On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

With or without mayo?

I can't even.

I don't think I've eaten a hotdog since 1988.

Hot dogs aren't food, they're industrial waste and red dye #6. I can sympathize with the idea of wanting to disguise industrial waste with a lot of condiments though.

I've heard some people put mayo on their grilled cheese before feeding it to their cat!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Argh! bon bon edited to add mayo to the cats....

With or without mayo?

Jinx!

There are many things out there that sound good, but somehow are flawed in a way personal to me. My mom makes this crab salad with avocado and lime and chile and nectarines or peaches.

Problem: I don't like crab.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The best hotdog I ever had was in London, from a cart in Leicester Square.

My sister just called me to find the traditional colour of mourning in Ghana. Now that I know she won't read the e-mail I sent just seconds before she called until late tomorrow (due to the funeral she's attending), I'm pre-emptively impatient.

Up with the sun

Hot dog party at Lyra's house!

I'm trying to think of a Buffistaly response that is not actually gross, and words are failing me. Sorry.

I also have no thoughts involving cats and mayonnaise. We usually tell our cats they're going to be turned into either goulash or roast beastie. (Mmmm, kitty goulash...)

I love crab. But I hate mock-crab. Which many inexpensive Chinese and Thai restaurants insist on serving around here (usually in some sort of seafood combo).

Wait, I take it back! I might have had hotdogs in 1996. Except they seemed a little different. From the vendors all around Prague.
