Yes he is a jerk. I have no problem with someone eating their fill.
But assuming it was ok to take stuff home was over the line. There
was more than plenty of food. But his behavior cost him and his wife
a seat in a pretty fun group of people. When we mix friends and
families the groups can easily push 75 people and are loads of fun.
They don't get to come around anymore. oh-well.

>The niece (niece?) sounded like a whack job.

Daves niece is probably worse because he can't easily exclude her.
IIRC he said he's on holiday right now.

The common denominator is selfishness. That always leads to

I think he wins too. I always laugh my ass off when I read the posts.
I've got relatives that drive me nuts but at least I don't need a herd
of cattle to feed them.

Perhaps several peoples should bring hoagies and chop them up fine. Then
bitch at her about how it was their turn to bring the hoagie.

Must be about the bread to feed the multitude thingie....Cast your hoagie
upon the waters sermon coming later in the week.

Won't happen. Jenny'd need to be point on it and then "force" the
other non-participants into a corner, unfortunately.

It's a good thought, though. I wish people'd call those that don't
participate on their boorishness more frequently.

But, unfortunately, the majority doesn't think about it beyond the
immediate, let alone afterwards (unless it's good gossip.)

Maybe this should be another survey... I've never called a sandwich a
hoagie; I've always called it a sub. It must be a regional thing? I'd be
curious as to what people around the globe call a long sandwich.

Regional as far as the US goes: hoagie, submarine, sub, grinder,

Wherever 7-11 started it is called a hoagie. Maybe it has to do with what
is in the sandwich...ie with no tomatoes a sub is a hoagie. With tomatoes
and olives but no lettuce it is called a grinder etc...

Almost always referred to as a 'sub' in AZ, regardless of content or

Here in Pittsburgh we call them hoagies, sometimes
subs.

When I was little in Connecticut, we called it a grinder. Then we moved
to Philly and started calling it a hoagie. Then when I ended up in
California, it became a sub.

My understanding was wrong. According to their website, though, "In
November 2005, 7-Eleven, Inc. became an indirect subsidiary of Seven & I
Holdings Company, a Japan-based organization."

It did, but perhaps with its introduction to the US, it started making the
hoagie.

Apparently, it actually started in Texas. I should've known that, as an
ex-employee of theirs. :-)

Ah yes, "poor boy" and "grinder"! I'd forgotten those and I wonder how
the name "grinder" came about?

i think with most of the regional terms, the ingredients don't matter.
i.e., a sub is a sub with or without tomatoes, meat or not, hot or
cold.

kili,

My ex came back from a Philly visit to L.A. with three Italian hoagies (oil
& vinegar) in the overhead compartment and during the 5 hour flight there
was darn near a riot as the aroma filled the plane!!!

Philly = "Hoagie"!!! And it must be an Amoroso roll!!!!!!

I've had grinders in Mass.

Take me back to:

I never visit Los Angeles without a French Dip pig, cow and lamb or two!
Train me, plane me, just don't restrain me! Just about rivals Kansas City
BBQ! As a matter of fact, it does!!!

Boy, am I in the wrong part of the world!!!
