What's the deal with q-sands? -

[JimReynolds]

I have been following OPL for about two years now, but I have always wondered about q-sands. I have been unable to find any information about how this term came about. If anyone can show me where this term was first used I would greatly appreciate it.

 

[The Dude]

It's a term coined by Chris for a "quarter of a sandwich". It goes back to the Jackie emails where Chris told Jackie about an incident where his parents went into a diner and the owner told them to leave because Brup pulled out a part of a sandwich she had in her purse and ate it at the table. Most places frown upon people bringing outside food into their diners. Brup and the owner got into a bitching match and Bob just sat there, praying for GodBear to strike him dead.

I find it hilariously telling that Barb would argue with the owner of the restaurant - the lady the restaurant is actually named after - about what her own restaurant's policy is. "Ah dun see nuh rule 'ritten nowhere" means that rule doesn't exist, among the Chandler Clan, apparently.

Assuming theres no sign posted I can only assume anyone can just waltz into chez Chandler. Afterall, its not written anywhere.

I had figured out from context that "q-sand" was a quarter of a sandwich (when I first came to this forum I had assumed a q-sand was some sort of East coast convience store sandwich I hadn't heard of), but I was unfamiliar with the origin until The Dude enlightened me. I went and found the letter in questions, it really shows just how classy Barb is.

It was rough on me today; worse on my parents.

To begin, after taking dad to his doc appointment, followed by fueling up the Mitsubishi, Mom hand he went to Riley's Diner in Ruckersville. I checked in with them via cellie as they made their way to the diner. Mom requested of me to put a gallon of gas in the red canister for the lawn tractor. I took a bag full of used cans with me also to dispose of them in a nearby dumpster behind Food Lion (there is no recycling facility or disposal area for cans around here yet).

I was going to take my car, but it would not start. So I called and informed mom about that, and that I would take the recently checked van instead. She also asked me to drive by Goodwill to swap the van for the Mitsu. I would have taken either the Honda or BMW, but I still lack manual transmission knowledge. The van started. After getting onto the road, I noticed the "check engine" being lit; at the moment I disregarded it. But after dropping off the cans in the dumpster, I started to press on, but after moving forward slightly, it stalled on me. And I could not restart it. I called mom to come to me then.

Beforehand, she had a bought with the bitchy server/owner of Riley's, Riley herself. Mom had a quarter of a chicken sandwich from McD; she brought it in with her. She had also got her tea at Riley's before this bout. Mom pulls out the quarter sandwich; Riley is all, "you can't eat food from another place here". There's no sign stating that anywhere there. So, mom ignored her and ate the q-sand in front of her. Riley asked her to leave. Mom wanted her tea too, and she had a big reusable plastic cup in the Mitsu. So she takes the cup of tea out to the car and fills Her cup with the tea. She then returned the restaurant's cup to the table dad was still sitting at. Riley bitched some more at mom about taking their cheap plastic glass outside. So, to come back for dad later, she leaves for the nearby Goodwill. Here is where I came in with the last call, as well as the following where I requested help stranded by the dumpster.

So mom comes with the Mitsu to the van; the jumper cables were in the back of my car, the escort, at home. So, she stayed at the van while I A) picked up dad at Riley's, B) stop to get lunch for me at the nearby Taco Bell/KFC; M.Deal 1: chick burrito, med drink and chips, C) return dad home and pick up the jumpers and D) return to mom and the van.

The van was still fighting with the mucky, old gasoline; mom and dad got earlier today a bottle of gas cleaner. So after returning to her, she poured in the cleaner, attached the jumpers, and got the van started. After putting away the jumpers, I followed her in the van with me in the Mitsu up to the nearby Sheetz.

After her parking the van by pump 7, I parked the Mitsu in a nearby space. I checked in with her, then went into Sheetz to wash my hands to allow me to eat the chick burrito. I sat in the van after she fueled it halfway, and fueled the canister; she had to poo bad. After she returned, I had finished the burrito; she got in and tried to start the van; no turnover. So I pulled the Mitsu up to the van to try rejumping; no good. Mom called dad; he suggested punchin' the pedal while starting up; no good. I stayed by her side during thebwait and restart trials, keeping her company and talkin'; it helped her feel better. Eventually, she reluctantly called for a tow, which arrived about 10 to 20 min. later, to tow the van to Chuck's, just less than half a mile north of Sheetz. The jumpers and can of gas were placed in the Mitsu. We followed the truck and van, left a pair of van keys with Chuck. He'll have another go at it soon. Then tired, mom and I finally came back home about quarter after 7. Killed my day.

I was planning on getting the songwork completed, but after what happened... I am sorry, but I will have to complete them tomorrow and upload them on Saturday.

Life happens. I know very well it's happening to both you and I. I still think of you lovingly and dearly.

I'll e-mail you again tomorrow.

If you watch the house tour videos at the end, you'll see they actually do have a sign.

"I saw that the "check engine" light was on, but fuck that noise. What does THAT have to do with anything?"

I had wondered about the q sand thing for awhile and I'm glad its finally been explained.

But Chris seriously referred to it as a q-sand? I don't know why but that made me crack up.

Edit: Also Chris' habit of including a shit ton of details that no one cares about is on full display here.

And somehow, Cole Smithey doesn't want this lovely woman to be a part of his life. I just don't get it.

If you watch the house tour videos at the end, you'll see they actually do have a sign.

What happens if I take down the sign? There is no longer any sign up, therefore the rule has ceased?

 

[Bugaboo]

I had thought he refered to a quater chicken sandwich at Macdonald's, because why would Barb eat a normal possibly healthy sandwich?
Also the title of this thread reminds me of a Jerry Seinfeld joke.

 

[José Mourinho]

When I first thought of Q-sands, I thought of sand on the beach and never on sandwiches.

Ain't no sign sayin' you cain't take the sign.

 

[MysticMisty]

As you can see Barb has raised Chris to be just as classy as herself. Probably the only reason he hasn't done this himself is because he doesn't hoard food in his purse for later. I can totally see him bringing home loads of condiment packets and napkins and such however. Because barb has taught him so well.

Also, will the rest of the Jackie emails be leaked, or has the inner circle decided they're still sensitive after all?

 

[PickleTron7000]

How many C Quarters does it take to buy a Q Sand?

The world may never know.

 

[HealthyMcWrap]

For some reason I was thinking that Q-sand was a CWC-ism for a Quarter Pounder with Cheese.

He's thought of dumber terms.

...China.

 

[CatParty]

what's the deal with q-sands?

they're delicious.

God what a fat hog, bringing food to a resteraunt, could her fat ass really not wait 2 seconds?

This is Snorlax we're talking about, remember. She doesn't think any rules apply to her and anyone who tells her otherwise is a JERK. That's where Chris got his attitude from.

Same with me. Up until I saw this thread I thought that a q-sand was a CWCism for a quarter pounder with cheese. It's about on the same level as his other CWCisms, plus it'd make sense with the forum title "q-sand chef." Kinda glad I'm not the only person who believed that.

The actual meaning of a q-sand is dumber than "quarter pounder with cheese" though.

But there was no sign saying she couldn't do that!

When you boil it right down it reveals a pretty immature mindset that's sadly all too common. One where someone gets all smug and thinks they have outsmarted everyone because nobody said "Simon says", or some other obscure technicality that doesn't actually exist in reality. (That ridiculous shit about undercover cops having to tell you that they're cops if you simply ask them comes to mind. It's completely moronic and makes absolutely no sense, but you'd be surprised at how many people still believe it to this day.)
