The thought of using that tool and missing or bouncing off the log and it coming somewhere between my knees to my pelvis just gives me the worst chills.

Yes. I'm not a big Jersey Mike's fan. Nothing against it. Think it is pretty good. But just about anything PE gets its tentacles into it screws up and ruins.
I had posted on LinkedIn, what's the over-under on how long it will take them to drive Jersey Mike's into bankruptcy? 18 months, 2 years, 5 years?

I mean while I like Jersey Mike's they are just another sandwich shop and the MBAs are going to look for ways to save pennies so do they not cut the meat in front of you? What changes? The biggest benefit of Jersey Mike's is they cuts the meat and has cheesesteaks. If they use precut meat, then why not firehouse or potbelly or a number of options. Also subway owns the market on "I'm gonna punish myself with a low quality sandwich".

When I worked at Subway- we baked the bread in the store and actually sliced the meat on the slicer like they do now at Jersey Mikes. We didn't use the turkey based shit meat they used now. Also back then, our portions could actually feed an adult without having to buy double meat. Subway is trash food- lowest form of sustenance. None of their meat is "real"

It's not just mid 50s but early 40s also remembers that
EDIT: last night my wife found a picture of like 9 year old me meeting a ninja turtle at subway, I told her I bet I got a pizza sub aftwards. She told me it must have been the best day of my life, to which I told her it was until I married her.

So far what I am picking up here is the Manny is a quitter, is not very attractive, has odor and jewelry related issues, and coaches at a school that does not care that he has these problems because its not basketball.

Hey in VERY small doses, the Hallmark Channel is .tolerable. However , unlike Forrest's 'box of chocolates', with the Hallmark Channel you ALWAYS know what you're gonna get! (If they aren't already doing it, they should fire the writers and just have ChatGPT write the screenplays- they'd probably be LESS formulaic that way.)

Now that its basically Christmas season, my wife has started watching the cheesy ass Hallmark movies. My favorite game to play is to guess the plot because I swear they all have the same plots. Some woman moves back to her small home town and finds love during Christmas.

Manny Diaz tears the ketchup packets at the other end from the "Tear Here" sign. Then he tries to open three packets at the same time, and ends up having to use his teeth.

Manny Diaz tries to heat up the smelliest foods he can find in the Duke football facilities' break room. Cabbage, fish, popcorn, anything with a strong odor. When confronted about it, he replies with, "It's just Manny being Manny."

I worked midshore for a bit, and drove home on Rt 50 towards the beach each night. Thursdays were the craziest days because you had the retirees coming down for an extended weekend, with nowhere to be fast, and the guys from the western shore that had to get to the bar in OC before happy hour was over. 3 wide on a 2 lane road, trucks doing 95 in a 50, cars doing 51 in a 55, it was WILD. Everyone thought Fridays were the worst, but everyone was on the same page on Fridays. Train cars...get in line and drive 68 and don't move.

"Manny Diaz" anagrams to "An Adz In My", and I'll let you imagine where that adz is.
The thought of using that tool and missing or bouncing off the log and it coming somewhere between my knees to my pelvis just gives me the worst chills.
Reminds me of playing "Stump" at a NASCAR tailgate resulting in a permanent dent in my shin bone.
they really should have named that tool subtractz
Manny Diaz thinks he is a good coach.
Manny Diaz thought the turnover chain was the greatest thing introduced to football since the forward pass.
Manny Diaz coaches Duke football.
Manny Diaz left Temple after 18 days, only to suck at Miami and get fired anyways.
Manny Diaz thinks it's a great idea for Blackrock to purchase a majority stake in Jersey Mike's as private equity always makes restaurants better.
aw fuck
did they really?!
Rumors here in NJ are they are buying it for 8 Billion. Not bad for a kid who bought the sub shop he worked at 17 years old in 1971 for a $125k. Loan.

Something we can agree on
And for old people like me in their mid-50s, we can remember when Subway was very good. Yep, times have changed not for the better.

Very cool story. And smart move with saying that to the wife :-).
Eh, idk, maybe it was regional or something but I'm 45 and never remember Subway being "good"
mid 90s they stopped baking their bread and they brought in a microwave and it went down fast.
Subway circa Happy Gilmore sponsorship was when I remember it being good.
it was definitely better then than it is now but I still think even then it was already on its downward trajectory
I was only 9 at the time, so I can vaguely remember it being a treat if my mom would take me to the one next to the Ukrops we would grocery shop at.
Sheetz has at least some of that market.
And my kids love it, which absolutely sucks. If the Wawa wasn't a 15 minute drive away, I would absolutely ban Sheetz food in my house.

So far what I am picking up here is the Manny is a quitter, is not very attractive, has odor and jewelry related issues, and coaches at a school that does not care that he has these problems because its not basketball.
Manny Diaz loves the Hallmark Channel.

Now that its basically Christmas season, my wife has started watching the cheesy ass Hallmark movies. My favorite game to play is to guess the plot because I swear they all have the same plots. Some woman moves back to her small home town and finds love during Christmas.
There are only 4 plots for all Hallmark movies.
That many?
Okay, 4 variations of the same plot.

To be fair, any faster and the potholes will rip a wheel off if you're in PA
That is very true!
lmao at the comments 28 seconds apart suggesting he's from pennsylvania AND delaware
the only thing we know is that Manny's not from Maryland, because if he was he'd be going 15 over in the right shoulder
