(Keenesburg, Co.) - Flora Zimbelman says it all started 54 years ago when she put an uncooked hot dog in her sisters suitcase.
"I dont know what made me do it. The devil I guess," she said.
Floras sister, Rose, found the hot dog when she opened the suitcase back up in Idaho, where she lived at the time.
"She mailed it back to me telling me to keep my garbage at home," said Flora.
The game was on.
In the years that followed, Flora would find a way to sneak the hot dog back into Rose's life. And Rose would find another way to sneak it back to Flora.
"I found it under my pillow once, I found it in between the drapes and once I found it in the kitchen drawer," said Flora.
Flora still has that hot dog. It looks just about as disgusting as you might expect.
Yet, earlier this year, Flora's sister, best friend, and victim of her continuous pranks, lost her battle with cancer.
Flora says she misses her friend, and even though its difficult to look at, shell still show you the hot dog and tell you the story behind it.
LOL I agree.
Yes, I wondered that -- and I think this means that Rose won.
Well, it looks pretty good for a 54-year-old hot dog. And who knows what they were using to preserve them back then.
And consider it stolen! :)
eeeeewwwww!
Just too weird! LOL
ROFLMAO!
My husband, who is from PA originally, has seen the Weinermobile SEVERAL times in my area, where I have lived all my life (well, except 2 year some time ago)! He even saw it during our dating! I think 2x literally within miles range, and once in DC! And I'M the 1 who LOVES Weiners, the best hot dog, period! Wwaaaah!
Yea, like I didn't steal it also... As if you assume I am creative enough to come up with something like that by myself.... ;)
Well, let's see...a thief stole it from a thief...it makes it all right then!
My siblings and I have been playing a similar game for the past 20 years, although not with a hot dog. One of them found this unlikely decorative...thing...at a tag sale. Its a lucite cube with a fake rose inside. Plug it in and wind it up, and the rose slowly spins and lights up with multi-colored fiber-optics, while "To Dream the Impossible Dream" plays on its internal, infernal music box. Damndest thing you ever saw. Whoever receives it as a secret gift at Christmas MUST display it in a prominent place in their home for the next year (or at least when one of the other siblings comes to visit). The recipient is also teased unmercifully by siblings, spouses and children. Hey, it may be ridiculous, but it keeps us laughing, and adds some suspense to Christmas.
There's always hope 8-)
lolz
Hey, at least we are not the ones playing hide the weiner.
That funny! My husbands office has an old bagel thats been going around for about 10 years now.
I will let you know, I just barfed a little.
