The Troll Farm

[ditcherman]

Several years ago I worked at Fields Packing in Owensboro. I was assigned to assist electrical check out for a contractor installing a new fully automated hotdog line. During early production check out runs a young engineer was inspecting the rough cutting device and got his hand caught up in the rotating blades. His complete hand and most of his lower arm went through the process. After a brief shut down to assist the gentleman and clean up, production continued. His hand/arm were never recovered. I haven't ate a hotdog since. The story did have a happy ending I will tell the rest of the story if anyone wants to know more.

They gave him a sausage arm and little hot dog fingers?



ETA a minute late (and many dollars short)

Somebody, somewhere had to be the first to eat boiled hog rectum. There is likely a Brit involved in this somewhere

Brit or Scotsman? My money would be on the Scots, I swear half their food was invented on drunken dares.

The company offered him free hot dogs for life.

We just called him Single Wing after the accident. After recovering and blowing through his settlement money he lost interest in engineering. Last I heard ol' Single Wing was the National Circular Swimming Champion. He was invited to Europe for the Would Championships but withdrew after finding out they raced in the opposite direction .

Troll Farm -- It just sounds nasty
Troll Farm -- It pretty much is.

A hot dog is a bread burrito....

Not really, I always ate burritos head straight up. Was never a big hot dog fan so I ate them like a taco, cooking head to the side. I was in my 30s before I realized I could eat a hot dog like a burrito.

A little gamey, I grind it together with equal amounts of snipe to mellow the flavor.

What's the longest time the bag has been held open?

I can see a pinapple salsa on a hot dog.. kind of like a sweet relish.

You know, I could almost see that (Yeah, Lord help me, I said it). It would require careful consideration for additional condiments though. Actually, plain old yellow mustard might compliment that.

Until the bun hinge breaks: No.

Oh, that makes the hotdog not just uneatable but also unAmerican.

I had to look him up. I don't know if I've heard him or not, but I used to be a fan of Waylon and Willie back in the late 70's.

This guy, right?

I'll have to go youtube him!
