Dust bowl

So here we all are, part of the new world technology and having absolutely no clue what I am doing, but it will be a new challenge. I'm not sure my ramblings will have any impact on the world as we know it, but maybe we'll have some fun and lots of laughs while I try to embrace a whole new medium of communication. Maybe. Or not.

Inedible celeb sandwiches

Maybe it's just me, but why ever would a person want to put a celeb in a sandwich in the first place?  I mean really, think about it.  Why would anyone want to waste perfectly good bread on a celeb (unless of course the bread used isn't really bread at all, but the latest red carpet craze)?  I can think of so many other, much more flavourful fillings for a sandwich than some overpaid person who may or may not contribute to the improvement of the world, never mind a sandwich.   However, if that's to your taste - so to speak, the next question is, where would one buy such a sandwich?  Can they be had at Tim Horton's, or Starbuck's for those who live in so many parts of the world?  What would they taste like?  Would the filling be thick or barely there (think any of the heavy celebs and way too many of the thin celebs)?  What would they cost and who could afford to buy such sandwiches?  Would you get your money's worth or would you regret paying for it?  Are they a one of or simply an immitation of the celeb in question?  Does this then mean the celeb sandwiches are really faux sandwiches and the money you pay is not for the actual celeb, but meerly an immitation?  What kind of sandwiches are we talking about?  Is it one of those thin, tea sandwiches that fit between two fingers and are barely there?  Are they a nice thick, filling, maybe too much, submarine type?  Can you mix and match like a BLT?  You know, different layers that when they are together you wonder why.  This, of course, leads to the fact that these combinations are inedible and therefore not sandwich material at all.  Wait.  Sorry.  The headline isn't about celebs in a sandwich.  It's about inedible sandwiches that celebs eat.  Once again it's the headline that's got me confused.  I do wish that reporters could at least write headlines that say what they really mean and not use sentence fragments or misplaced modifiers.  On the other hand, these grammatical inaccuracies do make for good teaching tools, so I guess there is a positive in all of this.  However, I will be passing on the next celeb sandwich I encounter, edible or not.  Until next time.headline that's got me confused.
