Ah yes, slam doors and non-corridor rolling-stock, those were the days!

One telephone between at least 4 people and the curly cord between the receiver and the cradle was always tangled up and never quite reached to where it was needed.

Oh my - BLT's are absolutely fantastic! Somehow, I don't consider them as part of my normal sandwich routine (I'm avoiding bacon as a daily ingredient), but every now and then I go to a place that does them well and they are out of this world! Well-toasted white bread, nice crunchy lettuce, good fresh tomato slices, and lots of super-crispy bacon .... oh ... I want one now!

They're really very good. Kicks the shit out of Subway, though they don't have quite as much options for customization. For my money, they don't need it though.

The bread is very good though, we buy the left-over bread they sell for 48c per baguette and use it to make sandwiches for lunch on the weekends. Lovely.

A BR guard slammed a slam door on my left thumb while I was reaching out to close it, it's never been right since. I was pulling on the door and he slammed it so it was right where the door hinged into the frame.

Hurt a bit.

BAhn mi are either amazing or revolting there is no middle ground. But it is a good bread option because it's french style so not as much HFCS

Do yourself a favor and go to a cheap Mexican place and order a torta. They're cheap places to eat, and I had an excellent one in Coney Island, Brooklyn of all places. It was a huge and very tasty hot chicken torta topped with vegetables and guac on the side.
