We are pleased to anounce:
14 Reasons why Andre's Tubesteaks are better than CUPE's,
and
The Top 3 newspaper headlines of the UBC tubesteak debacle:
(Background: Andre, the Mr. Tubesteak guy got permission to sell
tubesteaks on the UBC campus and generated a thriving business by
working like a dog regardless of the weather, always with a wide
smile and a friendly word. Then he was run off campus by CUPE 116,
the local union. Subsequently, University Food Services set up the
same operation that Andre had going, except with union employees.
The whole fiasco is documented at http://www.sitegeist.com/tubesteak)
Fourteen reasons to buy from Andre:
14. Andre treats a weenie right.
13. Andre KNOWS Tubesteaks.
12. CUPE's dogs are down the Tubes.
11. Andre: great buns CUPE: lazy bums.
10. An "Andre the Giant" weiner vs. a "CUPE-doll weiner"... what's to
choose?
9. Andre's a giant in tubesteaks.
8. Because size *does* matter.
7. A tubesteak from anyone other than Andre is like a cube from anyone
other than Rubick.
6. The only SPAM in Andre's tubesteaks is right here on your screen.
5. You never know what's been sniffing around a union dog.
4. Because Andre serves up wieners, but CUPE is run by them them.
3. Because when you play the word 'CUPE' backwards on tape, you get the
secret message: 'PUKEY'
3b. Because when you play the word 'CUPE' backwards on an 8-track, you
get the secret message: 'KISS MY BUTT YOU FREE-ENTERPRISE PIG DOG AND
GIVE ME MORE MONEY WHILE I LAY AROUND ON THE DOLE'
2. In support of Andre's recent Nobel barbeque-chef prize nomination;
Besides he sleeps naked.
And the number one reason:
1. Andre's dogs don't bite the hand that feeds them!
nb. all references to CUPE are to the intransigent executive of
CUPE 116, not to their poor minions who must join the club in order
to find employment on campus.
Plus as a bonus, the top three Vancouver Newspaper Tubesteak Headlines:
3. UNION DOGS SELLING UNION DOGS!
2. Whiners serve Diners!
1. CUPE gone loopy, now keeners on wieners, taking students to cleaners!
