Excited about the party packs

Corn dogs, soda and goodies? What more could we ask for? The poster is really going to tie the room together.

Less than 8 hours to go!

The fridge and freezer are overflowing with dogs and tots, food such as lettuce and fruit has been thrown out of the fridge to accommodate massive quantities of PBR. The Velveeta and Rotel is at the ready.

Condiments

Every year I've had ketchup (even though I'm anti-ketchup) and a variety of mustards available as dog/tot condiments. I'm thinking of adding cheese in a can to the condiment selection this year. Thoughts and comments?

24 hours from now

We'll be floating amidst a sea of wooden sticks, empty beer cans and residual tot grease. I can't wait. I've made it very clear that tomorrow we are partying in the name of corn dogs, not in the name of St. Patrick. I wouldn't hold out much hope for the mustard, though.

Dog storage tips

windycity — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 16:46:48 +0000

The dogs have landed in Chicago, my freezer is maxed out and only a minimal amount of fridge space is reserved for dogs (most space for the beer). This year I'm going to be implementing a dog rotation between the fridge, freeze and styro boxes stocked with freezer packs. Over the years I've generally just stored my dogs in the fridge, so it shouldn't be a problem either way.

Mark it, dudes! I'm more excited over corndog day than I was for Christmas. Why must corndog day only come but once a year?

Chicago gets a triple-double!

We have our first and only Chicago triple-double by Chris. He is in bad shape, but we have hope he will recover.

Chicago Update

windycity — Sun, 19 Mar 2006 02:55:11 +0000

Five cases of dogs gone in Chicago, 500+ tots, too many beers to count. We have a man on the street doing a beer run as we speak. Random people have shown up to the party, reserve cases have been brought out from the freezer. One man is 25 tots away from the triple double, I did 10 beers, 60 tots and 5 dogs before giving up and drinking vodka.

One last trip

windycity — Sat, 18 Mar 2006 16:09:06 +0000

One more trip to the beer store now that my fridge is organized and then it's on. 250 corndogs, 500 tots, 100 beers. If you will it, it is no dream.

Houston, we have dogs!

windycity — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 16:06:59 +0000

12 boxes of 28 count dogs have just been received in Chicago. I don't have anywhere near the freezer space for this. So far I have 7 boxes in my freezer, but just realized I have no room for tots. Some dogs have been relocated to the fridge, freeing up space for tots. Now I just need room for beer.

Triple Double strategies

windycity — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 14:39:07 +0000

I'm no stranger to eating competitions, but this will be my virgin triple double attempt. What strategies have people found to work the best? I plan on starting at noon, so I'll have 12 hours to do this. One thing I've found to be the biggest problem with any eating contest is the boredom of the same taste over and over again. I fear the tot will be my worst enemy within the next 48 hours of my life. Something tells me I'm going to end up dipping my tots in steak sauce at some point.

Is it best to start strong out of the gate right at noon? Should I scarf down as many dogs as possible and distribute tot units throughout the day? Or should I combine a unit of tots with a dog on a steady schedule throughout the day?

From my sponsor so far away
