As you can see I don't update this section too often, refer to the Smash Forum for current activity.

The friggin' ads are GONE!  Joy to all.  Here's the story...  I was contacted and offered $$$ if I put them on the site.  I figured it was my dot-com-get-rich-story and that was that.  Well yes, I did make money, how much?  Let's not talk about that... OK fine, $2.85.  No, that's not a quarterly statement number in 100's of millions, that's just under three US Dollars.  Ha ha!

Happy Holiday's and happy smashing.  Check out the Invincible Dynamo's new bio.

:: December 13th, 2004  ::

A few minor updates, it's been a while, I've had a little less creative input on the site, but the fire of a good smash still lives in my veins.  Like a broken record... get out there and sign your friends up.  Make sure that they are on the list.  1,000 members, that's the goal.  Once we get to 1,000, remember, nothing will happen at all.  It means nothing more than 1,000 people jumped on this stupid bandwagon.

:: October 9th, 2004  ::

Long time no update, sorry about that.  Anyway, I've sold a few iron-on's and stickers are on the way.  I'd love to see pictures of the solders out in their new SC gear on the streets.

Official poll results, no burritos and tacos, still the same!

:: August 6th, 2004  ::

You are seeing it for sure, right here on the internet, it must be true!  Paris is down for the cause.

:: August 3rd, 2004  ::

A couple of down days for the site.  It's hard to call and complain about my free hosting, but eventually I had to and they fixed it.

Ben Farver was nice enough to send a picture of efforts on the sandwich of Jason Landry.

:: July 26th, 2004  ::

Smash on, add your friends to the members list if they are too lazy.

::  July 5th, 2004  ::

We are proud to announce the addition of The Invincible Dynamo to our staff as the newly appointed Eastern Seaboard Director of Media Relations.

::  June 27th, 2004  ::

Finally!!  Someone sent in a few pictures.  The Invincible Dynamo out East documented a bit of the action and sent it my way.  Be sure to check out his site www.onsnow.net.  He gives discounts to Sandwich Club members.  What a nice guy.

I personally am at a smashing standstill.  At the high priced hotel I work at, there is a cafeteria that is all about sandwich club.  I'm guessing there are 60 plus members.  There are fries jabbed into every burger in there.  People seeing my face means watch your sandwich.  Powerful, yes, but I kind of miss the good ol' days when people actually forgot to modify.

::  June 26th, 2004  ::

Still smashing, but at a slower rate. 

::  May 23rd, 2004  ::

I did a little beautifying of the site.  I hope you like it, if you don't I'll never know because I never get any feedback anyway.  So I'll just assume that you like it and also enjoy eating poop when not smashing sandwiches.

::  May 18th,  2004  ::

I've been working on a new membership list and working out some bugs.  On with the smashing.

::  May 12th, 2004  ::

I need a solution for my form problem.  If you can help, email me.

::  May 10th, 2004  ::

There's a push to add burrito's and taco, I think it's BS, they aren't sandwiches.  Anyway, the Sandwich Club is a democracy, sorta, well it's a democracy ruled by me.  Cast a vote on the poll and I'll think about changing the rules.  Somebody, please send me a picture of some action!

Raph been officially hired on as our Executive Director of Canadian Promotions.

::  May 5th, 2004  :: 

  Canadian's welcome, thanks to Raph!

This really made my day...  we got quite a few membership forms with a gentleman named Raph listed as the referrer.  After having made no direct contact with Raph, I emailed him to see what he's all about.  I got this reply:

Dear Kurt "Genius" Rein ,

It has been my pleasure to promote this truly one of a kind club, it really is the most fantastic thing I've ever been privileged enough to be a part of. I heard about the club from my brother, who asked me if I knew about the sandwich club to which I replied, "What is the Sandwich club." The rest is obviously history. Since then I've followed the rules closely and gotten many smashes, as well as introduced the club to many members. Your dream of someday acquiring 1,000 members is shared by many others, but none hope to see it come true as fiercely as I do.

I hope to hear from you soon, feel free to contact me for any additional information.

Raph Pommier

I'm gonna hire him as something... email any suggestions for his BS title.

I fixed the Pat video and also fixed the member cards so they print centered.  Do you care?

::  May 3rd, 2004  ::

Today is our Executive Senior Director of Internet Operation's birthday.  29 years old and still killing half the day doing the sandwich club.  Check out the new smash log and tell a story of your latest smash.

::  May 2nd, 2004  ::

A new poll is alive.  The old one has prompted for a change in the rules allowing a member to be smashed out by a family member.  After all, we want more smashing and less weak members.

We are also proud to announce the addition of Karl Huboi and Chris Cuevas to the Sandwich Club staff.  Do you have what it takes to come on board?  Who cares... they didn't either!  Tell me why I should hire you!

::  April 29th, 2004  ::

Printable member cards now available!  Print some and tell me how many thousand you distributed.  Seriously, I'd love to hear how it all worked out for you.

::  April 26th, 2004  ::

I think business cards or membership cards are in order.  I'll be working on a downloadable format so you can print your own.  If you are interested email me.  Is everyone you play with listed on the site?  If not, add them.  Send me pictures of your smashing, afterall, this is OUR site.

::  April 22nd, 2004  ::

Not much new other than Pat Balvance doing a little smashing on the video page.  Also, a new picture of Dave Leisch.  Things are also starting to come together with Eschewed Clothing.  Who the Eff is that 80's dude in their ad?

::  April15th, 2004  ::

100 members, whooo-hoo!!  John Gramata became the 100th member.  I restructured my lists, from now on they will auto update themselves for anyone past 100. 

Send in pictures and videos!!

::  April 13th, 2004  ::

A new video demonstrating the Double Axe-Handle Smash is up in both Quicktime and Windows Media format.  The Eschewed ad now opens the Eschewed Clothing Mega Site.  Send James an email telling him how bad you want to see his designs.

::  April 11th, 2004  ::

Happy Easter!  Not a big sandwich holiday, oh well, not like the 4th of July, now that's a sandwich smashin' day.  I did a little bit of spell checking and rewriting on the rules and definitions pages.  If you find any errors or have a technicality you need resolved, don't hesitate to email it.

Also, this whole Sandwich Club thing is an open idea.  If you have any ideas, submissions or just random comments, PLEASE let me know.  If you have skills in web-design, Flash, or graphics and would like to help out, let me know.

If you and your friends are playing and have said the catch phrase or smashed in, I need to have your names on the members page.  Use the new and improved Join Now button.

::  April 10th, 2004  ::

I got to the members list finally, I had a lot of digging out to do after the ilovebacon.com day.  If I missed you or any other error was made, email me.

Zac Clark and Jason Tallant became the first two people to smash-in.  Congratulations to them.

Long time member Dave Leisch has been hired on as our new Senior Marketing Advisor.  It was Dave's brainchild to try to get linked on www.ilovebacon.com which resulted in over 5,000 unique hits.

Also, on a side note.  No one on the contacts page has ever received an email from the site.  I figure that their jobs are total BS, why not send them a BS email offering them a BS job?  It will make them feel good. 

:  April 9th, 2004  ::

Back to normal, yesterday was insane.  I was linked on www.ilovebacon.com on the mail bag page and I got over 5,000 hits in one day.  Normally, I get 50 hits in a day.  For all of you that emailed me and are interested in the Sandwich Club, thank you.  Please be patient, I'll add all of you to the list, I have all of your info, I just need to catch up a bit.  It's just me, one dude, Kurt.  Thanks for you patience.  I'll leave up the yellow crap below, just for you to see the panic I was in.

Put the catch phrase in quotes and send me an email to join.

:: April 8th, 2004  ::

IF you came from ilovebacon.com please tell me.  I had no idea so many people would come in here. I wish I had better membership forms on here.

Please Help ME!!    I've gotten 3,000 hits today alone.  It took me 3 weeks to get 600.  I wish I knew of this  great madness, please email me to join the club.  I WILL respond to ALL emails.  Join the Sandwich Club, it's nothing more than a bunch of crap that gives you a right to smash your friends sandwiches.   info@thesandwichclub.com

Australia, Canada, Ohio, Florida, Oregon, Minnesota, Colorado, California...  It's on, world domination.  Thanks and big props to the new members spreading the joy.  I think that Sully got his whole family in, whether or not he smashes his mom, that's still unanswered.  If his mom smashes him... now that's dope.

I got a smash this week and also the smash out pictures of Brent Meyer are on the pictures page.

::  April 5th, 2004 ::

We are proud to bring on Sully Sullivan as our new Executive Recruitment Director for the Great Lakes region.  He is being paid a large salary, but we feel it is worth it.  The Sandwich Club is spreading though Ohio like a virus.

I updated the definitions and rules a bit and also added a Guestbook, Challenge and T-Shirt page.

::  April 3rd, 2004 ::

The biggest day in Sandwich Club history came this weekend when Danny Stahl of Ohio became the first member to join purely based on the new web presence.  Welcome Danny, may the club spread like a plague in your home state of Ohio.

::  March 31st, 2004  ::

James O'Conner has signed on as our new PR director.  James hopes to deploy a dynamic new strategy to ensure that we reach the 1,000 member mark.

::  March 29th, 2004  ::

There's a hot new QuickTime video on here now.

::  March 28th, 2004  ::

The Sandwich Club now has members in four states and in Canada.  Also, the history of the club has been fully researched and will be updated soon.

::  March 25th, 2004  ::

Hundreds of hits on the site.  If we only had hundreds of hits on sandwiches.  Only a few things to report.  Thanks to all of you that have viewed and passed on the site.  I also made a few corrections to the grammar thanks to James O'Conner.  A deal is in the works to bring him on as our new Director of Public Relations.  For now be sure to check out his new clothing company.  Sorry about the dead link on his ad.  They are currently in a nasty domain dispute with Yahoo over the rights.

::  March 23rd, 2004  ::

First of all, this site is temporary.  A full featured club page is on the way.  I'm sure it's very incomplete and full of typos.  If you are reading this because it was forwarded to you and you want more info, please send an email.

I'm just trying to get a few pages up here.  I know it's ghetto, but we need something on here.  Membership is booming and the club needs a web presence to go global.

If you have any ideas or suggestions for the content or if you find an error.  Email me and I'll get right on it.

Be patient and there will be more stuff on this site soon.
