Acts of Volition

Hey! Thanks for linking to me. I saw your URL in my referrer logs. Just wanted to say 'Hey'.

   -Steve.

No problem. You have a great idea and it deserves to be supported.<P><P>I salute your efforts.

I was wondering what was wrong the last few times I've had Subway. There was this slight nagging sense, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was (spidey sense maybe?...) And then, upon reading this, I realized that this was the reason meatball subs were no longer as appetizing as they once were. The old school meatball subs were choice. The bun was more of a 'rack' on which the meatballs sat, awaiting whatever toppings one might desire. Now, they hold on for dear life as the sauce lubricates them to the point of falling out the side...terribly saddening when it happens to land on one's pristine canvas running shoes, polished to a pasty white gleam...sniff...
Anyway, said 'artists' may have to be re-trained, and I think I shall take it upon myself to teach them the "old-skool" way of things, and may be inclined to give them a nice shiny quarter if they do a good job.

It's Brooklyn-Manhattan Transfer, people!

Bacon speaks the truth!<P><P>What baffles me is the leading 'Bacon, Mayonnaise, Tomato' people. I have eaten dozens of BMTs, and not once did I put bacon, mayo, or tomato on it.

conversational tangent:

Manhattan Transfer is the name of the company that produced the fine VW Cabrio ad we were discussing. They've since been bought and are now Riot Manhattan.

Brooklyn-Manhattan Transfer. Amen, brother.<P>
Much superior to Manhattan Transfer, who are surprisingly, and disapointingly, still putting out albums.<P>
And much superior to Volkswagon, though those folks have kindly stopped using slave labour since WWII ended. Those good people.

Matt: have you had an asprin in the last few years? Ask Mr. Bayer what he did in the war.

No aspirin. I like my blood thick and coagulated, just the way I like my eggs.

mmmmmmm... coagulated...

YAY ROB!

Much ado about nada really, but finally a debate with some real importance.

You know that when you go to Subway you can just ask for the centre cut?

You say: "I'd like the old cut please."

And they give it to you. They don't complain at all.

But, to clarify, this is not to devalue the petition in anyway, for it is a good. The new cut sucks. The new bread sucks. Subway is...um...toast (haha).

Too bad you boys don't have Steamrollers (remember that name) — home of the fine steamed burrito — there yet. That shit killed Subway for me.

And Matty, the Manhattan Transfer recorded the very cool, "Boy from New York City", which contains the line: "Oo ah oo ah come on kitty", which is more than you've ever done.

You slut.

I miss the jumbo deli-style sandwiches. I now buy two smaller deli's in protest.
<p>
I can't say I don't like the new bread, the odd time I do get a foot-long (insert penis joke here) I get the hearty Italian.
<p>
The new cheese selection is a welcome change as well.

don diego's is way better than sub-fucking-way.

I'm afraid to eat at don diego's. It looks suspiciously small and scary and I never see anyone there... or even parked near there. But I'll stay open-minded. If anyone I know is ever going, I'll go too and see if I ever go back to subway

Just don't get delivery. If there is anything worse than five shitty tacos for five bucks it's five cold shitty tacos for five bucks delivered by Don himself.

Plus: then they know where you live.

On another note,
Why do the people at subway get the name, "sandwich artists" while us fine people at Dairy Queen are simply employees. Through my years at DQ I have made some damn fine masterpeices. And the new Brownie EarthQuakes take more skill to make than a sandwhich ever did.

I'm quite sure that people only eat at don diego's so they can tell other people they eat at don diego's. This is the reason I used to go to Zippy's Coffee Shop, which eventually turned into Don Diego's Taco Shop (who couldn't see that coming).

I once witnessed a lackadaisical<b>*</b> employee fired before my very eyes for not cooking my eggs fast enough (or at all).

Eggs at Don Diego's? I'v never been there,. but it don't jive Garrity... Not an ounce.

Eggs at Zippy's.<P>
And with a name like Zippy's, they'd better be damn fast with the eggs. Personally, I prefer Linda's. Maid Marian's is nice as long as you dig the "non-service" service.

Thanks matt, and way to give the moose its due credit. The moose is the platypus of North America; Clumsy yet graceful, awkward yet elegant (see an elegant moose in action - Windows Media Clip).

Egg Burrito? McD's does that..

Went to Subway on Saturday and ordered <i>off-la-carte</i>. Not only can you still get the old cut if you ask for it, but you can get the BLT sandwich which isn't listed on the menu. Sweet deal.

See? This is the respect that your local "ice cream artist" gets.

We better start getting proper recognition soon..

You don't know the power the men and women of DQ have.

All their power is based on the false economy of Free Sundae coins.

But you see, the Free Sundae coin is used so frequently now that if we stop accepting them the entire Canadian economy will crumble.

And yes, that's a threat.

An economy based on Dairy Queen Free Sundae coins, Canadian Tire Money, and yearly Tims' Roll-up the Rim to Win tabs. It's a house of cards people! A house of cards!

Yes,. Even Futureshop (House of slime. Love their cheap CDs) is betting on the false economy of Canadian Tire money as well. A friend of mine, in attempting to escape from commision freak sales person, complains that he could get Canadian Tire money back at CT... Salesman leaves for 10 minutes. <b>AND COMES BACK WITH LARGE GROCERY BAG FULL OF CANADIAN TIRE MONEY...</b> Friend feels obligated to buy from them.<br><br>Freaks.
