Escalades are big, but not nearly big enough to fit a Nike manufacturing plant. Malaysia is a much better choice.

Anyone care for a bite of broodwich? You don’t know it? Here are the ingredients:

> [@ATHF](#):

> “Forged in darkness from wheat harvested in Hell’s half-acre, baked by Beelzebub, slathered with mayonnaise beaten from the evil eggs of dark chicken forced into sauce by the hands of a one-eyed madman, cheese boiled from the rancid teat of a fanged cow, layered with six-hundred and sixty-six separate meats from an animal which has maggots for blood. And mustard…DIJON mustard!” Also, it turns out, sun-dried tomatoes. Bacon is extra, as there are “no swine evil enough to be sacrificed upon a bed of evil, and lettuce”

[QUOTE=Cluricaun]  
Except this isn’t about sandwiches, it’s about the fact that you came screaming in here half cocked calling people names and not having any idea what the fuck you’re talking about and admitting that you hadn’t even read the fucking thread.

Or more to the point, this is about the fact that you’re such a giant douche bag that your mere presence in an area creates a fucking flood hazard.  
[/QUOTE]

Is that what it’s about? Because I knew it wasn’t about the sandwiches but I thought it was about a bunch of morons starting up long stupid “joke” hijacks that would only be funny if you are a simpleton or had been smoking pot until 4 in the morning.

Seriously, dude, if you had actually read the thread, you would see that the sammich thing was the most valuable thing about it.

In steerage, no less. Which is where, coincidentally enough, most of the sandwiches consumed on the ship were eaten.

Fine, you don’t like the joke I put forth then that’s no skin off my nose. They can’t all be winners, I’ve been here long enough to know that this is a tough crowd and I ain’t that funny.

I wouldn’t have even responded to your bitching if you hadn’t gone waaay off the deep end with your jackass observation and needlessly attacked **freekalette** by using the vilest language you could find. Really, if you’d just posted “I don’t think the sandwich thing is funny or relevant to the discussion at hand” then good for you, you humorless turd. But when it comes to hijacks in this thread, you’re the one that fucked that ditch pig. Not me, and not anyone else and nothing you can protest is going to change that. You’re just a troll on top of another troll. Enjoy your sloppy seconds.

Okay, so I bought more sammich fixin’s. (Yes, yes. SaNDWich. Piss off.)

I fed six people today on freerice, which felt good, but I’m still having trouble finding info on the group I most want to help. Somehow, Googling “child prostitution” just seems like a really bad idea, especially since I need to narrow it down to my local area. Any Dopers able to think of a suitable word combination are hereby eligible for extra condiments on their next sammich. Any takers?

Sexual Slavery? White Slavery? I don’t think Googling “child prostitution” is going to bring up website offering the service, cc’d to the local police.

Hmm. ‘child prostitution ohio’ brought out 337,00 hits. Some were organizations like

www.victimsofviolence.on.ca/research50.html

and

[www.nursinglibrary.org/Portal/main.aspx?pageid=4024&sid=12322](http://www.nursinglibrary.org/Portal/main.aspx?pageid=4024&sid=12322)

But no sirens went off. I’ll let you know if I notice an increase in police presence in my neighborhood, or suddenly start getting pulled over for minor infractions.

Just came back to mention… I do call it a ‘sammich’… Just cos I like the sound of the word.

Oh, and to keep on topic: Yes. We’re all horrible.

Anyone got any extra really sharp cheddar?
