discussing the engineering reasons why they were forced to shape it like a penis.

On the subject of space billionaires, I recently got into a discussion about this launch and ended up telling someone that "Even a drug-soaked wastrel like Richard Branson looks heroic next to a mile-wide asshole like Bezos."

For those waiting to see if they have been selected to go into space , the hot dog is checking his mail and over his shoulder you can see it says

Congratulations, you may already be a wiener!

That is hilarious! The original Wienermobile was a fixture in the part of Wisconsin I grew up in, as was the Oscar Mayer plant on the east side of Madison (which was considered the "working people's" side of town, as opposed to the west side where the university professors and many of the other professionals lived...except for Maple Bluff, on the east side of Lake Mendota, a suburb which stubbornly refused to incorporate into the city, where the creme de la creme lived--including one Oscar Mayer Jr., who ran the plant). "Little Oscar", who was as much a part of the Wienermobile as the song about it, was a real person, a little person who traveled about with the vehicle and gave out samples and souvenirs including toys like the "wiener whistle", a little plastic whistle in the shape of--well, you get the idea.

The Oscar Mayer plant is gone now, along with most of the other manufacturing plants that gave life to the east side of Madison--Gisholt Machine was the first to go, in the mid-1960s, and slowly the other big employers went: Ray-O-Vac, Ohio Medical, and finally Oscar Mayer. I think that was around 2000. I don't know what people do in Madison now who don't work for the university the state, or one of the healthcare concerns.

When he stepped out wearing a cowboy hat and an "astronaut's" uniform is was a rare look at mocking 2 American Icons at the same time.

The Wrong Stuff.

Many years ago, the Wienermobile was visiting a supermarket in Fayetteville the day before Thanksgiving. I approached the very cute young lady who was driving it and asked…

“Are you here to introduce the new Oscar Mayer turkey frank?”

No lie: it took her five minutes to stop laughing.
