This Week's Wiener!!!

Posted by Scrappers on Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 2:47 PM

Every week the Mercury's Flickr pool fills up with randomly awesome picture from around town.
Every week we pick a winner for the Photo Lottery from this pool.
This weeks winner is an actual wiener by Hannah Westberg.
1758/1240955731-3455450669_b742d64ece_o.jpg
This wiener speaks volumes about who we are as a people; our values, our politics, our food of choice, etc...
But I'm no writer (I'm the art director), so I challenge you wordsmiths.
HAIKU THIS PHOTO!!!

Patriotism:
Meat in a tube; condiments.
Wrap it in a flag.

Food is not a toy.
Made from the slaughterhouse floor?
Fun is made of soy!

Randy wants neon rose
in window of Coliseum
Why not a hot dog?


Big plastic hot dog
Not actually food but still,
Blabby's mom eats them

Wacky Mcwiener can be found selling hot dogs on the mean streets of vancouver, washington.

LuckyMike is correct, but Vancouver's a suburb of Portland and has no identity of its own.

I mean Lilikins is correct.
