Hot dogs are running away with our little poll which just has a few hours to run. So you knish fans have to get your ass in gear. So to speak.
You can understand how hot dogs would be out front. They have been popular for many years. Here we have a photo of Eleanor Roosevelt's "friend" Leonora Hicthcock enjoying a tube steak in public in an effort to throw J. Edgar Hoover off track. If she had only known that J. Edgar enjoyed a good tube steak in his own right.
Anyway I am taking suggestions for our next poll so fire away.

Hey! I tried. I was unable to form any alliances in this poll. Did I pick a dud?
It's your fault, Trooper. You made them sound so delicious!
I thought that Curtiss was going to pull some strings for you.
*sigh*
No, Curtiss went the way of the ice cream cone. I may have worn out my powers of persuasion. :( That, and I failed to consult another very persuasive TY reader.
Plus, I think Trooper led me astray on purpose!
Background of that photo -- factories! No more of that in the two Americas of yuppies and McDonalds service workers. Soon no more yuppies. And no more McDonalds workers either as everyone, like me, retreats to their own kitchen to make a spaghetti dinner. And no, you're wrong, no spaghetti factories springing up because of pollution...or cap and trade...or something. Soon no nothing. But the forests returning...everywhere. And ain't that a great thing?
What do I know? I voted Ice Cream!
As for the next poll...
Are we doing Food, booze or broads?
Or is there another catagory?
Favorite western? Or make it tough; favorite western without John Wayne or Clint Eastwood?
Would Silverado be the runaway favorite?
No the Magnificent Seven. Or the Wild Bunch. Or Ride the High Country. Or Cheyenne Autumn. Or Unforgiven. Or Major Dundee. Or The Gunfighter. Or the Daybreakers. Or Frontier Marshal. Or Appaloosa. Or a couple of others. But we only have room for five choices.
chickenlittle: I thought that Curtiss was going to pull some strings for you.
Pull some strings, eh? Here's how it went down:
CURTISS:
I understand. You found paradise at Trooper York, had a good time, made some good comments. The Trooper protected you; and there was Althouse. And you didn't need a friend of me. But now you come to me and you say -- "Curtiss give me justice." -- But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me Curtiss. Instead, you come into my comment karma on the day my favorite chef is to be stuffed, and you ask me to do poll votes, for ...
DARCY:
I ask you for justice.
CURTISS:
That is not justice; your knishes are still alive.
Anyway, back on topic, how about Best Boobs in a Western?
Here's some picks:
Ann-Margret: Stagecoach
Raquel Welch: 100 Rifles
Marilyn Monroe: The Misfits
Jane Mansfield: The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw
What?
Now we are talking!!!!!!
I might have to work on that on Curtiss!!!!
Don't forget the broad in the Professionals. I forget her name, I think it was Chevorlet Vega or something like that!
Dude! So many faux pas in one comment thread, Troop!
The criteria was no Wayne or Eastwood, and you listed Unforgiven! (Unless you mean the 1960 The Unforgiven--is that any good?)
Also, it was Claudia Cardinale in The Professionals, unless you're referring to the winsome Chiquita--actually winsome is probably the exact wrong word but--who was played by Marie Gomez.
I mentioned her in my post on the movie.
And Faye Dunaway in Little Big Man.
Well, maybe not.
Annnd, back off topic:
DARCY:
Let them suffer then. As the knishes have suffered. How much shall I pay you?
Back on topic:
The "Best Western w/o Eastwood or Wayne" would be hot stuff. In a different way than the boobs poll, sure, but still...
Oh, and not to alienate the ladies but let's not leave out the '80s classic "Lust in the Dust" for the western boobage poll.
Or, wait, maybe we should.
There's a Mexican chicquita in The War Wagon who's hot as a pistol. The scene is with Kirk Douglas and she's on screen for like a minute but holy chihuahua!
Ooh, ricpic, there's one.
This maybe is just a guy thing--dunno if girls do this--but how many of us remember seeing some pulchritudinous wench in a flick who was only there for a brief scene but is forever seared (SEARED!) in our memories?
Dude I was talking about the Unforgiven with Burt Lancaster. I don't really care for the one with Eastwood. This one was directed by John Huston and also starred Audrey Hepburn and Audie Murphy. With one of favorite tough guy actors John Saxon. The Italian looking guy with the german name. And the one and only Albert Salami.
The Vega thing was a joke. Isla Vega starred in "Let Me Give Some Head to Alfredo Garcia."
I really prefer Westerns from the 1950's and 1960's. That's the good stuff. Especially from 1955 to
1965.
I'll have to give "The Unforgiven" a look-see; I get pissed because it's not the Eastwood one.
What about Isela Vega? Did someone mention her?
No that was the joke, I just think she has a funny name because I always call her Chevy Vega. And she is smokin'
Doh, totally missed that.
Too much going on here.....
Best Boobs poll:
John Kerry
Michael Dukakis
Al Gore
Jimmy Carter.
Hard to choose; they're all boobs.
And pictures of republican dogs?
How about Phyliss Schafley. She's a beaut. Love her. Her son is a leather queen too. How's that for Karma?
Don't forget to Richard Nixon in there Michael!
Fair and Balanced is fair and balanced!
The brown mustard on the original hot dog photo put it over the top for me.
Speaking of nice boobs, how about Salma? She did some tortilla Westerns didn't she?
chicken, there are boobs and then there are BOOBS!
Oh, and breasts.
She did the Wild, Wild West, one of the worst movies evah!
Or best Vampire movie in a western town with Salma Hayek writhing on the table?
Blake? Anyone?
She also looked pretty good in the Mariachi trilogy, no?
There is a hot dog stand here in Chicago that offers "The Mother in Law. It is a rolled spicy tamale and a hot dog on a bun, topped with chili. Like your mother in law, it is supposed to cause discomfort, distress, and make you want to run fast.
Well, spluh, From Dusk Til Dawn.
Vampire westerns...there's a sub-nichne for you. Billy the Kid meets Dracula, anyone? I think John Carradine was Dracula in that.
