    I don’t know if this comic was one of the more autobiographical ones, but if you are still working on the whole losing weight for charity thing you might want to rethink the chicken bacon ranch. They are really good, I know. However, they are also very intensely unhealthy. A footlong has over 1000 calories, according to their website. You might as well be eating pizza or something. Go for the sweet onion chicken teriyaki super mega longest sandwich name in the world. It tastes pretty good, and has a LOT fewer calories, a footlong being about 700 calories. You could almost eat another half a sandwich and come out ahead.

    Anyway, I’ll stop telling everyone what to do now.

    They actually dare to call that cardboard container bread ?

    *shudder*

    Subway… where you lose weight from the generous infusion of parasites in every bite!

    Seriously… I stopped eating there because a friend of mine in RI had to have her intestines essentially hosed out because they were full of parasites she ingested along with one of Subway’s sandwiches.

    Best plan for weight loss I know of (that involves no “fast food”) is to eat fist-sized portions of baked meats, fruits, and vegetables five times a day (trying to eat at well-spaced intervals, and never after 7pm). Healthier and easier on the body, and less chance for parasitic infection!

    Dude, I know this is a true story, or at least inspired by actual events, because, that kid made me a sub the other day.

    he is being extra nice to everyone because he wants to keep his job, he kept telling me…hey, tell the lady over there I am doing a good job, she is my manager.
    also, the drawing looks just like the little punk.

    I’d rather have the overly-chatty sandwich monkey than the ones I get saddled with in DC. The conversation usually goes along the lines of…

    “Yeah, whatchoo want?”
    “Nah, you don’t want that. You want this one right here.”
    “Oh snap, you mean I gotta make the sammich and shit now. I didn’t sign up for this.”

    About that time I usually give the guy the finger and leave before the cops are called on a quadruple homocide. Society seems to frown on beating people to death with loaves of fresh baked hearty wheat bread.

    Yeah, i dont mind subway unless someone tells me its healthy, then i get quite angry. As far as the weight thing goes, you should do what i did, go to the army recruiting office and ask them for a workout poster. And then buid up to different levels of fitness that they require. And in no time you are going to be a killing machine. And its like a million times easier than going to the gym, no equipment needed :) I can do my work out in the time it would take me to find my car keys if i wanted to go to the gym!

  7. Jeege Says:

    Wow! Thats a great idea, Evan.

    And a great comic today. And I saw Coldplay last night.

    What a friggin great day.

    Parasites aside (although it would explain a few things… but that’s another story), Subway is evil. Subway employees get bonuses for intentionally skimping on toppings. Also, their steak and cheese? Microwav’d! Can anyone say “suck”? If you’re going to eat steak and cheese, go to Jerry’s because it’s infinitely better, and it’s not like steak and cheese is healthy in any way, shape or form, even at Subway.

    Also, if I’m going to try to eat healthy, I’d flat out avoid eating out except for a few things. One thing I’ve taken to, not really because of any fitness goal but just because I like it (although it is pretty damn healthy, too), is sushi. You should try it if you’ve got a Whole Foods Market near you. There happens to be one on my way home from school, so I just make it my dinner on days I have classes. My favorites are the inari, the crabmeat california rolls (not the fake crab, which is nasty), and the veggie california rolls (avoid the cucumber/avacado unless you absolutely hate carrots and/or spinach).

    Yeah, Army PT is actually a great way to get into shape. I did it for a couple of months with the recruiters when I was thinking about joining up, and it really works your ass out.

    And yeah, the CBR is really fatty from Subway. The only way to keep their shit low fat is to not get ANY dressings, heh. The Chicken Teryiaki is what I normally get though, and I don’t think the Sweet Onion sauce is that fatty. Blarg!

    My problem with Subway is that it tastes awful. At least they bake their sponges, err I mean bread, fresh.

  12. Diego Says:

    I understand you’re in a hurry and all, but man, if you don’t tell us what bread you want it on how do you expect us to make the damn thing? Small-talk aside, some of the dumbest damn customers come in and order everything they want ON the sandwich, but you have to interrogate them before they’ll give in and tell you what bread they want it on! Just move down the line - bread, meat, cheese, vegetables, dressing, side orders like chips and drinks, and you’re done!

    Oh, and don’t even get me started on the bastards who go through the whole line at lunchtime, with a line out the door, and get to the end of the line before they decide to tell you they wanted another four sandwiches. Oh, and a salad. Fucking salads.

    (By the way, I know the food sucks. I just worked there, man.)

    i used to be an assistant manager at subway………i personally told customers the truth about jared….most people don’t realize that it wasn’t the food at subway that made jared skinny…he walked like 5 miles to and from subway everyday to get the food..that’s 10 miles! plus he got the veggie delight, no cheese, no mayo no taste….and the people who ususally were asking about the fattiness of the sandwiches were the main ones ordering extra cheese extra meat and extra mayo on there foot long….and i know what you mean diego about the lunch time train wrecks as my crew used to call them….after they did that i would stop the line until they gave me all there sandwiches..our store was in a gas station and down the street from a community college so you can imagine our lines..but my “favorites” were the ones who said yea give me a foot long turkey on white with everything and then would walk away……by the time they came back they had a loaded footlong turkey on white with everything including peppercinis and jalopenos….and for the skimpy toppings they make you put a little on each sandwich…but my manager had to watch me i was always the one who took that to mean a handful of each
