My food should be getting here soon. Then I can get back to backgammon...

Tracking update for my Realms shirts tells me it left a Georgia location about 3:21 this morning. It's listed as Priority Mail, so it'll probably hit here tomorrow -- Thursday at the latest. I want to wear that one Friday and the Ogre one Saturday, as Friday I'm planning to at least drop by the Realms Appreciation Night event.

Speaking of conventions - or, rather, the big one - I saw that Warner, Disney and the Weinstein Company have all decided to pass on Comic-Con (San Diego) this year. Shrinking DVD sales and overall box office this year are part of what's been cited. There's also indications that the rate of pay-off for big promotional pushes there isn't favorable.
So, that mostly crashes any hopes attendees may have had of early, clip screenings for Nolan's Dark Knight Rises or something from Zack Snyder's Man of Steel.

Logan's been vomiting blood? I'd get that looked at...

We were warned about a typical growth spurt hitting between 3-5 weeks where he will want to feed almost every hour. That started Sunday night. Lots of fun.

Woot, 6 dollar grab bag shirts are back today only

Also, stupid question here maybe...but I went to Subway and got a meatball sub, and the lady kept asking me what sauce I wanted on it...you are supposed to put a sauce on a meatball sub? I am not even sure what kind of sauce one would put on it then the marinara sauce that is already on it...

Whenever I go to Subway I get a sweet onion chicken wrap. It's called that because it has onion sauce on it. They always ask me what sauce I want on it though, which I've always thought was odd.

I understand once though, as there are people that want other sauces or might want a sauce on something like the meatball marinara(weirdos!) but I think asking three times is a bit much :-/

Okay, this is a long, embarassing, Haven story, so hunker down:

A buddy of mine is a real cheap ###. Once a group of, like five, of us went to Fudrucker's with our girlfriends. He wasn't happy because he thought that place was expensive and he didn't have any coupons for it. So, like, TEN of us are all going, half are girls, one is his, and he's quibbling about the price. We get there and he orders a fryboat (large fries) and two waters for him and his girl and then they go back and fill up with pop because it's free refills. To make matters worse, after a long pause, looking sadly at his fries, he says "Do you know how much food I could have gotten at Taco Bell for what I spent on this?"

Is it any wonder that she broke up with him?

Anyway, now you know how cheap he is.

Some other time, he and I were at a Subway. He gets a meatball sub. He asks for Mayonnaise on it. I looked at him like he was a disease and ridiculed him. He says, "No, trust me, it's really good. Here, I'll buy one for you so you can try it and see."

Time stopped and a man on a pale horse rode past the Subway.

It was an offer that I couldn't turn down. As disgusting as it sounded, I had to take him up on the offer becaue his cheap ### had never bought me ANYTHING.

It was surprisingly good. It was so good that I still do it to this day despite the fact that when I order it, the Subway people look at me a LOOOOOOOOONG time and sometimes back up several feet.

So, maybe someone who has been infected by me (or him) has been there and THAT's why they were asking.

a) Some people want weird combos.

b) The more likely answer is that at least in all the Subway's I have been to, one person at one end asks you what sandwhich you want. It is the other person, who after veggies have been piled on the meat, asks what sauce you want.

c) Also, that second person in line is trained to ask you about sauce no matter what. These aren't highly skilled workers. As a customer would you rather be asked "What sauce would you like on your sandwich?" or "You want anything else?". This is why training is set up to take the thought out of it. It's all about perseption. While the current way give some odd situations (asking for sauce on something that has sauce) it still ends in a situation where the customer has an option for "more stuff" which isn't bad.

I hate Mayo...and Canned tuna, only two foods that I really won't eat :-/ There are things i haven't had before that I would probably be willing to try atleast once, but otherwise hate those two things...

Also Fudrukers last time I went wasn't that expensive

I understand asking once, but not like three times -_-;

WHO's not highly trained?

That was part of the exposition proving how cheap his ### is.

In spelling, I am highly trained. Highly trained to rely on spellcheck, which the realms sadly doesn't offer me.

I won't requote due to length but that's a great story Haven. I think that actually sounds pretty damn good myself and might try it sometime. I like to get the meatball sub on flatbread with pepperjack cheese. My other regular is Tuna on honey oat bread with sweet onion sauce (Also pepperjack cheese).
