I hate sandwich shops altogether. They push giant cheap loaves of bread wrapped sloppily around shitty pieces of meat and TONS AND TONS OF MAYONNAISE if you don't say say out loud, "STOP putting mayonnaise on that!" It's crazy. It's like they can skimp on every other ingredient as long as they put a whole ass-crack load of oily mayonnaise on every sandwich. It's truly disgusting. It's the worst food yet invented by someone other than the evil Queen in Snow White.

FYI Potbelly doesn't put anything on your sandwich without asking 1st. I always get mustard and not mayo.
Also, that article is awesome Eazy. Congrats!

Did anyone else see tHe sunset tonight? I've never seen another like it. I took this shitty iPhone pic, which is not worth more than a vague description

Whoa. Well done.
― cue "White Rabbit" (kenan), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 02:04 (eleven years ago) link
Gah, that picture is shit.
The western sky was black except at the horizon where the sun was blazing as seen in the pic, but sheets of rain obscured the glow, and big white lightning arced amid the black and red clouds. Just amazing.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 02:07 (eleven years ago) link
jesse that picture is amazing. it looks like an a-bomb is going off.
― deploying a sewer otter unit (askance johnson), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 02:09 (eleven years ago) link
thanks. i'm happy with it as a snapshot, but there was actually blue-white lighting in the shot. and the contrast between the black, black clouds and the terrifying sunset isn't there. at least you can see a little bit of the sheets of rain.
i have a point and shoot Canon camera, but for the life o' me that would have been way better, i can't find the damn charger.

I never eat at subway/jimmy johns downtown because I'm always close to a Hannah's, which is infinitely better.

everyone should go to Z&H in hyde park for a sandwich sometime, I'm sure I've evangelized for them before
― Steve Youngblood (dan m), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 02:20 (eleven years ago) link
also I saw that sunset while leaving the laundromat and grocery store, and with the added lightning it was awesome indeed

i feel like we have the sandwich chain every week or two. for the record, i find jimmy john's more palatable than most of the sandwich chains because i like their thick sandwich bread and their fake guacamole. however, their sandwiches always give me heartburn for some reason.
we ate at big bricks last night. it was good (had pizza with pureed artichoke sauce instead of tomato sauce), seems like it would be a chill hang-out place. wasn't that busy (at 6:30ish) and they were playing old reggae at a reasonable volume. they have some tvs but the one in the back room wasn't even on. looks like they'll have a back patio set up soon too.
we also went to black dog gelato. i had cinnamon brown sugar gelato and salted peanut gelato.

maybe you need a sandwich on a loaf of bread

I love JJ's sub roll bread. I've said it a million times before, but it's delicious with just butter or butter and cheddar cheese.

And they sell it for 50 cents when it's "expired," a few hours after it's baked.

going out for lunch today if anyone wants to meet up (not at jimmy johns). flexible as to time and location. but if no one wants to meet up, i'll just go to chipotle.

that was the judy baar-topinka brochure incident
I have to do something at 1 pm (which is why I didn't call in altogether) and then I am definitely cabbing it home. I am sort of afraid I'll fall down the El steps or something because I'm a dizzy rascal. I should be on the couch and snoozing to episodes of Arrested Development by 2.

A doctor wanted to put tubes in my ears when I was a kid and my mom said no so I blame her.

I am ready to try putting pubes in my ears if I thought it would work.

If Q continues to have ear infections at the rate he's had them so far, we may have to consider tubes in his ears (not ready for the highly experimental pubes approach just yet). I'll take carl's situation into account if and when we need to consider that option.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 17:35 (eleven years ago) link
tbf to my mom, I don't know if tubes would have mattered. I think I basically have the eustachean tubes of a three year old.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 17:37 (eleven years ago) link
Like, it would probably be useful for me to have tubes in my ears now, but I don't know if it would have mattered if I'd had them as a kid.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 17:38 (eleven years ago) link
What do the tubes do? Are they permanent?
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 17:40 (eleven years ago) link
They're for drainage and they are supposed to fall out after awhile.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 17:41 (eleven years ago) link
