Who wants to open a deli with me?

At work the other night, I came up with a great idea for a deli. Either that or the fumes from cleaning the salad bar were finally getting to me. We could call it The White House and serve 44 sandwiches. Each sandwich would be for a different president ( Read more... )

Herbert Hoover: Po' Boy
Richard Nixon: Something greasy

Yes! You need to be on my board of directors.

Hooray! My husband can help. He's an American history buff. :D

Nate and I talked about opening our own sandwich shop. His last name is Poppino, and we really like paninis, so we'd call it "Poppininis" or "Poppininos." GET IT? We're so clever!

That is... honestly... a fucking brilliant idea. :-)

Thank you. Care to go into business?

for wilson, you could have the League of Nations Nachos, with a topping representing every member. that's like...40 toppings or something.

and george h. w. bush's would come with a side of broccoli.

lyndon b.'s might be a hot dog. a really big hot dog dubbed "The Johnson."

you really need to copyright this idea, quick. not the johnson hot dog, but the whole presidential deli thing. :-D

Ha! The broccoli thing is amazing. Would you be embarrassed to order The Johnson?

How does one go about copyrighting an idea, anyway?

nah, i'd order it smothered in texas chili with some crazy napalm hot sauce on top. :-)

i'm not sure, officially. but the poor man's way to do it is write everything down in detail and then mail it to yourself...and never open the envelope again until someone steals your idea and you can sue them and open the envelope in court to prove you had the idea first. :-)
