Subway is running a Scrabble promotion. If the world ended and only a Scrabble board and a Subway franchise were left, I would seriously be completely happy living out my days in the ruins of humanity. S-A-M-M-I-C-H: 16 points + all letters bonus = 66 points. Challenges could be settled by footlong bread loaf fencing matches.

I actually played Scrabble against myself the other day and totally kicked my ass. Now I know how my friends feel all the time. I used all my letters TWICE as Eric 2 while Eric 1 just sat there with 6 vowels and a turkey sandwich.

Words don’t usually suffice when it comes to describing my hatred for “instant win” opportunities that actually require you to go home and sit at your computer and enter long alphanumeric codes and sign up for a mailing list and do a bunch of other shit just to be told to try again (there might be a metaphor for life as we know it in there) but I am way into this. In fact, today I reorganized my internet bookmarks and added subwayfreshbuzz.com to the folder “important shit.” Okay, that’s not true, I don’t have an “important shit” folder. Guys who have time to reorganize their internet bookmarks don’t have important shit to worry about.

However, I did do one important shite today: we signed the lease on our new place! Humboldt Park, here we come. Also, we had us some Subway.
