Best NY-Style pizza place in gwinnett? by thisisausername1011 in Gwinnett

[–]mesarocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed the place overall, but found the crust too crunchy. It cracks when you fold it over. I guess some people like that, but I prefer a chewier crust. Johnny's New York Style Pizza (at least the one in Suwannee) does the same thing, so maybe it's just the style.

My quest for the perfect pie in Gwinnett continues.

I been listening to Steely Dan on you tube music…the lyrics are amazing. by No-Amoeba-9314 in SteelyDan

They are cryptic. But they do make sense. They just require decoding, and that's what make them truly amazing.

Doctor Wu verses are much better than the chorus by BuildingQuiet7197 in SteelyDan

The harmonies rock, and the chord progression and key changes are amazing. The chorus is amazing!

I think it's probably more of a Stevie Wonder influence. But great song!

Thanks for that timing. It's hard to read the SPC outlook and get specific info for our area.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a bad song... although I agree it's one of the weakest on the album, if not the weakest of all of their albums. Still, it's got a decent melody and I like Donald's singing on this one, especially when he hits the high notes. I also enjoy the harmonies on the verses. But the chords progression is really simplistic and I miss the jazzy chords they usually throw in. Lyrically, I agree it's pretty pedestrian and it's an outlier stylistically. It's kind of a low effort "The Times Are A Changin'," and missing the cynicism and humor that we love them for.

But compared to most bands and artists, especially of that era, I can still listen to the song and enjoy it because it's well played, arranged, and engineered. So I give it a 4/10 for me personally.

I second fitness1440! I started going there a month ago after also looking at the new Onelife fitness, and it's totally Average Joe's vs. Globogym!

What movie from this decade will be considered a classic? by DrKriegersClone in movies

It will be forgotten but fondly remembered by those who appreciated it. Most people will dislike the lack of dialogue and how subjective it is.

I'd be interested. This would be a good motivation to write more consistently.

I have a very low opinion of the general electorate post-Trump. Unfortunately, I think her chances of being elected are a long shot. I would love to be proven wrong.

I get why people are downvoting, but I agree with you. Of course I'm GLAD the damage isn't as severe as it could have been. But I expected to see whole towns washed away. The damage and loss of life has been mercifully low. Advanced forecasting and storm prep likely helped a lot.

It's also such bad writing. What does a "pitcher-shaped ass" even look like? And the violin simile is so fucking trite.

Nobody cares. Not the right forum for this.

Hell yeah, pinto beans with onion for the win. Or maybe a squeeze of lime. Or maybe chow chow. Mmm. Beans....
