I bought Snowcrash because of Second Life and it is only available in the unwieldy trade paperback form in my town. I'm sorry to say I couldn't finish it. It just wasn't what I was looking for at the time. I prefer stories with events that are in sequence. Jumping around the sequence of events might be a cool fad, but it could also be a cop out (unless it's a time travel story). I also couldn't identify with any of the characters.
I know it's supposed to be great fiction and all -- so don't fret over it. I will pick it up again someday when my RL job isn't blasting my brain into gray goo. Can any of the events happen? From what I read there are already some things cooler about Second Life than the metaverse described in Snowcrash. But what do I know? I'm an older guy -- I can barely predict the present. |

Dammit to hell, I should have seen that coming. It happened on page 156 of Snowcrash. I don't know why, but this is the funniest thing I've read in some time. So, y'know, lol _____________________

pagliaccis makes the best pizza in Seattle Hi Swan. The best pizza in Seattle is kind of a oxymoron but I will bite. Where is pagliacous? I have always heard that the North Shore Tav had the best until I went there and was served with only what I can call California pizza at it's worst...one pound of assorted garbage per slice. I don't know how anyone can call this pizza unless maybe they are from California and have never tasted the real thing. So far Dominoes is the best pizza I can find in Seattle. _____________________

Fat Pizza should rule because "they're big and they're cheezy!"

I remember the first time I went to California to vist my brother at Travis AFB when I was in College. He took me to lunch and when he asked what I wanted. I said Pizza. He shook his head sadly and said "No, you don't". _____________________

More like a vegetable pizza - only the name is the same , its not really the same kind of food. |

There is 2 but I am not sure of spelling is correct. One is on Capitol Hill on Broadway near the QFC, the name is something like Pagalacci or something. Romeo's has even better pizza. There is also good Pizza place on first avenue about 3 or 2 blocks from Bell Street next to this Bakery but I forgot the name. I have had a lot of Seattle Pizza and those are the best 3 pizza places. edit Pagliacci Pizza is proper spelling link for it is here http://www.pagliacci.com/locations/delivery/ _____________________

I agree - I did manage to finish the book and I have to admit that I could identify with one of the characters - that was YT's hard working, long suffering mother - especially when, at the end, her daughter telephones and asks for a lift home, and mum gets the car out and drives off to pick her up! I like pizza. It's sort of comforting to know that wherever I go in the world, I just have to post on this forum and someone will be able to tell me where to get a good pizza. _____________________

Domino's never sold the "Bigfoot".. that was Pizza Hut.
I worked there at the time. We had to get whole new delivery bags and special baking pans, it was a nightmare. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phDAyOf6j1A _____________________

i have just read through this thread and it has made me laugh non stop!
I guess i am going to have to find snow crash. i had no idea why it kept coming up and why people kept mentioning it till now lol. Sounds a bit wierd. Pizza is great, but the only ones near me are the stupid fast food greasy ones or the ones you can't pick up because they are so overloaded with junk. Im kinda acclimatised to Pizza Hut ![]() _____________________

These pages of Snowcrash will come true: 14, 65, 88, 90, 105, 144, 165. The rest of it will not. Also page 6 of the latest Time magazine contained one truth in paragraph 3. Actually the pages are 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 ,256. Also I believe that some people have already been killed for delivering the pizza late in New York and Chicago. _____________________
