National Corndog Day

Corndog Day posterTo be truthful, I have no idea what a corn dog is, and quite frankly I may be better off in ignorance. But apparently it involves plenty of beer (which is fine) and something called tater tots. To me, tots are children so anything that involves them, microwave ovens, ("sure you can squeese another one in they are only little!"), yellow mustard and ketchup might not turn out to be too bad. 

National Corn Dog Day is coming up on the 18th of this month. It might just be too much to cope with if this quote from the Official Corndog Day website is any indication - "it as the happiest day of basketball and meats on sticks that you'll ever have. National Corndog Day coincides with the Saturday of the final 32 teams in NCAA basketball tournament . 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 our friends, and to celebrate being blessed with such a thing as a college basketball tournament, we eat Corndogs.! Lots of Corndogs..."

No please... I'll pass. But if you want to join in there are a list of states with events listed; parties I assume in aid of this national celebration (that frankly can stay in the US!).
