Yeah, we know it’s a little hokey, but with an American holiday centered around food consumption close at hand, any post involving the topic of stuffing our gullets is apropos. We even feature one band that we didn’t have to bastardize in order to gormandize. Think of it as a little trivia dog wrapped in a big, buttery, campy croissant.

Any and all user submitted parody names and Photoshops are encouraged in the comments. Have at it!

   I’d like to nominate this as one of the best items ever featured on Buzzgrinder (MeatGrinder http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3224/3055568031_2ebcb4aec3.jpg ).

   As a preemptive response…yes, I am well aware of how sandwich is spelled.

   LOLz on The Famine!

   I was in a Cokesbury bookstore once, and they were actually selling breath mints called Testa-mints.

   These Arms Are Cakes.

   COME ON!

6. On 11/24/08 10:57 AM, One Crushing Blow said:

   

   I agree, These Arms are Cakes seems better. But meh, it’s whatever. I’ll think of some later, if I can.

   NECCOPhagist.

   Get it?

   Necco wafers…yeah.

   I had Devendra NataliePortman’sHart and nobody liked it.

   I’m pretty sure using cake there crossed my mind, but I used it for the Snake Cross Crown one. The TAAS name accepted “snacks” better…and to be honest, thinking of snacks as arms is funnier to me than cakes. Eh.

   I’m loving the “Beer Before the Mash of Grains” and “Between the Burrito and Brie”. Huge LOLZ.

    Honey Baked Ham (and) Steak = Sunny Day Real Estate?

11. On 11/24/08 12:26 PM, Dylan said:

    

    Another good BTBAM one is Between the Pee and the Tree, its not food themed though. Benea Peach was a surprise

    Carne West?

    Haha. John Mayo is my favorite.

14. On 11/24/08 3:42 PM, One Crushing Blow said:

    

    @ Jay: yeah, I can understand that. It’s not that it sucked. Just stuck in my head more. Oh well.

    Take a Snack!

    Praline and the Buns of Disaster

    Taste the Filet.

    That one was a stretch. I’m spent

    ajatfm, it is kind of silly, but we like to have fun here. Now if we can bring religion and politics into the whole discussion…

20. On 11/24/08 6:11 PM, radar said:

    

    “These Arms Are Shakes” would have been better

    Also: “mewithoutRagù” (mewithoutYou) and “As Cookies Burn” (As Cities Burn)

21. On 11/24/08 6:25 PM, Howard said:

    

    The Lunch Tour:
    Main Course Ani DiFrankfurter or The Submarines Sandwich – easy on the John Mayo ’cause that guy is an asshole!
    Sides Stage Britney Pickle Spears, Bruce Springbeans or a Soundgarden Salad.
    Coffee House Stage A Spoon of Pearl Jam on a Dillinger Escape Bran muffin or a Bite of Beyoncé. Just plain Beyoncé. For desert. (Made the cut ’cause she’s bootylicious? C’mon.)

    Wash all that sh¡t down with some ICE-T full of Ice Cubes and a slice of Kings of Lemon or a glass of Iron & Wine.

    I’ll pay the Billy Idol, if you’ll kick in 50 Cent – but keep the change cause I don’t need the Nickelback.

29. On 11/25/08 7:15 AM, Jay DiNitto said:

    

    Foodgrinder is created everyday…at the diners, lunch carts, and dinner tables across the world.

    MAO… anyone? I know that food was already used but I still think it’s worthwhile.

    My favorite was Protest the Gyro.

31. On 11/26/08 7:55 AM, One Crushing Blow said:

    

    Lemon Hunter.

    The Toast Inside.
