Rubik’s Cube Sandwich

We got a good laugh at this when we saw it. I guess the idea is to get all the cheddar, provolone, jack cheese, etc., in alignment in order to eat it. Right?

If, for some reason, you have no idea what a Rubik’s Cube is, visit Wikipedia, where the following description may be found:

The Rubik’s Cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernõ Rubik. Originally called the “Magic Cube”, the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Ideal Toys in 1980 and won the German Game of the Year special award for Best Puzzle that year. As of January 2009, 350 million cubes have sold worldwide making it the world’s top-selling puzzle game. It is widely considered to be the world’s best-selling toy.

In a classic Rubik’s Cube, each of the six faces is covered by 9 stickers, among six solid colours (traditionally white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow). A pivot mechanism enables each face to turn independently, thus mixing up the colours. For the puzzle to be solved, each face must be a solid colour. Similar puzzles have now been produced with various numbers of stickers, not all of them by Rubik. The original 3×3×3 version celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary in 2005.

OK – So I was reading the RSS feeds today and I found a post at Robb Allen’s Sharp as a Marble entitled Basal Smear Harp. Hmm? I had to go take a look.

That was a mistake. For the next half-hour I was sucked into futzing around with the on-line anagram generator Robb referred me to.

But it paid a little dividend when I started typing in the names of some famous people:

  • Nancy Pelosi – Spacy Online
  • Harry Reid – Hairdryer
  • Joe Biden – I Need Job
  • Hillary Clinton – Carillon Thinly
  • Tim Geithner – Tiger Hit Men
  • Eric Holder – Clod Rehire
  • Rahm Emanuel – Ah, Elm Manure
  • Barney Frank – Fanny Barker
  • Patrick Leahy – Chalky Pirate
  • Janine Garofalo – A Ninja Rage Fool
  • Barack Obama – AAA Bomb Rack

OPSEC – Protect Your Personal Information

I recently got a briefing on Operational Security. The reason for the briefing is to periodically review some of the things that we should consider in our responsibility to keep information safe from unwanted disclosure.

One of the first slides the Operations Security Manager put up on the screen was that of the rear window of an SUV where someone had proudly placed a stick-figure representation of their family, complete with names.

The OSM said “How would you like it if someone who had noticed you and your little kids getting out of the vehicle and going into the store? How would you like it if that person were to entice one of your kids away by calling them by name? ‘Psst, Susie – your mom wants you to come over here with me.’ Sounds frightening, doesn’t it?”

This reminded me of the article Damsel posted on this topic last year which I re-post here.


Wouldn’t it be nice to have your beautiful family depicted in the rear window of your SUV or mini-van? With Dad, Mom, and all the kids’ names? You’ve seen those rear-window decals around.

But I’d think twice before listing my family members’ names for all to see (maybe some sicko predator would like to know your kids’ names). So this is my solution to listing our family members that I want folks to know about . . .
