Biggest Submarine Sandwich Ever....sigh...

Ok, let me start by saying, almost nothing beats a great Italian Sub, and when I find one, I'll let you know.

Here's the problem, and this happened to me recently. Driving around we decided to stop at this tiny place, a true 'hole in the wall' with a sign that said 'Submarine Sandwiches'. I was like....'perfect, let's stop!' Looked at their menu...only subs, nothing else! I thought, 'great, they must make amazing subs since that's all they serve"

So there we are waiting in line(a short line...hmm) and I'm seeing other peoples sandwiches getting made and they are HUGE! They looked good, good amount of meat, a ton of toppings(pickles, tomatoes and onions) Sounds good right? Now with this picture perfect sub, I unwrapped it and took a bite....instant disappointment. The bread (which is very important, imo) was basically stale, the cold cuts....eh and the ton o' toppings...way too much.

This is among many places I've been to where they serve huge sandwiches thinking it's all about quantity and not quality.

I guess it's back to Subway for now....sigh...

Bottom Line: Still looking for a great italian sub and it is all about Quality, not quantity. Any suggestions?

Designer Blind Spots?

Ok, those glasses with the thick arms, what's up with those things? It's like self inflicted 'tunnel vision'

I have a couple reasons why they aren't a good design...

First thing is driving safety, while driving, you already have a blind spot with your vehicle, now you are making another blind spot while wearing these glasses with, basically, a wall around your eyes.

Next is just personal safety, you can't really see around you at all, you really have no peripheral vision. Which means you can't see any person approaching you from any side, other then straight. I wonder if muggers look for people wearing these things.

Bottom line: Don't be dumb, pay attention to your surroundings...

um...Car Key Hostage?

Ok, Yahoo recently posted the Top 5 Car Dealer Scams to Avoid...

This was number 2...

2. Confiscation:

Whatever you do, don't give up your keys to your current vehicle - even if the "used car manager" asks for them to asses the car for it's trade-in value, even if the sales manager asks for them as collateral while taking a test drive. If negotiations should go amiss, it's impossible to walk out on the deal if you have no way to start your car.

Are you telling me that a dealer would take your keys and not give them up until you buy a car from them? Are you serious, I can't believe Yahoo would even post such BS. I'd like to see a dealer take my car hostage until I signed a deal with them, I'd really like to see that.

Bottome Line: WTF!
