Very good...funny subject with some really good creative lines, like.."Every bite is a grenade", and "Meat with eyes"

hilarious...especially liked the lines about gravy train, a finger and meat with eyes...this is enough to make someone go vegetarian

A "Meaty" thanks to AFW and Alvin! Glad I provided a laugh for the day...

Great job, GRUEL is one of my all-time favorite words, and, being Sicilian, loved the mobster line. Well done!

Sir, ~The Duke o'ALPO ~,, Le Marquis de Gruel, . . . Despite the sheer Grossness of this caper, I must declare, Sir, "Can't help lovin' that Man on Rye" !

Thanks to Jim "The Gruel" Rotondo. To MaDame, the Earl of Sandwich says thanks!!!

This is more than meats the eye. I like this. I ate lunch today in an honest to goodness US Army Chow Hall and believe it or not the food was really good, but they have a habit of making too much food. It seems that they always make enough to feed an army. This parody is off the wall just like I enjoy them. Fine job. Take five Tums and call someone sympathetic in the morning.

To Guy, I salute your review. Thanks!!!!

Good one - liked the grenade line the best

Lunch meat! The favorite subject of me and L'il Cupcakes.

Thanks, John!!!

Thanks, Andy!!

Creative what you did with this song. Excellent title substitution too. 555

Thanks, Joe!!!

This parody sums up what school hot lunches were like for me. I would usually bring a couple of ham sandwiches on Oroweat Jewish Rye with pickles, onions and Dijonnaise, a bag of Cheetos, some homemade cookies and enough money for a couple Mountain Dews. If not, I would gag down school lunch and then drink some syrup of ipecac in order to fool my parents into thinking I'd eaten lunch. Excellent job, and 5s.

Thanks Andria!!!

. . . Can't help lovin' that Ham on Rye ! . . . but L'Meat, I still abhor !

Thanks, Madame!!!

almost sandleresque very well written though the pacing is bang on

Thanks Kev. That's funny you mentioned sandleresque, because I originally started this one spawning off the Sandler/Farley Lunch lady skit, but it ended up going in a different direction. I was happy with the results..

[SOTM] Amazing title sub, best parody of this song I read. 5 lbs of ham, 5 lbs of turkey, and 5 lbs of bologna.

A pound of thanks to you, S.P.!

SOTM...that poor lunch lady...she never gets any respect. This made me smile...=)

Thanks, Arwen!!

Not much to work with but it went down okey.

Thanks, Pete!!

This one was great, and I love this OS. Fantastic title sub, and I really liked the line, "That's a ring finger on my plate" reminds me of that old news story about Wendy's chili.

Great work

I always wanted to parody this song; I came up with "Flush me" and gave up on it. Yours is a much better idea, with some great lines. Very well done.

Thanks, Matthias & Max!!!

Thanks, Claude!!!

Remember Wendy's Chili Matty was a factitious story by the woman who made the complaint, the finger was actually that of a co-worker of her husbands, Wendy's was innocent. Fun little parody for what this OS gave you to work with.

A song I can really relate to :-) Definitely something to get ones teeth into.

Thanks, Phil & Dave...

(SOTM) I'm thankful my school doesn't have a cafeteria - we just have a canteen. The PBJ line near the end seemed out of place (it implies that the singer has the option of bringing a PBJ sandwich, but chose to eat the filth instead...uh-huh), but maybe I'm reading to far into things here. I'll just vote 555 and be on my way, then.

Thanks, Bob!!

(SOTM) Good title sub, the song fit very well with the OS. Clever ending, I like that :)

Daily special of thanks to you, Jeff!

Lost of food in this round! Still love this disgusting food parody, thankfully I never had this problem before with my lunch meat.

A dose of Pepto Bismol and thanks to you, Matthias!!

ABC- Never been a Doors fan, I don't know why, but never worked for me. But this is an excellent spoof! 555 more helpings for you!

Sir, I repeat: . . . " Can't help, Lovin' that Man on Rye " !

Extra servings of thanks to Abbott & Lady...

Hmm, the lyrics I found online say the 1st line of each verse ends with "baby", but Morrison seems to sing "babe" on the original recording (which makes much more sense pacing-and-rhyme-scheme-wise), so that confused me a bit. That aside, clever word subs popped up throughout, made me smile.

Good catch, Agri. But I'm still glad to make you smile!

(ABC K/L) I had bad experiences with lunch meat myself, since my mom gave me that ham sandwich every day for lunch during school. Every time I bite into it, the ham is very hard to chew as well. I had the feeling that it's not made out of real meat, but some processed material. But great parody as always, Mark! A 555 Blue Plate Special!

Great taste of thanks to you, Christie!!

Please see my comments above. I missed this the first time I read it. It's about the finger and the mobster that got made. It would have been much more accurate if you used "slayed" instead of "made". In mob speak a "made" man is one who is formally inducted into the Family through a ceremony. Prospective members are called to a meeting. Through a ritual, they are then invited to join the Family. They are typically told the rules of the society, its history and hierarchy, and the general disciplinary measure for disobedience which is usually death. So though a made man can be hit, the term "made" is better described as in the description above.

The parody is still good as a re-read but the lunch meat got way worse.

Great pickup, Guy. MUCH better with "slayed"!! Thanks.

Mark - To me using "slayed" instead would allievate confusion to me but to others it probably didn't. As I said it got by me on the first read. Not everone working the mob is "made". In order to hit a "made" guy the hitter must first get permission from someone higher up the food chain before the "made" guy can become the hittee. "Made" guys must take the Omerta before they are sworn in and once being sworn in you are for life. The Omerta binds the wise guy to silence and if he breaks that vow of silence they break his face and he is silenced for good. So yes you could find a "made" guy's finger in your lunch meat, but something like slayed scans better for me. I still voted for you in the comps. I knew what you meant and I was only nit picking at the accuracy and I wanted to educate you on mob "ethics". Now that's an oxymoron if I have ever seen one.

(ABC K & L) Already voted once before, just as tasty as ever, if not more so!

To Guy, I'll keep my nose "straight" on the next one... Thanks, Andria!

(ABC-KL) See above!
