Brings back a memory, cthebear. When I was young my mom used to make tongue, but the first time I saw it before she cooked it, a(as described in another post), I could never eat it again. She said if I didn't eat it, I didn't get anything else. I went to bed hungry that night, and every time I tried to to close my eyes, I could see that huge, bumpy, horrible tongue. (Now I will probably see it again tonight!)

Hey we ate cows tongue stew growing up(just once I think). Barf!!
Don't balme the pregnancy, I am too and nooooooo wayy would I eat that..lol
Ask "survivor" on here about it..LOL She has a weak stomach.

How about:

"The boss knows about you, lunch thief". This lunchroom is now under video camera surveillance!

Or would that be considered infringing on employees rights....

lol, yes it would be "infringing on employees rights" as my work fought to keep a camera in the lunch room so that they could watch and make sure no one stayed past their 'time', came down to being ordered by law to get rid of the cam. I know the perfect idea...............give them the cows tongue sandwich, then wait to see whos going to be running to the washroom getting sick ..............unless its cthebear ......then she'd be happy as a bear with honey....or a teen burger.

You guys just don't appreciate good food "give them the cows tongue sandwich, then wait to see whos going to be running to the washroom getting sick" probably wouldn't work unless you labelled it, otherwise they would probably think it was Spam. Think about it!

One day cthebear & I and other tongue lovers should get together for a feast - only thing is we would need a really big pan, because a cow's tongue is really big.

Have a nice day, all ye with weak tummys!

(I don't know how this subject started - but I have SUCH a craving for tongue now )

thats the problem i dont wanna think about it. all i picture is a tongue layed out on bread, not pulverized looking like spam.... I guess this is one time i am happy with being ignorant of what a tongue sandwich looks like. i cant help but think it would be rubbery as well
kinda like jujubes.........thanks for the laughs once again.

Forget tongue... get a Subway wrapper, wrap it around a dog turd sandwich, and you have all the revenge you need.


OR:

- find a way to get a hidden lipstick camera ("nanny cam") into the lunch room
- catch him on video
- transfer video to your computer
- upload video to Youtube/Google Video/etc
- open a new Hotmail account with a dummy name
- email all your coworkers and bosses the link to the video
- hopefully he'll get fired or at least lose all his friends

dog turd sandwich..... I think thats worse than the tongue sandwich!! Im pregnant and this thread totally grosses me out!! Just cant help myself!!

Damn it! My lunch got stolen again today!

Same with with a co-worker in my department. I lost my frozen dinner and ziplock full of popcorn. He put a bowl of tuna in the fridge but kept his bread to make sandwiches at his desk, thinking no one would steal just the tuna. Wrong!!
He was super and ready to plot vengance.....so I am off to google "Exlax Recipes"

LOL.. this is too funny. Sounds like thye may just be doing it for attention...

get a nanny cam. not sure how much they are though.

Ivy,
When you find some good 'Exlax' Recipies, please share them with us!!
I can't wait to see what you come up with!

In the 'mean' time.....its really not hard to pass off a cat food sandwich as a tuna sandwich..lol!!

Have you considered getting your own bar fridge? Or use those picnic type insulated containers with frozen gel type packs....just freeze them before you go to bed and take them out just before you go to work.....should keep your sandwich cool for several hours.

Oh my god! I just remembered something! Last year we were going through the fridge here at work and throwing stuff out that has been there for ever! (we are a small company of like 8 employees and they all know about fridge day). Martin and I decided to check in the cupboards also. We found an old mason jar of green chow-chow that had started to grow alot of mold. We had a lunch thief but have narrowed it down to a driver ( i am a dispatch). Martin had most of his nacho's eaten. So we decided to shake up the chow chow and put the months old nachos beside them in the fridge! Well low and behold the next morning no more nachos and no very little chow chow! We have yet to figure out who stole the stuff but we have not lost anymore food! I was getting my 5$ dip swipped everytime i would bring it in! So we had had enough!

yuck!!!!
Now i leave expired yoguart....everyone knows now to throw them out because we are trying to find the lunch thief!!

Although I'm sure the lunch thieves are annoying, I wouldn't recommend doing something like this. Home-canned items that have spoiled could contain seriously harmful bacteria, even botulism.

I don't think stealing lunches should be punishable by hospitalization, or even death.

I think the "nanny-cam" is the best idea, but frankly, I would do what DavidY has suggested and keep my lunch in a small cooler or insulated back and far away from the lunch room.
