Sidebar and wieners
A couple of things before I begin.
Those of you that are remotely observant will notice that I’ve added some content to the sidebar on the left. For those of you not observant, I’m now pointing it out to you.
First is the picture of me today. This is just what is sounds like. I’ll try to take a picture of myself everyday and post it. Today’s is taken from my trusty camera phone.
Next is the quote of the day. This will be a collection of actual conversations that I either overhead or said myself.
Finally is the site of the day. This will be some things on the wide world wide web that you may not have seen before that I deem necessary that one should see.
For the quote of the day and the site of the day, keep in mind that they’re only called that because “Site of the indeterminate period of time” would not fit.
Onto my day…
Today I slept in! Yes, I did. Due to my actions last Friday, and to the fact that I’m salaried exempt, I had a couple extra time to take off. So I did. This morning.
I meanered into work, and proceded to work.
When lunch time came around, the question representing the third stage of civilization arouse: “Where shall we go to lunch?”
I, as I always do, shouted the first random thing that came into my mind. Today, however, I didn’t shout within my usual repertoire: Cheese! or Hairy! or Lamplight!
no, for an inexplicable reason, I shouted, “Wienerschnitzel“
So we all piled into my car for a trip to the local wiener hut.
Now, I had been to Das Vienerschnitzel before, and wasn’t too impressed (neither were my bowels) but thought I’d give ‘em another go. Well, I discovered the secret. Yes, I had discovered the way to make these hot dogs edible! All you have to do is add two words to your order: “All beef”
Yup, that’s it. You see, they have a regular and an all-beef version of each menu item (now they have turkey too), so all you need to do is order your favorite and add: “all-beef”
I got a chili-cheese dog and an Italian sausage.
After work, I came home, did laundry, ate leftovers from the barbeque yesterday, puzzled, and blogged.

Be careful what you yell. The thing about ordering all beef is that it seems that should be the default order and that if you were so inclined to be daring you could order a chili cheese dog and then add "lips & butt style please!" but alas the rat feces version is the default which requires the more discriminating palate to append the order to be "All Beef"

BTW… did you see the worlds most wanted Hot Dog while you were there?
