Anderson said he had weapons in his bag, and inside the bag was a barbecue fork and a pizza cutter, according to the criminal complaint.

It's because Luigi is of Italian descent.

I’d much rather fight someone armed with a pizza cutter than nothing at all because, what kind of a stupid ass brings a pizza cutter to a fight? That’s a crappy fighter right there.

Or he is so elite that he is using techniques that you cannot even comprehend.

You know what they say, don't bring Parmesan to a pizza cutter fight.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You cut your parmesan with a pizza cutter?

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah I think a grater would be a better weapon

[–] moncharleskey@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Depends on the pizza cutter I guess. The rolling ones, for sure, but the long heavy blade ones that you rock to cut the pizza? That could do some damage.

[–] Pieisawesome@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You can sharpen the round ones.

I was bored so I sharpened one of mine a few years ago… honestly it was a very dangerous game changer

My wife did this without telling me and I sliced the shit out of my fingers while trying to clean it.

The only possible way this scenario could be improved is if the would-be jailbreaker was named Mario

The fool. Everyone knows prison bars are made of overcooked lasagna.

[–] TheCelticPirate@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

you haven't seen what damage it can do!

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

The cutest in the world reference. Maki is great.

[–] WompWomp@lemmy.cafe 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maki Itoh? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I am thoroughly confused by this sequence of events

[–] TheCelticPirate@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

But....why pizza cutter....

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's gotta be part of a bit. That's about as useless a weapon or tool as you can get.

If you get that pizza cutter rotating at about 1500 RPM it could be quite dangerous.

Then again, if you manage that, you're probably Donatello from TMNT 🤷

Did he think he was busting him out of Flavortown Jail?

[–] GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The barbecue fork is gonna up the severity on this one. Why couldn’t he have just taken a regular fork?

[–] whereIsTamara@lemmy.org 1 points 2 days ago

Don’t forget the pizza cutter. That’s basically a nuclear weapon.

Anderson

Cooper? 🤞🤞 (would be such that great and unexpected twist 😁)
