… if you tried to get a Philly cheese steak slice at the Sbarro on Seventh Avenue on Wednesday, you’d see it wasn’t even listed on the menu alongside the restaurant’s other stuffed pizzas and strombolis. Sbarro’s online menu still shows it, and Bankruptcy Beat called another New York Sbarro and was assured by a manager that it’s still on the menu, though not Wednesday “because we got no beef.” [WSJ]

    I think someone has taken Bess’ identity and posted disjointed stories of no obvious news or comedic opportunities.  This person is running a controlled experiment to see if we are able to create anything with mirth out of topics like Sbarro’s bankruptcy. 

    Bess, do you have the munchies?

    Harbinger?  Bankruptcy?  Why are people trying to blame this on me?

    no comedic opportunities if you suck at coming up with jokes, as you clearly do.

    “Bess, do you have the munchies?”

    Probably not, but I did.

    Since you apparently rode in on the short bus today, let me help you. Opportunities:

    -WSJ doing a story on Sbarro’s not having one item on their menu

    - “we got no beef”

    If you need more handholding beyond that, consider yourself worthless and call it a day.

    but really, the over/under on “we got no beef”….

    -Guy who can’t believe no one has made a beef and/or grammar joke yet…

    Sorry for this, but I just have to ask, Where’s the beef?”
