Author Topic: There is a new " Weenie Man..." Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 07-04-2004 06:24 PM                     http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5364916/ SKobayashi, of Nagano, Japan, gulped down 53½ wieners in 12 minutes and shattered his own world record by three dogs. In 2002, he had wolfed down 50½.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-04-2004 06:31 PM                  As a BIG weenie lover, I can attest that Nathan's hotdogs are the best followed by Farmer John's hot dogs. NONE of that all-beef crap for me! Give me the scraps and bone-scrapings for a REAL hot dog! YUM! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

Paul, you will always be the Weenie Man around here!  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 07-04-2004 08:05 PM                    The man makes a fine dog but Nathan's true gift was keeping steam locomotives dripping with oil. Remind anyone of a Simplex E7? (It's a mechanical lubricator...the lever is connected to the mechanism and it would send oil out those small tubes to various wearing surfaces and, most importantly, into the steam headed for the cylinders keeping them and the valves lubricated.) Phil, we knew you loved weiners. Just didn't know you liked hot dogs, too!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-04-2004 08:11 PM                  quote: Steve Kraus Remind anyone of a Simplex E7? Not really, Steve. But more like those old steam engines that were used on those OLD ships that Paul was talking about. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 07-04-2004 08:31 PM                     HEBREW NATIONAL....WE ANSWER TO A HIGHER SOURCE! - or ALL BEEF w/NATURAL CASINGS! AND NO DISGUSTING REMARKS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY...AND THAT MEANS YOU...PHIL! One problem Steve...E-7s use Bijur, whil Steam locos generally use Nathan! But ya, it does look similar to the E-7...and btw, the E-7 fittings are in fact check-valves!  |  IP: Logged William T.

I heard one just a few hours ago. It's haunting. Do I want to know what a "natural casing" is? Hmmmm...maybe not.  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 07-04-2004 10:55 PM                     OK, so here is a small drift off the subject. Speaking of who made what, did you guys know that Adolphus Busch (yes, the same Busch from Anheuser Busch Company, makers of Budweiser beer eventually became partners with Eberhard Anheuser was a leading Diesel Engine manufacturing plant?) He even had Dr. Rudolph Diesel as a consultant. The Diesel Engine came to America in 1897, when Adolphus Busch obtained the American rights to build Diesels. The first Diesel Engine built by his company was installed in the Anheuser-Busch power plant in 1898. http://ussubvetsofworldwarii.org/Diesel_Engines.html http://www.derbysulzers.com/sulzerengine.html http://www.didyouknow.cd/anheuser.htm Steve, I don't know if you have seen these links, but they are interesting. Maybe their idea was to use beer as a fuel.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 07-05-2004 10:01 AM                    Yeah, I know a bit about the Busch / Diesel connection as Kirkland discusses it in Dawn of the Diesel Age. Refrigeration compressors and engines are closely related mechanical technologies. John F. Kirkland was a former Baldwin man who wrote the three volume Diesel Builders series about ALCO/GE (& MLW), Lima & Fairbanks-Morse, and then Baldwin. Sadly, he is no longer with us so someone else will need to write a detailed history of EMC/EMD. Going off off off topic (yet closer to show biz) the reason I snapped pictures of a few lubricators was I wanted pictures of both the Nathan and Detroit brands so I could juxtapose them into "Nathan Detroit" for a friend who loves Guys and Dolls. I keep teasing her about the main character being named after lubricators.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-05-2004 10:58 AM                       The best hot dogs on Earth were at a place in Lexington, KY called GARO'S, back in the late 70s. The owner sold out and retired sometime around 1988, and the hot dogs were never the same after that. Then, I had Nathan's. Man-oh-man! Not quite as good as Garo's, but a damned close second... damned close! Nathan's is now Tim Reed's official hot dog, a lofty honor that went unawared for many years.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Stricker Master Film Handler Posts: 481 From: Calumet, Mi USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 07-05-2004 03:24 PM                     I'm thinking Angelo's Coney Island in Flint, Michigan. They are slathered with tons of diced onions and Coney sauce. Anybody else ever try one? Much better than a Nathan's IMHO.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!
