    Who’s the other guy who does the same feat as Brandon Burns?

    Shuck-y darn! My open face sandwich doesn’t qualify as a sandwich. I’m working hard to cut my carbs (using one slice of bread) and the Boston court doesn’t even recognize my efforts.

    Sea otter fur is adapted so that parents can actually fluff up the fur of their young to make them float as well as if they were covered in life preservers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWJXG2SS6AA

    Also, does that count folded sandwiches?

    800 million hairs? I think that’s about equal to the amount of hair Cousin Itt had. RIP, Felix Silla.

    I remember the great Boston sandwich controversy. I think it had to do with a sandwich shop in a mall food court with a non-competition lease and the mall allowed a burrito vendor to set up shop near by. Ironically, the ruling made both hot dogs and the “Italian Sandwich” (which was invented just to the north in Portland Maine) to also be not sandwiches.

    Hmm, what if that sandwich was advertised as “open faced” which was common in Mass. ?

    I think my ex’s legs could compete with the otter for hair count

    I like open face sandwiches, one slice, especially in Boston.

    Who counted the number of hairs? That person should be in Believe it or Not!

    The sandwich ruling just goes to show the reason why courts were and are so clogged with useless legal wrangling.

    As to the otter, I enjoyed seeing them when we were able to travel to their habitats.

    I leave the back flip exercises to people with a dream of traction for life.

    Take care, may famed pr0n star Flesh Gordonord be with you, and gesundheit.

    You can’t trust the media. I want proof of whom it was that counted those otter hairs!

    Hey Boston! What is it called if you put sandwich fixings on two half slices of bread? Gravelwich? Halfwich? Somewich? Nearwich? Nitwich?

    And thus ended Subway’s attempt to sell wraps as sandwiches in Boston…

    What makes Brandon’s feat even more impressive is that he did the seated backflip off of a sandwich.

    Did Mr. Burns’s not having a neck help him accomplish this feat?

    As a teenager, I used to do a seated 1 & 1/2 backflip off a high dive, but I cheated … I rolled backwards, and pushed up off the edge with my hands. Kids don’t try this at home …

    I wonder how Brandon figured out that he could do that? And what was he doing or trying to do, when he found out?

    I am puzzled by Jason’s problem with being deleted. In past posts, I have given him instructions on how to contact GoComics to see if they can help solve the problem. I’ve never received a reply, so I don’t know if he’s tried that, or if he isn’t able to for some reason. I’ve never heard of anybody being able to delete somebody else’s post, so I’m mystified. I thought only moderators who work for GoComics could delete things. If anyone else has an idea to suggest for Jason, or some idea of why this is happening, I’d love to hear about it.
