Final Exam, Question 13

I've done this once or twice before: I don't like "bonus" questions on exams but I like to give a little freebie question to lighten the mood.  These are the results of the very artistically talented (as well as some of the less artistically talented) students in my web applications class.  Disclaimer: don't try to feed a taco to a hippo, they don't eat meat and they're more dangerous than sharks or lions or bears or bearsharks or lionbears.  Maybe try a vegetarian taco***.

#10: I appreciate this answer because the author really followed the directions.


#9: There's irony in this much contemplation from a hippo that doesn't understand the concept of words.


#8: I'm surprised there weren't *more* maracas and sombreros.


#7: I don't have any idea what's wrong with this hippo... but I know there's a lot right.


#6: Pretty sure this student thought that Hippo and Taco were some type of web application framework and that this was a serious question.  At least that's what I'd like to believe.


#5: Hippocow has sharp teeth.


#4: Most hippos can't bear to stand up when fantasizing about tacos and hot sauce.  True story.


#3: Great entry but loses 3 points for not following the instructions.


#2: This one has great depth.


#1: I would think that hippos wouldn't use Comcast, but a quick Google search for "hippo internet" shows Comcast as the first ad and an IE download, so this might be the most accurate of all of them.




*** don't try to feed a hippo a vegetarian taco either

The Gobbler from Arby's

Stop.  Stop what you're doing and go to Arby's. Right. Now.  Have them make you a Gobbler .  This is not something you'll regret. Go. Eat this thing. Look at that bacon. Go. Arby's has a new sandwich.  It's called "The Gobbler" and as far as I can tell it's two things: a vehicle for their new deep fried turkey, and an attempt at a Thanksgiving themed sandwich.  It's also a third thing: magically delicious. move over Lucky, there's a new holiday mascot on the block Unwrapping: this actually looks like a sandwich.  It looks appetizing.  It looks like something I want to eat.  It doesn't look like the promo photo above, but it doesn't look like someone was flailing around and accidentally smashed up a sandwich, either. sexy Instagram caption goes here First bite: Wow.  I mean, "WOW."  Holy h*ck this is good.  The turkey has a really bold, meaty flavor.  It tastes a lot like turkey sliced fresh from your...

Get Go Sandwich Standoff: "West Coast Chicken Sub" vs "Parma Mia"

Recently I decided that my stomach (and heart) had enough of a break since my last gastrointestinal undertaking at GetGo , so I headed over to the local purveyor of diesel fuel, fine foods, and gasoline to to try their New Yorker sub. Unfortunately it was a limited time offer, and time was up... but they did have this new great looking sandwich, the West Coast Chicken Sub . According to the GetGo Cafe website : "Our exclusive West Coast Chicken Sub is stacked with tender, juicy chicken, crisp bacon, melty Swiss, fresh spinach, tomato and guacamole, all on a multigrain sub roll baked fresh in-store!" I ordered a 3.5" straightaway, and I also picked up a Parma Mia (GetGo's over-the-top take on a Chicken Parmesan sub). First impressions: what I ended up with looked quite a bit different from the picture in the store. Not quite "stacked with" anything, really. I got a slice of tomato, 4 spinach leaves, about 3 tiny strips of grilled ...

Sheetz Sandwich Standoff: El Gringo vs Twisted Swiss

My wife left me alone for dinner tonight so I decided to check out the latest GetGo offerings... but to my great chagrin, they have no promotional subs. My travels led me to the local Sheetz, where I'd be able to keep eating the best gas station sandwiches around. To keep tradition alive, I picked the two most outrageous "Burgerz" on the menu: El Gringo and Twisted Swiss. The ingredient list is promising: Twisted Swiss is the burger with topped with swiss cheese, cole slaw, pickles, bacon, and whatever "Boom Boom Sauce" is on a pretzel bun.  El Gringo is the burger topped with pepper jack cheese, chili, Doritos, and BBQ sauce on a regular old bun. I unwrapped them both and stood back to admire the majesty before me. They're not pretty, but they do look a lot better out of the wrapper than many fast food burgers I've eaten. Twisted Swiss I expected this sandwich to be an awful mess.  It just seemed like a bunch ...
