And just like that President Obama nearly reaches his first 100 days in office.
And just like that President Obamii nearly reaches his first 100 days representing leftylikeme.com
Change has come in most unexpected places for them both. While I first thought something a lot sexier was going to come our way in the form of clothing lines it seems like this ones going to be a lot smarter. So smart most people have never even learned of the practice until it was unleashed twice now upon the masses of the East Bay. The first time it went practically unnoticed at 4th place…..the second time it drunkenly and stubbornly stood closely waiting for the megaphone ultimate victory and the mania that ensued. Brick! Brick! Brick! Brick! The people had learned, loved, laughed, and lived. But sadly some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. Today I would like to announce that I have registered for the 1st 7th National Grilled Cheese Invitational and will be bringing the brick to its rightful place. The legend of the brick will return to win the hearts and souls of all who dare taste it’s oozy creations. For this special occasion, I want to spread the knowledge and the power to everyone by creating a “The Brick is the Trick” limited print run T-shirt for the competition. I will be selling the limited edition T-shirt/Cooking Brick Combo @ the competition and hopefully locally so stay tuned! Each brick will be autographed and include a random sketch of one of the losing “Brick is the Trick” sketches hand drawn by the your lefty handed champ chef himself.

Sketch #1: Says Epsiode 1: Grandma’s Grilled Gateway to Heaven - 4th Place - Just to keep off the grillactic emipre. Episode 2: Grandma’s Revenge - 1st place - the 2nd is always best in a trilogy? Episode 3 - This Isn’t a Fucking Triology, It’s a Legacy
Cheese Wars
Sketch #2: A simple equation for all to enjoy……
a local fan favorite....pretty simple and a clear message for any passerby to absorb!
Sketch #3: An homage to end the trilogy that ends with Grandma’s Glory? One brick to rule them all. One brick to heat them. One brick to bring them all….and at the contest beat them.
the final version would have a lot more pressed/attacked sammies and innocent, scared, running sammies
Sketch #4: KISS - Keep it Simple Sammies…..
Makes Mouths Happy!
Sketch #5: Ignore that message below the picture! That personal gossip should not influence your vote!
thats a hot message....
Sketch #6: Cheeseaction
This one didnt want to flip. SOB
Sketch #7:
little bit of name calling has to happen somewhere along the line....
Sketch #8: BOOM BABY!
in the style of comics and anime with crazy action/lines
Sketch #9: The Science of a Sammy. The various scientific names will be given to all parts. Symbiotic relationship b/w brick and sandwich described. Local native species explained.
Cheesy Guts, Bread shells, Oh My!
Sketch #10: ? Submissions ? I’m keeping my final count open till Sunday so if anyone wants to send me a sketch I will throw it up here and include it in the voting.
Please please take a moment to sit back and ponder which one of these designs you would don proudly in support of your SF Bay contender. List your Top 3 Faves and feel free to add some comments or suggestions!!!
100 days……Wow. This site definitely has the wear and tear of 100 days of whirlwind work and cutting edge change all over the place.
So, as Obama is entrenched in a forest of economies, crises, levies, and bevies that he can barely see his way out of.
I will drive down for the first time to a land that has been cleared of all forest and paved with cheese, no trees, and plenty of fake titties.
I only got one line for tinsletown and its Kraft-y competition: I’m going to do what everyone dreams of doing…..drive in as an average cheese chef and leave a sammy celebrity!
Vote now and stay tuned for updates!

And totally cool. My buddy did this for an interview job using flash/tech stuff/etc. It is a very wild and crazy view of a bike ride we did from Berkeley up to Richmond and back. It is definitely worth playing the game through twice to eat the meal AND go on the mystical experience. Choose #1 first if you really like a good meal and #2 if you really like some mystical aka puking experience. Hats off to the random robot guy/bird too.
My apologies to the few people a day that on average visit this site that I don’t do a daily dosage of Mike D’s digression but I really can’t say I feel too bad that I don’t have time for this blog as I don’t have time for barely anything. Don’t think for a second that I am not always preparing for the Grilled Cheese world and soon I will start getting more serious about the sammie smack down but for now I can officially say that tomorrow is my first day as an Academy Docent on the floor….@nightLIFE. I am stocked to done the orange jumpsuit and share the little knowledge I know about the vast world that makes up all things water. I never thought about how truly unique my experience there will be and I am definitely going to try and share some of it here with pictures as well. It only took me the first day when we were told we could take a break and I walked outside the room to an empty museum with only me to explore it. I have already faced-off with the T-rex on the second level numerous times in my head but also know considered that it would be also cool to see it battle the Blue Whale if it was somehow possible. As in if the T-rex got to take one bite and the whale got to take one tail slap…..I imagine thats kind of even. This is nothing compared to when I walked downstairs for the first time in the museum and came across the California coastline tank. There was the world that I knew lived under and around the Farallones Islands right in front of me with rockfish by the dozen lying about explaining instantly why they are so easy to catch out there. The first night I only probably saw a quarter of the bottom floor by myself just to truly look in each tank and see everything. I already enjoy talking and sharing stories with many of the docents old and new as everyone has some interesting stories and reasons why there are there as well. The first pictures I have (and will post I am just too lazy to get them as I write now) is of the Philippines Reefs which is probably one of the most beautiful tanks and reefs (although at the moment most of the reef part is artificial) I have ever seen. What makes it even more amazing (and a cool fact to know if you are a true fan and go often) is that they said its only about half full as of now! Well I meant to really only write one sentence about all of this but it is hard to hold back.
On a true Lefty Like Me note I am hoping to make one special edition (and very limited quantity) Grilled Cheese shirt and our next design in the true Lefty Like Me series entitled “Lefties are Always Hot.” To boost sales on these newest items in these trying times stay tuned for a recession proof guarantee. If you lose your job the day you get our shirt……..we will take it back from you! Stay tuned and enjoy the interactive video (I hope to have more of these I just need more willing flash artists….*cough* *anyone* *cough*…..
