    That cart is adorable. How do you make hotdogs if you don't have a grill?
    They're cooked in water. According to the reviews on the 'dogs, cooking them in water is the only way to get rid of the "extra salt" in them. I don't think they're salty....

    Do you ever migrate to Georgia?
    Yup. Set up every Saturday at the Races in Toccoa.

    "Why does Mexican music sound like polka?"


    'Cause it is polka. It's Tejano music which was influenced by the large Rio-Grande German population, which has been there almost 200 years. That's where they get the accordion and even tuba playing in Tejano music.

    To tell you the truth, I kinda dig that kids like to listen to that kind of music. It's so different from the top 40 stuff.

    But I grew up on German polka, as Dad is a Kapellmeister and a horn player in a small beer-hall combo.

    And my coworkers play polka music in the stockroom all the time.
    VERY HELPFUL INFORMATION. I had to ask Mom about it, since she's smarter than me (READ: Read more books) and she and Dad both said "Polka is polka the world around."

    I wouldn't know, as I don't listen to polka (Bad German, I am). I listen to EuroPop, Miyavi, Oomph, and Bloom06/Eiffel65.

    Pre-cooked bacon? You don't have to grill that. Then again... Pre-cooked bacon vs Traditional bacon

    Regarding the burger obsession... when I worked in the pizza place, we'd get some people ask us for burgers. Never tacos, tho. O.o Good thing too, or I might have been tempted to clock them one with the pizza slice.
    Precooked bacon is disturbing to me. But I won't really judge, seeing as I haven't had it yet.

      I listen to a lot of Jpop & Jrock. And Eurobeat. ^_^

      Lately I've been gravitating toward m.o.v.e., High & Mighty Color, Aural Vampire, and other randomness.

        Next time I'm in Kingsville, I'm going to make a detour and find your cart and ask for tacos.

        I'll bring some bacon cookies to distract you while I get away.

              I was lucky & got to see HIGH & MIGHTY COLOR with Mākii when they played at Anime Central in 2007. I was standing in front of the stage right in the middle... it was awesome! *happy dance*

                That's because, like the rest of us, you grew up with too much salt in everything.

                And don't worry about not listening to polka. That's what wedding receptions are for.

                  But I like salt. I can suck the seawater (and make horrid faces, but I can still do it, thanks to my iron stomach). Mom hates hotdogs and even she says they don't taste salty cooked in the water.

                  Chicken dance. Now.

                    Nah.... the green with envy would be saying that I was backstage for the m.o.v.e. concert at last year's Anime Central. But that was for part of my job....

                    This upcoming acen, I'm bummed because I won't get to see Aural Vampire. Different subdepartment, so now I'll be doing dispatch rather than being assigned to the guests. *pout*

                      Hate you. LOTS. <LOVES m.o.v.e.>



                      Only group I've been up close and personal with at a con after a concert is Phantasmagoria. I listen to a lot of JRock & JPop, but don't have a lot of opportunities to go to concerts or Cons. Sad Lupo.

                        Yuri & Motsu were awesome... they were great people to work with and fun. I have a picture somewhere of me with yuri & motsu... I'm actually holding Yuri's hand because she dragged me into the picture! *squeeee!*

                        But no hate... I do security-ish-type work for acen and was assigned to guests last year which is why I got to work with m.o.v.e. but this year I won't get to see anyone...

                          Smart hosts (and sensible couples will insist on this even if the host doesn't think of it) will put a limit on the number of times that that song can be played at a reception. (I was at one where doing the chicken dance was the penalty for "losing" the game the make the bride and groom kiss. Some little kids went up and kept losing, and losing, and losing...)

                            That song is on our PA music loop..... I hear it at least 2x a day!

                            Certainly got a look the first time it was played.

                              Okay, yes, this is true. More than a couple times a week and I get annoyed. Unless its my chicken-toy that one of Dad's sisters sent him for Christmas a couple years ago.
