Of course, I would never indulge in keyword abuse. (Puts on innocent look, walks away whistling)

I was surprised the Levin thread hadn’t stumbled across this one. Did Levin mention it tonite? Seems it would be ready made for his feud with Doc Savage!

My roommate’s girlfriend is a former Oscar Mayer Weinermobile driver. The driver is hired specifically to drive it around and go to events and so forth. The fact that she is cute only adds to the joke making and hilarity.

I saw the Wienermobile in Downers Grove, Illinois yesterday (Friday, August 11) at lunch time. It was parked only a few yards away from the
Portillos on Butterfield Road!
Being the citizen journalist that I am, I quickly brought out my Nokia 6120 camera-phone, and snapped a few pictures of the giant hot dog roasting in the noon day sun...
