And I thought that I was the only one that remembered one of those weird hot doggers.  You know they might even have caught on it it hadn't been  for the microwave oven becoming affordable.
I think Ronmar is right, the whole world is raising a bunch of wimps.
Gotta be a man to eat an electrocuted dog!

We had one of those too.  As I recall, electrocuted dogs tasted awful....

Dunno, but I had a chemistry prof who said his dorm was wired with DC, and when he tried it (with a board, a couple of nails and a wire), the dogs tasted even worse -- one end was soapy and the other very acidic!

This was your professor and he lived in the dorm? And he thought it was wired with DC? Did you ever think of checking into the accreditation of that school? LOL

Heh heh.  :-)  Guess I didn't make myself clear.  Ahem.  I once had a prof who said that, when he was an undergrad and lived in a dorm, etc, etc, etc.   ;-)

Looks like the kid is even putting the knife in the hot one, smart kid!

[mobile_bob]

i remember back in grade school, jr and sr high school being called upon lots of times for electrical issues
everything from soldering speaker wires, to my favorite pulling a broken prong from a plug in out of a wall socket.

funny how the kids and teachers would look at me in awe wondering how i could just grab it and pull it out with my bare
fingers and not get shocked.

geesh, it ain't like i was standing in a puddle of water or something!

i guess learning about completing a circuit with a bobbie pin at 2 was a good education, one would think that would have been
enough to make a kid go into a completely different line of interest, like pottery or glee club
