If it were, it would be wrapped in a Pillsbury crescent roll.

Just had to comment to raise the hits on the superbly cheesey subject line. A+

This is a thread that is read with relish.

I think that since Posey took the time to come up with such a great thread title, we should make sure to post with our minds in the gutter.

I saw this article first thing this morning and really thought it would pop in some of KG's postings. It sounds like a KG kind of topic.

Thanks for posting the pics. I kind of have the smiley thing down, but haven't attempted putting pics directly in a post yet.

Contrary to popular opinion, I do not sit on my butt cruising the Internet all day, looking for weird stuff to post on Chef Success.Most of the day, butt not all of it.

Oh, but you quickly had a lot to add to the topic, didn't you?

Google is your friend.Besides, the Weinermobile is local legend. Even though Oscar Meyer is located in the People's Republic of Madison, about 90 miles west of here, at least one or two generations of Weinermobile were designed and built by Brooks Stevens. Mr. Stevens was a legendary industrial designer who made major breakthroughs in many places. When confronted with the brand new clothes dryer that wasn't selling, he added the glass window to the dryer so people could watch their clothes tumbling and sales skyrocketed overnight. He designed The Milwaukee Road's stunning Hiawatha passenger train. In the automotive world, he made some radical designes for Studebaker that might have saved the company if they had been implemented in time. (One of his ideas was a sliding sunroof over the cargo area of the Studebaker station wagon, a design that finally made it to market in the form of a GM SUV last year.) He also designed a four door sedan where the left front door was identical to the right rear and the right front was identical to the left rear cutting production costs in half. He also designed the Excaliber, which his sons built in West Allis, Wisconsin for many years. His idea for the Weinermobile was to build it on a Chevrolet van chassis, which was used until the Mini version.

(Pssst! We already used that one about four posts ago.)This thread is going to turn into a condiment development.

Hmm...now where did I put my weiner whistle???

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Where did you put your MSOE logo pin?Brooks Stevens designed that, too, along with the Miller Soft Cross, the Lawn Boy lawnmower and the Evinrude Lark runabout.

I still have that! Couldn't even get rid of it!

I have the 90th anniversary pin too.

I didn't know he designed that logo.

I also have my MSOE letter jacket.

MSOE = Milwaukee School of Engineering

THAT's what I was wondering...

Thanks!

 

[janetupnorth]

THAT's what I was wondering...Thanks!

My alma mater...well, one of them...my favorite one...Also the Kat Lady's alma mater if I remember right and the "young'n's" (as KG put it).

Stupid filtering software at work won't let me open this... apparently viewing the Sienfeld episode is not considered necessary to my work day.

Is this the one where he has been swimming and talks about the "frightened turtle"? One of my favorite episodes!

You don't need to watch a scene you have memorized.

[PurpleAngel]

funny......

 

[baychef]

Ann, you crack me up!! Yes, if they had made it a Ball Park mobile, it wouldn't shrink.
(Let the record show that I did NOT make a gutter minded post...YET!!! I, being the vile, filthy minded, potty mouthed "Ann" of the bunch...has shown GREAT restraint from participating in such fodder! However, I can not be responsible for future posts on this thread to be G rated!! )

I had a pet frog named Evinrude...

Why how Gouda of you to compliment me!

I loved that episode (although I didn't have it memorized like Katie).

KG, you remind me of Wilson from Home Improvement. The guy over the fence with all the knowledge, but we never get to see your face. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has thought that.

wow...i thought i was alone in that one...speaking of wilson, he also reminds me of mister wilson

 

[pamperedposey]

I don't think KG is grumpy enough for the part of Mr Wilson. I tried to find a YouTube clip of the old Mr Wilson...I don't recommend it. It's been edited with lots of potty mouth language.


Ok, so some you you have already left to go look it up. I know how you are!

 

[baychef]

It's a coc*tail weinermobile!!

If they put liquid Viagra in the tank, would it be as big and shiney as the 1952 Weiner (mobile)?? Would you be able to drive it longer (pun intended)? And if you drove longer than 4 hours would need to see a doctor? (or in KG's case...call and brag to your friends!!)

Sorry (well not really) I just can't help myself!!!

If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.

Better to be thought of as Wilson, or even Mr. Wilson, than Cliff Claven.

No one has ever related you to Cliff have they? I agree that even Mr Wilson would even be a better comparison than that.

My smiley needs to slow down before he bursts!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Well, it's a little known fact that...HEY!

 

[elizabethfox]

LOL...you guys crack me up. I knew I would get a laugh from reading this post!

 

[lkprescott]

Aww... the weinermobile is shrinking....

What's crazy is when I started researching bento lunches, I kept coming across something called weiner cutters, I kid you not.

Turns out they're these little contraptions that put strategic cuts into hot dogs so when they're cooked they shrivel and turn into an intended shape... like a tulip... or an octopus or crab... yes, strange but would you expect anything less from Japan? LOL

Someone has too much time (and I left off..."on their hands" for a purpose!)

 

[lkprescott]

Yeah... I bought a lot of things to start making bentos for the kids but I drew the line at the wiener cutters. LOL...

The product will be introduced in America as the Bar-b-que Bris.

 

[lkprescott]

Yeah.. okay I'm definitely not going the wiener cutter way of bento.. I'll stick with the other goodies out there. LOL...

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Well, hot dog!
