Today, after years of having lunch nearly everyday, I got a free lunch.

What's the address for the Save LunchTime website? Some guy was handing out cards at the airport today, urging people to support the cause...

Randy's doing a lunch run....50 states - 50 McDonalds - 50 days - for 50,000 McPoints! (Personally, I think he's crazy, he already got food poisoning once!)

He'll be OK. Village Idiot had the tops reversed on his hot dog cart and that's why Randy was so ill. There was some confusion between the tops labelled "Bio Hazard" and "Hot Dog Buns" but I think it's straightened out now...

So Randy has NO excuse for not completing the 50 state/50 day/50 venue/50K McPoints run.

Remember Randy's advice: "Talk Lunch!!! (sic)"

You're not going to believe this, but on a tip that Bean was eating Chinese food for lunch, I went out and bought 42 skids of frozen Healthy Choice Chinese entrees with my Northwest WorldPerks Visa. At $1.29 an entree, and forgetting that there are no miles anymore on Healthy Choice entrees, that works out to about $27,090 in Chinese food plus the refrigerator trailer I had to rent for $450/month. Of course I used my "no-fee" NWWP Visa, so I received a 13,770 miles, which works out to a low, low cost per mile of $2.00. Plus, I'm not even counting the tax savings I will get when I donate all that frozen Chinese food to our local Chinese homeless shelter. The only problem is that they don't have microwaves yet, but I'm working on that one. What a bargain on this hot tip. Thanks Bean! Oh wait , maybe Bean was eating soup...is there a Campbell's offer going right now?

I have a better offer.

Some years ago a ship, laden with gold bars and other treasure sank in the ocean. It has never been found. The treasure is still there!

Now I happen to know which ocean it sank in. I can't decide whether to post the name of the ocean here and risk the ocean being closed down by the authorities, or mention it only in private conferences and meetings with FTers whom I know I can trust to keep the name of the ocean in strict secrecy. What do you think?

I think that Bean has been using more than one name on here... Has anyone noticed that he only posts one ONE board at ONE time... And I happen to KNOW that even though his posting says 12:55, that was NOT the time that I read it! So, as you can see, he MUST be someone else!

I've been a member of Wonder Bread Sandwiches Plus since my mother enrolled me at about 2 years old... Before that I was in the PAAblum Eaters Club, so you KNOW what I'm saying is true...

I got this email today from a reporter who is covering this thread. He is gonna do an article about Bean's lunch for his column. Contact him if you have any stories!

===
Hi. My name is John Doe and I am a reporter for The Daily Times. I am researching a story on Bean's lunch. I am seeking people to talk about how/why he eats it and how often and the pros/cons about it, especially the international menus. I can be reached at 555-1212 or by e-mail at [email protected].
Thanks.

I recommend combining the two Sandwich-places United-Burger offers the best double bread (even for my european taste) and allows me 6 times a year to go worldwide to their upstair VIP-lounge, combine this with the very best filling from Luft-Sandwich who even offer you double or triple fillings depending what class you represent when visiting them.

Avoid going to the United-Burger Place when only having reserved it through Luft-Sandwich, your VIP-first-floor-upgrade would than be void.

If you're having an Award Lunch, can you use the Special Dining Room?

Au contraire! If you're Sandwich Club Emerald and lunch originates in the US and you order the Italian Sub, Polish Sausage, or French Dip, you can!

If you order the Philly Cheesesteak, fuhgeddaboutit.

Luft-Sandwich
I've heard of all sorts of diets, but don't you think eating only Luft is taking things a bit to far?
