I'm Worthless!

Vacation Bar

Since the Lounge burned down, I have been searching for a replacement watering hole. I've tried many potentials but none feel quite right. The closest, and most surprising, possibility has been the Pour House. It's one block from the Lounge and has drawn in many refugees. Also, it's run by former Lounge bartenders and has taken in a lot of the staff left unemployed by the fire. But I still don't feel quite at home there; in fact, I feel a little like I'm on vacation. This has the unfortunate result of me drinking like I'm on vacation which means I got super, think-I'm-in-my-20's drunk three times last week. Now I need a vacation from my vacation bar.

12" Too Much, 6"...Just Not Enough

A 6" sub, no matter how loaded, will not fill you up. The 12", however, is daunting; no one needs that much sandwich. I feel pressured to eat all 12" and often wind up too full. My solution: Subway should make 9" subs. "However will they do that? The system is based on 12" rolls cut in half to make 2 6" rolls," you ask? I have given this careful thought and here are the options:

  1. Cut off 3" and donate the remainders to food kitchens
    (a'la the muffin top)
  2. Cut off 3" and offer a 3" sub
  3. Just bake a damn 9" roll!
