Hey Mary6906!

Have you had a "few too many?" ;) Or did Hoops and Sister Rose "borrow" your Wienermobile? :eek:

One southern Wisconsin homeowner is probably not in love with the Oscar Mayer wiener. The famed hot dog's Wienermobile crashed Friday into the deck and garage of a home in Mount Pleasant, about 35 miles south of Milwaukee.

Police said the driver was trying to turn the Wienermobile around in the driveway and thought she was moving in reverse. But she instead went forward and hit the home. It sat in the driveway as if it were stuck in the garage Friday afternoon.

No one was home and no one was injured. No citations were immediately issued.

Both the home and vehicle suffered moderate damage, which Oscar Mayer spokeswoman Sydney Lindner says insurance will cover.

Police hadn't been able to speak to the homeowner as of early Friday evening.

Some years ago, a friend and her then-teenaged son were in Appleton, Wisconsin, when the Wienermobile arrived in town. The son got that look only a teenager can have when they have an original idea: "hey, Mom.....let's steal it!"

Mom replied that it would be a rather difficult prize to hide.

"Oh, no problem....we'll paint it! We'll disguise it as a bratwurst!"

I have had no word at this writing, but am still waiting for them to claim credit for this incident.

[hoops]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! Dave, i'm crying over this one

HOW DARE THEY!! :mad:

----------------------------------------
Apple pie, Baseball and the Wienermobile - seriously, there is not much more American than the iconic Oscar Mayer hotdog on wheels.

People everywhere love seeing the Wienermobile, and contests are held yearly so people can get a chance to drive it themselves.

Unless of course you live in Hawaii. An archaic 1927 law bans all billboards on the Hawaiian islands, and a local organization claims the Wienermobile should be part of that ban. The group, Outdoor Circle, is pushing to keep the hotdog off the island forever.

The Wienermobile visited Hawaii for 3 weeks in July, and as far as Outdoor Circle is concerned, that is going to be its last visit.

According to the people behind the organization, "6 to 12 O'ahu residents complained". A 2006 law banning all vehicles with the sole purpose of advertising was also cited in the complaint.

The Honolulu mayor welcomed the Wienermobile to his city, and it was honored with an official "Oscar Mayer Wiener Day". The mayor is now looking into possible violations, but pointed out that no official complaints were received by them.

Sometimes you just wonder whether people are having such a hard time finding better things to do. Complaining about the Wienermobile violating a 1920's law just seems like a huge waste of time.

[hoops]

it's wrong Mary, Just wrong, you don;t need this kind of predjudice!
peace

Guess we all have our crosses to bear, Noel.... :rolleyes: someday, I know, it will be accepted.

As far as I'm concerned, any kind of advertising is pretty obnoxious, and I'm all for Hawaii's good taste in banning it!
