Steamed natural casing dog, set in a plain steamed bun, Chigo style minus the tomatoes which means slathered with mustard and relish (instead of a pickle spear), and sprinkled with chopped onions and sport peppers. To be at it's best you need fries, the big, fat, softer type is best. but these are bigger and fatter than either. You can even put a few of the fries on the dog itself. Sometimes I will add a little chili, sometimes a little bit of pepper jack cheese for kick, or maybe a little of both. I do not drink soda much anymore, but a good hotdog goes best with ice cold Mountain Dew or a hardy lager if you can have a nip (I am no longer allowed that luxury).

Your wish is granted, but the coffee is cold.
I wish Mila Kunis was sitting on my lap giving me a big hug. (try to make that true and bad, I do not think so)

Yes I would so that she could pass up her previous offer for one more intellectually based. Can I pick another person to come with me to fill the intellectual portion. I like puns.

Yes, but he would have to carry on most of the intelligent portion. I can do the puns though.

Really? It would my first submitted here, so wanted to make sure it might go over well. Thank you for the enthusiastic encouragement.! I appreciate your time to read and post. Thanks again!
This is the main reason this site is here. To share our attempts at verse and prose. Some are better than other, but all are welcome. Speaking as one of the lesser talented on here, there is near endless opportunity to learn and improve. There is a section in the forum for critiquing your work titled Critique Group. If you have any questions about that or anything else, please do not hesitate to ask. Please keep in mind that we have several members that are well published authors. I could mention some names, but I try not to feed their egos too much. (even though they deserve it, yes Alan, Maggie, Yasmin, and others)

Has a tattoo of his avatar on his bottom
That she knows about the tattoo, or is that just scary.

To Submit or Not Submit
That is today's Question?
Leave yourself open
To ridicule and jest
Critics might hate you
Or like you the best
They could pick it apart
Or not at all
They could tell you in private
Or share on your wall
Just because you love it
And think that it’s great
Others might not
And maybe even hate
So make sure your ready
To show what you have done
Because many may like it
But so could no one.

Boy, this is an easy question. Get this posted right away. I am no expert at poetry, but I liked it. Very good job.

Walt Whitman's publishes his collection of poems 'Leaves of Grass.'
Song of Myself
I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
Creeds and schools in abeyance,
Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten,
I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard,
Nature without check with original energy.

Banned for winking at the wrong people!
There is no such thing as a person that should not be winked at, especially a lady. (no Paul, I know you are not a lady)
Banned for picking on people with roses.

Unfortunately they felt so bad for bringing in the wrong people they became depressed and cried, especially the boy scouts.
