GREAT INFORMATION:
But Did You Know This?:
The hot dog was invented in Frankfort, Germany, In1487,
Pointing to the word "frankfurter" as proof of the hot dog’s roots in the city.
In fact, in 1987, Frankfurt threw a huge celebration honoring the 500th anniversary of the hot dog".
W E L L ? Did You Know That Or Not?.... Which Leads To The Question "Where Did The Term Come From":~ "Just Hot Dogging Around"?.... Kinda Makes Ya Go "Hummm", Doesn't It?

Rick, you gotta be kidding!
Frankfort = Hotdog
A resident of Frankfort is a Frankfurter.
BELLY LAUGH.
Guess it's the same regarding the capital of Kentucky, right?

My father's parents planned to visit from back East in 1952, but only if we had a television so Grandma could watch Elizabeth's coronation. So, one day my sister and I got home from school and the appliance store people were installing it. Imagine our excitement. Thank you your Highness; I still have the TV.

CPL Douglas Chrysler But, does the TV still work? Well, come on anyways since the reassigned the frequencies TV broadcast on. I have a 1946 Admiral from the wife's grandfather and it was still working when they did the change. (I used to service TV's, VCR's and camcorders).

SPC (Join to see) - The collapse of the consumer electronics repair industry due to low prices is what drove me back into teaching. I have to admit, I was bitter about it at the time but like everything else, it somehow works out in the end and turned out to be a good thing.
