Subway has always been one of my favorite sandwich shoppes (that’s old timey talk for shop). But recently I feel that the sandwich’s they serve are going downhill. I believe this all started when they decided to slice their bread differently. If you can recall the bread used to be cut along the top in a “U” shape, allowing a nice little pocket for your assorted meats, cheeses and veggies. This new “straight across the middle, but not quite all the way through” cut is ruining the dynamic of a once great sandwich! It’s madness I tell you, MADNESS! I probably could have gotten over the new way they slice bread but what I’m about to tell you is downright silly and might quite possibly jeopardize my return visits to Subway. They are now putting the veggies on the BOTTOM of the sandwich. What the hell is that? As a former sandwich artist I find this insulting. The proper order of ingredients is cheese, meat, veggies, condiments. You can maybe mix up the cheese/meat order but under no circumstances should vegetables be on the bottom. Now I have to eat my sandwich upside down…and I’m pissed because that really throws off my bread to meat ratio (because of the aforementioned new cut). I don’t know what this world is coming to, thank goodness Subway still has decent sized cups or they might be the new IHOP. Â
Can’t think of anything interesting to post about, just don’t want the top post having “rape” in the title for more than a couple days.  It had its moment, now its time to move on.  Just for the sake of nostolgia, I have a video from an old sesame street.  With all the songs that have “walk” or “run” in the title,  this was the first song that I could think of when asked to get a list of songs for the Y-Me walk this weekend.
Also, via Pop Candy, remember Showbiz Pizza or Chuck E. Cheese Pizza?  Remember the Rock-aFire  Explosion, the animatronic band that played everyones birthday party there?  I didn’t, till I saw the video.  Anyway, there are people that collect the robot musicians from the band.  Here is a video of the band playing “Pop Lock and Drop It.”
Doctor Mooney has some more things worth checking out. It has a post with a couple songs from a Aretha Franklin album. It has a post about the new Black Keys album and an even newer song they posted on their myspace. If you haven’t given them a try yet, do. All You Ever Wanted is a pretty good track. Also, their first video for this album, Attack and Release, has them playing laser tag. The main thing to check out on Doc Mooney’s is a post about the songs that McCartney and Lennon wrote but didn’t originally record. Songs are pretty good, but listen to Steve Miller Bands “My Dark Hour” its from a 1969 album called Brave New World. The riff of the song is unmistakably the same as “Fly Like An Eagle” from the album with the same name in 1976. Does this mean Steve reused a riff he and McCartney wrote seven years earlier. Does McCartney get credit/royalties for “Fly Like An Eagle?” Either way, its a good song and further proof that anything the Beatles touch turns to gold.
Working with logos and graphics all day, I get a great kick out of knowing how they were made, the reasoning behind them and things like that. It took me a while to figure out that the new Baskin Robbin’s logo had a thirty one in the middle of it. I think I was the last person to notice the arrow inside of the FedEx logo. But my favorite logo story is about the Starbuck’s logo.
The reason that it is relevant right now is because Starbucks is bringing back the old logo on their cups. The most obvious weird thing about it is that such a major American company would use a logo that has bare breasts on it. The full story is at DeadProgrammer.com, but the weirdest part of bringing back this logo is because it is making it obvious that the mermaid is the two finned and the story behind mermaids.
Basically, mermaids were sirens of the sea. But how can you have sex with Ariel if her bottom half is a fish? Well, skeezy sailors must have figured that sex with a mythical mermaid is more logical if it has two fins. Yep, take another look at the logo and you see that the Starbuck’s logo is holding her legs back spread eagle. Think about that next time you grab a coffee.
i thought so. i know i haven’t been bruce-blooging in awhile, but i think i’ve found a way to totally redeem myself….the brothers solomon. rent it. immediately. it might sound stupid (and of course it is), but if you love gob the way i love gob, then you will be entertained. so roeper claims to have walked out of the theater on it… don’t listen to him, he’s an old man. here’s a test to see if you’ll like it — does the picture below amuse you? yup, you’re in. trust me, if there’s one thing i know in this world, it’s freaks.
