicken to see this happening. and here's another angle of it. I think that silver honda hit the jeep. now idea how.

yet another weekend post.

pizza
from: uncle fatih's
price: only the price of working on a saturday
rating: &&&&.5/&&&&&
comments: I don't know when the uncle fatih's revolution started in this town, but it certainly was successful. these pizzas seem to be the norm now. and rightly so. they are very good. so yeah, I worked this weekend. basically, it was all so I could make a wiggly of bill trying to bend nerf bullets like in that 'wanted' movie. win?

broken down and hungry for your lunch, with no way to feed it

capricossia? pizza
from: incendio's
price: $16
rating: &&&&/&&&&&
listening to: jeff buckley
comments: today I deviated from my norm. no calzone. a normal pizza, instead. and it was delicious. but... I'll go back to the calzone next time. pizza is just pizza. I mean, it's good, it's great even, but the calzone... that's something special. also made more jumping/hovering gifs today. I realized that, the more people are jumping, the less likely it is to get them to synchrohover. oh well. click my lunch to see ashley's first successful hovering.

and bill had:

pizza, too
comments: bill likes the pizza. click to see 2 people hovering at once! if you wanna see a whole jump, here you go. it's a huge gif, though. 7Megs or something. kinda looks like an equalizer once it all gets loaded. also, note the shrinking fence. and my camera shadow. it's all in the details. but overall, I think I need to work on snyching everyone better. imagine 6 people hovering!!

but I believe in one lunch

comments: on the weekend, I went up to the lookout at harbour centre. it was pretty cool.

and the "tower" was:

dwarfed by all the real towers on our planet
comments: man, if those guys building the tower of babel way back when could see the tallest towers in the world, they woulda given up before they even started. click the tower poster to see the brownlee's apartment. yeah, I stalk chris every chance I get. too bad he's not home. he's on his honeymoon. you can follow along on his blog. btw, his building is not the sun tower. it's the one behind it. but an interesting note about the sun tower... did you know that harry houdini once performed an escape hanging upside down from it? cool, huh?
