Asleep at the switch...

Couldn't find any coverage of today's loss to Chicago. So I"ll talk about something else.

VERNOR'S

Everyone gets a few rextra thing about their hometown they love beyond reason. Among mine are Vernor's and Coney's. You cosmopolitan types can have ginger ale and chili dogs, but both pale in comparison to the sacred mix of strong bubbly Vernor's and a real natural casing dog with great chili. While I only treat myself to them occasionally, I will go out of my way from time to time for them.

For the great unwashed, Vernor's is to ginger ale what nuclear weapon are to firecrackers. It is NOT in the same league. Most GA's are so effete and delicate, the ice in them destroys it. Vernor's can stand up to any food. (All BBQ goes better with Vernors.)

Coney's, the way Detroit makes 'em. Not to downplay all the great dogs of the world, I'd even pass the sublime well made Chicago dog for a fresh from the grill coney. (Or how about together....hmmmmmm....that has potential.)
