Space Cases

They give you $4.20 off your order if you order within four minutes of 4:20 p.m. I think that explains it all.

...lo and behold, the future is here! This weekend, even, you can have pizzas delivered to you by characters such as Galactic Girl and Captain Fantastic, real Minneapolis folks who will arrive at your house in actual electric cars, and will ring your doorbell while wearing actual homemade lamé capes, jumpsuits, sparkles, and fancy boots (imagine outfits that split the difference between Barbarella, Bjork, and your last last-minute Halloween costume). When you greet them, they will unpack actual pizzas for you that are topped with tasty things that you can feel good about feeding to your loved ones, like mozzarella cheese that comes from local farmers. That is, you can feed it to them if your loved ones can recover enough from the shock of finding someone in a super-hero costume in their home to close their gaping mouths.

Actually, we shouldn't make light of Galactic Pizza. They sound like their hearts are in the right place, using locally grown toppings, green delivery methods, and giving back to the community. The costumes are a cute idea. If this schtick is working in Minneapolis, I bet it'd go over really well in a college town.

[Thanks to La Depressionada for hipping us to this.]
