It's one of those weird local traditions that's been going on forever but no one seems to know any reason or origin story for it, similar to the ducks at the Peabody Hotel. What really makes me comment is that even though I went through a "The Firm" phase many years ago, I had no idea that was Ed Harris (obviously my "Creepshow" phase didn't arrive until later), but it all makes sense now. I love the scene where he orders the steak sandwiches "on the rolls."Mike B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10402206874230820940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-3504421484817580652009-12-10T09:23:41.379-05:002009-12-10T09:23:41.379-05:00True.

Plus, I dig Ed Harris.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.com
