I don't want to be too judgmental here, but it seems to me like enabling other people to eat meat while at the same time practicing vegetarianism will involve a load of cognitive dissonance on the host's part. But I mean, I'm all for free leftover knives...

Is that as in: "I don't want to be too judgmental here, but I'm about to be...?"

Dude, using the word 'but' in any statement automatically renders that which follows to be in direct contradiction to what preceded it. "I really like your dog but she smells like olives" <<

Why do you assume he is vegetarian because of some moral or political or social whatever reason? Can't someone be veggie just because they prefer it over eating meat? sheesh.. damn hippies...

Hell, it just lays the groundwork for someone dumb enough to tell a reporter that they sport a weapon on their belt that has been illegal in Oregon for as long as I've been alive...And works right in front of the courthouse. Hey you and your paradoxical view of hot dogs! You...Uh, You!

Matt - sort of, yes. Please forgive my attempt to apply some logic to the situation. Michelle - your example hardly illustrates a direct contradiction. You can both like a dog and believe that it smells like olives. The but is a qualifier, not a negater. I'm obviously being a little judgmental, because the situation seems weird to me! I wish I knew the facts. Maybe I'll go talk to the guy. badys - no, I don't say. I say small assumption. Most people who are vegetarian are so because of moral/political/social reasons. But if he simply doesn't like the taste of meat or whatever, and then for that reason chooses to absolutely abstain from a taste for 30 years (so that, in part, he can retain the label of identification), then that's sensational. Still - small assumption!

The switchblade knife by itself is not illegal, it is unlawful to carry one concealed upon the person. Knives of any kind are not allowed inside the courthouse.

The guy is nice. I used to buy hotdogs from him when I'd really want to eat one. It only happened once in a while but he was a great deal. Way better than wiked weenie which would charge you like $5.00 for a dog and then extra for the extras. Let the man keep your knives...he plays a mean guitar too.

I went in to drop off my jury duty form a few weeks back and forgot I had my pocket knife on me. I didn't try a dog but I did tip the guy. Thanks hot dog man!

Thanks for a worthy and interesting story, Unpaid Intern. You should get a tip jar.

Please wait...
