And if you haven't been to Amateur Night, I recommend checking that out (or even auditioning) too.jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08514402256150540930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906004671223225401.post-57357758650645925252009-01-27T21:45:00.000-05:002009-01-27T21:45:00.000-05:00I came across your blog in a search for Apollo ama...I came across your blog in a search for Apollo amateur night. I've never had Grimaldi's pizza, but have also heard good things....and I live in Brooklyn! You should try D'Faras though. Incredible, from the taste, to watching it being made.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775576694953454521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906004671223225401.post-23931302535730553662008-01-26T18:36:00.000-05:002008-01-26T18:36:00.000-05:00Haven't seen Cloverfield yet...Wow, Lori, it's lik...Haven't seen Cloverfield yet...<BR/><BR/>Wow, Lori, it's like you're blogging through me! Cut it out.<BR/><BR/>One Gladiators addendum: former host Mike Adamle has just been hired as an announcer for WWE! I guess he figured, "if Hulk Hogan can take my old job, I can interview the guys that took his old job." Go Mike!jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08514402256150540930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906004671223225401.post-34331506655616971802008-01-23T16:48:00.000-05:002008-01-23T16:48:00.000-05:00one final note--the gladiators are another of my g...one final note--the gladiators are another of my guilty pleasures, and i still enjoy watching reruns of the '80s version on ESPN classic. interestingly, the new "eliminator" seems less difficult than the old one; even though the original did not involve a swimming element (which does make the subsequent course more tricky to navigate by wet contenders), it had more obstacles and slightly harder ones to conquer (at least in my opinion). "assault" remains my favorite game--and the water element is fantastic in the renovated version!--and i am anxiously waiting to see if "atlasphere" returns, because even though it isn't particularly challenging, it is highly entertaining <=]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906004671223225401.post-86329190118781234142008-01-23T16:39:00.000-05:002008-01-23T16:39:00.000-05:00okay, i'm a little freaked out right now, lil bro!...okay, i'm a little freaked out right now, lil bro! when you began this topic with lyrics to a song that is also one of my cheesy favorites, the phrase "jeffy's heart burning warm" instantly popped into my head. when i saw that you'd inserted that lovely prose at the end of your post, it scared me. i would chalk it up to great minds thinking alike, but it somehow seems a bit stranger than that...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906004671223225401.post-39377223126432094412008-01-21T23:53:00.000-05:002008-01-21T23:53:00.000-05:00But the thing is, since the crust on Grimaldi's pi...But the thing is, since the crust on Grimaldi's pizza is so thin, and then don't over-do the cheese, their pizzas are way less filling than the average pizza. So you should feel no shame in eating an entire one.<BR/>Besides, you burned off all those calories walking across the Brooklyn bridge!<BR/>..have you seen Cloverfield yet?Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005721662575187254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906004671223225401.post-84661996690422580412008-01-21T19:52:00.000-05:002008-01-21T19:52:00.000-05:00I actually got some of said ice cream after my piz...I actually got some of said ice cream after my pizza...I omitted this detail because I didn't want everyone to know I ate an entire pizza, then got ice cream too. If gospel rules against gluttony were as well defined as those against gambling/chastity/etc., I could be in trouble.<BR/><BR/>After I got my ice cream and was walking back past the line of people waiting to get into Grimaldi's, two cute girls near the back of the line stared hungrily at my two scoops of chocolate, and one of them mouthed the words "That looks so--%$#&ing--good." I offered her a bite, but she declined. Her loss.jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08514402256150540930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906004671223225401.post-16690079182731963412008-01-21T11:42:00.000-05:002008-01-21T11:42:00.000-05:00I'm glad you went to Grimaldi's.

I was sad to see it destroyed in Cloverfield. Oh well. <BR/><BR/>PS--there's a great ice cream place on the pier just across the street from Grimaldi's. It's pretty good stuff.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005721662575187254noreply@blogger.com
