So I’m peeking over at Twitter earlier tonight and, amongst the stream of consciousness that is (what many people affectionately call) the Twitterverse, I see someone post the term “the tiniest hot dog in the universe,” with a link that I won’t share, since it really went to nothing at all. But that had me wondering — the the hell is the tiniest hot dog in the universe? No, not the world — the UNIVERSE.
By the dirty smock of a franfurt toting street vendor, I had to know!
Alas … I found nothing. So now I am here, left to muse not only what this mythical culinary item might be, but why someone was making mention of it on Twitter. Bah! Who cares why it was mentioned — why wouldn’t you want to know? So, here are some possibilities:
– Scientists have found a way to suck all of the water from a typical cocktail frank, shrinking it down to the size of a pin’s head.
– It’s not a food at all. Paris Hilton just brought her rat of a pooch down to Ecuador to buy a new pair of shoes with heels made from rare South American gum trees, and he’s panting every drop of moisture from his tired, fragile frame.
– A race of tiny aliens landed and, hoping to enjoy the great American pastime of baseball, brought their own time-honored food. Incidentally, this would also turn out to be the food choice of the likes of Paris Hilton, Tori Spelling and Gabrielle Anwar.
– Verne Troyer’s finger was mistaken for food.
– Hot Dog Vendor Barbie and Anatomically Correct Ken were released on the same day.
– In an attempt to cater to the current state of the economy, The Budget Gourmet has released a cocktail wiener that is half the size of the traditional ones.
If you know, you have to tell me. My God, we all need to know!
