the concession stand though..."

Keeping in mind that Ralph Nader once called the hot dog "the most dangerous
missile known to man", I offer for you Chuckles the following recipe for home
boiled weenies:

1) Slit your weenie with a knife.

2) Bring the water to a boil, placing the weenie in the water only after said
water comes to a boil.

3) After about 2 minutes, the weenie should begin to split. Turn the flame
off, but leave the weenie in the water and cover the pot. Let the weenie sit
in said water for another 2-3 minutes. This will give your weenie the "dirty
water dog" taste that New Yorkers have come to love. A good bun and some quality
condiments complete the preparations.
