I am looking for investors to go in on a Submarine sandwiche shop named "Sub Culture." The name says it all, "We're all about subs and we're all about alternative lifestyles!" All the employees wear black and mope around. And perhaps we'll license the Pixies song "Subbaculture" for the advertising blitz that will take place during the American Football Super Bowl.

Annotation:







       The manager should, of course, be named Dom.

       The bit about moping around makes me think the poster's not talking about quite the same scene as some of the annotations.
"Get me an alligator clamp and make it snappy!"

       Signature product: 'The Footlong', on a specially shaped bun, shrinkwrapped in latex... UB^)

       PeterSealy, I think Op means 'subculture' as in 'not mainstream'...   

       Unabubba, that's cute. <grin>

       OK, you're about to do it again, coz that's not funny yet.   

       I did try to explain this to UnaMomma (wy wife) and when I told her about a sandwich shop called Sub Culture she said, "Eeww !!, they want to make yoghurt sandwiches?"

       you could dress the staff in schoolgirl uniforms and call it "sub mission" or add a small stage and make it "sub audible". Oh! poetry readings at "sub versive" or focus on the food at "substance". I'd avoid subsist, though.

       Or sell food prepared by other vendors, "substitute",
put it underground "subterranean",
staff it with Forrest Gump clones, "subnormal",
turn the temperature way down, "subzero",
make the sandwiches too small to see even with a microscope, "subatomic",
advertise your product using single frame ads, "subliminal",
serve only goat meat and dates etc, "sub-Sahara",
beat the patrons and break their spirits, "subjugate",
I'm tired of this game... UB^)

       Degroof, there's one in Plant City, too...

       Why have I never seen a sub shop with a theme of actual submarines? As in "yellow" and "nuclear". Wouldn't that make for cool wallpaper - the civil war subs etc?
