Are there only two philosophical questions?
 
God vs the Devil and Evolution vs The Creation story. Is this just one question really? If so, what would be a better encapsulation of it? Discuss.

not one question unless you associate evolution with evil.

as for other philosophical questions, we still have: ketchup or mustard on your hot dog, spit or swallow, and the meaning of life.

If you want to make just one question, it would be ((Big Bang + Abiogenesis + Evolution) AND/OR (God vs Devil)), where you figure out the value of AND/OR. Though is God vs. Devil really appropriate? Unless they're of equal power, it's not really a "vs" relationship.

To even suggest anything but mustard jeopardizes your eternal soul. Only goats put catsup on a dog.

I concur, proffesor G. ketchup on your hotdog is akin to drinking water from a coffee mug. it's elementally wrong and speaks of weakness in character. ketchup is for french fries. duh.

You guys are nuts. Ketchup, catsup or however the hell you spell it is a fundamental part of the hot dog experience. Its the American thing to do. Mustard is good also but mustard by itself is for bratz and bratz are NOT hot dogs. Saur kraut is ok, I suppose, (but your pushing it) but a Cal Ripkin, Jr. ball park hot dog without ketchup is like apple pie without vanilla ice cream or hockey without a fight or baseball without a 7th inning stretch or a mustang without a stick. Blasphemy. Oh, and Vidalia Onion relish is also acceptable. Put some South in yo' mouth, son. :)

Ketchup, swallow, and 42

Hmm. Did I reveal too much there? I might not be telling the truth about the ketchup ...

lumberjim 01-08-2005 04:02 AM

What else is sarcasm used for?

PPS You'll note that I have the sense to keep away from the mustard/ketchup question!

Only in an affectionate, jabbing sort of way :p !

Wait a second. . . . if you put mustard <i>and</i> catsup on your hot dog, does it cancel out a little bit of the wrongness of the catsup? What if you also put pickle relish and mayo on it?

That being said, I would like to point out that Sabrettes are <b>the only hotdogs</b> that should ever be eaten. Ballparks, Hebrew National, Oscar Mayer... eww. Nathans are acceptable when there is a shortage of real hot dogs.

That is all.

A hot dog's sole raison d'etre is a vehicle for sauerkraut consumption.
