It's no secret that I LOVE corn dogs. I will gladly endure throngs of humanity in mullets just to get a fresh, fair-cooked corn dog.
This past weekend, being Halloween, a friend told me I should dress up as a corn dog next year. It's a GREAT idea! Also this past weekend, I found a gem at a quirky little store called "Big Fun" (which, incidentally, had these awesome Barack Obama paper dolls that included Michelle and the girls!).
At the right is what I found - it is a CORN DOG AIR FRESHENER! That's right, folks. And get this - it's MUSTARD scented!!!
For those of you living in another country, corn dogs are hot dogs dipped in corn batter, deep fried and served on a stick. Corn dogs were supposedly created in 1942 for the Texas State Fair by Neil Fletcher. Corn dogs are an excellent source of calories, fat, cholesterol and salt.
"National Corndog Day coincides with the Saturday of the final 32 teams in NCAA basketball tournament (in 2008, it was March 22). This Saturday is the only day all year that one can watch a quadruple-header of college basketball games (that’s a good 7-8 hours of college hoops) from start to finish without having to change the channel. NCD officially starts with the tip-off of the first game – 10 am Pacific/1 pm Eastern. To help pass the time, have fun with friends, and to celebrate being blessed with such a thing as a college basketball tournament, we eat Corndogs!"
Now, I'm not really into basketball at all, but I do very much enjoy corn dogs, and would watch basketball (or at least have it on the TV in the background) in order to celebrate National Corn Dog day properly.
I love that LilCherie made me stickers of fairies with corn dogs. She did a "wandectomy" and in place of their little fairy wands, put corn dogs. I need more corn dog stickers. LilCherie also made me this crazy arrangement in a "dirty pot" (a clay pot decoupaged with naughty images). Inside the pot are things like feathers, pussy willows, sunflowers, birds, and bees. But the best part is that she made corn dogs out of fimo clay and put them on sticks into the arrangement! I'll have to get a picture of it, it's great!
So, LilCherie, look what the internet spewed forth:
The Iowa State Fair is the best because they have FOOTLONG CORN DOGS!! That's right, FOOTLONG!And, another LilCherie corn dog moment, she took this photo of me when they were visiting in August. I now refer to this photo as "Porn Dog."

I can't believe they make corn dog air fresheners. YUCK!!! But awesome at the same time!
I am so glad you posted the Porn Dog photo. It's one of my all-time faves!
You and corn dogs...they will always go together in my mind forevermore!
Darn it! Now I'm hungry for a corn dog. I did not know you could buy corn dogs any place but a fair. Let's try making them from scratch. Just say when.
