What did you have for dinner last night?

[Abraham Smashington]

Only time Pizza Hut was worth it was when the sit-down joints had their lunch buffet. Those were the days.

AND FUCKING BOOK-IT BACK IN THE DAY.

[Lisa]

Thanks to you guys we've become Papa Johns converts.

You're a bad man!!

They also carry anchovies!

And so are you!

[Shit Dickface]

AND FUCKING BOOK-IT BACK IN THE DAY.

Now you guys know why I read so much. That shit carries over, and it was the only time being a fat kid really paid off.

[Abraham Smashington]

Shit, I was a reading machine back in the day thanks to Book-IT. I still read alot today, but mostly "pulpy" shit that is entertaining.

[Matt]

haven't a clue what you're talking about with 'book-it'.

I read many a Boxcar Children's mystery in those days. Scholastic book orders FTW!

Then I went on to read Animorphs in middle school. Don't know why, but I did.

The square pizza doesn't bother me. I honestly cannot remember ever having a pizza cut into squares and it being soggy. Of course, not many places do the square cut, and I'm a food snob when I pay someone else to cook for me so that probably goes into consideration. Shit, now I want to go by Brother's Pizza on the way home tonight. Brother's is a location here in Houston (WAAAAAY out west) run by some brothers from Brooklyn. Shit is delicious, but you can tell when the brothers are both off, because the pizza goes from being delicious and crispy to smothered in cheese and limp and greasy. Still delicious but messy.

[Nathan]

Oh yeah. Didn't you get Pizza Hut if you read so many books?

[Abraham Smashington]

Pizza Hut has been a longtime sponsor of the "Book It!" program (started in 1984[23]), which encourages reading in American schools. Those who read books according to the goal set by the classroom teacher are rewarded with Pizza Hut coupons good for a free Personal Pan Pizza or discounted menu items. In the late 1980s, Pizza Hut threw free pizza parties for classes if all students met their reading goals. The program has been criticized by some psychologists on the grounds that it may lead to overjustification and reduce children's intrinsic interest in reading.[24] However, a study of the Pizza Hut program, Book It!, found that participation in the program neither increased nor decreased reading motivation.[24] The program's 25th anniversary was in 2009.

And being poor during this time, reading = AWESOME DINNER

[Ed Hocken]

Christ, even the old man remembers Book-It.

And personal pan pizza's came in their own little cardboard box.

They later sold them in tins in high school. Man, were they gross.

[Matt]

still don't know what BOOK-IT is.

eta: nevermind, Rob linked it.

sorry, Ed. I wasn't a part of that program. Also, we RARELY ate at Pizza Hut. Indeed, I'd be surprised if I ate there more than five times in my life.

[Ed Hocken]

Rob just posted what BOOK-IT is.

Making kids read good by giving them pizza. It's a goddamn WIN-WIN situation.
