Why don't any major fast food joints serve hot dogs ?

There's Dairy Queen, and I hear Burger King does... but I don't go to Burger King.

Good question why they're not more common. Maybe historically street vendors sold hot dogs and fast food joints wanted to sell something you couldn't get from a cart?

They have all sorts of Freudian food on a rotisserie at every 7/11

There use to be, or maybe there still is, a chain of fast food places, where I use to live, many years ago called Wienerschnitzel. They served hot dogs. What they did not serve was wiener schnitzel, which my late father found out, when he asked for it one day.

All right, sitting here in the theater waiting for the play to begin, and I was so daft I ate a peanut butter cracker right before we walked in and that sucker is stuck halfway down, and shows every sign of staying put there til I can get up and get a drink at intermission. I should add that to things I hate.

So my new novel is an alternative history in which Alexander Hamilton survives the duel and goes on to run for President.
But I've hit a conundrum in Chapter Five . . . I keep wanting to use this line, even though I know I shouldn't:

"My name is Thomas Jefferson.  You killed my Vice President.  Prepare to die!"
"I shall smite you in the nostrils with a rod of iron, and wax your spleen with Efferdent!!"

I once believed that radioland was a magical place where people with no talent could make money by talking into a microphone and pushing a few buttons...
I was half right; It's actually much more shallow than that.

I like it when we go to war with a country whose people are prepared to die for it.

I am also prepared for them to die for their country. Seems a much better idea than copping my whack (if you don't know what that means, google Billy Connelly, Cop Yer Whack) for my country.

I kinda hold out hope for Carl Sandburg's little line in The People, Yes: "You know what I know? Someday they're going to give a war and nobody will come."

If we'd settle international disputes with tennis matches instead, I bet I could at least carve out a duchy someplace.

Wouldn't you rather go to war with a country of cowards who would surrender immediately without a shot fired? Like the French?

Look up the French resistance in ww2.

Couldn't find the old How's The Weather thread from 2008, so to put our present weather into a single word: it's exceedingly strange, even for a region of odd weather that's prone to quick changes.

Yes, one word.

It must be neat in some ways to live in a place where the weather changes less often than Trevor's underwear: you know, whole seasons of the same? But I do like our variety, snow and colored leaves and tornado watches in the same afternoon.

Anyway, according to the Great and Powerful Oz of the National Weather Service, a Dense Fog Advisory was issued last night, and there was no fog, and today they're saying we're either going to have six inches of snow, four to six inches of snow, two inches of snow, freezing rain, or slush, or just rain.

Or heck maybe Skittles and unicorns will fall from the sky!

I love how precise modern weather forecasts have become.

There are no words or combination of words n the English language that can even come close   to adequately describing the incredible stench of a cat's post can of tuna and cheese food fart.

H. P.  Lovecraft came closest I think,  but then again he was a cat  person so maybe that inspired a lot of his work about  "eldritch horrors" and "indescribable foulness"
