FEAR MY SANDWICH ARMY
This morning when I walked into my usual breakfast place to pick up my egg whites on toast, I was treated to a singular exhibition of mass sandwich-making. Arrayed on the counter were 10 pairs of toast. On the top slice of each was slathered mayo. On the bottom half of each a squirt of ketchup was applied. On top of the mayo was placed a mound of homefried potatos. Two slices of baked ham were folded on top of the ketchup. Hot from the griddle, large vegetable omelets were dropped onto the potatos. Then hot sauce was applied to each. Ten identical, very odd sandwiches. Then they placed them in a heart-shaped box and called the delivery boy.

Ew, that sandwich is like the "evil frogurt" scene in the Simpsons.

Who would eat 1 of these? Who would eat 10???? Where would you get 10 people in the same room who would all want that particularly sandwich!

maybe it's some sort of strange sandwich-tasting club?

When staring at a the heart shaped box did you cut yourself on Angel Hair and baby's breath? You might have just chosen to the eat the cancer though.

I don't think I saw them put any cancer on the sandwiches, unless it was pre-mixed in the omelet portion.

I can't tell if you got the Nirvana reference or not. Let's just say you did and my reply would be, I am sorry for referencing Nirvana over breakfast.

Couldn't sleep until I corrected this.
"I can't tell if you got the Nirvana reference or not. Let's just you did and my reply would be, I am sorry for referencing cancer over breakfast."

That feels much better.

Wow, potato sandwiches. How do they put the two halves of the sandwiches together?

hah, now I am picturing a sandwich shop set up like a miniature shipyard with little cranes straddling each piece of bread/sub/wrap and dropping ingredients on them. It is DARLING.

That reminds me of Hephaistos's walking kettles in the Iliad.

I don't see what's wrong with those sandwiches. I would eat up to three of them.

Maybe the valentine's box was the only one they had that was big enough?

I could definitely sink my teeth into some potatoes in a sandwich.
