Now I've Seen Everything
There are 2 half naked women from PETA protesting the hot dog stand outside my office window. They're giving away free veggie dogs. The veggie dogs looked pretty good, but I don't think that's why the line is so long....
It would be more appropriate - in a visual sense - to have 2 naked men protesting. Is the hotdog vendor a man? Because I'm pretty sure he's more amused than angry.
There's a joke somewhere in there: "My hotdog is ALL meat, baby."
It's that same kind of creepy feeling I get when the high school girls wear their bikini tops and advertise car washes. Who do you think is lining up to get their cars washed? Icky.
The last time I heard about a naked PETA demonstration in my town, it was from my dad, who sounded way too gleeful about having witnessed it. Oh, and the women in that case were topless.
The power of suggestion: I had a meeting and hadn't had lunch yet, and I immediately walked to the fridge and made myself a hot dog because of your post. It was not veggie, however, and I am wearing all my clothes.
Syd - Baaahaaaa! Snort! I think I love you for that comment!
I'm suuuure the line was so long because of the free dogs...
Sunshine - I'm glad you're wearing all of your clothes. If you feel the urge to leave the house wearing lettuce, please seek professional help immediately.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For going down and taking a picture. You are so FUNNY! And those two are not selling me on the vegetarian lifestyle. That blonde girl is scary pale.
Julie - I made no comment about the blindingly harsh glare emanating from the blond. But, dude, seriously? Camera for the friggin back seat? And I though I was lazy and/or paranoid.
Mrs. Chicken - I certainly hope not! That might ruin reading for me. It's bad enough that I'll never be able to walk past that hot dog stand again without having lettuce flashbacks.
Sprite - I wish Norfolk, VA was really this exciting. A camera crew from Channel 3 news showed up after I posted this. I'm sure it will be the lead story.
Ow, my sides hurt from laughing! I used to live in Ghent and drove past the PETA offices quite often. They are a little too posh with their fancy building on the water. Guess that means they have enough money to spend on Victoria's Secret outfits for their protesters.
Um... I love animals and all... but doesn't your protest of exploiting animals sort of lose something when you EXPLOIT HUMAN WOMEN in the process? Oy vay... I'm all for saving animals, but somebody save these girls from themselves first!
I'm getting really sick of having to moderate comments because of the damn spammers. If you put spam in my comments I will zealously delete you. And then I will sick the CIA on you. (You don't know that I can't do it, do you?)

ReplyDeleteIs the hotdog vendor a man? Because I'm pretty sure he's more amused than angry.
AD - He's a 20 year old MALE college student. He's lovin' it. I went down to ask.
ReplyDeleteAnd take pictures, of course. How could I *not* blog this?
Holy hot dogs. They are dressed very, well, naked-looking!
ReplyDeleteAre those cabbage leaves on their boobs?

they look pretty good, those veggies dogs.
ReplyDeleteHm. I think I'll have a salad.
ReplyDeleteWhy... ahem... do you think the line IS so long?
ReplyDeleteWell, I like women, but that blond almost makes me straight. Never thought I say this, but give me a real beef wiener.
ReplyDeleteThe problem I have with your post today is now I have to figure out how to work in taking my sick two yo with me to get a Chicago style hot dog.
ReplyDeleteBecause all of a sudden I really, really want one!
Have a great weekend :)

ReplyDelete*sigh* Your city is SO much cooler than mine.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I think I love you for going down there and taking pictures and talking to the hot-dog guy. hahahaha.
Just another reason to wear fur.
ReplyDeleteIt's cause the veggie dogs are free, isn't it?

Dudes! You are SO HARSH on the pigmentally-challenged.
ReplyDeleteLm, WOW, that's like crazy weird LOL!
Thanks for sharing. I think the "baby monitor camera for the backseat with dashboard-mounted display screen" is the weirdest thing I've seen today.

At least I'm not subjected to THAT at the library!
ReplyDelete*guffaw*
Oh, bless you for taking this picture! It is too funny!
ReplyDeleteI wish Wisconsin was this funny... we're usually too cold to go out in anything less than a parka!

I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I clicked out of my reader just to see if you had a picture up.
ReplyDeleteThey could use a couple of meat hot dogs to fatten them up!
ReplyDeletewell that settles it, I can't support Peta because they take advantage of women
ReplyDelete;)
Their meat ain't for eatin' -- it's on display!
ReplyDeleteBetter half naked than burning a building or something.
ReplyDeleteI have to admire their style.

ReplyDeleteNo way!! What a story!
ReplyDeleteThat's way more exciting than what's outside my window!
