This Guy Needs Twitter…
I’m sinking to a new low today, dear readers: as I sit in my alternate office, I am eavesdropping on a fellow latte swiller and listening to his cell phone conversation about lunch meats. And because I believe in truth in the press, I bring you the following observations…
- He’s had duck once, but really liked it. (I know, I can’t figure out how that qualifies as a lunch meat, either. I’ve never seen thinly sliced duck by Hillshire Farms on sale at Harris Teeter.)
- Roast beef is his absolute favorite as long as it is cooked just right. (I kid you not, he’s rocking back and forth gleefully as he talks about this.)
- Schlotzky’s is a good place, but they chintz on the meat. They give you far more meat than bread. (Funny name. Serious rip off.)
- Firehouse Subs is his absolute favorite place for a sandwich. They have a corned beef and pastrami on rye with cheese. (I’ll have to give him that. It is a good sandwich. But he’s rocking again.)
- Subway is his least favorite, Quizno’s also chintzes on the meat, Jersey Mike’s is just alright. (By golly, I might have found a food critic.)
A few things I wonder about:
- Who is he talking to? And are they as excited about lunch as he is?
- Why did I choose to blog about this? Do you really even care about the lunch meat play by play?
- And finally, why oh why is this the most entrhalling thing that’s happened to me today?
- Oh, just one more thing: “chintz” is a new word for me. I just looked it up online, and I do not think it means what he thinks that it means.
by your title I totally thought you had given in and set up a twitter for yourself. way to not be influenced by the peer pressure
you blogged about this, but not about the wind flipping green beans over on top of your car a few weeks back….?
Guilty as charged, Phil. Thanks for bringing up the painful memory. The SnotRocket still hasn’t recovered.
“SnotRocket”… that’s funny…..
what you need to do is drive up to Abington, PA which is just outside of Philly. Go to Lee’s Hoagie House and get a Philly Cheesesteak made by locals, not some kid at Jersey Mike’s. And also get a Philadelphia Soft Pretzel. Then blog about that! It’s a great experience. And I’m sure you can expense it in your Blog Budget.
