Esch, I normally toe the line with you on all things fuckery but we are at odds here. I would have murdered a dude for one of those hotdog toasters in college.

Real talk, do those toasters work as well and simply as their design implies? Cuz I could get down on quick and easy toasted dogs

I would see shit I would want on a lark, but never enough to pay their outrageous prices for said goods.  I always imagined their customers were the 1 out of a hundred foolish rich people who compulsively bought anything that caught their attention.

also, me feel old for posting this PA from ten years ago.  I didn't realize it/me was that old.  Damn memory for useless blather.

You have to eat hot dogs all the time for that to be worth it. If you're not going through a pack of hot dogs at least every two weeks, it's probably not a good investment.

He said when he was in college. I remember cooking hot dogs and ramen at the same time because I was lazy in finals week. It was great.

Yeah, fuck that hot dog toaster. I totally want one of those hot dog roller cookers, though. It's on my "when I win the lottery" list.

I don't know anyone who actually bought something from SkyMall.

if i had infinite dollars I would build a vast kitchen with an entire counter-wall space dedicated to hot dog cookers, popcorn stands that make way too much popcorn, donut rollers, automated sausage egg and muffin makers, you name it.

I actually have a roller hot dog cooker somewhere in storage. I got it for like 20 bucks at a clearance sale when a local discount store went under....they use to have fire hot dogs though.

I'll have to see if I can dig it up.

So you'd do Brian Wilson type interior decorating then.
