Sure I'm "weird", but am I really "unamerican"?

Vegetarians are weird- Ballpark Franks commercial

Even if I did eat meat I wouldn't touch their nasty products. :P~~~

Yeee...

...as a vegetarian I just don't see how any brand of hotdog counts as food...they're full of stuff most folks wouldn't even give their pets!

But hey, if you like 'em...

Well, some brands are better than others. Most supermarket brands have a lot of filler -- lips and assholes, as it were.

I like Hebrew National because their dogs are 100% beef. Now I grant that the beef that goes into the dogs isn't the choice parts of the steer, but the fact is that even the normally-inedible shank (foreleg) and oxtail (tail) are good for some applications (say, making stock, for instance). :)

Oscar Meyer will do in a pinch because, well, it's Oscar Meyer. And Fenway Franks are the best hot dogs in the whole world because you can only get them at Red Sox games. :)

Well, no matter what parts of the cow go into making the hotdog, it's still part of the slaughterhouse industry, which has a host of health concerns all its own that I won't go into detail about. Suffice to say, what constitutes "edible" is a site of contestation!

(I have separate issues with the way Hebrew National hotdogs are probably made...again, I won't get into it...suffice to say, yeeee....)

As for the Red Sox, do I detect some Chowd Nation loyalty over there?

Nope, none at all (he tried to deadpan, but was unable to keep a straight face while typing).

I would add something to this string of comments but I'm being distracted by your icon. Mmmm, Patrick... :)

You need to come join the sjsharks community, if you haven't already. All kinds of fetching iconography running around. They had one of Cheechoo, too. :)
