It depends on what you get. It's just about the only Sub joint in my area, and I like it. I see a lot of people get the meatball sub or the Philly cheese steak. Gross. I usually get a ham, turkey and ham, or the club. Load it with veggies and a good sauce and you've got a decent sub for a low price.

But maybe I'm not very picky because I'm not in places like Philadelphia where there's a better selection of sub places.

Ignore women until its after midnight and the vodka kicks in. Im sure the FBI would love to take a statement right then.

Too true! My best friend almost got fired because some woman in his office kept reporting him to HR - all to distract management from her own incompetence. Once, he asked her for her payment for fantasy football - she claimed he "got very aggressive" and acted like he was going to hit her.

The reason it's cheap is because the meat is so bland. You might as well eat a cardboard sandwich. They allow people to load up on veggies and sauces to hide the lack of quality of their meat.

It's simple. Most people put price at the top of the total pole. In most parts of the United States, cheap and bad will beat expensive and good every time. If you put a quality hoagie place which sold sandwiches for two times the price of Subway need door to every Subway in the south and midwest, or even in the D.C. area for that matter, Subway would run all of the quality places out of business. No doubt in my mind. I'm not big on cold hoagies, but there is miraculously a place in the D.C. area that has cold hoagies as good as anywhere in New Jersey. It's completely empty nine out of ten times I go there. We'll see how long it lasts.

I have always hated Subway and couldnt figure why they picked that Jared guy instead of an annoying bitch like Flo from Progressive. He should just bug out to Cabo, buy a fishing boat and do charters. He has the cash to get lost forever. Good for him.

I rarely go to Subway because as others have mentioned, it fucking sucks. However, Subway has opened a lot of franchises in Colombia over the past three years as any RVF Colombia vet will agree, literally they are popping over there like you wouldn't believe. So of course the girls I date in Colombia, who tend to be on the lower socio-economic rungs (God love em) want to go to Subway for the 18,000 peso, 30 centimetre chicken teriyaki sub over the 8000 peso menu del dia, the things we do to get laid sometimes eh? So I take them in and they have a feed but instead of a proper sub, I opt for the salad version because those fuckers put the same CHEMICALS in their bread as is used in gym mats!

Another little story: a few years back, as the Canadian RVF guys will remember, the best beer in Canada, which I'm half drunk on as I type this, Alexander Keith's, ran an ad featuring this very annoying fuck wit of an actor who did a Scottish accent, which makes no sense really (kinda a long story) but everyone in Nova Scotia, the home of the beer, fucking hated this idiot. Anyway, the goof got pinched on a kiddie porn charge and is probably dead now for all I know, but a lot of people were saying "thank fuck that idiot is off the air" even if it was such a gross crime that did him, so long sucker!





Merenguero: about those famous Philly cheese steaks, I attended a five day weld inspection course in Alberta last year and the instructor was from the city. He really stressed how important maintaining the high temperature of the welding rods in the field is and told us about how down in Philly they have a big problem with the welders because after lunch the boys take their welding rods out of their portable ovens and throw their Philly cheese steaks in them, I cracked up!

“Middle school girls are hot,” the woman quoted him as saying. Fogle, to her shock, repeated the stunning remark several times, she told WWSB-TV in Sarasota.

“He said something to me when we were off camera and that really stuck with me,” she told the station. “I thought to myself, ‘Did he really say that to me?’”

The woman, whose identity was withheld, said she was so disturbed by the fast food spokesman’s comment that she reached out to the FBI.

“They weren’t jokes,” she told the station. “They were very serious ... It goes deeper than that.”

She claimed the middle school remark was followed by even more disgusting comments, but refused to go into specifics.

A few thoughts:

1). We now live in a society where speaking of "impure thoughts" will get you turned in to authorities. Decades ago, that authority was a priest. Now it's the FBI. Saying the wrong thing now gets you raided.

2). If you're dealing with a female journalist, be careful what you say. This shows why. Remember those little girls in first grade we called "tattletales?" This is them grown up. You cannot make snide remarks, off-color jokes, or sexually-charged banter. It will be taken out of context and used against you. We live in a Gawker world now, and that's not likely to change (unless they put Ellen Pao in charge).

3). If this pans out and the reporter was in the right and he is doing illegal stuff, that brings up another issue.

Let me preface it by first saying I am not condoning anything illegal here. But I want to say that people who commit illegal acts have a way of giving themselves away with their words. They're often undone by themselves and not authorities, in other words.

So if you're doing anything that's not above board -- from computer hacking to stealing donuts from your work lunchroom -- be aware of this odd quirk of human nature. I once saw an entire career in IT ruined because the guy in question was charging his long-distance calls to his workplace and felt the need to blab about it.

The scary thing is how easy something taken out of context and/or repeated by someone else can be made to appear of nefarious intent. I can see a future where it will be commonplace for people to wear body cams as everyday accouterments as a way to defend against false allegations

Sucks that this guys life in ruined over some comment. But I'm more concerned about the charges. It doesn't seem like proportional response to me, I mean sure if your making child porn, get tossed in jail forever pretty much, but just watching it?

Some dude watching child porn is pretty bad, but up to twenty years in prison is what they give to MURDERERS, putting watching child porn (without making it or abusing children) on the same level as murder is fucked up.

I understand that watching it encourages it's continued production. But the same punishment as a drug-dealing murderer? Come on.

I don't get the whole kiddie porn thing. Rather, I get it if we're talking about the hot 17 3/4 year old college freshman whose tit pics got circulated. God knows how many random tit pics on the Internet are barely underage girls - but actual children? Dafuq is wrong with these people?

Hold on a second. I definitely understand that the workplace has become far too PC and it's way too easy for someone to throw a false accusation out there. I'm not a fan of thought police at all, but this isn't just an offhand comment.

If he really talked about how attractive middle school girls are while he's a HUGELY public figure and after the president of his charity organization went down on child porn charges, he made a horrendous mistake. Context matters a lot here.

Women want to hear the exact opposite of what they think you'll say. Occasionally someone will ask me if Im trying to hook up with someone around the workplace. I just say, "No way. Im into old women. Canes, walkers and shit like that. No teeth even better." They split after that and leave me alone.

He made the comment ten years ago to a female reporter outside of a charity event. She was cool with him and continued to speak with him at later events, after his former employee got arrested she called the FBI and wore a wire. The FBI got a warrant, searched his digital files and computer history and found nothing. The FBI went back to the judge got another warrant and raided his house seizing every electronic in his house and even brought an electronics sniffing dog with them and so far have found nothing. If when they got the first warrent they had found so much as an old Traci Lords video I can assure you he would be in jail awaiting trial as we speak. As for context, he made an off the cuff remark to a woman a decade ago and that was the pretext for a wire, an electronic warrant, and a physical warrent with a raid on his house destroying his reputation and earning ability for life.

Now if they prove he had child porn or abused kids I will rethink my position but right now this shit looks excessive.

Two things:

1. $1000 says this unnamed reporter was a chick Jared smashed and didn't call the next day.

2. Had any of these allegations stuck, she would have come forward for her 15 minutes of fame.

Well, then I'm wrong. I looked at multiple news articles that back up what you state. 10 years ago is a long time and it's very suspect what her motivations are. I wonder what they got him saying on the wire, wonder if it was anything actually significant or just spun into probable cause for the warrants.

One comment (which he may or may not have actually said), 10 years later, and look what it has done to him.

And this can happen to any of us, at any time.

Any man living in the US of A now who doesn't see what an incredibly hostile police state it's fast becoming to them isn't paying attention. This entire situation with Jared is Orwellian, and we all know that they are firing people left and right for things as innocuous as wearing confederate flag boxers to tweeting something that should merely be considered mildly offensive.

Never mind "divorce rape" and any of the hundreds of other minor transgressions that could trip a guy up and get him either arrested or fired (for example, drinking a beer on the street, or making a slightly inappropriate comment about a woman's "shape" in the office).

Furthermore, what the hell are we doing spreading our "freedom" and "western values" to other parts of the world now given what's going on back home, and why do "conservatives" support our constant interventions? It's of course almost all about corporatism and geopolitics, but what a fucking joke.

spilly talker accent got busted on kiddie porn? Ha, thats the best story I've heard in a while. Keith's is not at all the 'best beer in Canada' though. That would be the now defunct "red maple" formerly made by northern breweries (1907-2006), it was cheap, dark and literally had maple syrup in it. How canadian is that?

Jersey Mike's is superior to Subway. I've gotten sick a couple times I've eaten at Subway. So on the rare occasion I do go there I make sure I get something that's hot and cooked.
