THE WEBMASTER
i am in my late thirties. i live alone. i have a good relationship with most of my neighbors.
i have been interested in pizza specifically since childhood but the interest changed character in late 1999 in a way i cannot fully describe on a sidebar. 
i found this image in 2001. cannot locate its origin.
CURRENT STATUS
the group meets every third saturday. locations rotate. if you are in the midwest and you know what you are looking for you may have already seen a flyer.
43 members as of january 2003. the number goes up slowly. i am not recruiting.
"in the subgenius we were always waiting for the saucers. i spent a decade and a half waiting for something that was never going to come from the sky.
it came from a kitchen. it was forty-seven minutes late and it cost fourteen dollars." -- notes, jan 2000 |
ABOUT ME
i prefer not to share my real name on the internet. i am referred to as "the webmaster" on this site. people who know me personally use something else. members of the group use a third name. i am accustomed to this.
i was a member of an organization for seventeen years before leaving in january 2000. i do not name it on this site anymore. i named it once in 2001 and received a phone call i found unsettling. i have removed the reference since then. i do not hold ill will toward the people i met there. some of them still email. they are looking for something i found. i try to be patient.
ARCHIVED POST -- alt.pizza.discussion -- october 1999
i found this in my usenet archives while reorganizing. keeping it here. the username of the original poster is garbled in my client. the message body came through fine.

THE NIGHT IN QUESTION
october 8, 1999. i ordered a large pepperoni from a franchise location that has since closed due to a health code violation i will not describe further. the delivery was forty-seven minutes late. i was tired and irritated.
when i opened the box i saw something that i have spent four years trying to describe with words that are not quite right. i set this website up that night, before the pizza arrived. i do not know how to explain that. the domain registration timestamp is available in whois. i have checked it multiple times.
the username is not garbled. it has been exactly that since 1999.
no one has asked about it before you. the post is real. the timestamp is real. the name is decodable. you decoded it. |
