i'm not sure if anyone has heard, but the sandwich chain subway is offering a special deal. anyone of their shitty sandwiches is now five dollars, and a good foot long. not sure how that works out in euros and meters (well i do but i'm lazy, very very lazy).
actually, there is an exception: the italian meatball sub is apparently not included in the deal. that's the only sandwich that you cannot get for $5.
also, there is a very annoying jingle being used to promote the deal. maybe you've heard it. brings to mind the de-programming sequence in "clockwork orange".

in american sign language, "five dollar foot long" can also mean a cheap handjob. depending on how hungry you are, exercise caution. most importantly, never ever eat at subway.

Why are you advertising Subway for free?
You sir, are a silly person. And I have little respect for you.
Then again, maybe I just don't like Subway since last time I got one, it resulted in a big and very petty argument with a girl about a Subway sandwich which I shared with her. t lead to her not talking to me for about half an hour.
Most. Awkward. Walk. Home. Ever.
Veggie Delite is okay, I guess. Though they often don't put the veggie burger-like thing in and just don't tell me why not. Maybe there aren't any left or summit. Or maybe they are fucking dietists... :)

ah, you don't know what you're talking about. why would your avuncular pazever recommend a shitty sandwich? i say, if a sandwich is shitty, it doesn't matter what price you pay.
but i suppose this thread is a pretty obtuse way of mocking an insidious jingle and the substandard product it represents.
i'll try to be more obvious in the future, and will continue to quietly labor to earn your respect, anonymous internet persona.

Yeah, I bought a foot long and she asked if she could have half. She always asks if she can have stuff, just on the off-chance that someone will say yes. I said no at first, but then looked at her and kinda melted a bit, as she is very attractive. So I decided to give her half and told the guy her salad/ dressing preferences. We ate it on the way home (we were walking, which take about out 45 mins) and after we had finished I
broached the subject of her having not yet thanked me for the sandwich I had bought her. 'I know it's only £2.50, but still... the money has to come from somehwere!' e.t.c.. She didn't respond as I would have liked her to; With 'yeah, sorry- thanks for the sarnie, I appreciate it...'. She didn't really say anything. This enraged me quite a bit, so I said "Fucking hell, you're such a spoilt little brat!". This annoyed her, sorta unsurprisingly. So we walked home in silence. I tried to lighten the mood, which I did. A bit. For about 20 seconds at a time. Then back to an impenetrable silence. The reason that she didn't reply in the first place was just because she just misheard what I said. So the whole thing was kinda my fault, I guess.
This kinda thing happens all the time between me and this girl, though. We are both sorta stubborn people who are difficult to be around at times. With hindsight, it was not a good idea for us to go to town without anyone else to neutralise the tension.
This happened ages ago and we have had many a laugh about it since.
I haven't been back to Subway.
THE END.

did she get salad cream on it? do they have that at subways in the uk?
i just found out about this stuff i am fascinated.
also, did you know that at long john silvers you can now order your fish and chips london style? i think they throw a handful of fries on top of the fish instead of below it.? i dunno i didn't understand the difference really. ljs fries are horrible anyway i never order anything with fries from there. substitute that shit for extra hush puppies.

if you judge two people from one biased anecdote I don't value your judge of character, anyway.
I wouldn't mind going out with her actually, but she isn't a relationship person. She wants perfection. And lastly, if we got together we would undoubtedly end up killing each other after about a week. hehe.

so fucking what? do you want a sandwich? sometimes you gotta read between the lines, powli.
anyway, the honest truth is that i don't care at all about subway sandwiches, and i especially don't care how much it costs for you to buy a sandwich. to me a funny part is mentioning the conversion rates for subway sandwiches; there is really no need to provide the conversion because...it's a joke.
realize that i'm not talking about sandwiches. i'm mocking the ubiquity and obnoxiousness of their advertising campaign. but hey, i'm nice enough to take the time to explain to you, because it's another slow day at work. on another day you might have ended up spending the rest of your life wondering why that guy was too lazy to tell you how much you could expect to pay for a sandwich, and how long the sandwich was in your familiar frame of reference.

i declare this one of the best threads of the last six months.
so i've been comin' through here and there, but sadly i'm substantially more busy at work these days.
while i'm here, let me recommend the song "surprise hotel" by fool's gold. irresistable, melodic african music played by americans and sung in hebrew. sttunninng.
haven't bought any electronic releases in awhile, so i guess most of what i have to contribute is xltoss.
i'm going out in the sun now to chase some falling leaves. if i catch any, i'll mail them to you after i paint them gold and mount them on a fish carved from your favorite hardwood. trust me, you'll beam with pride when you put it on display.
