QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) I can not stand people at the park, or anywhere for that matter, who say s*** to me when I put ketchup on my hot dog. Ya know what.. stfu and mind your own damn business. You just want to be surrounded by a bunch of enanblers who will sit by and don't say anything while they watch your self-destructive hotdog-abusing behavior, don't you?

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 10:13 AM) The website is a reference from fight club about how we should just allow pandas to go extinct if they won't at least attempt to screw in order to save their species. Hey! I thought we weren't supposed to talk about Fight Club!?!

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 11:58 AM) And, to dork up this thread. The reason smell is such a powerful emotional sense is because the receptors responsible for olfaction (glomerii, spelled wrong probably, but I can pronoune it correctly!) go directly into the brain without first being relayed through the thalamas (as in the other senses). HOW THICK are your glasses? Cool stuff.

Way to land one!

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 11:12 AM) Nah, Sparking Goji's aren't all that rare. You can find them from any colector really. Cool toys though...for obvious reasons. If you don't name your next band "Sparking Gojis" there is no justice in the world. Oh, no! There goes Tokyo!

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 11:05 AM) So the fries are just a garnish? I don't get where this idea that the onions are exclusive to The Cell came from. Over at "the other place" you can get a dog with grilled onions also. They look the same, and smell the same. The difference is that the dog is a Hebrew National (NY made) and at The Cell they are Best (Chicago made). But the presentation is exactly the same. So why do we think ours is "exclusive"??? Did one of the parks used to sell David Bergs? Those are the Aurora IL-made kosher dogs of choice (I like them better than hebrew national), and they were the ones we sold at Soldiers' when I used to work the Bears games. The David Bergs also have the supposed distinction of being the first hot dogs sold at a major league ballpark, back in 1901, but that is a matter of debate. Whether they called them hotdogs or not, frankfurter and Vienna-style sausages were sold at ballgames before that time.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 09:57 AM) i had this godzilla toy and it would smoke somehow and it would come out of his mouth, it had this weird burning smell to it. Should have held on to that – I bet Gleason would pay you good money for it. Favorite childhood smell for me is a snowy winter day – wierd I know because I moved to escape the cold. There's just something suprasensory about the cold dryness of the air and the smell of clean snow that fell the night before, mingled in with the smell of woodfires coming from the chimneys of the houses. Add the smell of hot cider or cocoa that you'd come in to back home and it's as close to being in a Dickens novel as a kid growing up in Chicago is going to get. (No Dickens' Cider jokes, please)

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 07:54 AM) That looks really cool. Now I just need to get my friends to try it. That loks really cool. Now I just need to get friends.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 11:47 PM) Tako brace moj! Ziveli! Why do I get the felling that you are either part Serbian or you have a lot of Serbian friends??? I have some Slavic and Baltic friends back home, but nope, that's just some Wikipedia from Flaxx the GoogleMonkey.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 11:45 PM) Yeah you're SOOO cultured. :rolly Me and my Wikipedia.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 11:37 PM) I see. We Chicagoans take pride in our food and even though your in Florida, I trust your opinion. Other than the fact that I don't like mustard, onions, tomatos, peppers. and salt, I'd eat it. Ah, but I do miss the City of Big Food. In the meantime, let me work on the recipe for a Serb Dog and I'll get back to you. živeli!

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 11:14 PM) Haha, communists. But seriously, why is ketchup shunned more than the Cubs here on SoxTalk? Milkman probably has it figured out. Both of my younglings still feel the need to gross me out with ketchup on their dogs. But, if we are talking about the heavenly aspects of the CHICAGO DOG, there is no place for ketchup in the discussion. A 100% authentic CHICAGO DOG consists of: - Vienna Beef dog - POPPY SEED bun (preferably Mary Anne brand), steamed - mustard (yellow) - scary bright nuclear green relish of unknown origin -chopped onions - tomato slices (2 or 3) - whole hot peppers (sport peppers) (2) - a Kosher pickle spear placed longways, paralell to the dog and bun (a cucumber spear is acceptable here as well) - celery salt And that is it. Nothing else is allowed or needed, and any substitutions or deletions makes it not a CHICAGO DOG.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 11:08 PM) I do live 15 minutes from the Cell and I see many people eat hot dogs with ketchup there.... They're all Communists.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 04:40 PM) They had plenty of time to correct that decision. The next logical time would of been to move to it when they moved to the powerpc architecture, and then again when they moved to OSX. But Jobs likes to keep things internal and didnt want to risk his "valuable" MAC business by opening it up to hardware competition. Biggest f*** up in personal computing was Xerox and PARC. How many technologies came out of there and Xerox didnt see any real money? How many billions of dollars would be stuffed in their pockets right now if they had just kept these ideas in house. Agreed on PARC's missed opportunities for financial gain, but being the Apple devote' I am, i can't complain. As for the processors, I think the .030 and .040 were certainly technically superior to the Intel offerings at the time, and rather it comes down to them being stuck without a large volume source of a universal chip. I think the risc-based PowerPC chips were again really advanced technologically, but the problems involved with ramping up production of those were monumental.

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 04:41 PM) I'd say Dogs, but not cuz of the dogs, but because of the "Salad on a Bun." I still get into arguments with my fiancee about putting ketchup on a hot dog. It just can't be done. And celery salt, if available, is a must. Pizza is marketing...beef is everywhere Italians are. JUST SAY NO TO KETCHUP ON HOTDOGS!!! That is a first degree food felony.
