0009 Earth Sandwich

My brother and I were going to Portugal and we decided to make a quick stop in Spain to complete the Earth Sandwich. We had to deal with a few hard chargers along the way but overall it was a radical adventure. Thanks for the fun Ze.

Awesome Earth Sandwich, guys! And welcome to the League Awesomeness!

I feel a little closer to everyone else now that I have been part of a sandwich with them.

Great job guys.

Comment by Geoff — June 12, 2006 @ 11:15 am

Nice work!
I especally love that you did it with a baguette too.

Comment by Mik — June 12, 2006 @ 1:40 pm

I like the little duckies in the pond, and I like you too.

Huzzah!

Comment by Joe — June 12, 2006 @ 1:49 pm

Hey, a sincere congratulations on your success!
Thanks to you, we’ve all become sandwiched closer together.

Nice one! *salutes*

Way to go SportsRacers! If you happen to be in the middle of the Indian Ocean in your travels, let me know and I’ll complete your soggy sandwich in Canada. Have fun traveling and don’t let the hardchargers get you down.

Comment by Kelly — June 12, 2006 @ 2:48 pm

Great job! Not to put a damper on anything, but how do you know that the first piece of bread was still there when you placed the second piece?

Comment by David — June 12, 2006 @ 2:54 pm

I can’t see the video, I can only hear it. Is there a video?

umm..cool video. but did you cut the bread in the half? i didnt see that part. if you put a whole piece of bread on the ground while the one on the other side is cut in half then you didnt really make a sandwich…

Comment by jb — June 12, 2006 @ 4:56 pm

DELICIOUS! I’m allergic to humans though — had to pick that shit off.

Comment by Justin Ruckman — June 12, 2006 @ 5:38 pm

great work guys – can’t believe you actually did it!!!

Excellent work, gentlemen.

Comment by Stephanie — June 13, 2006 @ 7:02 pm

Awesome, great, nice, sincere, way to go, cool, delicious, credence given, sportsiest, excellent, okay…I guess (which adjective is mine!?!)effort gents!

I live in Christchurch, New Zealand and I tried (and failed) to make the Earth Sandwich by e-mailing every hotel, backpackers, restuarant, etc that I could find in Viveiro, Spain (opposite Christchurch)….but didn’t get one response!…even with a link to Ze’s page!

I guess this task required the steely determination of the Brit’s!

Comment by John — June 14, 2006 @ 2:36 am

Ummm…thanks John…except we are CANADIAN! The brits couldnt handle a task this AWESOME!

later,
MEGABLADE!

Comment by MEGABLADE — June 14, 2006 @ 1:39 pm

Interesting, but… do you really put both of your pieces of bread facing the same way? For a true sandwich, the bottom must be face up and the top must be face down, so for an Earth sandwich both pieces must face down. Think about that next time you’re slicing that hunk of salami.

Comment by Arden — June 14, 2006 @ 6:41 pm

Huzzah!

Comment by Lachy — June 14, 2006 @ 7:00 pm

Mad props to the terrestrial delicatessen workers. I’m wondering two things, though. First, how do you know your sandwich wasn’t, you know, skew with one piece rotated maybe 90 degrees across the axis of the other? Second, why not cut the baguette in half, throw one half in the garbage, put the other cut-side down on the ground and there you have it: OPEN-FACED Earth sandwich.

Now all I need is a little Tabasco.

Comment by mistersquid — June 14, 2006 @ 7:58 pm

ok, so we have pretty convincing evidence that you were in Spain – how do we really know that the other piece was really in New Zealand at exactly the same time? All we have is one pic of it, which could have been in your backyard, for all we know.

[...] It’s officially over. The earth is now a sandwhich. [...]

Pingback by ohdanny » Blog Archive » The Earth is Now a Sandwhich — June 14, 2006 @ 10:24 pm

I agree: not a real sandwich! The inside layers of the bread should be touching the contents. Disqualified! Personally, I think it doesn’t count unless both sides are from the same loaf of bread.

Also, there should probably be butter or mayo, ideally some horseradish. A sandwich with only the Earth in it is pretty bland.

Comment by Dave — June 15, 2006 @ 12:38 pm

How absolutely cool! You guys rock!

Comment by vloggie — June 16, 2006 @ 10:03 am

What’s a hard charger?

Anyway, Canadians have everything. First Kristin Kreuk, and now the Earth Sandwich.

Comment by Jiggaman — June 16, 2006 @ 6:52 pm

[...] Some really cool guys (brothers Jon & Duncan from Scourist.com) flew from London to Portugal, then drove into Spain and with the aid of their GPS handset found their way to the exact opposite side of the planet, where they placed their half of the Earth Sandwich. They released a clip of their escapades, and I didn’t want to be left out so I made a clip of my own – even though my expedition was far, far less exciting or cool. [...]

Wow. I must say, you folks are fantastic and have made the world a better place. I mean, really…how many people can say they participated in the world’s first earth sandwich? No one except you, your companion and the other guy

I found the best thing to my boyfriend’s birthday… It’s really hard to find cool and still unique.
So today I saw this thing from ZTARLET on facebook where you can name a real star in heaven and have the certificate and a teddy bear sent to you and pay it by a single SMS. So awesome
