Hot Dogs, The Pentagon and The USSR

Cafe Ground Zero: Serving up Nuked Food for over 50 Years



The hot dog stand in the Pentagon's center courtyard, which long has
been a source of Cold War intrigue, will be torn down in the coming months and
replaced with a new eating facility.


"Rumor has it that during the Cold War the Russians never had any less
than two missiles aimed at this hot dog stand," said Brett Eaton, an information
and communications officer for Washington Headquarters Services. "They thought
this was the Pentagon's most top secret meeting room, and the entire Pentagon
was a large fortress built around this hot dog stand."

Reportedly, by using satellite imagery, the Soviets could see groups of
U.S. military officers entering and exiting the hot dog stand at about the same
time every day. They concluded that the stand was the entrance to an underground
bunker.

Heartless Conservative To Have Heart Surgery

Got my date today. October 4th.

The docs believe it will be a valve repair after much testing. If it is a replacement I was offered an organic valve or a mechanical valve. When I asked for their recommendation and they gave me the options I was intriqued to learn that they use pig valves when going the organic route. The organic pig valve doesn't last nearly as long as a mechanical valve.

If I have to go replacement I may go with the pig valve just to piss off the Islamofascists. Well, that and the fact I love ham. Smithfield. Beaten biscuits. Homemade mustard. A dash of horseradish. A sip of bourbon. Trust me.

I just want the little guy to feel at home. PETA notwithstanding.

Episcopal

One of my interested minion asked about my Episcopal Church posts and my status.

I no longer consider myself an Episcopal and I now attend St Edwards the Confessor with my wife who is Catholic. In an interesting 360, my father was raised Roman Catholic, but changed to my mother's church which was Episcopal. I found this out from his mother after my father passed away.

My leaving had everything to do with the destruction of a church I loved, was baptized in, confirmed into and humbly served as an acolyte.

Now you can sleep better, eh?

New Jersey was originally named Albania.

That could explain a lot. Like New Jersey being a nether region.
