Pizza! Love the link. As a former New Jersey resident, I find the pizza in Montana appalling. Plus, everyone here uses Ranch dressing on their pizza! Totally gross.

In reading the line about enticing pandas to mate, all I can hear in my head is Long Duck Dong saying, “Oh Sexy Pan-daaaa…” Thanks, Mental Floss! That’s gonna be with me all day.

Montana Pizza? 25 years later I still crave Shrimp & Smoked Oyster Pizza from Karl Marx Pizza in Bozeman. I’ve never been able to find anything that comapred. Now the Dominican Republic — thats some nasty pizza.

Mmm Ranch dressing is awesome for dipping the crusts in.
Re: sleeping with pets – how about sleeping with children? The family bed is controversial. My husband is often away working at night, and sometimes it’s just so lonely and chilly that I pop the toddler out of the crib and into the queen size. She just tucks her head under my chin and gently snores. Okay, I do this every night. It’s like having a live stuffie. Soft, warm, and smells good (until around 7, when she smells like pee). Sure, I wake up stiff and sore from contorting around the baby, but for sheer comfort and joy, the closest next best thing would be swimming in chocolate mousse… maybe! Am I bad mom?

Ranch w/pizza is delicious! So is ranch with french fries. I guess just ranch in general is awesome, but I try not to use too much of it.. it’s heavy on the calories.
I wish our dog could sleep with us. My husband has some slight allergies though, so our dog is not allowed on the bed.

It’s been about 15 years since Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka killed those girls and people here are still reeling from it. Her poor parents not only lost Karla, but lost their other daughter, which was one of the victims. Her parents haven’t moved and they’re still listed in the phone book…people still occasionally pull over in front of the Homolka house to take pictures. It’s creepy. The father is a nice guy…he once bought my order in front of me in a Tom Hortons drive-thru.
