July Will Be Hot Dog Month

I am going to blog for the month of July. Maybe not every day, but as often as I can. I have declared July Hot Dog Month. I am going to see how many hot dogs/sausages I can eat in the month of July. Think of it like "Super Size Me" without any medical supervision.

I contacted Michael Moore about possibly collaberating on the project but I imagine that however many hot dogs I can eat in a month (30? 50?) he would be unimpressed.

Because he's fat. (Sometimes I like to drive it home)

I'm not asking you to join me, and I'm certainly not going to challenge anyone. I will not eat any more food than I normally would, I will just make a concerted effort to eat hot dogs whenever I can.

Why? Excellent question. Its not for charity (though people will do the silliest things for charity). Its clearly not for my health. I'm not making a political statement (though I may solicit your thoughts on what kind of political statement one might make by eating lots of hot dogs - that will be a future entry).

"But you didn't answer the question." Didn't I? Or did I give you the best explanation I could think of at the moment? I can see the lightbulb going on. This is what either Oprah or Mutual of Omaha (litigation pending) call an "A-Ha Moment."

The blog entries will not be limited to hot dog related entries, but I will post a running count of dogs consumed and I suspect I will comment on the variety and quality of dogs I encounter. Spoiler alert - I am a sucker for "roller dogs" at the gas station.
