Hello sandwich lovers of the world, and specifically New York City. Very interesting site... Looking at the close-up pictures of people eating is making my stomach churn - I'll assume it's because of hunger. By the way, the Yankees suck.
Speaking of those doddering decrepit deficients from the Bronx, here's a short film dug up by the Dirt Dogs depicting Roger Clemens in the year 2057. Now that's delicious...

Smarmy is as Smarmy does
Welcome home, first of all let me direct your attention to the sidebar under the links tab. There's a new link to a website called Delicious Sandwich. It's a sandwich review blog for deli's and such in NYC. Pretty interesting.
Once again it's been a while since my last posting. It's getting to the point that I post once a quarter. So as my quarterly post this will be a big 'ol spectacle. Much like what you, my adoring public, are accustomed to.
Lately I have tried becoming an optimist. For most of my life I have been the staunch pessimist, I have bragged about it, flaunted it in the faces of the optimistic. Now I have decided that life is too damned short and that I need to do something that would help me be happy. Mind you, for most of my pessimistic years I was depressed. As of late, what with my optimistic point of view the depression has left. It's a good feeling, really good feeling. Part of the paradigm shift is the idea that people are naturally good. I try to believe this so that I can sleep at night. Then I actually interact with people and they shake my new belief system. I try not to hate and yet people I meet dare me to hate them. Case in point...Smarmy has taken a job. The job is that of a waiter at a little italian place. The owners of the place, we'll call "Sid's", are evil. Now I go into this situation thinking that all people are, at their core, good. Then I work with this woman who would turn Medusa to stone. Now here I am with an idea that is shattered before it could ever really take hold. I don't know what to believe. Oh yeah and politicians also make me really feel sorry for humanity as a whole. As long as there are politicians, and that means everyone who ever really wanted to hold political office, we are fucked. I cannot vote for someone who actually wants to be part of that system. Remember that this is an uneducated opinion. Just one hobo spewing forth my vile ideas.
To sum up this post, we're all fucked...that's really it.
Hope we all live to old age,
Smarmy

Sosa hits #600, now 66 behind Satan
Sammy Sosa hit his 600th career home run last night, and as he rounded the bases, the stadium PA began playing the theme from "The Natural." There's nothing natural about Sosa's 600 home runs. He used steroids and a corked bat - shouldn't he be at 800 by now?
Jason Giambi faces a deadline today to agree to meet with George Mitchell's steroid investigation. Bud Selig says he wants players to come forward and provide information, but the one active player who's said anything about the issue, Giambi, now faces possible suspension. And in other news, the former Mets clubhouse attendant's offer to plea-bargain was rejected. The only way Selig will get the information he seeks is to offer amnesty - there's no way to go back and correct the record books, all we can do now is move forward more informed.
And speaking of the record books, some would argue the steroids era makes it impossible to compare records from previous years. Yet Babe Ruth never faced a black pitcher, so how legitimate are his records? To get an idea how comparable baseball records are from different eras, take a look at the National League record for wins in a single season - 59. By "Old Hoss" Radbourn in 1884. Baseball records have never been comparable spanning eras - you can only look at what someone did in relation to his peers. I don't see anyone else sitting on 748...
