There are on occasion these little sublime moments that I’m lucky to experience and appreciate for what they are as they unfold. Such was the case last night. I had a few friends, most of whom are Georgia fans, over at my house. I order some pizza to be delivered. The pizza delivery guy shows up – I shit you not – wearing a Georgia Tech windbreaker. And I get him off my porch in the traditional way. I could barely withhold the laughter until I got my door closed.
My life is the opposite of a Stingtalk punchline. For which I’m eternally grateful.

If he was a Tech student or graduate the chances are he would not be able to understand most of what you said to him, his first language being something other than English.

Surprisingly, yes, I do. I don’t even have to pay them to hang out with me. 😉

In the great Tech tradition though, it sounds like you enticed them with free pizza to hang around your campus for a few hours. Might have even thrown in a few shots of Woodford Reserve, or those other delightful small batch offerings I heard discussed here recently.

You simply have to pay for the pizza.

I went from startled realization to total gut-busting amusement rather quickly. There wasn’t time to think of a photo shoot, sadly.

In this instance, “working for us one day” means that calling in the pizza order and producing the sufficient currency to complete the transaction were “work” you performed and you did it for the Techie. See, Stingtalk gets it right.

How do you “traditionally” get Tech Men off your front porch, Senator? Shotgun, boot tip up his ass, what?

You pay him for the pizza, of course.

And turn off the porch light to insure your neighbors don’t think you have crossed over.

And you did tip him appropriately?

So the fat chick wanted someone to bring a pizza to her door, yet she knew she didn’t have money for a tip? He should’ve taken a dump on her door step instead. Hey, if you don’t have enough for the tip then drive your lazy butt to the place and pick it up. Or eat ramen noodles.

What a dumb bitch. Yeah, he’s going to come back and clean it up after getting stiffed and then fired.
I don’t condone the bloke for pissing on her door, but the “I didn’t have money for the tip, but I did for the pizza” mentality is completely out of whack. Fuck people like this.

I am also a proud UGA graduate and I delivered pizza one summer before going to UGA. Best tip(s) I ever got was when a female customer answered the door buck nekkid. Bet the tech insects don’t get tips like that (and wouldn’t know what to do if they did).

Does “tip (s)” mean that delivery went more than one inning, or have you just forgotten all the details?
This could actually be an excellent job in Athens for us senior guys, we would do it for free and are basically harmless anyway….around campus just looking would probably be enough for us.

Delivering pizza in Athens in those days would usually earn you a few Penthouse Forum encounters. Not just the students, either.
