I am Awarded! With Pizza
Posted by thedarwinexception on August 5, 2007
So you guys came through! I now have awards! Some really nice ones, too! Check these out!


How’s those for awards? They are both going in my sidebar as of tomorrow.
And thanks to everyone who nominated me for an award or made one for me!
In *OTHER* news……
So last night I’m cooking dinner – turkey teriyaki and bowtie pasta with Alfredo sauce. Oddly enough, I can’t eat meat, or even smell it cooking, but I’ve found that pork and turkey don’t bother me to cook. Must have a different smell…
Anyway, so I’m cooking dinner and I get a knock on the door. It’s the formerly dead lady from next door. She has two pizza boxes in her hands. She speaks with a really, really thick foreign accent. I don’t know what it is but it sounds Russian. So in her really thick Russian foreign accent she says “You share, no?”
So I look at her and at these two pizza boxes and say “Huh?” I mean, I understand “Here, I made extra, take this” but “Share?” And who buys pizza for the neighbors? What the fuck does “share” mean, does she want to come in and eat with us? Is this her leftovers? So I say again “Huh?”
She says “I get much pizza – but no red, I no get red, I get two – you share, no?”
Really confused, I say “Pizza?”
She says again – “yes, yes, no red – two pizza. You get plate, no?” Then she opens the first pizza box and I see a totally white pizza – which is kind of neat, I’ve never had white pizza – and at least now I understand why she keeps saying “no red”. So I say “just a minute” and I go get a plate.
When I bring the plate back she has the pizza cut in two and she slops half the pizza on the plate. I say “Thank You” and try to smile and nod and she says (really loudly, too) “No No! You wait!” And from the tone in her voice, I didn’t dare do anything but wait.
She then opens the second box and it, too, is a white pizza, but it looks to be one of those Hawaiian pizza’s, because it has pineapple, I think, on it, and ham and olives – but no red sauce.
She hacks off about half of this pizza, as well, as puts it on the plate over the other one. She then closes the box and says “We share, no?” and she turns around and leaves.
I bring the pizza on the plate up to Paul, and hand it to him, and he says “You made pizza?” and I say “Yeah, I made pizza, fool.”
He ate both halves of the pizza and then ate the turkey teriyaki, the bowtie noodles with Alfredo sauce and then he ate a couple of donuts for dessert.
He didn’t die from the pizza or anything, so I guess it was OK. I wasn’t going to eat it, though, I don’t eat zombie food.

congrats on the awards
At least she didn’t bring you freshly harvested mugs from her garden. I’d then be worried. . . .

I reeeeealllllyyyy like that golden statue.
Pizaa from a Russian???? Not likely. It was a darn nice gesture considering most foreign born want to kill Americans these days. How’s your husband today?

First of all, congrats on your awards. I hope some of your success will rub up against me. Sorry, rub off on me. Sorry, I just hope I will be successful like you. Secondly, this is a wonderfully odd story. I plan on getting a couple of pizzas and taking one over to my neighbor who already hates me, and I’ll say, “I get much pizza – but no red, I no get red, I get two. You share no?” I love that line. In my Ukranian accent because I can do an impoverished Ukranian girls voice pretty well.

Ha! Very funny story! I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship between you and the formerly dead neighbor lady! LOL! For some reason your story reminded me of something that happened years ago when I was working down town at a hippy bead store. We had one of those crazy, lonely customers who came in weekly just to “visit” us. She never bought anything; She just came by to chat nonsense. After she would leave we would all kind of stand around and scratch our heads and wonder “is she for real?”. Anyway, one year – about two weeks after Thanksgiving she briefly stopped by toting a huge igloo cooler. She said she had been thinking of us and thought we might be busy that day and would probably not be able to take a lunch break so she thought she’d bring us “a treat”. She dropped the cooler off by the door and left without saying much of anything else. Of course not wanting to look into the cooler we stuffed it behind the counter & went about our busy day. Finally, one of the guys (who had been absent during the cooler delivery) discovered the cooler behind the counter and started pilfering (sp?) through it and out came a turkey carcus – just the carcus mind you – with little or NO meat on it – that had been delivered unwrapped laying in the bottom of the cooler that had like 2 ice cubes in it along with some other decomposing Thanksgiving left-overs. Here we were thinking she had baked us a cake (which we weren’t going to eat anyway) but out came a 2 week old scavenged turkey carcus! It was hilarious and disturbing at the same time. Go figure? We I was reading your blog tonight I totally thought your story was going in the same direction! LOL! Thank Gawd she offered fresh award pizza for you! I was so thinking she had brought you something funky out of her fridge!

You’re brave, Kim! I would have been scared to death to serve that pizza to my husband, just for fear that the zombie had poisoned it. (Unless you catch me on a day when he’s pissed me off or something, in which case I’d be temped to taint it myself, but anyway…)
So now you have to take her something to return the favor and be all neighborly-like. Do zombies eat cookies?
