you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

i remember reading that they were the fastest growing because it's incredibly cheap to run a franchise. next time you go to a Subway look at how little space everything takes up. compare that to a typical fast food burger joint where the kitchen is the size of an entire Subway alone. plus you barely have to do anything to prepare their food. the highest maintenance orders they take require about one minute in a toaster, and even though their meal deal is comparably cheap it's still incredibly overpriced for what it is. you can shove a Subway into any big box retail store without sacrificing much of any overhead real estate, and they'll make a ton of money. I find myself eating there more than almost every place within a mile radius of my office because their ubiquity and convenience is overwhelming. It's almost impossible for me not to eat at Subway at least once a month. multiply that by everyone else in the few surrounding blocks and it's no surprise they're kicking everybody's ass.

I read in fast food nation that a lot of franchisee were disappointed--they get into it because it's cheap, but their territory isn't well protected and they apparently receive less support than other franchises provide. And, because Subway has lower standards for its franchisees than others, the stores are often not well run.

i get this completely. this is less cool than holding babe ruth's bat that he hit 60 home runs with, but still had the same reaction as you. my grandparents lived down the street from matt millen and my sister ended up becoming friends with matt's daughter and it turns out my parents were acquaintances of matt's in high school. we got invited over to their house one day for a kind of play-date/dinner kind of thing. anyway, matt millen let me wear all 4 of his superbowl rings on my fingers. i got chills when i put them on. it was something i'll always remember.


wow, that #$!&@ owns


I've told the story in the celebrities thread, but Tommy McDonald basically handed my dad his Super Bowl ring and let us walk through the KOP mall with it as we chatted. Fucking awesome when stuff like that happens

My dad claims he got into a fight with Matt Millen at the bar where Kildares is today, back when Matt and my dad were in college.

My dad is a big dude, so I believe it, but my dad sometimes forgets things.

Good story, SK, that's pretty cool.

Only finding sporadic clips on the internet but I can now confirm there's a scene where she's in a foursome with Prezbo from The Wire. 8-)

not true. overtipping is a good practice, and it will yield positive results in the future, despite what a pos you are.

Feel like I'm spreading my seed over too wide of an area to reap benefits. Hopefully this proves wrong.

my pal is producing a gory skin flick in Philly and he showed me a nude scene a while ago. about halfway through i realized i knew the chick who's tits were featured, and i was really happy because before that day i'd probably have walked across I-95 to see them

i was gonna join the chorus and say there's no such thing as over-tipping but then realized that's obviously not true. but if someone's handling my booze or food and treats me anything close to a human being, i'm tipping them well.
