Just finished reading Denis Leary's book, Why We Suck (it's pretty funny but would play better in stand up) and laughed out loud when I came across this picture.It pretty much sums it up (though the 1967 Red Sox thing is interchangeable as Leary freely admits). What made me chuckle the most was the "Great Sandwiches I Have Eaten" as there's a joke about that between me and one of my best friends.
You see, there was a place here in Pittsburgh where they used to serve the best cheesesteaks either of us have ever had--Charlie's in Oakland, right near Pitt campus.
Eateries like this are hard to come by nowadays and this place has been close for several years now. They had old concert posters up on the wall, plush, comfortable seats and served iced tea in mason jars. The decor was perfect for a college campus.
But oh how the cheesesteaks would rock your world!
We used to order a whole one each along with a basket of freshly cut fries and it was outstanding!
My friend said that he was out with a group of people in Chicago one night and they were all talking about their biggest regret in life. Here was his...
"Well, my buddy and I were at this restaurant one night where we usually ordered a whole cheesesteak. For some reason I wasn't hungry and got the half. Of course my buddy admonished me immediately saying that I would regret it. I told him he was crazy...
But then, as I ate the last morsel of my half and saw him digging into his other portion, I realized that I'd made a poor decision...unwise, if you will. I lamented my choice but felt it was foolish to order another one at that point. So I remain sad over that."
And the group he was with offered him an array of puzzled looks as their regrets were about careers, relationships, money, etc.
When he relayed the story to me, I told him that he should have done it in a Christopher Walken voice to really hammer home the point as it sounds like a speech he would make in a movie.
So yes, sandwiches are an important part of our thought process. ;)
Not as much as the rest, however!
That trumps a great sandwich anyday...well...most days...depends on the woman...depends on the sandwich!

*looks puzzled* Yep this must be a male thing,I can understand regretting not getting a whole cheesesteak at the time....if he was still hungry...but long after the fact just escapes me.
Thanks for the map of the male brain though. Most of it I knew already but some parts really do explain a lot.
Wow, and I thought it was just a map to Homer Simpsons brain.
LOL ~ you have a thing for Marge don't you? Its the blue hair isn't it?
sammiches huh?
you're a freak ;-)
~K~
Karen,
It was a REALLY good cheesesteak! Lol.
In fact, we've been on a quest to find one like it. The only thing that comes remotely close is Jersey Mike's. The only problem there is no fries and the decor isn't anywhere near as inviting to enjoy a meal.
K,
Of course I am! And proud of it!
My thoughts are that I would dress up like McGyver and double team Patti and Selma. ;)
correct me if I'm wrong, but I was thinking that 'a nice ass' or something should take the place way back there in the COOL GUITARS area...
Would you mind....... ;)
Debbie,
As much of a fan I am of music, cool guitars don't impress that much...so I can see that space available for rent...I can make it asses at this point! ;)
