Sandwich

You can't run a fast food joint on thin people alone, and reminding people that they should be thin - or should want to he thin - is exhausting. So Subway has Peter Griffin, the cartoon character as a shill. Their use if the once-fat Jared guy grown tired, we can imagine the execs looking at the queues at the ubiquitous sandwich counters realizing that perhaps their salt and fat seeking clientele are where the "growth" is. Those who embrace Jared's ethic are not eating at Subway any more, or at least no more are they choosing Subway today over any other option than did yesterday. And switching from a thin human to a fat human, say John Madden or Louie Anderson, would too obviously out the company as switching sizes, so we see Jared fade tom the POS displays and the TV ads. In his place we see this fat cartoon character who can say "Big and tasty just like me" without disgusting the dwindling population of health-knowledgeable people (they who don't choose their diets from TV) who are forced by circumstance or threat of physical violence to enter a Subway from time to time. Our research was done while making sandwiches and drinking Bolthouse Farms Juice inside a Wal-Mart Subway. The other thing about this company is generally their employees are wickedly slow and have allowed their vegetable bins to run so low that the most they can offer you in the way of garnish is a transparent bit of cucumber that wound up in the jalapeno jar somehow.

New f.biddy is live

We stepped into the post- bubble sphere last night by two-point-oh-ing
all over flanabrand.com last night. Taking cues from the best text
only pages the web has to offer, this sleeker and less confusing site
is sure to be a momentary wonder to all.

Charleston, WV

The Flight from Waco to Tampa and from Tampa to Columbus, OH was about as uneventful as could be. Often there are mean flight attendants or long delays, but these flights were nice. The AA flight attendants were surprisingly both old and nice, which has never been the case before except on JAL.

Also, the people in Charleston, WV were unbelievably nice. This in spite of the postcard at left, which depicts one of the treasures located therenear. [ed: this is a school featuring classes on hair-coloring and welding, the girl at the convenience store goes there] Charleston is a town in the hills between Philadelphia and Las Vegas that has a river and shares its name with a dozen other towns, most of which are as nice but none of which can still be called a state capitol. We followed a recommendation from the iphone pointing to a place to eat and drink called Legend's Grill and Bar, near the river. When something is near a river you know it's eiher really nice or really not nice. This was the latter; except for the hand-lettered plywood leaning against the second floor window facing the street, Legends Bar does not exist. Rerouting past a pool hall with terrible lighting and a solitary seated customer we found a nice place called Sam's Cafe where you can have food until 2am. This is not the same Sam as my second favorite place to eat, Sam's Club, which was sad, but this other Sam is doing pretty well for himself, though I recommended he expand from the single storefront to a 24 acre lot with parking for 500 cars. The single cash register is so 50s.

Our Sam was a really nice guy with a lazy beard and no accent. He reminded us of a guy named Travis who owns DA's in Saratoga. Charlestans are either Steelers or Bengals fans, the home stadiums of which are at least 200 miles away. There are also Bangles fans here, but they go to a different bar. There's a good bagel shop there too with very animated older guys behind the counter who are entertaining.
