"In 2000, 160 children died from an obstruction of the respiratory tract. 17 kids in the US and Canada died from eating Asian Jello in 2001.

A call for redesign of the most dangerous foods is ridiculed by authorities such as Janet Riley, President of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (it's a real organization), but Eugene D. Gagliardi Jr., the inventor of Steak umms, and popcorn chicken, is going to save the day again.


The result? A new hot dog that looks the same in the package, but has eight deep slits that open when cooked, causing it to break apart into small pieces when eaten.

It will be marketed soon on the East Coast."

My question is this: What does a penis pump have to do with toddlers choking on hot doggies?

I thot is WAS "I believe the hot dogs go on!"

You can't own me hot dog man.

Can you get me one of those hot dogs.

Hot Dog!

Hmmmm ... I wonder if he has a "license to sell hot dogs" [Heh Heh] =o/

He would have done it with hot dogs, but he ate them instead.

I'm not sure I see what all the fuss is about, though that may be because I don't really "use" the channels at all aside from ticking some boxes when I post a new Sift.

You should try it and you'll quickly see why it's a problem. Browse to a channel that sounds like it might be interesting and see how many videos would actually scratch that itch. Results will vary wildly depending on what you choose.

If drugs are your topic of choice, you may find yourself watching teletubbies today.

If human sexuality intrigues you, prepare to watch 2 cats have sex while a third dry humps them.

Does the far east fascinate you? You'll be sorting through every video that contains an Asian person. It could be a video of some guy who's lived in San Diego his entire life watching an NFL game, drinking a Budweiser, and eating a hot dog but if he's got an epicanthus, he's going in #asia.

Lots of people (most, if I had to guess) just don't care. But then why are we spending all this time cataloging videos if nobody gives a shit?

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right. Let's either make a good effort to make channels valuable, or get rid of them altogether and just do this because it will be way less work.

We seem hellbent on destroying words. I mean, we now use the same word to describe Homer's Iliad as we do to describe facial hair and deep-fried, bacon-wrapped hot dogs. When something truly epic or awesome happens, how will we be able to describe it?


doubleplusawesome?

My initial reaction was "$250 for a pen? what are you going to write with it anyway?"

But watching the video, there is clearly some awesome* skill there, and as someone who has spent large amounts of time practising cuts with a wooden sword, I feel I'm in no position to question the utility of how someone else spends their time and money.


*damnit, I did that without thinking about it!

>> ^ulysses1904:

No doubt I'm showing my age with this but is there some mantra effect that results in using the word "awesome" so much? I'm referring to the title here, nothing to do with the video (although it's awesome how many levels of awesome they can pack into one pen).

Hot dog meat...

A "border shop" is a store located close to a national border. Such shops are targeted mostly at people living on the opposite side of the border from the shop, which mostly offers products that are taxed higher and/or are illegal on the customers' side of the border. You might see this with fireworks stores across state borders in the US. For Denmark/Germany, it's all about taxes on alcohol, which is why this "supermarket" is 90% alcohol isle. Nobody goes there to buy groceries beyond maybe a couple of hot dogs to help wash down their 10 crates of Tuborg. You can see that even the flat-bottom shopping carts are designed to be piled high with beer crates, not to hold on to baby food and cleaning products. >> ^dag:

What's a bordershop?

Metal-Götter, ein Sturm, ein Hot Dog, halten Sie die Zwiebeln!
