Pizzeria Uno could be latest in string of bankrupt restaurants {BloggingStocks}

Aug 20th 2008 10:24PM Put aside the regional biases over which style of pizza is best. Of course Chicago-style pizza is different from Manhattan-style or California-style pizza. Just because you don't like Uno's doesn't mean that all Chicago-style pizza is terrible. That would as ridiculous as judging all pizzas in Manhattan (the Mecca of American pizzas) by a single visit to Papa John's. And just for the record, I prefer the English Elizabethan-style pizzas from Barnaby's, which began in Chicago in 1969! It's all a matter of personal taste!

And don't complain about waiting 45 minutes or more for a deep dish, because that is normal for Chicago-style. If anything, the wait is shorter at Uno's, thanks to the Malnati family in Chicago, who introduced a modified "butter crust" recipe in the 80's, which when combined with modern ovens, shortened the wait.

The big picture that is being missed here is that Uno's was where Chicago-style pizza began back in 1943 at the corner of Ohio & Wabash. Sure, even if Uno's goes away, the deep dish Chicago-style pizza will never go extinct. For me though, a piece of history will be lost forever. (Or, as the cartoon character Mr. Peabody might call it, "a pizza history will be lost forever." :)

Record-Breaking Boob Job Banned over Safety Fears {Asylum}

Jun 15th 2008 3:11PM Where do the commenters here get off calling her freaky? Big boobs on a woman are not more freaky than a woman with not boobs at all. (Having a third boob, now that would be REALLY freaky... initially. :)

Seriously, ask any college anthropologist what a fertility figurine looks like, and you'd see a representation of a woman that makes Maxi Mounds the norm, not the exception. Men have carved women like her out of stone since the days of hunting & gathering.
