Apparently Everyone Loves A Nasty Pizza
You may have noticed this site loading slowly and crashing a lot this afternoon. That’s because at some point today, my post about the nastiest pizza in the world hit the main page of Fark.com. It had already been a busy week, as apparently a LOT of people wanted to have a look at this thing. It’s been linked all over the Web for the last few days, and the traffic has been staggering, at least for me.
Have a look:
It blows my mind, really. I revamped this thing to try and get some traffic, slap some ads on here and maybe get a little cash for my obsessions. But man, overnight? I know this is all going to die down in a few days, but right now, it boggles the mind.
I’ve done so much writing on here, so much original photography, etc. And it just amazes me that these photos (which are admittedly pretty cool and nasty) would have this much appeal. But man, you never know what you’re going to get when you get what you think you want — and you never know where you’re gonna be when the lightning strikes.
So yeah, in a nutshell:
1) Sorry about the slow page
2) but it was for a really good, exciting reason
2) one you look past the fact that it was just about some junk food.
I’m sure things’ll be back to normal next week.

Scalzi had bacon on his cat, and you’ve got a pizza made out of a McDonald’s combo meal.
Teh Internets are weird, my friend. Very weird, indeed.

Better late than never… ColdMud has just linked to the Pizza story.
Just magnificent. We look forward to slowing your page loads even more in the future.

Absolutely hilarious, Jeff. I even saw this on some of the sports blogs I frequent.

Nice work, son. Looks like you got your own “Instalanche” going there.

Yeah.. I saw it on a sports blog myself. Yes, it does look like a nasty pizza but I’m sure I’d still totally eat it. Especially after a long night out.

I can’t believe my pics got this far around the ‘net.
Here’s where the pizza pics originated:
