five dollar foot long

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.

don't sell yourself short, fella. that foot long of yours
is priceless.

open wound.

i'm going to stuff you with chicken teriyaki sandwiches
until you try to scream through the mass of chicken teriyaki
sandwiches that is clogging your esophagus and trachea.
then, in a week or two we'll all enjoy some hearty guybrush
foie gras.

bon appetit, you fat fuck.

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, you're too lazy to convert dollars to euros, but you're
willing to post about fucking $5 foot longs?

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.

even funnier, i just noticed that the conversion to euros
and meters would be useless to you. just for you, i'm
throwing in a free bag of potato chips with your sandwich.

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.
