important sandwich update, from the new restaurant opening in the old location of ilx-famous-i-guess piratz tavern
The outdoor patio is named Sam’s Garden after his son (which also explains why the section of the menu listing burgers and such is labeled “Samwiches”).

"Samwiches" unegregiously fits in that context.

"Throwing someone under the bus" doesn't make much sense. You can't throw someone under a bus that you're both riding on.
If (in the metaphor) you're on the bus with a person, you can really only push them out of the bus. And if you push them out the window, they will land either to the side of the bus, or behind it. Not under the bus, unless you can somehow lean out the window (holding a struggling person) and throw them at an awkward angle.
You can throw someone under a bus that just happens to be passing by, but that requires you to know exactly when the bus is coming. More likely it would just be *a* bus, not *the* bus.
PLUS you need to be able to lift a person, and relatively few people can lift another (presumably unwilling) adult.
So expressions that would make sense are either (a) "Push them out of *the* bus." Or (b) "Push them under *a* bus."

people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones
Yeah! They totally could! Especially if they threw them out of the door or window. Or just threw the stones a short distance, into a pillow or something. Lots of ways to throw a stone in a glass house. Even MORE ways if you don't care about breaking glass or replacing it.

What if you are without sin but live in a glass house? How would you know what the heck to do at all?
― Moodles, Thursday, 1 June 2017 21:52 (seven years ago) link
Ye mad Puffin, I think the point of the glass-house stone-throwing aphorism is not that you might injure your own house, but that the people you tried to injure by throwing stones at them can safely retreat into their non-glass relatively stone-proof houses, then later they can quickly and easily retaliate by demolishing your highly vulnerable glass house by chucking stones at it, so you end up homeless and they dance around, thumb their noses at you, laugh, and point at you as the stupid guy in the glass house who started a war he was bound to lose.
I think I got that right.

The very modern affectation (last two or three years? it's everywhere now) of starting a certain king of social media post with "So." "So I interviewed Ethel Merman this morning." "So I just won the Nobel Prize for chemistry." "So it looks like I'm someone everyone's talking about." I think it's supposed to be self-deprecating--an aw-shucks clearing of the throat--but I find it almost as weird as referring to yourself in the third-person. ("So Bob Dole has a new memoir coming out next week." "Thank you, Senator Dole.")
