From On Patrol #65: She Knew It And She Met Him
April 28th, 2014
I’m on record as saying that “Open Face Sandwich” is by far the dumbest thing we ever did on the show, and I absolutely love it. Helen Noble and I were on the swim team, and while eating lunch at Conference she made herself something she called an open-face sandwich, which I’d never heard and was adamantly convinced wasn’t a thing. For some reason I made up this reggae song while she was eating, and then wouldn’t stop singing it for the rest of the trip. Eventually I wanted to perform it on the show. The idea to have Will say these buzz words in the background is what really pushed the song into infamy. The phrase: “Costco samples, I taste you” came from this Facebook status a Jamaican guy made freshman year that Morgan Ann Gray loved to quote. It makes no sense, but I put it in there anyway. I have since accepted that open-face sandwiches are, in fact, a thing.
