R.O.N.D.o's

I'm thinking today: "I sure do love hot dogs." Then I thought "Foot-long hot dogs are boring. Old hat."

Then it hit me: Yard dogs. That's right. Three feet of hot dog or, better yet, corn dog. (Note to self: Research suppliers of hygienic yardsticks.)

It all seems perfect for the state fair crowd. "I got my funnelcake and my three feet of miscellaneous parts stuffed in a casing, battered and deep fried. Now this is living!"

And that all seems reasonable enough but then I had the idea for R.O.N.D.o's (Ridiculously Oversized Novelty Diners (the second "o" is superfluous, it just has a ring to it)). At RONDo's we'll serve Yard Dogs. And big-ass glasses that hold 2 liters of pop (why the hell do we Americans buy pop in metric?!?). And what I'm going to call "Frisburgers". Burgers the size of Frisbees (that is until we're sued by Wham-O, after which they'll be called "Flying-Novelty-Disc-Burgers"). We'll give the impression that you can bring the whole family to share in one crazy big-ass dog or burger but I'm sure we'll draw lots of Type 2 diabetes sufferers. So we'll have extra big comfy chairs and tables.

We'll have a commercial like this:

Guy 1: "I'm hungry. I'm goin' to RONDo's.

Guy 2: "RONDo's? What's that?"

Guy 1: "Ridiculously Oversized Novelty Diner. The extra "o" stands for "OMG!""

Guy 2: "That's certainly a mouthful!"

Guy 1: "You can say that again!"

How do i claim the crunchy bit of burnt fried batter at the bottom of the yard long corn dog? How long is that thing? Can you just batter and fry up a yard of that stuff please?

Listen to the Dr. Ew theme song!


On the day that Drew was born
the angels got together
and decided to create
a dream come Drew
So they sprinkled
moondust in my hair
and golden starlight
in my eyes of blue.
