Yeah, the whole bulkie roll thing was a shocker when I moved to Philly -- I just wanted a sandwich, and they were looking at me like I was on crack. I had never heard of a Kaiser roll.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

In other news, this week's (White) Rapper Show is making me laugh SO EFFING HARD.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Which one is this? What is funny? Is it the game show?

It is, in fact, the game show. Sweet lord, I couldn't stop laughing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Weird. I hit Random Article on Wikipedia and it pulled up Travis Air Force Base which is where my sister was born.
That doesn't seem random enough.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hmm. I think that many of my terms for foods are actually New England terms, though I grew up in NY/NJ. And I can't figure out what I call a sandwich on a long roll. Sub and hero both seem right. Hoagie seems a little less right. I know that I don't say grinder unless I'm in Maine. Italian hero or Italian sandwich means a particular kind -- the one with a bunch of meats and cheeses and oil and vinegar.
Do people elsewhere not use "pie" to refer to pizza?
Now I want pizza.

My best friend from college did her internship and residency at the hospital at Travis (the Air Force put her through med school at UCSD). She did her three of her last four years with the AF in Japan, and then her final year at the base near Dupont, WA (forget the name of it).
My school called those kinds of sandwiches "hoagies," but we normally just called them subs. I never use the word "pie" for pizza unless I'm being silly. ("I'll partake of a portion of that pizza pie, please!")

I think pizza comes by the slice or the pie, so I'd order a large pie, sure.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I grew up in Northern New Jersey, and our family called them "hoagies", but my dad is from the Philadelphia region, and that's where I think he got it from.

What is even happening?
We always called them subs/submarines. I find 'hoagey' and 'grinder' still catch me off guard. My school lunch menu always referred to the sandwiches as 'grinders' which was weird, because it was so not the common term in our area.
