Is'nt it?

 

Say, I'm having trouble changing my sig. I mean, if I so much as take one character out of it I get a message saying I'm over the 1000 limit, so I hit the back button and leave it as is/was in order to preserve it.

 

This is not easy.

 

Should I change it? I'm thinking I should.

 

 

BTW, where the heck is d03nut?

My guess is that the color codes are putting you over.

would removing the non-colored parts give you enough characters to add something about IKFC 2 to the colored parts?

 

I dig it, but sometimes change is good and/or necessary. your call.

hogie...one g (maybe there's an "a" beside the o...maybe not)

 

I grew up in a place (southern pennsylvania) where the word was hogie. No subs, no grinders, whatever. Frequent hogie sales sponsored by the boy scouts, local clubs, etc. And "Mims" was the local place to go for hogies. A "hogie" by default was a cold cut sandwich with shredded lettus, sliced tomatoes, with optional hot peppers. There may have been variations but I didn't know of any at the time.

In Philly, it's hoagies, what's a grinder

 

 

Same thing, only New England style, say from about Connecticut north. Frequently found as a "hot oven grinder". Unknown in Colorado, unfortunately.

there are some places that just spell it Hogie. They might be backwards cretins but...nevertheless....


 

 

From The Harvard Gazette:

 

Perhaps the most alias-intensive item in Vaux's survey is the sandwich consisting of cold cuts stuffed into a split hunk of French bread. Most of the nation, including Boston, calls it a sub, but in parts of Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey it's a grinder, in New York City it's a hero, in Louisiana and parts of the South it's a poor boy, in Maine it's an Italian sandwich, and a few isolated speech pockets call it things like bomber and sarney.

I've lived all over the state of Pennsylvania (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, State College, Philadelphia and now Pittsburgh) and it's always been called a hoagie. It must be a Harrisburg thing to drop the "a" - just like it's a "burgh thing" to keep the "h"! ;)

 

Now if only these frigging yinzers would join the rest of the eastern time zone and call carbonated soft drinks by the correct terminology: "soda", not friggin' POP!!! (or as they pronounce it here: "pawwp") :mad:
