I'll meet you beside the eight foot Spiderman, Watashi. Careful you don't get confused and try to meet me beside the nine foot Spiderman. That would be a bit of a mix-up wouldn't it? Hahahahahahaha.

There is no 8 foot or 9 foot Spider-Man at Comic Con.Quoting Winston* (view post)

I bought Chuck's new one, Snuff, today.
My pick for best sandwich (which I just ate): London broil roast beef with swiss, horseradish and mayo, lettuce and tomato all on a sourdough kaiser roll.
I savored each bite.

I'm not sure I understand why there aren't streetside or wandering cupcake vendors.
The Nation of Islam sells pies.Quoting Sycophant (view post)
They stand in the middle of busy intersections in Philadelphia with their suits on and sell their newspapers and their pies to cars stopped at red lights. It could be 110 degrees and humid as hell, it doesn't matter. They don't sell much, at least not when I drive by.
To answer your questions, maybe people aren't too keen on buying food that's been cooked in kitchens that haven't been inspected by the city.

Mayonnaise sickens me.
I'm writing for Slant Magazine now, so check out my list of reviews.
Hopefully I'll have the energy to update my signature soon.
Aye, its pretty disgusting. I have no idea why people like it on their sandwiches.Quoting NickGlass (view post)

They have no principles. They just want to make money doing nothing.Quoting NickGlass (view post)
Today, by the way, has been a mixed blessing in terms of the upcoming work force. In the plus column, one of the boys was unfairly lumped with the unwashed masses, and is actually a very decent kid. He and I sat together, and I could tell the others' behavior bothered him (he rolled his eyes and made a few quiet remarks to me, like "Don't worry. They won't make it.")
On the other hand, the other three boys were ten times worse today. They were making racist and misogynistic remarks, being belligerent and rude to the instructor, threatening to leave ("If we all go, they won't punish all of us") threatening to take the company cars to Atlantic City tonight, brainstorming ways to make money off the rental cars (like replacing the new parts with junk parts before returning them) and in all other ways being absolute little dipshits.
Sorry for the profanity, but I really can't think of a better word.
It's okay in small doses.Quoting NickGlass (view post)
And it's quite delicious if you can get it freshly made, or make it yourself.
Oh, AND, the absolute worst of the boys was trying to get a new job by making phone calls during lunch and breaks. I encouraged him and gave him a couple of possible leads.
I don't want him in my company.
That sounds cartoonishly unrealistic. Are you sure they aren't imps in disguise or something? That seriously is so over the top it's laughable, but I still believe you. Some people are really this stupid out there.Quoting Mara (view post)

The whole thing could be a psychological set-up to see how I react to idiots.Quoting Wryan (view post)
In which case, I'm glad I refused to eat lunch at the same table with them.
Seriously, though, once the training is over (and I know I won't have to see them again) I think I might take the issue up with my area manager. He wouldn't have any control over them, but he could give a heads-up to their managers. I wouldn't let these guys help customers under any circumstances.
By the way, just as How Not to be an Idiot 101, any comment that begins with "I don't mean this in a racist way, but..." IS ACTUALLY RACIST.
Also, gentleman, no matter what your intentions, never begin a sentence with "Why do women always...."
No good will come of these things.
It's a figure of speech called a parrhesia, a way of excusing yourself for candid speech before you say it. One website has a great collection of figures of speech and, in one section, groups them according to examples found in The Simpsons.Quoting Mara (view post)

I hate Abba. I thought it was a normal thing :PQuoting bac0n (view post)
