      Do you think it’s made up of a sandwich as big as a mountain, or a pile of sandwiches as tall as a mountain?

        I’m down with either, though leaning slightly more towards a pile of sandwiches as tall as a mountain, so there’s more chance of sandwich variety.

        Either would be glorious, though I suppose I would prefer a pile of sandwiches as tall as a mountain, as a mountain-sized sandwich might cause Godzilla-esque monsters or kaiju or something to arise from the deep to devour it.

      I went through Sandwich Mountain Time today!

      (Read: I had a 30 minute layover in Salt Lake City and bought a 3-cheese and tomato sandwich.)

    I wonder if Universal Standard Tim is related to Wedding Tim, who came into being thanks to some improperly-placed signage at my friend’s ceremony a couple years ago. He’s like the Tooth Fairy but for newlyweds. Wedding Tim!

    Morris Day and the Time should have won in Purple Rain. They were the far superior act. I mourn their loss and this site’s celebration of a rigged competition’s false winner.

      RIGHT? I mean I love Prince but how can you compare with Jerome bringing him a mirror in the middle of the set?

      Though I saw Prince live and he covered “Jungle Love” and it was incredible.

      I wish I still had sound editing software so I could make a little OH-EE-OH-EE-OH calendar alert.

        Or maybe it could say, “Jesse! Now, now Jerome” when it’s time to go to a meeting or whatever.

        Central really is the lamest time zone. Here in Mountain we’re all hanging out on mountain tops, tossing Cheetos to marmots, spinning around and singing the hiiills are alive… etc.

          Central time really is lame with the hour early prime time, like we are all a bunch of early to bed, early to rise mid-western farmers. Thank god for Tivo, so I can now watch TV at a proper time.

            Are you kidding? Watching things and still getting to bed nice and early is the BEST part of central time.

            I’m seriously jealous, as a person who often goes “It doesn’t start until 9?? But I’m tiiiiired!!”

            Right? I’m originally from the Midwest, and after moving to the East Coast, the only thing I miss is the fact that Prime Time starts at 7PM.

          Mountain time also has an hour early prime time, only we get to watch it an hour after Eastern AND Central times. Lose/lose?

    For many seconds longer than I care to admit, I tried to figure out the joke behind having a canister vacuum cleaner trapped in the Bermuda Triangle. Don’t worry though, I’ve thrown myself away now.
