How to Get your Nom On, the Easy Way (and Get Free Food, Too)

elspethjane:

I am a lazy New Yorker when it comes to ordering food.

I want it to be easy, and easy doesn’t usually involve the telephone, finding your credit card, a pen, cash, whatever your weaponry is for paying.  Also, that drawer filled with menus has one too many sketchy pieces of paper and I have no idea if the places are good or not (except for Lenny’s crack sammiches, they’re always good).

Also, trying to call an establishment is a nightmare.  I have a minor heart attack when trying to decipher someone’s accent, or they have the same trying to decipher mine.

Oh, did I mention I was lazy?

So what do I do?  Use Seamlessweb.com.  It keeps my credit card info, shows me the places open and available for delivery, ratings (God bless the ratings), and I can add the tip.  It also has Outback Steakhouse available, which kicks ass.  I’d like to swim in their ranch dressing.  Yuuuuuum.

Kenyatta Cheese also hearts Seamlessweb.com, but always orders from a stupid vegetarian place down the street.  Meh.  I need meat with 2 out of 3 meals.  Okay, 3 out of 3, but you get the point.  I’m a meat-a-tarian most days.

Okay, now go forth, REBLOG Tumblrs (It’s just click), email your post to myseamlessweb@seamlessweb.com,  and you get yo-self $25.

Oh, and here’s the plug straight off of Seamless Webs site:

I kept getting more angry with each clip.

This is more of an affront to humor than anything else.

This was depressing.

Never has a small plume of smoke seemed so fantastic.

NOTE: Google Maps lists the Frying Pan @ 23rd St, this is not the case, it moved uptown to between 26th and 27th. So please don’t head to the wrong location :)

They’re doing it at The Frying Pan which we tried getting for the Rocketboom/blip.tv party (but they couldn’t seem to open in time.) Can’t wait!

Understand, we were not just selling motorized sticks. We were also teaching women how to never be submissive. A woman with a well-stocked toy drawer isn’t dependent on anyone and is unlikely to hurl herself at a lowlife just for nooky. Though I began my job on a lark, it became clear that being a sex-shop salesgirl is, in some way, a curiously feminist calling.

Building the Bomb - On writing screenplays for Hollywood

“Here’s how THE PUPPET MASTERS came to be. Let it serve as an illustrative example, a case study in the Hollywood development process. In its death, then, perhaps the film can find some meaning — perhaps it can do some good.”

Testimony of Paul Robeson before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, June 12, 1956

“My father was a slave and my people died to build this country, and I’m going to stay right here and have a part of it, just like you. And no fascist-minded people will drive me from it. Is that clear? You are the nonpatriots, and you are the un-Americans, and you ought to be ashamed of yourselves.”

Tijuana 'Bibles'

Tijuana bibles were pornographic comic books produced in the United States from the 1920s to the early 1960s. Their subject is explicit sexual escapades usually featuring well known cartoon characters, political figures or movie stars (used without permission). Tijuana bibles were sold illicitly, often passed among soldiers and schoolboys.
