Yo
Exhibit A: The Corn Dog.
I may explain what this means later. For now its purpose is to make you keep reading this otherwise dull and uniformative BlogPlan. (I'm confused about which term to use, so using them both).
So...been about two and a half years since my last BlogPlan update. I guess some stuff has changed. At last gasp, I was working majority time for a web dev company in South San Francisco. But then BraveTree offered me a position at their company (and I thought I was the one smoking crack), so I quit my job, moved all my crap to Eugene and started working with them folks on their various nefarious projects.
My first project was the critically acclaimed ThinkTanks Xbox, which I started working on around July 2004 and we finished sometime in May 2005, about 2-3 months longer than expected. After that, I had planned to work on the long awaited ThinkTanks 2 for PC, but we were acquired by GarageGames so priorities shifted around. Thus, I'm currently working on a Top Secret project for a certain next generation console (hint: its name rhymes with "xbox three sixty"). Its so secret that if I told you about it, killing you wouldn't be enough. I'd have to collect your remains and transport them to the nearest black hole so that they could be blasted into a parallel universe. Obviously that would be a big pain for me (and you) so I think I'll keep my mouth shut about that.
My sole interaction with the forums recently has been clicking on the "Mark as Read" button. What can I say, I'm an obsessive compulsive type so when I'm at work the immediate priorities (aforementioned secret project) tend to consume most of my time; that is, when I'm not slacking off. Who knows, this may be my last plan update for another 2.5 years (save the applause until the end please).
Oh yeah, about that corn dog. Well, we have many deeply intellectual discussions at GarageGames, and a few weeks ago one came up concerning whether the corn dog is a popular food item on the east coast of the U.S. Having grown up there and never eaten a corn dog in my youth, I took the negative stance, but Steven Zepp, also an east coaster, informed me that they once were an important part of his diet. I supported my claim by alleging that Citizen's Bank ballpark in Philadelphia does not serve corn dogs, something that I pretty much made up, but may actually be true in fact. Alas, since I've been vegetarian for a few years, the corn dog experience is probably one I'll never have, but rest assured that if I ever get a taste for the flesh again, its on the top of my list of meaty things to consume.
Uh, I think I'll kill this BlogPlan before it gets even weirder. Have nice day.

Must be the PS3!
The picture is also the first time I ever recall seeing a "corn dog". I presume that's what you get if a hot dog goes and levels up for a while?

Kinda. The corn is like +5 armor, as you can see... Still doesn't protect it against teeth though, so I don't know why it goes through the trouble.

This was probably the best way I've ever started my morning. Ever.
That is all.

@ Canon - Oh yeah! In the southern states its one of the best things to get at the State (or County) Fairs. Freshly cooked, covered in mustard and followed with a beer or two.
In the name of health though, I don't eat either of the above very often - my Doctor would probably beat me senseless with my cholesterol report. =)
Good BlogPlan, John!

I'm not sure, but I think that yellow stuff around the hot dog is deep-fried corn bread. It remains a mystery to me, much like the flavor of deep-fried candy bars, twinkies, and poo.
See, the problem with some knowledge is that it is Extremely Difficult to UNlearn it. Vast quantities of alcohol or THC are required over a prolonged period of time. As neither of these techniques are particularly precise, the collateral damage is often almost as bad as the damage from the information you were trying to expunge.
There's also the whole "severe concussion" thing, but it is similarly non-specific.
So you see, corn dogs are obviously instruments of Satan, sent to tempt us into heavy drinking, drug use, or self mutiliation. Resist him my friends! Resist!
Whoops! So that's where my meds went...

I'm down to zero subscribed forums and I only read plans with pictures. Nice corndog. :)
| Charlie Malbaurn (Aug 17, 2005 at 19:23 GMT) |
And yes, we are big on corn dogs. Probably because it costs like 5 dollars for a box of a thousand
Edit:
On a side note: The corn dogs greatest asset is its thick covering of corny goodness.
That and that fact that it's pretty easy to wipe off if you drop it in the dirt

PS: Corndogs are okay. Not nearly as good as a bageldog.

There are some great vegitarian Corndogs that you can find in just about any grocery store freezer section....

Morningstar Farms makes some amazing veggie corn dogs. You'd never tell the difference. You should try them and settle this silly argument.

John - I hope we don't have to wait another 2 years, six months and 2 days for our next tasty tid bit.
