NAME: The “Egg Sandwich Salad” LOCATION: Prague, Czech republic INGREDIENTS: Egg salad on toasted rye NOTES: Sandwich Lore #3: There once was born a boy with an eye like a diamond.  The sun shone refracted and beautiful in that eye, dazzling whoever looked in it.  This boy had two older brothers, and he was revered and hated by his brothers; revered for his eye, but hated for the attention it brought him.  So the brothers resolved one day to kill the boy as he slept beneath a wide oak tree in the middle of the field by the river by their house. They killed him and his eye, right there beneath the oak tree.

NAME: The “Egg Salad Rendezvous” LOCATION: Prague, Czech Republic INGREDIENTS: Egg Salad that I made, Tomato, Lettuce NOTES: Sandwich Lore #2: A man and a woman had been married happily for twenty-nine years.  One day, for no reason, the man became extremely unhappy with his wife and left to fight a war in a far-off land, and there he died.  Oh wait there actually was a reason why he got mad at his wife:  She made terrible sandwiches.

NAME: The “Sand Witch” (GET IT???) LOCATION: Prague, Czech Republic INGREDIENTS: Chicken (Gyro style), Bun, Mayo, Mustard, Red Onion, Tomato NOTES: Sandwich Lore #1:  A long time ago, a man was lost in the desert for forty days and forty nights, surving on sand and scorpion bites.  Eventually the man made his way out of the desert.  The first thing he did upon entering his house was to make an enormous sandwich.  But so hungry was the man that he forgot the bread.  The man died.

#5 – The Earth’s Atmosphere

stuffpeoplelike:

78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, 100% Thing People Like. It is a commonly held fact that people love the atmosphere more than their own children.  You can’t go anywhere these days without seeing some person or another sucking down the atmosphere like it was air.

Many things on the Earth, like rocks, have never even taken a single breath of the atmosphere.  People, on the other hand, swear by it.  You will frequently overhear people talking about how they would “literally die” without the Earth’s 50-mile thick atmosphere separating them from the harsh vacuum of space.

If you want to make a person feel good simply walk up to them and say, “Aren’t you glad the chemical composition of Earth’s atmosphere is precisely compatible with carbon-based life?”  The person will almost certainly reply, “Yes.”  They may even give you a high-five, provided they are not a paraplegic. This is equally true in Portland, Oregon.

Not a sandwich, but I just made a joke tumblr in honor of Stuff White People Like coming out in book form tomorrow.  I had actually not seen SWPL before tonight [!!!].  I think it is a little bit funny but but a lot ripe for parodying.  This is for you, Lee, since I think you’re the only person who reads my sandwich blog but not my real blog.
