What Makes a Sandwich?


No, I never did work for Subway, so one cannot say I am a sandwich artist, but I do know what turns two hunks of bread into something beautiful. Here are some ingredients that will take your sandwich to the next level.

1. Mustard - Number one for good reason. Don't know if you can call something without mustard a sandwich

2. Rye Bread- Dark or light rye bread. Adds another dimension of flavor.

3. Crisp, Fresh Cucumber - Cucumber must be added fresh or the water makes the sandwich soggy, which basically ruins it. Cucumbers add a bit of crunch that adds to the texture element of the sandwich

4. Turkey - Turkey is alright, but leftover turkey in a sandwich, WOW

5. Salt - Salt just brings out the flavor of everything, makes the eating experience that much better

6. Miracle Whip (Probably shouldn't mix MW with Mustard though, MW is more of a replacement for those who haven't learned to fully appreciated mustard)

7. Green Onions - Green onions bring a unique flavor that can't be replaced.

8. Alfalfa Sprouts - Makes the sandwich large, yet light. They are the perfect filler for a sandwich

Now go build a sandwich.

Fashionable Automobiles

Some people don't know how to design cars. Here are a few examples of new cars that look disgusting, in a not too particular order.

1. Renault Twingo - what the heck...twingo..?







2. Opel Agila - Maybe Agila is greek for ugly...?







3. Ford Ka - american car company produces european-style ugly cars







4. Citroen Xsara Picasso - Any car with "Picasso" has absolutely no chance






5. Renault Kangoo - Kangoo? Seriously?






6. Peugeot 107 - Small and relativily dumb looking, but driveable i guess







7. Fiat Multipla - My personal favourite...one fine looking automobile

Things We Can('t) Live Without


How much of the things that fill our life do we actually need? Are we wasteing our precision time on money on things we can live without? What is essential to living? Here are a few things that we can obviously live without, but don't. Some hypothetical ideas, others are proven facts.

1. Shampoo (Proven) - Shampoo doesn't do anything. I thought it did, until somebody told me I was wrong. For debates of this nature, there is only one way to find the truth. So I stopped using shampoo and conditioner. I rinsed my hair, but no hair products were used. At first my hair was greasy, really greasy. But after a week or 2, something magical happened, the grease went away and all that remained was my silky-smooth hair. I carried on for 6 weeks, no complaints, no problems.

2. Paris Hilton (Proven) - She just has no place in America or "the limelight". She is kinda annoying, isn't she?

3. Brushing Your Teeth (Somewhat Proven) - Ever wonder why you brush your teeth? My little brother did once. So he stopped. 3 months, no teeth brushing. Funny thing is, nobody noticed. You eat something in the morning and the bad breath goes away. When you eat apples and carrots, they clean your teeth for you. So why are we brushing our teeth soo much? I don't know. Don't worry, I still do. And so does my little bro, as far as I know.

4. Pencils (Hypothetical) - Lets just not make mistakes people.

5. Cellphones (Sorta Proven) - I don't own one, and I don't intend to for quite some time. Cellphones are a trap. Everyone who has one relies on them, can't live without one. People did fine without them before we had such a wonderful technology. I see them as a small waste of money which I will inevitably one day waste my money on.

6. Sunscreen Lotion (Hypothetical) - Just don't burn. I never burn. Ever.

The Best of the Best


So I like sports, pretty much all sports. Sports contain athletes, athletes are real people, and some people are out-right loopy. Hence, a list of my favorite whacky-athletes and a little bit of why I love these guys.

1. Terrell "I hate my QB" Owens - Probably the most retarded W.R. in the NFL. Gotta love a teammate who bashes your quarterback and whines when his team doesn't throw a parade for his 100th TD. He has an autobiography that he has never read and has the most ridiculous TD dances. And when explaining what he would do with his 1 week suspension, "I'm going to the Bahamas. I'm going to get a tan." This man is pure entertainment

2. Latrell "Gotta feed my family" Sprewell - One quote by this former NBA superstar should explain all. In an interview, he was being questioned on why he was holding out and demanding an impressive contract extension to go along with his $14.6 million contracnt he replied, "Why would I want to help them win a title?" They're not doing anything for me. I'm at risk. I have a lot of risk here. I got my family to feed." Makes you wonder, what the heck does he feed his family?

3. Floyd "Do you want another excuse?" Landis - I don't know if he took steriods, and I don't really care. But come on, he got a little carried away on why he thought he failed the pee-test. I mean, lets not think out loud here. He stated that it was from the whiskey he enjoyed before the race, that he just has incredibly large amounts of (i guess synthetic) testosterone that occurs naturally in his organism, dehydration=steriods, and he claims that there are 100's of other reasons of why he didn't purposefully take steroids. Let's not forget that this man is Mennonite, the most elite group of people who do not need steriods to completely destroy at any sport. (Landis has a daughter, named Ryan....)

4. Shaquille "Diesel" Oneal - Gotta love a guy who is 7 feet, 340 pounds, and loves to make fun of his opponents. Not only does he roll around on camera-men and attempts to pull the whole net down every dunk, but he loves to play with the media. He made fun of Kobe, he has a cell-phone (and video camera) in his all-star game shoes, and he calls Erick Dampier "Ericka" and insists he should be playing in the WNBA. Pure class.

5. Rocky "No Teeth" Thompson - Who remembers this fury of wrath that graced the ice of Calgary while they were, ummm, "re-building". He couldn't really skate, but he would fight anyone and everyone in his twelve game stint with the flames one season, he tallyed 9 fights and numerous penalties. They probably didn't even need to give him a stick because he couldn't use it, unless he needed to slash somebody, or attempt a "McSorley". This man was a true Flame, and exactly what that organization needed to rebuild into the elite, offensiveless team they are today that only rely on there goalie to win games.
