Have you ever been in one? I heart Potbelly. Simple sandwiches with good ingredients.

Maybe your mistake was sticking to the PB&J. I wouldn't touch one of those with Atticus's racism.

My daughter really likes the Potbelly PB&J, but she knows nothing of Atticus's hatred of darker-skinned people.

coltrane says us swarthy peoples fall unnecessarially when playing soccer. atticus may feel we are just acting similarly during our police beatings.

I prefer an Italian on regular (perhaps with marinara sauce) or chicken salad on regular (perhaps with bacon).

I'm not commenting on Atticus's racism because I find it repellent. I'll just note that you won't find a stoic Minnesotan of Scandinavian-descent writhing around and weeping like a wounded baby after being taken out with a studs-up challenge and then pepper-sprayed by the ref while on the ground.

Look, I'm here to defend Atticus. He is not biased against dark people who can't take a beating. Just ones who aren't white.

You're welcome, Atticus!

I like this part: "I had some partners that couldn’t come to work without smoking pot."
