Jaguar Pizza and Other Nerdy Things 59

Snaggy writes "Nitrozac and I wanted to celebrate the release of Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar in geeky style, so we designed the ultimate Jaguar pizza! Here's what we did, and how you can make one too... The Jaguar Genius Pizza! enJoy!" If you are the kind of person who thinks this is a good idea, you'll probably want to go to "100 Minutes of Jaguar" tonight at 10:20 p.m., at an Apple Store near you. I'm going.

  • Perhaps these guys should be taking cooking lessons instead of worrying about 100 minutes of jaguar. With knife skills like those shown in the photos he'll be needing to type without fingertips before too long


  • Orange Crush Rocks. 'Nuff Said.

  • What were they thinking? That's an even bigger faux pas than showing up tonight at an Apple store with a Thinkpad asking if Jaguar has been ported to x86 yet.

    Am I missing something? Is this post really just about somebody making a pizza? If so, I can't wait to upload exciting pictures of me picking lint out of my belly button! How about toasting a bagel! Boy I'm getting excited!
  • Oh how I wish I could be at a Jaguar release party tonight. Unfortunately, the nearest Apple Store is about 400 miles away, and I have to be at training here tomorrow morning to work at the Apple Store they're opening here. So no Jaguar party for me. By the way, that's a gross pizza. You couldn't pay me to eat it :)

      We had a pizza chain here in Boston back in the '80s (and before, I presume) that did "English pizza". It was a small, thin-crust pizza with a very tangy sauce and a mild white cheddar cheese on top.

      It was very yummy. They had a couple of Boston locations, and quite a few others.

      However, I find the idea of olives on my pizza to be repugnant.
      • Me, too, as well as Mushrooms. There is a restaurant here in St. Louis that serves a Barbecued Chicken pizza, which is basically barbecued chicken, barbecue sauce, and cheddar cheese on french bread. It's quite tasty, although not necessarily what I'd recommend to someone craving pizza. It's also ridiculously filling. I'm usually full after eating half, and eating the other half is just punishment :)
      • I remember this place:

        It was Ruggles in Harvard Square.
        They had cheddar cheese on top of a whole wheat crust and some other bizarre toppings too.

        I personally preferred Mr. & Mrs. ___ for burgers,
        , Wei Ta for chinese, and Iruna for Spanish, esp. their garlic soup and their white sangria. And Toscanini's for ice cream... mmm... ginger snap molasses ice cream... mmm...

        And the Orson Welles theater. And the Harvard Square cinema before it became a Star cinema, etc.

    • Tell me about it, the nearest one must be about 5,000 miles from me :-)

      To make it worse, a good friend of mine is in NYC with his iBook and DV cam. He'll probably be popping along to the SoHo store sometime this weekend to buy an iPod...

      So unfair!

      You didn't miss much, dude. I just got back from the Mall of America fiesta. I got there an hour early, and the line already stretched a quarter of the way around the mall...by 10pm, it stretched fully to the opposite enterance (the Apple store is right by the south enterance, first floor).

      They didn't throw the doors up until 10:20pm, despite the size of the line. I didn't get in the door until 10:50. I paused long enough to get my entries into the "win an iMac" and "win an eMac" contests, then got in line. I got out of there at 11:57pm.

      I literally feel like I just ran a marathon. (I've run them before, so I can compare.) There was nothing particularly exciting about the festivities other than the bizarre questions about the line. (Some old woman asked if it was "the line to get out of the mall." Yeah, lady, it's capitalism at gunpoint...if they find out you spent less than $100, they send you back in to the mall until you have.)

      Anyway, it was nothing more than kibbitzing with a bunch of other Mac users, your feet getting tired, and trying to avoid a claustrophobia attack.

      But I was there. And I got Jaguar. So it wasn't all bad. :-)

      Oh yeah, and it was 10% off everything in the store if you bought Jaguar.
      • Sounds like the opposite of my experience tonight. With no Apple Store yet, the "Mac Store", an Apple reseller for over 10 years, put on a party of their own. There was about 50-60 people(plenty in a small building like this), with lots of door prizes(t-shirts, mouse pads and such), and all the soda, popcorn, and pizza rolls you could eat for free. On the other hand, as a small reseller, they were only sent 20 copies of Jaguar. They'll call me when they get their next shipment, about Tuesday or so.

    While pizza is an acceptable foodstuff for Geeks as defined by paragraph 7.2a of the "Foods to Chow Down On During Intense Coding" clause of the Unified Geek Code, I think the spirit of this pizza violates paragraph 7.3, "Acceptable Foods that Don't F*ck Up My Mouse and Keyboard," as well as paragraph 7.7, "Portable Foods", although I'm sure there's a few of us out there that can one-hand a deluxe slice.

    Besides, where's the Jaguar Beer? Can't have pizza without beer! That's against regulation 1.2, "Advanced Sys Admin Slack Off Procedures."
  • [mind races trying to think of lame joke about them serving 'root' beer with the pizza...]
  • What a terrible idea! Cheddar on pizza? I understand you want a jaguar-orange, but can't you just use more orange peppers?

    Bleah. Bad food that looks pretty is sooo Windows XP.

    How I wish I had the time to install 10.2 this weekend, but alas, I need to paint the new apartment.
    • I've always found cheddar Pizza to be delicious. Maybe it's because I tend to put lots of other stuff on the pizza and use the cheese more as a garnish than as the bulk of the food. Then again, maybe I'm just a pervert: I like blue cheese on pizza too. Hell, just put me down for "cheese on pizza" as a general rule.
  • and that counts as Stuff that matters?
  • Worst... story... ever.

    Look, I know Utah isn't exactly the center of culture. I mean, we've got weird liquer laws. We've got jackasses in the southern end that like to marry their 14 year old cousins - all 5 of them.

    But why punish us and not give us an Apple store, Apple? It might make Novell consider making apps for someone other than, well, they're #1 competitor.
  • I must say, that is so geeky it rocks!
  • For those who don't know:

    There is nothing wrong with Cheddar on a pizza as long as the Chedder is mixed with Mozerella or a similar cheese as Chedder won't melt properly elsewise on the pizza.

    I normally put some chidder on my pizza along with the mozzerlla when I make it.
  • I give it 10 thumbs up!!!!!!
