Slog - Comments on The Indignity http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/the_indignity Shortly before this photo of a person dressed as a Quizno's fountain soda was taken yesterday, this Quizno's-fountain-soda-person was seen on another corner trying to fix a Quizno's sandwich board that someone had turned so that the arrow pointed in the opposite direction. When you're dressed as a Quizno's fountain soda, you don't really have much range of motion in the arms, and you can't bend over so well either, so this Quizno's-fountain-soda-person had to turn around the sandwich board by kicking it in a slow, incremental rotation.

Besides, it would have been hilarious seeing a giant fountain soda in flames, flailing around the streets. Bonus points if he runs into a moving bus.

An individual who was so degraded by drink and undepenable that the only occupation left to him was a few hours of walking around with an advertisement slung around his neck. They were routinely derided and a favorite target of street urchins' missiles.

The lowest was the stumble-bum, who was so affected by long-term drink that he could no longer walk well enough to be even a sandwich board man.

It seems as if little has changed in levels of esteem for the modern equivalent of that job in the intervening century.

Really? Have you eaten there? Do you like Subway? Because EVERYONE seems to be okay with Subway, and it is positively mediocre in comparison. Hell, I eat there, and it's mediocre out of comparison. Quizno's is light yeas more tasty.
