We have a St Louis style pizza around these parts.
Super thin, crispy crust, red sauce, your choice of toppings, topped with Provel cheese, and cut into squares.
You love it or you hate it, we love it. Outsiders usually don't.

So long as it is freshly made I like any kind of pizza.

Frozen discs from the freezer section at the store? Not even good enough to play Frisbee with.

Our home made (thin) pizza is usually with tomatoes, red peppers, onion, meatballs, a lot of garlic, cheese (emmenthaler type) and cured ham, basil, oregano and black pepper. No sauce of any kind.

No sauce?

I never!

Guess I need to try it now.

And according to some I'm young

Yes, and yes.

Mmmmm . . . . . bummer, bummer.

Perhaps I should rip it, then upload to my YouTube account, then post it here.

Nah.

Then the video cops would come looking for me.

It is pretty silly. And did you see the pipes? Higher than the sissy bar.

That pic was shot about 8 or 9 years ago, on I-70 in Missouri, near Kansas City.

I can't imagine trying to control a bike so poorly configured.

I humbly think you need the whole quote.

It is "or die".

"Ours is not to question why.

Ours is but to do or die."

Boo rah!

At the moment it is 50,824 reasons why we won't buy a K-3.

Me?

I'm saving for a K-1.

latest ?? news on the July and August contests

The giveaway will be simple: the camera will be up for grabs once the community reaches 40,000 posts in any given month. This should prove quite easy: it's equivalent to all of May's posters making just 5 posts throughout June. As an added bonus, if we reach 55,000 posts in any month, that K-1 will turn in to a K-1 Mark II (a $1996 value).

Note that the information below has been updated for the July and August iterations of the giveaway.

When we reach the target number of posts, we will create four raffle threads, each separated by 6 hours (giving users in various time zones the opportunity to enter). The first 75 users to reply to each thread will get one raffle entry, and then the winner will be picked at random. If you don't win the camera, we'll have forum account upgrades our most active participants— plus, you are guaranteed to have plenty of fun on the forum along the way.

Users will need to have made at least 10 posts during the giveaway period in order to be eligible to post in the raffle threads.
Track current giveaway progress at the top of any page on the forum:
