That's not really a mixed metaphor.
Bud Selig, who obtained $400 million++ from taxpayers for his new baseball stadium (Miller Park) so that the value of the Brewers would increase so that Bud could sell it at a large profit....
Yah, that Bud Selig.
Anyhow, he purchased a delicatessen in one of Milwaukee's more........ahhh......sketchy neighborhoods. At high noon it's not a bad place to be, but Condition Yellow is in order. That said, it's not likely that Bud's paying a lot of property-tax on the joint.
Anyhow.
Thought I'd drop down there to pick up a pastrami sammich and some chalava. Checked it out on the inter-tubes, of course. Apparently Bud's 'free money' deal at Miller Park resonates with him--he's getting SIXTEEN DOLLARS for a pastrami sammich (with pickle.)
It gets better. Having decided that SIXTEEN DOLLARS for a sammich-with-pickle is utterly ridiculous, I thought I'd inquire as to whether the place still offers chalava. So I called the joint and got a recording: if I want to order something to go, call "Grubhub," if I have other questions, leave a message.
LEAVE A MESSAGE!!????!!! To ask if you still offer chalava? SERIOUSLY??
Apparently the "kiss my toe" which got him his Miller Park hasn't gone away. But customers might.
