Pizzeria Parlor by John Royce Holtz, J.D., was released Friday, August 22, 2025 on johnroyceholtz.com The tune is a fun and serious song at the same time. Interesting Exo-Planet Bass/Space Effect throughout…Xylophone morphs into Leah’s drums and punch, Echo guitar with a dab of reverb…The e guitars sync for a feel, real good vibe….unusual for songs to sound this joyfully confident about American traditions…
Pizza, is of course, cheesy… Perhaps that is why I say, “Pizza is for Champions…” It sure tastes like it, especially when anchovies are protruding upon the gobs of cheese like surfboards commandeering nature like only human ingenuity can….!
“It’s the equivalent of Saag Paneer (Indian Cheese Spinach that is more hearty for Champions than even pizza!…..)”Everybody can drink (Indian) Chai!”…”for PopEye when he Fights for the honor of Olive Oil….Brutus is going down.”
This explains practically every slightly varying scenario of the PopEye the Sailor Man cartoon…How good triumphs over evil, eventually, most every time, under most circumstances…It is my belief that human Morality shall eventually prevail over our collective lack thereof….
“No more party fouls,” is portrayed in one of my trademark, faux accents—this time Jamaican…My friend has been to Jamaica… The proclamation of “No more party fouls” has multiple entendres—many of which are not intended…Many of us have at some juncture deviated from the confines of ethical conformity. However, we have a moral imperative to get back on track and an imperative to do better…
It means having zero tolererance for recreational drugs…
Preventing party fouls also mean not stuffing your face with excessive pizza pies, however delicious…The other day I slept right through lunch. One of my administrators denied me a late feed, knowing that I was relegated to the office, exclusively, and have been for three fourths of a year.
So, I gathered my petty cash together and ordered a pizza delivery from up the street for $26. They had two pies for one special and I was advised not to share because of dietary restrictions. So I ate both of them, mushroom and anchovies on each. (At least, the anchovies were healthy sustenance!) To view these two mouthwatering pies from Papa John’s plus the last slice excruciatingly going down the hatch with still a perceptible iota of tasty rapture, please view my Tik Tok: john.royce.holtz2 This was the party foul that might have done me in….Yet, the human body can be so resilient to crap bombardment; Hopefully, this is the case with this hopefully isolated episode…
Pizzeria Parlor means that Brutus keeps trying to commit prohibited, c-blocking, party fouls with PopEye’s lady friend, Olive Oil…
It signifies that the only party fouls that PopEye and our posse may instigate is relegated to chowing down in the Pizzeria Parlor—relatively benign, in moderation….a relatively safe haven….Especially when pried upon Spinach cans are formerly flung into the air with their lids wide open!
Phonetically similar “Fowls” are the turkeys that freely wander all over the country town I live in—flagrantly disobeying all stop signs…They look delicious as they mosey about, seemingly without rhyme nor reason—even within imminent capriciousness of Thanksgiving! The males fan their feathers this time of year as mating calls for the females….Gosh, maybe I should take a longstanding hint and capture some choice morsels, ahead of schedule!….
(Ironically, Turkey is one of my least favorite holiday foods during one of my most favorite and festive, modern renditions of a secular, national Holiday—Thanksgiving…where everybody comes together for a meal during a very cool evening, as also measured by the thermometer…) I prefer stuffing, Pumpkin pie and pumpkin/spumoni/rum raisin ice cream—and more stuffing, obviating the need for even the turkey!!!Perhaps aided by a G.T. Fall Gratitude Kombucha to savor the holiday “ruach” or spirit!
“Fouls” in basketball are wholly unwarranted…My classmate perhaps unfairly lost out on a professional NBA career because his leg was broken in the NCAA playoffs on purpose by a ner-do-well fouler as he soared upwards for a dunk…
Party Fouls can also conotate Political Party faux paus by ceding the Ukraine to imperialist Russia and the million folks killed thus far, talk of annexing Canada and Greenland, inordinate tariffs that pit the increasingly isolationist United States against the whole world and do not encourage economic nor military cooperation, and the proposed hatcheting of Top-notch American IVY League Universities that ennoble the brightest Americans (and foreigner standouts who otherwise would like to make America the permanent residence of their brilliant, refreshingly industrious work ethics) to think outside the box, the gutting of Social Security and certain federal jobs…
I know we have an exponential national debt that we should decrease a.s.a.p., although there are Non-Essential Leisure Studies Fields and conceivably publicly (as well as the privately) funded technological start-ups where money can be skimmed off the top to help bolster the middle class and the poor. For example, the 100% tariff on Hollywood is probably a sound maneuver, however drastic. I do not think it will cripple the industry. Don’t worry; The stars will still assuredly be talented and stunning.
Phenomenal geniuses in the sports and entertainment industries like Steph Curry have already donated 100 million dollars to enrich local youths’ lives with food, learning, and playing opportunities to offer kids more well-rounded opportunities for success. I believe that there should be voluntary, after-school study sessions for youths with credentialed tutors to prepare them with the wherewithal (study skills and rationale instilled) and discipline (meditation should be taught and practiced daily) for a generational academic odyssey towards a university diploma—the key to socio-economic egalitarianism. Further donations should be encouraged from standout entertainers to help level the playing field while we encourage capitalism not only for the entertainers, but for the next generation that we collectively cannot afford to leave behind. Society should try to surge forward with quantum leaps of unbridled, capitalist progress—with an ethical responsibility to help stragglers….
