At first I thought you had crashed the moving van. Then I was going to say what Stellaa said.
Fun post with a funnier pic. Just funny, but not for that home owner.

Now that's real news. It could have been worse; she could have driven it into a massage parlor that offers "happy endings".

Good God, not the Wienermobile!

Now the price of hot dogs is going to go up!!!!

RIP Oscar Meyer
RIP Walter Cronkite

We stayed at a motel near Los Angeles a couple of years ago and to our delight, the Wienermobile was parked in the lot. My daughter has photos of herself standing next to it. That coincidence doubled the fun of our vacation.

I'm trying to imagine Walter Cronkite reading this story without laughing. I know I couldn't do it.

RATED

Who knew that little wienermobile we had all known and loved would be devoured by a suburban deck. Is that a little hibachi up on that deck?

Willie, I think Walter would have offered his trademark chuckle. I wouldn't want to be on the air when this story broke.

Rich, I thought it was kind of appropriate that it was in Wisconsin. Oscar Mayers make good cheese dogs, don't they?

Truly awesome and profound.

Thank you, Coyote.
As Stellaa says, we have lost Oscar.
His scion was a good man. He espoused a leveling of he playing field and an honest assessment of jus thow much the American worker has contributed to teh suvcess of the U. S of A.
Wonderful scoup!

As a more serious point, will the media mourn him as excessively as they mourned Russert? I don't see much reporting going on. It has all stopped for the memorializing.

I have grief fatigue, but I may just have to trot out my black veil for the Weinermobile.

All together now... (in dirge):

Oh, I'm glad I'm not an Oscar Mayer weiner,
Crashed under a carport now and dead,
I'm glad I'm not an Oscar Mayer weiner,
Something finally bit off my head...

R.I.P. Weinermobile and goodbye Mr. Cronkite.
I've been missing him for years anyway.

There's something about that photo that makes me feel....naughty.

And I knew a guy who drove the Wienermobile back in the 90's, but I don't think he ever crashed it.

Oh honey. I think I'm getting this more than I'm suppposed to.

It's hard to tell the front from the back on those weiners. Poor Oscar is probably rolling in his grave over this one.

No, there won't be the memorializing because Walter was 92. I'm trying to explain to my daughter tonight why her dad and I are calling him by his first name. I find it interesting that he died during the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 flight. Remember his reaction to the Eagle landing at Tranquility Base?

I can't wait to read Sigmund Freud's blog about this. Oh wait, he's dead too.

Hot dog! I'd worried from the title this might be some kind of hoags, but the story checks out—no baloney here. Now you just have to play ketchup with the other news agencies so that your story brings lots of people hungry for news (and perhaps Oscar Mayer products) and you can become rich, hoisted on your own mustárd.

I relish the opportunity.

How odd, I was just reading a profile on the Wisconsin Weaniemobile driver. Not just odd that the two happened in the same day but really why in the hell would I read a profile of the weaniemobile driver? How odd.

I'm stunned.

Sigmund Freud is dead? Are you sure it's not just a phase he's going through?

Insurance adjuster: You were not covered for Wienermobile collisions.

Where is Mr. Mustard when he's needed?

Cronkite's death was obviously foul play. I suspect Brian Williams, and I may do a post to that effect almost immediately, or at least before this cheap wine wears off.

I heard the Wienermobile was sideswiped by a tanker truck emblazoned with the brand name Silver Floss. I'll have to double check that report, though. It may be apocryphal.

In the picture, the emergency workers are on their knees in front of the Wienermobile; they look almost reverent. As they should be! It's not every day you get to rescue a giant mobile wiener.

Hmmmm. I thought they were condiment accolytes.

I’m with Mission – I was like “oh, no” – COS is in a ditch somewhere in VT!

But, now I see you are the new anchor of the Breaking News Comedy Hour… poor weinermobile; it’s got to hurt!

- rated for the fun of it all

George, I'm starting to think that the Wienermobile is just what I need to move all this crap. But I think I'm going to settle for a UHaul truck and my strapping 25-year-old son to help us out. I'll try to stay out of the ditch!

COS - I hope that you are going to be taking lots of pictures of your move.... cause I see a great OS series in the making.

I'm working on it, George! Now, where did I put the lenses . . .

I know he was a fixture in our living room. A condolence call is warranted.

Oscar was a friend to Madison, WI.

Wieners are friends to those that befriend wieners.

Being from Madison, WI, I know very little about anything, but let me assure you the home and the wiener stuck in it will be fixed.

Oscar the third died. The first Oscar is dead as well. Michael Jackson is also dead.

Oscar Mayer made me sick many times... not with his finished product but with his slaughterhouse.

The stench was horrid. He (Oscar) tried cinnamon as an air freshener for the entire north side of Madison one time. Cinnamon with the stench of decaying beef and pork does not work... we held our noses while driving by the plant and hurried to buy hot dogs.

Oscar moved his slaughtering to another place (I eat meat, so I have nothing negative to say) so the stench stopped. So did many of the good paying jobs, which was why we put up with the stench in the first place.

Thanks, Jay, for the colorful background information!

Too Funny! And we will miss Walter Cronkite. Thanks for the laugh.

Thank you for coming by, Ralph. You're right on all counts!
