I was sorry we had to skip Nathans


I mean I love Nathans. But we had two ten year olds with us and I didn't want them to get sick and barf all over the car on the ride home. Plus we couldn't buy it and take it home because it takes about half an hour and the stuff would get cold.

I remember when I was a kid me and my buddies would take a towel and go on the F train to Coney Island and spend the day on the beach. We would make a Nathan's run and get some hot dogs. Man they always tasted salty and greasy and great. The best ones was when the sweat of the girl behind the grill would run down her nose and drip on the dogs on the grill. You would flirt with her and say "Hey Foxy your dripping all over my dog." "You know I be dripping sugar." "Oh yeah Baby! You know what they say about Irish guys ain't true.... and...and.." Oh sorry I had a flashback.

Anyway speaking of that the clams are pretty great too!

The name just never caught on.


They keep trying to change the names of the amusement area at Coney Island. It was Fun Land and Wonderland and whole bunch of other stuff at one time or another. You see some vestiges of older management schemes. Some of them even had a sense of humor.

We don't do politically correct in Brooklyn. Foregetaboutit!!!!!!
