I have to admit, I’m getting a little stir-crazy here at MBIP World Headquarters. Most of you know by now that I had hip surgery two weeks ago and while I’m healing fine, I haven’t been able to drive my car this whole time and get out of my apartment.
I’m hoping that maybe by the end of the week I’ll be able to get in my car and go places again. But till then, I’m stuck here!
Last week I made a hot dog here at the MBIP World Headquarters, but this week, Bob Gordon, a friend and owner of Acme Comics volunteered to stop at Dairy Queen and bring a couple hot dogs over here to sample.
And so let’s begin another house-bound edition of MBIP!
Here’s a photo the Dairy Queen (I refuse to call it “DQ”) on Sheridan Road that I took a couple of years ago.
There’s a weird story about this building. Originally this was the location of a Sandy’s hamburger stand. It was really a popular spot here in Peoria. Well, as time moved on, the building turned into a Dairy Queen, but it was housed in the same building that Sandy’s was. I wrote a blog about this structure back in 2013 and took photos of the place.
A few years later, they tore down that historical building and built another Dairy Queen. I still have trouble wrapping my head around that, like I said, the historical structure was in perfect shape. Anyway, this is where Bob is picking up this week’s dueling hot dogs.
And speaking of Bob…
Here he is at the front door of MBIP World Headquarters!
Always great to see Bob and if for some god-forsaken reason, you’ve never visited his store, Acme Comics, you need to get over there right now! Well, read the blog first and then go, Within Acme’s massive inventory are comics, used action figures and toys, vintage vinyl records, DVDs, games, posters, CDs, graphic novels and much more. Check out their facecrack page here.
Check out the slogan on the bag: “Happy Tastes Good.” What the fuck does that even mean?
Happy isn’t a flavor or something you can taste, it’s a state of mind. Is it me, or does that slogan make absolutely no fucking sense at all?
Yet another time to ask the age-old question: “Who are the ad wizards who thought of this?”
Fuck me running and walking backwards at the same time!
Bob told me he just likes a simple hot dog, so he got his topped with a little mustard and ketchup.
He said the hot dog was good, but nothing special that would make him want to go back for another one. That’s a fair assessment!
I thought I’d try the fries before I sample my hot dog, but look at the box. There’s that senseless fucking slogan that is driving me out of my motherfucking mind!
FUUUCK! Let’s just jump to the hot dog, I’m getting a goddamned headache over here!
Holy fucking shitballs! Look at the fucking saying on the hot dog box…”This is what happy looks like.”
No, this isn’t what fucking happy fucking looks like. This is what a goddamned motherfucking stupid hot dog box looks like!
I’d like to meet the asshole who came up with this bullshit and hit him or her repeatedly in the face with a shovel. Now that is what happiness truly would look like for me.
Let’s take a look at the dueling dogs and get this fucking shit over with! I’m about to have a fucking nervous breakdown over here!
Hey Dairy Queen, I’ve got a slogan for you and here it is: “This is what two fucking hot dogs look like.”
I got a chili dog and just like Bob said, it was good, but nothing I’d specifically go back for. The chili was plentiful, but a little bland.
Here’s Bob posing with the Joan Jett figurine he gave me from Acme the other week. Now that’s what happiness looks like!
Thanks to Bob for picking up the hot dogs and coming over and hanging out with me!
