Who wants to help me make 10,000 pastrami sandwiches for our newest addition to the 10k mansion?

Asked by Vunessuh (16727points) October 28th, 2010

Congratulations to bob_ for hitting the 10k milestone!

I was lucky enough to get a room right next to the kitchen so I could watch over my spatulas and now you’re lucky enough to get a room right next to me so I can make you a sandwich anytime you’d like. Pastrami? Roast beef? Turkey? Grilled cheese? Peanut butter and jelly? You got it. Wearing something sexy of course. XD

WOOHOO. Time to party with one of the friendliest and funniest jellies around.

This is for you.
Muah!

Let’s Skype later and I’ll show you my tomatoes and you can show me your pickle. ON YOUR SANDWICH. DUH! XD

MissA's avatar

I have these two beautiful, but small tomatoes…the last of the season…that you are welcome to place on your favorite sandwich. You’ll need to see, @worriedguy if you need a hefty baguette! I haven’t actually tasted them…but, they are being advertised as scrumptious.

Trillian's avatar

Congratulations @bob_ . I’m late again, working you know. And once again, no sam damwiches left!

@lillycoyote

Let’s see you design THAT on a menu.
Very thorough, Lilly.

lillycoyote's avatar

@MissA I have to confess that the sandwich list is a cut and paste job from Wikipedia. I should have mentioned the source. It’s the thought that counts though, right?

MissA's avatar

@lillycoyote

That would be correct!

Here’s a Dagwood for bob_

rpm_pseud0name's avatar

I’ll apologize now. I just finished writing this & I didn’t mean for it to be so long & stupid. It’s nonsense, useless & was an excuse to not do my real work. Please, feel free to skip over this.

bob is a simple man. A man of routine. A man with a singular request. A man who just wants a fuc#ing sandwich. One day, bob was out at a movie rental gallery (because no one has told him about netflix) & while he was paying the extra $1.75 rental insurance for, Norbit, he noticed a game set-up beside the counter. The sign read, ‘Drop a nickel in the shot glass & you win a lurve sandwich’. The shot glass was at the bottom of a massive aquarium that was filled with water & seahorses. bob looks the cashier dead in the eyes, points at the sign & says, “Is this shit for real?!” The cashier nods yes & bob quickly thumbs through his change & finds a nickel.

bob stands over the aquarium, taking aim at the shot glass. He drops the nickel. (Paloop) The nickel flutters downward as the seahorses dart away. (Clink) The nickel strikes the rim of the glass & falls to the aquarium floor amongst all the seahorse poop. “You stupid fuc#ing dumb ass piece of sh#t game.” bob screams. He takes a deep breath & calmly picks up his rental & leaves.

The next day, bob returns with the movie & half of his life insurance policy cashed in, all in nickels. 5,000 of them. bob hurls the movie, nailing the cashier in the head, “I’ll be over here if you need me.” bob settles in & takes one nickel at a time & drops it carefully into the tank. Each time – a miss. He changes tactics. Throwing a nickel from across the room. Dropping it with eyes closed. Secretly dropping a fistful at a time. Nothing works. bob is down to his last nickel. He stands on top of the counter & throws it with great might towards the water. With a big splash, the nickel is submerged & like a torpedo, careens towards the shot glass. It is lined up perfectly. It looks to be a perfect goal, when suddenly, a unsuspecting seahorse glides into the line of fire. The nickel strikes the seahorse dead & both fall to the blanket of seahorse poop & non-winning nickels. bob jumps down from the counter, “Something is wrong with one of your seahorses. I’ll be back tomorrow.”

bob returns the next day, with the other half of his life insurance policy cashed in for another 5,000 nickels. He sets up operation by the tank & notices something different. All the seahorses are gone. “Sir?” bob yells while he snaps his fingers to get the guys attention. “What happened to the seahorses?” The cashier sadly explains, “They all died from nickel poisoning.” bob thinks for a moment, “But the game still works, right?” The cashier nods & bob continues his expedition.

For the sake of time, blah blah blah, bob misses every shot & we come to his final nickel.

His final nickel! bob holds it close to his heart. He closes his eyes. Thinking of that wonderful lurve sandwich. How tasty it must be. bob holds his hand out over the tank. Keeping his eyes closed & whispering a prayer to the sandwich gods – the nickel is released. (Paloop) bob waits. It feels like an eternity before he finally hears that heavenly sound. (Clink clink) bob looks down to see the nickel resting in the belly of the shot glass.

bob quietly walks over to the cashier & says, “I would like my lurve sandwich now.” The cashier reaches from under the counter & brings up, the most beautiful sandwich he has ever seen. He hands it over to bob.

10,000. 10,000 attempts. 10,000 times, bob has strived for top tier lurve. 10,000 throws to finally be able to take a bite of this glorious sandwich.

bob takes a modest bite & savors it. He swallows the first bite & stares at the cashier & says, “I’ve had better.” bob tosses the sandwich into the trash & starts to walk out the store. The cashier takes down the sign for the game & replaces it. “Drop a nickel in the shot glass & win a lurve-ier sandwich.” bob stops in his tracks, points at the sign & says, “Is this shit for real?!”

To be continued after bob has thrown 20,000 nickels into the tank for another chance at lurve.

Congratulations, bob. Sorry for wasting yours & everyone else’s time.
