Not to sound superficial, but that's why I have a college degree - to not be like what you just mentioned above. I only did pizza delivery as quickie startup job before I started my main day job, and then turned into a second nighttime job. After a while, I didn't need it anymore.

Thanks. I was about to ask what the hell that meant. Any idea on the etymology?

Bog, I'd venture to guess. E.g. people who live in bogs, swamps. Akin to floridians.

Nah man, doesn't sound superficial at all. Tons of kids do the pizza thing as a quickie startup job in the early years. It just gets creepy when you see some guy that could be you're dad out there slinging pies.

Ahem, if you're talking about me, my screen name says nothing about etymological intuition.

It is most definitely the first step, my friend.
Unless you lose your lighter. Then life sucks.

I worked at Hungry Jacks (Burger King) for a year. I was always put on the "broiler", which is the big grille the meat goes through.
working that fucking machine in Australian weather is a death sentence.
I would run into the freezer every now and then, and just stand there. I also worked at a computer shop. That sucked, especially since my boss was not paying me anywhere near my worth. He now has 3 new employees doing what I used to do by myself and they all get paid more than I did.
