Reliable sources are telling me that Karl Kuceris of USA Subs hired a videographer earlier this week to spy at Great America Subs in Londonderry. Apparently, he was secretly video taping during a very busy lunch rush the techniques of Tim Ferris while making sandwiches such as: The Italian Sub, The Tuna Pocket, and even The Steak Bomb. This story gets even more disturbing. If this video tape proves that Karl is guilty of spying, the National Sub Committee (NSC) could penalize USA Subs by taking away his rights to the Steak Bomb. I will keep you updated on this story as more information comes available. Not only could he lose his rights to the Steak Bomb, but also a conditional cold sub as well. The NSC is planning a press conference later this afternoon.

This is truly a “GREAT AMERICA”. Where else in the world can you have a STEAK BOMB WAR. There are people in other countries that would never have the luxury of even eating a great tasting sub like the one Great America produces every day. Where else would you have (EVIL Karl) – The pocket protecting pencil head geek VS (GOOD Tim) “The All American” Ferris. Every time I walk in Great America Subs I can hear the Hulkster’s theme music ringing in my ear, “I am a real american figting for the rights of every man.” Hey Tim, have you thought about running for President of the United States of America in ‘08 and if so what would your campaign slogan be? We already know Karl’s. “Read my lips, no new STEAK BOMBS!”

Top 5 Inventions of all time
Here are the most popular inventions researched by our readers.

1. The Telephone
The telephone is an instrument that converts voice and sound signals into electrical impulses for transmission by wire to a different location, where another telephone receives the electrical impulses and turns them back into recognizable sounds. In 1875, Alexander Graham Bell built the first telephone that transmitted electrically the human voice.

2. The Steak Bomb
A Steak Bomb is a hot submarine sandwich found in most pizza and sub shops throughout the New England area of the United States. This popular sandwich has a reputation for being overstuffed and very messy to eat. Karl Kuceris was a pioneer back in the late 1900’s who invented the Steak Bomb in 1986 upon opening a sandwich shop called, USA Subs. There have been many attempts to duplicate the Steak Bomb most notably another sub shop owner Tim Ferris of Great America Subs who also claimed to be the home of the world famous steak bomb. This created quite a legal battle and media circus in August of 2007.

4. The Automobile
5. The Cotton Gin

Karl,

Thanks, you have inspired me. I would like to purchase a franchise from you and join the steak bomb war. I can see it now USA Subs the owner of the original Steak Bomb. OH No you didn’t invent it? SO you just like the name and figured you could flex your muscles a little and steal it away from everyone else. I take it back I would rather own a Joe lunchbox Sub Shop than a USA Subs franchise. Maybe you should have thought this one through before acting so childishly

Yes, a petition can be filed up to 5 years from the date of registration, regardless of ownership. There is something in the trademark industry called “generic terms”, which this may very well fall under. Intellectual Property attorneys are very expensive, so the owner(s) at Great America Subs would be best served to have their lawyer(s) contact the many other subshops that sell “steak bombs”, because it may be in their best interest to get involved and possibly file a joint petition to cancel, just in case Usa Subs does indeed become a franchise and decides down the road to enforce this “generic” trademark again. Although Usa Subs too, would spend thousands if they actually wanted to go through the whole process of trying to prevent any subshop from using the term “steak bomb”, and ultimately millions of dollars if they tried to go after every subshop individually. The cancellation process does have to be filed through the court system, because trademarks generally aren’t voided simply because people don’t agree with them. If down the road Usa Subs starts opening other stores, I am sure D’angelo’s lawyers would then get involved, in the best interest of their future franchises, and easily have this trademark removed. I am sure that they just like the rest of the region, right now realizes that Usa Subs is a joke.

I just heard about this story from my son on Thursday who attends Londonderry High School. Apparently his teacher in business management was discussing this topic to the class. My son, says that the entire Londonderry football team eats at Great America Subs and the backup QB works there. My son also claims that USA subs was planning on opening a franchise right down the road from Great America Subs and he found out from his best friend Alex’s mother. Friday night at the Lancers game (we lost 31-7) I was talking to quite a few parents in the Lancer cheering section and they also had heard this rumor. This is what the folks around town apparently believe to be the real motive behind the trademark. It will be interesting in the coming months to see if these folks at USA Subs are really as sleazy as the town of Londonderry are portraying them to be. The folks in this town are very protective of their local businesses. This could make for an even more interesting rivalry come mack plaque weekend. The battle of Londonderry vs Derry, Blue vs Red, Great America vs USA, boy is local politics fun.

People often ask me for advice on how to be successful. “Is there a secret?” they say.

As we all know, real success comes slowly and is due to a number of different factors all coming together over a period of years. Being successful takes intelligence, natural talent, knowledge, skill, hard work, smart choices, persistence and luck.

Although there is no real shortcut, there is a secret: a secret so powerful that you can use it to open doors that might otherwise be closed, and to influence people to help you time and again. In fact, I would go as far as to say that this is the secret that has a lot to do with my success.

The secret is simple: Steak Bombs

OK, enough is enough… Subway’s stock is down 20% since this story first aired. I’m so depressed I feel like packing on a few pounds and then suing USA Subs for attempted murder. Silly huh? Kinda like sending out a “cease and desist” letter to another sub shop in a different zip code for selling a STEAK BOMB. Oops… Am I allowed to use that term?
