Dinosaur sandwich

StanM, Thursday, 24 April 2014 03:35 (ten years ago) link

all fine choices but cannibus, of course

brimstead, Thursday, 24 April 2014 03:52 (ten years ago) link

yikes, lemme rephrase that:
all fine choices.
BUT.
cannibus, of course.

brimstead, Thursday, 24 April 2014 04:29 (ten years ago) link

to be clear, i voted for cannibus. see yall later.

brimstead, Thursday, 24 April 2014 04:29 (ten years ago) link

a drink.

an island

if not an island then a dinosaur

In terms of longevity of 'fame', the dinosaur name might be known to fewer individuals, but it would probably be known for more centuries than any of the other choices. A sandwich could be just some novelty item on the menu of one obscure café. Big deal.

Aimless, Thursday, 24 April 2014 04:44 (ten years ago) link

speculatively speaking, i think there is an outside chance that if a dinosaur species is named after you, someday you might become a dinosaur

after considering library, i voted sandwich

i also enjoy in line skateing (spazzmatazz), Thursday, 24 April 2014 04:50 (ten years ago) link

Voting sandwich because I'd like a burger named after me

PhetamineGrrrn (wins), Thursday, 24 April 2014 06:03 (ten years ago) link

mmm, sandwich wouldn't work for me..

The dino, the blow, the library, the boat, all would.

The martial art move would be the one that "knocks you out"

So, that one.

Mark G, Thursday, 24 April 2014 09:51 (ten years ago) link

I voted Boat, but I really mean Ship

Drop soap, not bombs (Ste), Thursday, 24 April 2014 10:02 (ten years ago) link

a sandwich is appealing but i'd rather a side dish, maybe some diner's slaw.

estela, Thursday, 24 April 2014 10:10 (ten years ago) link

i wd like a particularly fleeting mood named after me

you poll a lot, but you're not saying anything (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 24 April 2014 10:12 (ten years ago) link

Write in for "a ridiculous top 10 yacht rock hit song"? A la "Rosanna".

the Bronski Review (Trayce), Thursday, 24 April 2014 10:25 (ten years ago) link

There already is a sandwich named after me in my circles/notsohumblebrag

So it depends on what the dinosaur is.

tsrobodo, Thursday, 24 April 2014 13:15 (ten years ago) link

paolosaur, hands down

paolo, Thursday, 24 April 2014 14:29 (ten years ago) link

Standwich!

StanM, Thursday, 24 April 2014 17:30 (ten years ago) link

I'd like an astronomical body named after me, like a comet or a nebula. Not a star tho, that seems cheesy somehow.

DISMISSED AS CHANCE (NotEnough), Friday, 25 April 2014 08:29 (ten years ago) link

i think i'd like to change my answer to a write in option: mass extinction.

Library > dinosaur > cocktail

If you could swap the boat for a train, then train would probably come above cocktail.

emil.y, Friday, 25 April 2014 20:16 (ten years ago) link

Disease would also be v. cool.

emil.y, Friday, 25 April 2014 20:16 (ten years ago) link

Not if you had to die from it to earn the honor.

Aimless, Friday, 25 April 2014 20:18 (ten years ago) link

See: Lou Gehrig's disease.

Aimless, Friday, 25 April 2014 20:18 (ten years ago) link

Nah, I don't mind.

chillin' on an "awesome pretzel" hoagie (DJP), Friday, 25 April 2014 20:19 (ten years ago) link

something singular and concrete. probably boat

cerealbar, Friday, 25 April 2014 20:20 (ten years ago) link

I don't think a concrete boat is going very far

stop ruining my terrible jokes with facts

chillin' on an "awesome pretzel" hoagie (DJP), Friday, 25 April 2014 20:22 (ten years ago) link

sorry

PhetamineGrrrn (wins), Friday, 25 April 2014 20:22 (ten years ago) link

how do you ruin an already terrible joke?!

Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 25 April 2014 20:25 (ten years ago) link

a cocktail would probably be cooler, but a sandwich seems more appropriate to my temperament

highway

schlump, Friday, 25 April 2014 21:08 (ten years ago) link

i look like a highway

schlump, Friday, 25 April 2014 21:08 (ten years ago) link

I look five miles of bad road. (well, not really, but it seemed like a good line to throw out)

Aimless, Friday, 25 April 2014 21:22 (ten years ago) link

A library! No contest!

A sandwich could be just some novelty item on the menu of one obscure café. Big deal.

AIMLESS! A sandwich is named after somebody, a notorious gambler and inferior admiralty bureaucrat, thank Heavens.

(Voted cocktail, like any sane person)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Wednesday, 30 April 2014 00:01 (ten years ago) link

Voted sandwich as I've had a sandwich named for me:

Onion bagel toasted, then retoasted with pepper turkey, avocado and cheddar cheese atop.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 30 April 2014 00:16 (ten years ago) link

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Thursday, 1 May 2014 00:01 (ten years ago) link

Now that the dust has settled, I realize that a boat named Aimless might be kind of cool.

Aimless, Thursday, 1 May 2014 00:02 (ten years ago) link

Yes, I Guess They Oughta Name a Library After You--doesn't sound right.

clemenza, Thursday, 1 May 2014 00:09 (ten years ago) link

you bunch of nerds

paolo, Thursday, 1 May 2014 08:06 (ten years ago) link

Do you mean you want a collective noun named after you? A murder of crows, a paolo of nerds?

StanM, Thursday, 1 May 2014 08:09 (ten years ago) link

thing is, with a library, it's not like i wrote all those books

exactly

Sandwich or cocktail. Absolutely nothing else comes close

I totally read this as 'a cocktail sausage'
