People born today can say they missed being born on the same day as the future king of England by a day, but they do still share a birthday with Harry Potter himself Daniel Radcliffe, legendary guitarist Slash, hall of fame hurler Don Drysdale and local radio personality Don Imus.
While Sunday was National Ice Cream Day today is a little warmer with it being National Hot Dog Day.Sonic has a $1.00 National Hot Dog Day celebration sale. Not bad in this economy.

National Hot Dog Day. The day when truly wise people disavow any knowledge of ketchup splashed on boiled wieners. As God intended, mustard on grilled hot dogs.
Does anyone know how the cell phone reception is in Lake Erie between Put-in-Bay and Port Clinton? Which is best - AT&T or Verizon?
I want to go to Put-in-Bay on Labor Day to see the re-enactment of the War of 1812 battle, but I have to be in cellular phone contact with patients/the hospital at all times. (Sorry, has nothing to do with hot dogs, except maybe we'll have some there if I can go.)
Still can't get to Instapundit. I tried RH Hardin's trick of googling it, but that link doesn't work either.
Starting to get the shakes...
As God intended, mustard on grilled hot dogs.
Yes. Indeed. Heh.
I just figured out what TOP means. You bums.
What does TOP mean?
In this context, either the other place or the old place. Both refer to Althouse blog.
In other contexts, don't ask that question in a bar.
It means The Other Place which we should not name or someone will come over here and attack somebody else.
You see it is an old Italian superstition that you should not mention someone's name because if you do they will suddenly appear at your door.
Catsup. Unless it's outdoors at a party. Then just a bun and the dog off the grill, no condiments.
Is it just me or is the new royal rug rat just an Ugly Baby?
Patrick, try clearing your cache or history or something. I'm on Firefox and it works fine.
There might also be a problem with an extension. Maybe something that doesn't play nice with the new comments.
That's an actual photo.
Kind of looks like Prince Charles doncha think?
Ah - Thank you Trooper York.
Open thread - where I make friendly with my rock 'n' roll frenemy, AprilApple. How you, babe?
I love the buns you get in New England. The hot dog must be natural casing and have a snap to them. There was a company in New Britain, Ct. called Martin Rosol. Maybe still is. They made the best hot dogs I've ever eaten. Putting ketchup on a hot dog is a mortal sin if you're older than 17. Mustard and I like kraut. However, there are a few places in Ct. that serve Michigans. A Michigan is a finely ground beef and tangy tomato based sauce, akin to bbq sauce. It's a chili dog that is not messy. A sandwich, hot dog, burger, reuben, SHOULD NEVER BE MESSY OR WET!!! I'm done pontificating.
I personally love a dirty water dog. You know the kind you get on the street from a pushcart. If you can eat that and not puke you can handle anything. The carbon monoxide gives it such a piquant and delicate taste.
Scrumptious.
Ideally the dog should be all-beef as well.
Of course you can't beat brown rice, seaweed, and a dirty hot dawg.
Is this in honor of new pic's of Anthony's Weiner?
tits.
Hebrew National FTW. I don't really like hot dogs all that much. Probably have one or two a year....maybe. But those are pretty good.
I don't like hot dogs but I dig lobster rolls, so fucking good.
tits.
lobster mac and cheese and lobster bene is amazing too.
Five best hot dog I have ever had:
5. Dirty water dog outside Macys on
34th St in NYC
4. Foot Long frank in the recreated mess hall on the USS Missouri on Oahu in Pearl Harbor.
3. At the little bar next to the pool where you can see the guy dive off the cliff at the Sheraton Black Rock in Maui.
2. Ulysses tavern on Stone ST in the financial district in NYC where you can get a platter of pig in a blanket.
1. Nathans at Coney Island.
TOP: Voldemortidelphia.
I want a tag.
Saw The Conjuring last night. It's not bad. And Patrick Wilson continues to be incredibly hot. Especially when he's being all heroic and protective against the forces of eeeeeeeevil. I'm already married but polygamy will be legal here pretty soon, right?

There's no reason to ever eat a hot dog in a world that includes brats. Either the planning or the execution has to have failed.
Chicago dogs are the worst!
I don't like a whole lobster though.
One time I opened it and found out this weird looking mass was a bunch of lobster babies....gross.
Weirdly, the best hot dog I ever had was in Sweden. I was skeptical about it before tasting it, but it was fabulous.
Every little town has numerous hot dog carts and little permanent hot dog huts. The choice of toppings were a bit bizarre.
Soft serve ice cream and candy shops were also plentiful. A favorite flavor over there is coca-cola.
A hot dog has to have pork in it. It makes it more moist. A corn dog, or a pronto pup that is made with only beef, just doesn't cut it.
I can't do hot dogs the way I used to, the spices do me in, but I do like Nathan's.
Then, again, nobody has better cheese fries than they do.
To die for.
Saw The Conjuring last night. It's not bad.
I saw World War Z over the weekend. Not bad either. I think 28 Days Later might have been a better Zeke movie.
Here's a good discussion on Rand Paul's political association problem. It drives me nuts when otherwise good people make such boneheaded moves. The number one priority of the media is calling Republicans racist, and you give them a tie-in like this? It's insane.

Great timing Weiner!
AllenS, a hot dog should be all pork. Or chicken, or turkey. Or a combination thereof.
Is this in celebration of Weiner and his good works?
I actually like Nathan's Hot Dogs. Very tasty.
Although Bratwursts are very good too. One day if I ever get to Germany I'll hit up one of their many frankfurter houses.
When you go to the original Nathans they have several things that are great. Eddy mentioned the cheese fries and there is a great piece of corn on the cob.
Nothing is better than being in you bathing suit after you were on the beach and you are on line on a blistering hot summer day and just as you order you dog a drop of sweat runs of Shaniqua's nose right on to your dog. It's heaven I tells ya. Heaven.
Don't think I've ever had a brat.
Several times when I was growing up Mom cooked knockwurst. Yuck!
The Dalai Lama, glorious in his summer saffron robes and naked spindle arms, walked up to NY hotdog vendor and said, "...
Just a note to say the promises to support someone made yesterday were kept today. At least 3 or 4 folks were involved, or will be when all done. There really are good people here.
With that, I apologize for my outburst of anger, but not for the reason for it. I still feel the same.
5, 4, 3, 2 ...
Thank you, Aridog. Sometimes, a man has to do, what a man has to do.
What's going to happen the next time Instapundit takes a vacation?
I strongly suspect he was guzzling down a tasty puppy shake when he added comments.
My favorite hotdog is imprinted by Der Weinerschnitzel, a job that I had briefly as a teener. I was the worst employee on Earth. I simply had no idea what was needed. As far as any preparation or seeing beyond my little thing, or putting it all together and determining things by priority, I was hopeless. At least I could make change.
And the best thing they have is something I'd not try on my own, a chilidog with onions, raw, from a #10 can, craptastic onions that you would not have otherwise, with cheese that is not really, you know, cultivated cheese. Steamed whitebread bun. It is the best to me. Something I need. Gotta go there and get it. Even though I can make them myself 10 X better in every aspect, meat, bun, chili, cheese, onion, everything better, all that is not so satisfying as the first one imprinted.
Patrick,
What do you see in the address bar?

"........make me one with everything."
The weather channel is telling the news and the spot they've chosen is the same as Powers of 10. With their graphics zooming in and down to the action onshore, it's like the video all over again.
I think furniture and design people made that Power of 10 book. Eams. Possibly.
Still makes me laugh. It's just so silly.
Furniture and design people are pure evil. Not to be trusted.
I was out of hot dog buns yesterday, so I rolled them up in small tortillas. I'm not a flour tortilla fan, but it was pretty good with mustard, and neater that with a bun.
Today I listened to a radio show about the Taiping Rebellion in China about 150 years ago. I had never heard of it before. It was bizarre and horrible, like something out of an alternate history someone made up. Here's wiki's intro:
The Taiping Rebellion was a massive civil war in southern China from 1850 to 1864, against the ruling Manchu-led Qing Dynasty. It was a millenarian movement led by Hong Xiuquan, who announced that he had received visions in which he learned that he was the younger brother of Jesus. At least 20 million people died, mainly civilians, in one of the deadliest military conflicts in history.
Rabel, when I type that in, I get the "we're working on the site" message. Just trying Paddy's suggestion now. Thanks for the input. I'm sure it's something on my end, just to find out what.
Shudder.
Nathan"s in Airports are hideous but the Legal Test Kitchen is yummy in an airport.
pointy tits.
Best regional hot dogs...
Did any of you read the fantastic report about Where You Live affects your Life Time Earning potential?
Natch, NYC, Boston, San Fran, Seattle and even Salt Lake City win big time.
Charlotte, Memphis, Atlanta and most of the South your future looks bleak .....in terms of advancing your income.
Paddy's cache clearing did it. My wife always says I should clean up more.
Thanks!
Now I can comment at Instapundit. Seems kind of like spitting in the ocean, though.

Except for SLC, all Lefty nirvanas.
How many will be going the way of Detroit and Chi-town in 10 years?
Emile Griffith passed away today. He was a hellava fighter and one tough mo.
I used to run into him at the Felt Forum back in the day when he was managing Juan Laporte. He was not very approachable but respected as a boxing guy. Like Cus D'amato. Only gayer.
Herbie used to run his snack truck out to Hanover NJ Airport on weekends, catering to guys hanging around - you can't be flying all the time - and people watching them.
The hot dogs weren't great and weren't bad but you ate a lot of them over the years.
As my best airport friend said, I don't know why men and women get together. They have nothing in common.
The four-seater planes are owned by guys who thought their wife and kids would like flying.
The only constant companions were a guy and his cousin, who flew every weekend together. Everybody else flew alone and stood around the snack truck.
I recommend long distance bicycle riding, if you want a hobby that works out.
My father flew a plane, and hung around the smaller airports a lot. He was crazy for it. But he knew going into it my mother wouldn't cooperate. She went up once, on the promise of a new washing machine, and made him land within 5 minutes of taking off.
I'd go flying with him though. I used to make up "purposes", like, hey, let's go see if we can spot horseshoe crabs from the air!
Shit, I miss him.
Didn't he get beat up leaving a gay bar Troop?
He liked "men and women".
Disgusting.
I think furniture and design people made that Power of 10 book. Eams. Possibly.
Yes, it was them.
Basta, your dad sounds awesome.

All that only matters if you are an "average person". Don't be an average person.
Interesting that National Hotdog day coincides with Weiners new outing. It should be renamed to National HotDouche day.
HotDouche McFly was a legendary janitor of the porn business back in the day.
Jewish wiener anyday over an Arab prick.
Inga, have you ever had muzzie hog?
I like both Jewish and muzzie dick.
Don't bitch about it until you tried it.
Diverse hogs are hot.
tits.
Bagoh20 sez ...
Don't be an average person.
Yeah. Don't become the "Fist of Goodness"
and run along roof tops either.
My sister got married the day Princess Di died. So every year, the press provides a reminder of her anniversary.
