Thanks to everyone for contributing. Special thanks to PtR member AusTechSpur for all his efforts. The donations came to a total of $344.63 after PayPal fees. Plus the $350 I am kicking in and that's $694.63. That's a lot of Schlotzsky's. I ate there today. I asked for no black olives. There were black olives on my sandwich. Whose dumb ass idea was it to put black olives on a damned ham sammich anyway? Does anyone even like black olives? They taste like rotten licorice.
The check will go in the mail tomorrowish. Thanks again.

Black olives are yucky.
I suspect that olives are included Schlotzky’s sandwiches because olives are considered the height of deliciousness by whatever ethnicity Mr. Schlotzky might proudly belong to.
Now that they’ve gone from a little Austin sandwich shop to a chain catering to the masses, maybe they could rethink the olive thing. On the other hand, that would be like Michael Vick not hanging out with his dogfighting buddies from Newport News. You have to keep it real.

Black olives are like most everything else. They are good if you don’t eat the shitty American version of them.

I love that the only thing anyone’s commenting about on this thread is the black olives.

The Schlotzsky’s near my house here in Portland recently shut down due to poor business. It took me years to realize that there even was a Schlotzsky’s in the area (actually there are two), then soon after I move near one (by happenstance) it shuts down. Man do recessions suck. Even if our trade defecit is down due to the weak dollar. Schlotzsky’s is way better than Subway and Quiznos (which can’t seem to toast their overly bready subs as long as they used to).

Schlotzsky’s will always hold the keys to my heart, but try Jimmy John’s and you’ll be impressed. They’re out of Chicago I think, but they’re expanding rapidly.
And incidentally, black olives kick ass. Deal.

i only like the quizno’s sammies from our local arabs. they do make some mean sammies.
i haven’t eaten schlotzky’s in awhile but they were pretty good.
oh yeah and olives are pretty foul in general. only thing i know that is alright is sausage pizza with olives.

All Quizno’s subs taste the same to me.

I’m not a fan of Subway, I could probably make a sandwich that tastes better.

mmm, food...
i live at the corner of s. congress and riverside in austin, tx. i have both a freebird’s and a thundercloud within walking distance. totally spoiled.
while we’re talking sandwiches, though, let me add a few thoughts. schlotzsky’s is the shit, it’s been stated before, but does deserve to be restated. i, however, am a fan of black olives.
the best cheesesteak i’ve ever had - granted mainly confined to within austin - has got to be delaware sub’s cheesesteak. mmmmmmm.

Yeah I haven't been around as much lately
Between work, a new woman in my life and 2 fantasy football leagues, I’ve been really busy. The judging went alright. We won several awards but missed out on the ones we wanted. The whole process seemed a little suspect. We won the audience award (audience thought ours was the best) yet we didn’t win best directing/ writing/ editing or cinematography. Oh well, I’m glad it was well received on PTR.

Let the record show I fully support the consumption of olive oil, which is of course a product of green olives and not the devil’s testicles, also called black olives.

1. I knew a guy in SDSU named Jared. He looked a lot like Chad Pennington and loved sandwiches.
2. I hate black olives. They are literally my least favorite food in the whole world. I’ve always hated their smell, since birth. My dad tried to feed me my first and only black olive when I was three and I vomited all over him. He never tried to feed me anything I didn’t want again.
3. Hardcore knowledgable Stampler fans (if there is such a thing) might be confused and ask, “Hey wait a minute Stampler, I thought mayonnaise is your least favorite food,” but it’s not because a) it’s a condiment, not a food, b) it’s made from a mixture of ingredients rather than being one natural thing like an olive and c) I don’t hate mayonnaise as much as I fear it. I’m literally freaked out by the stuff.
4. My favorite sandwich place is a bay area chain called Mr. Pickles. Ironically, I hate pickles too. And I dislike most veggies and lunchmeats, like ham.
5. All Quiznos sandwiches do not taste alike. But they’re all too pricey.
6. Turkish people make a paste out of black olives. They spread it on their toast like jam or peanut butter. It looks like poo. It’s fucking disgusting. They also, however, sometimes put chocolate paste on their bread. It comes in tubes that are just like toothpaste tubes. When I was a small kid I would literally just suck down a tube of chocolate stuff. Turkish cuisine is very odd. It’s like white-trashy, but Mediterranean white trashy.
7. Am I really gonna get up in less than five hours to watch Argentina-Croatia?
8. Damn skippy I am.
9. No Skippy in Turkey. No peanut butter of any kind. They don’t eat that there. Why would anyone eat peanut butter when you have olive paste and chocolate in a tube?
10. Thanks to everyone involved for the money. I thank you not in direct proportion to how much you gave me but how the amount reflects the total percentage of your net worth. So if you gave me a $100 bucks, but you’re a millionaire, big whoop, but if you give me $5 bucks and you only have $50 in your bank account, well then WAIT WHAT THE FUCK YOU ONLY GAVE ME FIVE BUCKS AFTER ALL I’VE DONE FOR YOU, YOU CHEAP PRICK?

I would have given more if you hadn’t shown your lack of fealty by ditching us for a woman during the season. I’m still bitter. If it happens this year, just lie and say you were going through chemotherapy or something. Letting your love life come between you and your readers shows a lack of priorities and I won’t be treated like that again. (puts fists on hips and thrusts chin up

With a visual like “puts fists on hips and thrusts chin up” (since I’ve met ATS during the playoffs I’m caught between imagining the real life ATS in that posture, and the mental image of his avatar doing that. And since Pop is quite a bit more intimidating (sorry, Wayne) I think the avatar wins that matchup.
This despite the fact that it is strange to think of Pop posing like that instead of his usual dropping his chin, glaring from underneath his eyebrows or his yelling and screaming at the refs while being held back by an assistant or two.

don’t start with me dude. Powell goes weeks at a time without writing and his flimsy excuses are that he works and goes to school 23 hours a day. I mean he actually says he spends time studying. STUDYING!!! What the fuck is that?

It would be like Devastator!
Or like Megatron from the episode where he challenges Optimus Prime to a 1-on-1 fight, then uses an illegal performance-enhancing contraption to temporarily gain the strengths of the other Decepticons.

I love that episode. That was fucking sweet. Of course that was during the cartoons where nobody ever died.
I swear to god that to this day no movie death will ever shake me up more than seeing Brawn, Prowl, Ironhide, Ratchet, Optimus, Windcharger and Wheeljack die in that movie. I mean, it was so unexpected, so out of left field compared to the cartoons. I wasn’t ready for that at all.
It was frankly, jarring. And I can’t possibly be the only 30 year old male who feels that way. At least I hope not.

The smoke coming out of Ratchet’s mouth as his eyes blinked out was horrible. That freaks me out even today.
At the time, I didn’t think anything much of Starscream’s throwing the wounded Decepticons out into space. Thinking back, that was pretty f*ing cold-blooded, and kind of an odd plot twist. I mean, presumably they were in pain, and Megatron had been their leader for thousands of years, and they just left him to drift in space, suffering excruciating pain from his wounds, for the rest of eternity.
The worst, though, was Megatron’s laughing as he executed wounded POW Ironhide. It’s rare to see war crimes depicted in children’s cartoons.

P.S. And about Devastator, he was the only real gestalt (or combiner) that the TFs ever made. It was unique in that there were six of them, not five, they were all the same size instead of one big and four smalls, and each guy could only form one specific body part instead of the four smalls being completely interchangeable as arms and legs. Really the other combiners were kind of horseshit. I guess the Predacons were cool, but really that’s about it.
(But yes, I still bought the Aerialbots, Stunticons, Combaticons, and Protectobots, just the same. Hell, I even bought the Technobots and Terrorcons.)

Maybe it was my lack of engineering prowess as a 3rd grader, or more likely my attention span that made a minute seem like an hour, but I swear it took forever to put Devastator together. Then, once you finally built him, his little parts would fall off with the slightest provocation, so you couldn’t even really play with him.
You’re right, though, about the other combiners. They all had these ridiculous shrunken tiny heads that looked like they had met up with Headhuntercons or something.

The Megratron/Optimus 1-on-1 fight!
I remember watching that episode, and the whole time that Megatron is making all of the Decepticons lend him their powers, I was thinking, “It’s ok. Optimus will still win!” and I felt so disappointed when Megatron kicked his butt that I have no clue how that episode turned out.
Does anyone remember?

I think basically, just when Optimus and company were about to leave planet Earth (as per the bet with Megatron) it was discovered he cheated so they said, “Fuck that.”
