I just found out about the Montreal hot dog. I threw up in my soul. - David Jul 24, 21:56 17
- Wait ... what? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 24, 22:06
- I will say that Steamed is great. However, reading about the typical toppings, Montreal style sounds disgusting. -- nm* - Beryllium Jul 24, 22:03 1
  - A hot dog topped with sloppy joe sauce would interest me. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 24, 22:04

  - Imagine a full plate of onions. -- (link) - David Jul 24, 22:17 11
    - Fwiw, what you're describing Is the "all dressed" variety. He actual distinction of a Montreal hot dog is that it's steamed. -- nm - Mop Jul 24, 22:44
    - Decarie Hot Dog (pictured) was a favorite go-to during my college years. -- nm - Mop Jul 24, 22:41
    - Though in reading description, I think a fair amount of the topping could be cabbage or cole slaw -- (edited) - JD Jul 24, 22:20 8
      - That's better in the same way that some STDs are less aggravating than others. -- nm - David Jul 24, 22:23 7

        Really? I heard it was Bachelor Chow. - David Jul 24, 22:40 1
        
        well there was a time but with the low/no sodium edict ..... - JD Jul 24, 22:47
        
        I'm now imagining you just buying a whole tuna, and occasionally slicing raw bits off and eating them. -- nm - mafic Jul 24, 22:39 3
        
        If only it would keep 😉 - JD Jul 24, 22:43
        
        Your food imagery is the literal worst. - David Jul 24, 22:41 1

- And then ted's plan will truly have come to fruition. - Beryllium Jul 24, 21:46 1
  - Seeing how well the gig worked out for Sessions, he'd be crazy not to take the job. (nm) - howie Jul 24, 21:53
Snopes is in trouble of shutting down. Machinations aside, it boils down to a divorce between the owners. - Mop Jul 24, 21:04 2
- Snopes looked at that claim and concluded unlikely. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 21:29
- Snopes says this isn't true. - Qale Jul 24, 21:28
Interesting tweet thread in reaction to BSA-Trump today. -- (link) - Volnelk Jul 24, 20:56 2
- It's astonishing the amount of damage he's been able to inflict to institutions in just six months - Reagen Jul 24, 21:21 1
  - I mean, that is exactly what he campaigned on. "institutions aren't working, so I'm gonna break 'em." -- nm - mafic Jul 24, 21:24
Interesting....today at the dealership was the first I'd heard about this. - Meg Jul 24, 20:54 1
- So... if it breaks, you're out of pocket $2500, but if it doesn't, spend $1000 to avoid breakage? Sounds like insurance. - Mop Jul 24, 23:00

        oh no, he's figured me out! :) -- nm - ty97 Jul 24, 21:13 3
        
        Probably cause I complained about every post being Twitter right? -- nm - Qale Jul 24, 21:14 2
        
        I don't see where this is coming from. Pure crazy talk. -- twitter - Twitter Jul 24, 21:22 1

        You also get extra candy when you transfer them back. - Krusty Jul 24, 20:48 2
        
        Good to know, thanks! -- nm - ty97 Jul 24, 20:50 1
        
        If you use a pineap on a pidgey you get 12 candy. So it can be evolved right away which will give you two more candy. -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 24, 21:23

        Yup, still in daytime sleepy mode. They're so fat and happy lately they're never in any hurry to get out and hunt. -- nm - Meg Jul 24, 20:14 5
        
        They're like us when you still have an hour to sleep but you have to pee and you're hungry but you fight it to stay in bed just a little longer. - Krusty Jul 24, 20:16 4
        
        We don't know if this is the same pair that raised the successful clutch earlier this year. They don't appear to be banded which complicates the ID. -- nm - Meg Jul 24, 20:25 3
        
        The eyes are staying open now. Looks like it might be time to go hunt. - Krusty Jul 24, 20:31 2
