HOLY CARP!!!

Coming home from work tonight at 10:00, I was pretty starving... because the Mike & Ike machine in the break room requested 25¢ and all I had was 21¢. So, sadly, I was forced to raid my refrigerator for corned beef and pastrami. I filled up a hot dog bun with some corned beef, downed it, but it's just not as filling as Mike & Ike's, you know? So I filled up another hot dog bun with pastrami, and that managed to fill one of my legs but left the other one quite hollow. But I didn't really feel like eating more meat after that, so I just ate two more hot dog buns without anything in them. They're actually quite tasty -- hot dog buns -- anybody else just eat them plain, or am I the only one? Seems kind of odd, which is probably why I'd do it. |

Never eaten them plain, but have used them for sandwiches other than hot dogs. They're usually a bit sweet, so they toast nicely and go well with most meats and cheeses. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

ah, but the shredded remains of a hot dog bun after one tries to spread peanut butter on it is a sad sight indeed. Poignant, even. |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

So that you can eat the left-over hot dog bun plain. |

It's a math thing. As in . . . What is the smallest number of packages of each you must buy that will give you the same number of buns and dogs? |

Lack of standards, which in the end is probably a good thing--how boring would life be if we couldn't have these type of discussions? |

You've never had the pleasure of putting two hot dogs in one bun?

You're amazing PJ - You can eat anything. I'd have that & would soak up 2 lbs due to the salt & feel it for 48 hours. To be young - Lucky you!

Check the label, they probably load it with sweetener during the manufacturing process. (high fructose corn syrup is probably the culprit). |
