A Fit of Uncontrollable Laughter, and Pizza


I guess there is no way to start this off without sounding embarrassing, but one of my favorite things in this whole wide world is pizza. Thankfully one of my best friends and roommates enjoys the cheesy carb-loaded delight just as much as I do. We sort of have this tradition that no matter when or how, at the end of a night going out, we end up back at our apartment with a box of joy. 

This habit has been a long time in the making. I really don't know any college student who doesn't enjoy eating late with friends. It is one of the most common bonding activities people can do (in my opinion.) My friend and I have our usual place that we go to off of Berry Street. It is actually getting quite entertaining every time we call to order because they know exactly who it is calling and exactly what we want. "One medium cheese pizza with two sides of garlic sauce" 

The laughter we share during these experiences is too much to even document. However, this past weekend after the football game my friend and I had a pizza experience that can be topped by no other, which caused us to laugh uncontrollably. It will go down as one of the funniest and weirdest things we have ever done. 

It was getting to be a very wet game for the frogs, and my friend and I were starting to become extremely hungry. We decided it was time for us to leave and do what we do bet. As we left the stadium I called up the number, which I dial so frequently to place our order. It must have been an off day because they asked who was calling and did not know any information regarding our traditional order. Nevertheless, I carried along giving the person all the needed information. After he hung up my friend and I continued to walk up Stadium drive in pursuit to the pizza. As we were crossing the street, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the pizza delivery car. I locked eyes with my friend, and we ran towards the car. My friend (braver than myself) knocked on the window, and the driver rolled it down and asked what we wanted. She briefly explained how we just ordered a pizza and asked for a ride. I was shocked and cracking up at the same time. I can't believe we flagged down a pizza deliveryman and asked him for a ride back to the restaurant so we didn't have to walk. Thankfully the man was in good spirits and let us in the car. 

My friend and I could barely get a word in without cracking up. The delivery guy was enjoying our fit of laughter and questioned how much we loved pizza. Once we got to the pizza place we thanked our driver and went on our way. After paying for our pizza my friend and I were at it again, and found a TCU shuttle to take us back to our apartment (which I might add was not apart of the route) We were so grateful for the two free rides we got, and couldn't stop laughing about what had happened for the rest of the afternoon. I guess the conclusion we came to after what had happened is that there really isn't anything we wouldn't do for a pizza.

  1. Danielle, that is so funny! I can't even imagine flagging down a pizza man, but I'm sure that I would be in a similar state. That is, laughing until I was crying!

  2. Pizza is probably the best thing ever deemed edible. There are so many forms of it as well: regular pizza (with wide variety of toppings and flavors), pizza sticks (think Toppers sticks), pizza rolls, hot pockets, bagel bites, calzones, pita/flatbread pizza, and not to mention the amount of pizza flavored items, just to name a few. I often stay, and strongly believe, that I could eat pizza, in any form, for every meal for the rest of my life. It is slightly an obsession, and I have (obviously) put quite a bit of thought into it. So I completely approve of your love for the great food, and found this story absolutely hilarious. Keep calm and pizza on, my friend!

  3. Statistics show that eating with someone is an incredibly bonding experience. I think its awesome to have a tradition in your room between eating pizza and just bonding. My roommate and I have bonding experience usually when he decides that we need to go to canes by any means possible even if we don't have a car. That is why I have no frog bucks.

  4. I agree with you one of my favorite things to do with my friends is eat!! I think that going out to eat is such a social experience and it is almost necessary to keep up friendships. I really enjoyed your story and I know I have several similar ones of my own!! When you have food on your mind there's generally nothing you wouldn't do to get it. I admire your bravery because I don't think I could have ever asked a complete stranger for a ride!!
