Hong-Chih Kuo Is Powered by Subway

Tired of the incessant "$5 Footlong" Subway commercials, with their double entendre and stupid, catchy jingle? Maybe you're lucky you don't live in Taiwan, where Hong-Chih Kuo sells NT$69 subs (that's about two dollars in the States) with a 180-km/hr (111-mph) fastball that literally catches on fire and moves the catcher two frictionless feet backwards. In my book, there's only ever been one better Subway commercial.

Hat tips to Diamond Notes and BBTF for giving me an excuse to make a Happy Gilmore reference.
