We have BADLY spoiled hot dogs!

The expiration date is 10/12/01. Do you think I should throw them out?

1. Boil anything long enough, it's edible.

2. Toss 'em!

Life is too short -- why make it shorter?

3. *Don't eat them!*

I'm thinking that anything close to three and a half years past the expiration date probably isn't good anymore. Especially hot dogs. Maybe Twinkies would be okay, but not hot dogs.

Damn. What do three and a half year old hot dogs even look like??? They can't look edible! Were they frozen? Even so, you can't keep meat that long in the freezer.

4. freezer or fridge?

Fridge, definitely throw them out. Freezer, I guess it's your call.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
