MILWAUKEE - It's the most famous motorized sausage in the nation, but even the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile can't drive on a restricted road next to the Pentagon.

The crew of the 27-foot-long hot dog on wheels got grilled by police when it mistakenly traveled on a road closed to commercial traffic.

Too bad Oscar Meyers Wieners suck. Tobin's first prize with skin are the best.

I don't think they'd have to worry about the Wienermobile being a terrorist unless it was the all-beef Wienermobile...

[Hoosier Patriot]

At the Wienermobile wheel were Will Keller and Paula Pendleton, both 22 and recent college graduates from Illinois and California, who had just finished the two-week-long Hot Dog High at Oscar Mayer headquarters in Madison.

Ah HA! I just knew that drugs somehow played a role in this.

I dunno. What better way to be completly inconspicuous in traffic than to hijaak the Weiner Mobile. It's a post-modern kitsch trojan horse paradigm thing.

Bot many times have we seen it happen exactly this way? One minute they're passing out weiner whistles, the next careening headlong through the gates at the Pentagon... Look at all the destruction the marshmallow man did in Ghostbusters, and he was a symbol of goodness and purity! I don't know that hotdogs are a symbol of goodness and purity, but it could happen!

Maybe they should frisk Al Gore on more time for good measure...

Is that Timothy Leary in the chefs garb? And notice that they show only one side of the wienermobile, because the other side is painted from front to back with psychodelia! {;-)

Nope. Those of us in upstate NY know that Hoffman's (in CNY) and Sahlen's (in WNY) are the best in the world. ;)

This is hillarious! In a town where some of the biggest wieners in the world hold public office and other positions of power, their best known icon gets hassled by the cops.

Ya gotta love it! (with extra mustard and kraut;~)

[tom paine 2]

Usngers in Wisconsins is the best.

[babylonian]

I'd sure love to see 'em drive the weinermobile up to airport security at LAX!

As Art Bell Says..Wanna Take A Ride !!!

"Is that a weiner on your car, or are you just happy to see me?"

[kaylar]

When my dogs have to be taken en masse to the vet for their checkups, shots, toenail clippings, et al, my car is a weinermobile! I have three dachshunds-get it ; get it ?!? Dachshunds, weiner mobile ???

(I apologize for that joke. I just couldn't stop myself.)

"One minute they're passing out weiner whistles..."

I grew up a few miles from where the first Weinermobile was headquartered, I remember meeting Little Oscar. I once scammed an entire box of those whistle thingies and gave them all out at school. They ended up being recalled and banned in the early 70's when some doofus kid swallowed one and choked on it. They're probably worth at leasst five bucks apiece at the flea markets nowadays.

Originally from Connectthedots, I would go for a Hummels with skin...way fewer rat hairs.

Thpththphtthtb. Rat hair makes the dog, I always say ;)

[general_re]

Maybe, but I wouldn't know - whenever I find myself in Wisconsin, I skip the dogs and head straight for the bratwurst ;)

[nothingnew]

Thpththphtthtb.

BEWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!...I've been trying to spell that all my life!....I just did your spelling with the tounge&cheek, and spit on my wife!....It works perfectly!...Thanks!...Thpththphtthtb!(kind of reminds me of "Bill the Cat!)

Was Ashleigh Banfield chasing the truck yelling "Oh, Mr. Hot Dog Man....Mr. Hot Dog Man". I saw her do this on TV months ago and for the life of me I can't remember what she was doing. I do remember Imus having a FIELD day anput it!!

[general_re]

LOL - well, apologize to your wife for me. You have to imagine the hands waggling with the thumbs behind the ears for the proper effect ;)
