Mr. Creepy Cone needs a friend
He's lonely now that The Eared One has gone off to college with Sarah. (When during our parents weekend tour we got to see Sarah's dorm room, she showed us that The Eared One is indeed keeping a watchful eye on the situation there from its perch high in her closet. Nothing escapes The Eared One's watchful gaze.) Fortunately, while at the fair, Gina found and photographed that special companion: this guy. 
If you're like me (and if you are, seek therapy), the first thing you think when you see this hot dog/human hybrid is, "Man, I need me one of those!"
For those who are wondering, if you're like me the second thing you think is, "Hmmm. I wonder how it would feel to squirt condiments on my head."
Again, be thankful you're not like me.
Anyway, even those of you who are considerably less odd than I must admit that this statue is awesome. Check out the weirdly accurate legs and shoes, the oozing mustard, the curly ketchup horn, and, of course, the focused, demented expression, complete with protruding, overly red tongue. The closer you look, the more the craftsmanship behind this creation becomes obvious. Note, for example, the eyebrows, one mustard and one ketchup. That's quality.
Yup, Mr. Creepy Cone needs a companion, and this guy is the thing for the job.
Now, if I could just figure out where to buy one....

This must be his brother (http://www.butlersandsigns.com/hotdog61.html). Definitely not cheap, but I know how low your will power is when it comes to hot dogs...
Must resist twelve-hundred-dollar rolling hot dog of death! Must resist!
I think it is scary looking, the kind of thing that would freak you out in the middle of the night. It is like those scary lawn gnomes that you know come to life and do nasty things to your yard when you aren't watching. Walk away, Mark, just walk away.
You may be right, but it is tempting.
I've had students who look like him.

John, that may be the most frightening thing I've ever heard you say.
There is a cheaper 3-foot tall version...
I know there is; several folks have now sent it to me. I must resist this evil temptation, but it is difficult. Must resist....
Just put it on your Christmas list--make it someone else's fault...
I don't think I can reasonably do that. The scary women would hurt me.
