"The Arrested Development now appears to be a go with its one actual movie star finally signed on to do it"

Haven't we're been teased by this rumor at least 10 times over the past 3 years?

I remember back quite some time ago when Larry Goldberg (owner of Goldberg's Pizzeria) tried the pizza in a cone combo. He was disappointed because the dough would never stay firm enough to the "bottom" of the cone. So he never followed it through. How's this one?

It seems like it would need to be a fairly dry pizza to work. Otherwise it's a funnel for all the grease to settle to the bottom and run down your arm and drip off your elbow.
