Just numbers, please

I don't mean to sound like a Stiffly Stifferson, but the menu at Erbert's and Gerbert's could not be more inane. All I want to do is order a sandwich and I have to spend five minutes reading the entire menu to see which sub is which because all the subs have wacky names like "Henry Catapult Boonswaggle" and "Apostrophe Harpoon Cartoon" that don't tell you anything about them. Is anyone over the age of six amused by these names? Posted by mill1991 at November 18, 2004 01:19 PM | TrackBack

Mr. Stifferson,

I spend my entire day reading every single blog on the internet to see if anyone has written anything bad about my company, Erberts & Gerberts. How dare you sir! I hate to derail your little crabby-train, but I am happy to inform you that Henry Catapult Boonswaggle just so happens to be our #2 seller just behind lolli-popsicle fart-dromeda. I am sorry you cant take a few more seconds out of your day to enjoy our delightfully wacky names for our sandwiches. In fact, here is some more bad news for you. Selling sandwiches is just part one of the overall plan. Within the next year, all Erberts and Gerberts shops will begin to phase out the sandwiches all together and just give people what they really wanted all along; lists upon lists of fun-tastic, wacky names. In conclusion, eat a dick.

I am only able to suffer through the humiliation of ordering because their sandwiches are thousands of times better than that crap Subway sells.

All this time I thought E&G was just a front for selling weed to folks with really dirty hair. Maybe all those names are really a sort of pothead code. I remember hearing about a Church's Chicken (or was it a Rib Shack?) in Detroit that was slingin crack rocks with the food. You could wheel up to the drive thru and request a bucket of wings and a rock, and somewhere in your bucket, you'd find your next fix.

im a erbert and gerbert employee and im not a pot head. I take offense because that is a biased opinion based on your stupidity. The names have meaning if you were to open your blind eyes and realize what the sighns around you say,they are a story of two boys named erbert and gerbert. So befor you start slandering others anonumsly use what little brain you have to think. The names may be rediculus(when your serving the drunk crowd its real bad)but, they at least make sense that is if your not a stuck up conceeded peace of have a nice day.
