I know Quizno’s legal department probably has a lot on their hands already, but I think I have no choice but to sue. Popping into their new Dorrance street location I noticed their new flatbread “sammies” being advertised in the window. I don’t want to be a jerk about this, but I invented the word “sammie” to describe a sandwich. To add insult to injury, when I brought this up with the employees there, and told them they owed me money, they laughed in my face. This means war.

I’ll be joined in my suit by rock band The Sammies, R-and-B crooner Sammie, featured above, elderly Samoyed group Silver Sammies, and my college room-mates, who also coined the word sammie as applied to sandwiches. Anyone else?

Quizno’s: You have been warned. Cut chex and get it over with.

This is the banner ad off the top of Drudge right now. Swell to have a billion bucks and all, but if the DailyDose were gonna be one of the Chaces, we’d pick “Happy.”

A couple from Swansea apparently won last month’s big-ass powerball jackpot, likely yielding a whole new crop of local “believers” who will squander even more dough than they already do.Lottos suck: They’re super-regressive — far more so than casinos — and while people should be able to gamble, the state shouldn’t actively try to dupe its constituents into throwing away their earnings.

Perhaps the single craziest Rhode Island factoid of which I’m aware: Lotto sales per-capita are tops in the nation, at $1,373 a pop. You read that right. Mass. is pretty bad too — number 5, at $683. ( Those are 2004 stats.) The median state is Texas, at less than one-tenth our per-capita rate.
