“Looked like someone’s…”

“Johnson, get over here! Are you seeing what I’m seeing?!”

    Oh my god… Talk about a nostalgia hit. Do they still give those out?

    Many, many years ago, we were on the road to some skateboarding event, I think some Bones Brigade thing or some big show with the NSA. I remember we were hanging out at a skate shop with some of the guys before the show and the fucking Wienermobile pulled up outside… I was playing the arcade version of Ninja Gaiden when it happened and someone was like “Holy crap, it’s the Wienermobile!” I left my game and we all went out, got to go inside, and they gave us those little crappy whistles.

    When we went back in, I had lost my last life and the game was on the continue screen. I had never played anything other than the NES one, and the continue screen was pretty jarring. I was all out of quarters too, so down went the saw blade…

    I had that whistle forever until one day it just disappeared. My mom probably emptied out the junk in one of my desk drawers and away it went… Sorry for the dump, but man, what a nostalgia trip…

      There is supposed to be a website you can apply for the Wienermobile to come to an event.

      You could get a new one…🌭🎶
