F*cking Hot Dogs, how do they work?

It's as if NPR took the science desk away from Ira Flatow and gave it to Violent J with a mandate for him to uncover the principles of magnetism for NPR listeners. Memorial Day is upon us, so let's tell NPR listeners how to make hot dogs. Natural casing, grill the bun, mustard, no ketchup, etc.  Where do they get this stuff? You can listen here, and if it's not enough to make you break off a check to keep programs like this coming your way, then I'ma send Ira Glass to your house to give you an Indian rope burn. And a gratuitous picture of Betty White. Finger on the pulse, those NPR mofos. The entire thing is eerily reminiscent of Morgan Freeman's essay on tostadas.

Tangential at best, but hotdogs can be an artistic medium when you live in the outreaches of West Texas & have loads of time on your hands to make videos about artistic expression: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glL_dg22NLo&feature=email

Making a hot dog is really hard... if you're making them from scratch. I've studied Pollan's book but haven't mustered the courage to make my own. I say this summer's the time to throw down. Put these weenies in their place. Now if there were only some place to get a half decent roll in all of New England.
