[quote=SpelingError]New topic: Do you all prefer hot dogs or cheeseburgers?

My vote goes to hot dogs.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]Got a few packs of jumbo (perfect size relative to the bun) Hebrew Nationals downstairs.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]I liked hot dogs a lot as a kid, then got sick of them, as many adults do I think. Figured okay, more discerning, don't like them any more...

...then I tried all-beef hot dogs and realized what I'd grown out of is the pork/chicken hybrid hot dogs that were just cheap and ubiquitous.[/quote]

[quote=SpelingError]Yeah, I imagine. It's still pretty crazy to watch though.

Coincidentally, I also had a hot dog today.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]There's actually a lot of technique, apparently, which has evolved over the last decade or two.

Might have a hot dog or two myself today, so it's probably a good thing I didn't watch it.[/quote]

[quote=SpelingError]Also, Joey Chestnut ate 76 hotdogs in 10 minutes, setting a new world record (it was for a hot dog eating contest they have every July 4th). I don't understand how some people can do that.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]Yeah, we were worried about that because our dog's pretty hyper, but he mostly just gets very still and alert. He only barks if it happens real close while he's in the backyard (which totally happens, sometimes in the alley behind our house).

One of our cats specifically goes and hides in the closet, too. Which is pretty adorable.[/quote]

[quote=SpelingError]I always feel bad for the animals on this day since fireworks tend to spook them.[/quote]

[quote=Torgo][quote=ynwtf]Happy 4th to those it applies to. Be safe and all that.[/quote]Thanks, you too. 

This is probably my dog's least favorite day of the year. He'll be clinging to me for most of the evening, I imagine.[/quote]

[quote=SpelingError][quote=Allaby]Altered States is fantastic.[/quote]
I agree. It's a really good horror film.[/quote]
