olddude,

Closer to the idea of Hot Dog Porn (and maybe putting this thread above the line) would be for you to get a copy of the anthology "Stars Of The Apollo" (Columbia KG 30788 as an LP) and catch Butterbeans & Susie singing their calssic, "I Want A Hot Dog For My Roll".

Also catch:

"Gimme A Pigfoot"-Bessie Smith
"Sweet Sue, It's You"-The Mills Brothers
"I Put A Spell On You"-"Screamin'" Jay Hawkins
"He's Long Gone From Bowling Green"-Buck & Bubbles & Their Buckets
"Fifteen Minute Intermission"-Cab Calloway (Possibly the greatest band break song of all time!)


....among other wonderful stuff as you enjoy your Dogs.






CarolC,

Been there, done that. I grew up (to the extent I ever did) down the road in Kensington. When were you in the Wheaton area?

And not pictured is/was Little Oscar, a midget that used to tour grocery stores in his Weenie-mobile, as pictured, and give demonstrations and pass out samples. Since I collected antique metal advertising signs, a friend who assistant-managed a grocery store gave me the giant inflatable Oscar Meyer Weinerand the inflatable (squeaking) Little Oscar doll which I no longer have, because he thought I'd like them.



A true story:
Also, at the same time, I'd been given a couple of large plastic store signs that look like the containers of Oscar Meyer Bologna. I was trying to sell them off at a flea market when a high wind struck up and blew the light plastic sign away into an aquaintance who was selling her stuff a few tables down.

"Severn, what the HAIL (she was Southern) is THIS?" she asked, holding it aloft.

I said without hesitation, "The answer, my friend, is bologna in the wind.....", while my best friend at the next table cracked up and was just about rolling on the ground. He still reminds me about it.

No siree, they just don't HAND you straight lines like that enough in real life....
