Rod Stewart Wears Thought Screen Helmet

Rod Stewart Fights Alien Abductions By Wearing Thought Screen Helmet

English rocker Rod Stewart is convinced that aliens are contacting him and possibly controlling his very life and his lyrics are proof in the pudding.

The Grassy Knoll Institute offers the tune, 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy', one of Rod's major hits in the 1970's as proof. Did Stewart compose this song to secretly warn humanity that aliens are controlling humans and that the thought screen helmet is the only defense. You be the judge.


Sugar, sugarShe sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous avoiding all the questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
come on sugar let me know.
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on honey tell me so
Tell me so baby

Phone: 330-746-6900.
The order: Chicken strips with fries and a side order of fried cheese sticks with sauce.
The Service: Standard take out. The order was ready on time.
The Taste: Not bad. The meal was hot, the chicken crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The fries were cooked and not soggy. The fried cheese was hot and the sauce was tangy. The grease could use more frequent changes.

Pappa's Pizza - Pepperoni Roll

Pappas Pizza Pepperoni Roll
Pappas Pizza Pepperoni Roll
Location: Corner of Chicago & Market Street, Youngstown, Ohio.
The order: Pepperoni roll and a large order of Jojo fries.
The Service: Pappa’s touts and offers free delivery service. Let me begin by saying that we ordered and were told our order would be delivered at noon. They were a little late. Two hours late!

Wait, it gets worse. To top it off, we received the wrong order when it did arrive. The delivery guy simply said that he must have delivered our order by mistake to someone else and that someone else had our order. I knew right away that we were dealing with a real Einstein here. Delivery boy then said that he would go and retrieve our order and switch it with the order we received. Then everything would be fine. A quick phone call to Pappa’s halted this scenario. We demanded fresh and hot food instead of the incorrectly delivered order that someone had already accepted.

More time passed. Finally, our order was delivered but there was something still missing. There were no apologies, no free coupons, nothing. The delivery guy didn’t say a single word. At least they were consistent.
The Taste: Do you see the picture? It does not do the pepperoni roll justice. This had to be the thinnest pepperoni roll in the universe. It wasn’t even half an inch tall. It was also soggy. For a moment, I thought it was a sponge. The grease was oozing from it’s innards as if it had been shot with a .357 Magnum and dying a slow and painful death. I should have had pity on it and put it out of it’s misery but a picture had to be taken.

Onward to the Jojo fries. One word. PATHETIC! If this was the large order, I would hate to see the regular order. And, these were not Jojo fries but a cheap imitation. They were also cold.

Presentation: The pepperoni roll was wrapped in aluminum foil to apparently keep the mummification process intact. The so-called Jojo’s were in a white plastic container.

The Value: The price was $4.50 for both. Since the food was not edible, it was $4.50 to much.

The Rating: 0 out of 5 shots. The order was two hours late, the order was wrong, and no restitution was rendered.

The Grassy Knoll Diner DOES NOT recommend Pappa’s pizza for lunch or dinner. EVER!!!

Pizza Joes Pepperoni Roll
Pizza Joes Pepperoni Roll
Everyone goes to Pizza Joe’s
Phone# (330) 744-0099
Location: 2545 Belmont Ave Youngstown, OH 44505
The order: Pepperoni roll.
The Service: Typical pickup service. The order was ready when promised. The only thing was, the roll was cold as if it was sitting awhile waiting to be sold. I had to microwave it for 20 seconds to heat it up.
The Taste: After it was warmed it, it was pretty good. A fair amount of pepperoni except at the ends of the roll.
Presentation: Typical plastic wrapper with Pizza Joe’s Logo.
The Value: The price was only $2.25 for the roll. No sauce though which was a negative.
The Rating: 3 out of 5 bullets just because of the value. Grassy Knoll Diner recommends Pizza Joe’s.

Chipped Chopped Ham Sandwich
Location: Grassy Knoll Institute secret corporate office vending machines.
The order: Chipped ham and cheese sandwich.
The Service: Vending machine, self serve.
The Taste: Not bad for vending. A little stale but could have been due to the coldness of the sandwich.
Presentation: Cello wrapped in black plastic container with expiration date.
The Value: $1.00 for the sandwich. Two pieces of bread, one piece of cheese, two pieces of thin sliced chipped ham. Not bad.

The Rating: 2.5 out of 5 shots. The Grassy Knoll Diner barely recommends the ham and cheese.
