NEWS OF THE WEIRD
It’s come to this
Sure, the Indianapolis 500 is loud and dangerous, but after 100-plus years of racing, you might not be faulted for stifling a big yawn before the cars cross the finish line. But fear not! On Friday, six Wienermobiles competed in the first-ever Wienie 500, KTLA-TV reported. Each Wienermobile represented a regional hot dog, to wit: The Chi Dog (Midwest), the New York Dog (East Coast), the Slaw Dog (Southeast), the Sonoran Dog (Southwest), the Chili Dog (South) and the Seattle Dog (Northwest). A finish-line celebration in the “Wiener’s Circle” included a condiment spray for the champion Slaw Dog.
