LOS ANGELES (AP) - Thomas Gregory Arthur, the baseball stadium concessionaire whose foot-long Nathan's knockoff came up short and became the beloved Dodger Dog, has died. He was 84.
"He called it the foot-long dog, but it was actually only 10 inches."
"It's not the meat. The secret is the spices."
Yeah, yeah, that's what they all say.

we all like to claim they are bigger than they really are.
But once you add the mustard and relish and onions...
Lite kethcup (Heinz), a dab of fresh relish.
And I'd prefer the schnizel be cooked to the point of splitting it's seam. That way you know that all the hog's snout bacteria has been killed. Plus, you get the illusion of having a bigger frank.
How I dream of having a bigger frank.
Toasted bun gets a bonus 8 points.
BTW, just made s'mores on the backyard fire pit last weekend. Tried teaching niece Angela and nephew Cody the fine art of flaming the 'mallow...stoping short of making it inedible. They failed. Miserably. More evidence that they aren't, in fact, related to me. Shame, too. They're great kids, otherwise.
Even carved of fresh roastin' sticks from the fresh sprouts on the Fruitless Mulberry trees lining our 1960's era housing tract. Didn't matter. They still burned the bejesus out of them.
But mine came out perfect. Perhaps they learned something by osmosis. They'll appreciate it when I'm gone.

I like your style. But I can't find any contact info, SF.
I'd like to know what podcasts you take the time to listen to. Besides the obvious, obviously.

once at an Indians game, "Slider the Mascot" fell off a dugout and broke his leg during his "wingin' wienies" routine. and remember when randall simon from the pirates was reprimanded for whacking a teenager in a hotdog costume with his bat? when did the stadium dog become such a harbinger of tragedy? it's like the damn Hope Diamond.
