Emoticon Revisited....

Just a few months ago, I posted a blog entry that related to emoticon's. Emoticon's are the little happy faces and sad faces people add to the end of their sentences with colon's and brackets. :) :(

Well as the months have gone by, it seems that I'm not the only one who feels this way. Classic and hilarious video that you must watch.

A Gift From God.....

Whenever you think of the word 'deli' and 'Montreal'....well there should only be one reaction and that's Schwartz!! Evertime I head to Montreal I try to make a conscious effort to swing by Schwartz for a classic medium smoked meat sandy and a plate of fries. I think many of you can relate to how satisfying one of those sandy's are.

I was in MTL last weekend with someone who had never heard of or been to Shwartz, so instead of loosing my cool and going all Chris Brown on them......I kept my composure and thought that it was probably a good idea for the both of us to go straight to Schwartz once we got there. I tried to explain how good the sandwich was and that there's usually a line up out the door. Without fail, we were welcomed to Shwartz with a giant lineup and a bunch of hungry locals looking for their smoke meat fix.

My guest didn't quite understand why there was a lineup for a simple sandwich, but after they got a wiff of the meat it all started to make sense. Needless to say, we polished off 2 sandy's, fries, pickles and the all mighty important black cherry cola. It was a complete success, and to be honest it felt good to take my guests Shwartz virginity.

I get back home and a couple days go by when my Shwartz guest sends me this:

(exact e-mail)
ya! omg you dont understand how badly I want one of those sandwiches right now! All day I have been thinking about them! With the fries and pickle... omg thank you so much for bringing me............ you have changed my life lol

I would like to welcome the newest Shwartz junkie, and am proud to have built this one on my own....cleanslacks and all!!

So You're Not Friends Then.....

Another day in the office, I thought the best way to get this Friday started was to fire out an email to the boys and see what's on tap for the weekend. As I began to make my rounds I realized that I was just going to take it easy this weekend, but when one of the G-Unit members told me his plans I began wondering who he was going to be hanging out with.

So I asked the simple question, and got a pretty weird response since the person he mentioned was an enemy of his just last week!! I then proceeded to ask him if he was serious, and this is what his response was...via email:

LOL no I hate him and if I saw him on the side of the road, with a stalled car and four flat tires, with no cell phone, in shorts and a t-shirt, with no boots on and he had locked himself out of the car in minus 25 degree weather and a full blizzard with chinook winds, and there was a family of bears that haven't eaten in 6 months and were about to hunt him down and eat him if I didn't pick Hero up, I'm pretty sure I would put my window down and blast Mariah Carey's "And when a Hero comes along, with the strength to carry on...."

and keep driving and not look back!

Realllll friendly around here. I guess their BFF's, but it still has me wondering....who wears the cleanslacks in that friendship?

Juicy Sandwich Porn.....

So I'm assuming that you've read the title and have obviously prepared yourself for the worst, but I can promise you that what I'm about to get into is the complete opposite of what you may be thinking. To me 'Sandwich Porn' is just a beautifully crafted sandwich with all the fixin's on a fresh piece of dough. Turns out that I'm not the only freak with respects to a beautiful sandwich....

My love for sandwiches started back in the days of Heathcliff Huxtable and Theo Huxtable, two of my favourite Cosby Show characters. I know that Bill Cosby was noted for his great leadership in parenting through his sitcom and nationwide award winning book 'Fatherhood', but for me he always had a unique way of handling his 'sitcom son' Theo Huxtable.

Whenever Theo would get into trouble or come to his father, Heathcliff, for help he would sit his son down and give him some guidance and support....but it was the actions after the father speech that I was always intrested in!! After every father-son talk it was tradition for the two of them to head to the kitchen and make the all famous Heathcliff Huxtable Hoagie!!

I'll be dead honest, but when I was younger watching the show I had no clue what a hoagie was until I asked my brother. That's when my love for a well tailored sub/sandwich came alive!! I'm sure by this point you've all made your own personal critics on my love for sandwiches, but I would like to introduce you to someone who feels the same way I do.

A colleague of mine introduced me to a Mr. John Chonko, who believe it or not also shares the same infactuation of sandwiches as I do.....maybe a bit more. John is so in love with sandwiches that he decided to take it to the next level and start a website called Scanwiches.com. 'Scanwiches' you ask? He purchases custom sandwiches within the greater New York area and with his girlfriends old HP scanner, he scans a new sandwich daily to share the feeling of what it's like to bite into a perfectly built hoagie!! He's got a new cult following of sandwich whores, and I'm definitely on board. He might have a hard time trying to keep the scanner screen clean, but his slacks don't share that problem.....clean as can be!! www.Scanwiches.com

Back In The Day.....

I'm sure everybody remembers their high school graduation......good memories for some, funny for others and even sad for a few. Regardless, we all remember the afterparty and all the high school drama that went down that night. It's funny to think about how big of a deal it was to us, at the time, and when we look back it was just a giant mess of a night. When I say 'mess' what I'm referring to is the amount of booze that was being consumed and how cool we all thought we were.

Some of us still feel the need to re-create that night on a weekly basis (Bottlesaurus Rex), but for the rest of us it's just fun to look back and have a good laugh. We've all grown up since that day, mentally and physically.....except for one special beauty. Not only has it been 20 years and the original prom outfit still fits, but she's rockin' a clean pair of slacks under the whole ensemble.....and yes that is my older, more responsible, smart, beautiful math wiz sister!!!
