I was listening to the good ol’ Don and Mike Show the other day on the way home from work and was surprised to actually hear the word “vegan” make it onto the show. Of course, it was first with a tone of disdain from Mike (”Everyone likes a good steak now and then. But she might be one of those vegans.”) followed by an absolutely baffling statement from Don, along the lines of:
“My nephew is getting married to this girl who’s as vegan as you can be. You know what she had the other night for a snack? A corn dog.”
A vegan that eats corn dogs? Definitely not vegan. That’d be like a self-proclaimed progressive voting for Bush.

24|Apr|2007 2The first thing I thought of was a vegan corn dog, too. An omnivorous observer probably wouldn’t think such things existed.

24|Apr|2007 3I was thinking that might be the case, but something in Don’s tone made me think he was mistaking her for a vegan (ie. maybe he was equating vegan with someone that eats primarily “health food”).
As a side note, I didn’t realize Trader Joe’s has vegan corn dogs. I might have to try those.

24|Apr|2007 4Are the Morningstar Farms corn dogs merely vegetarian and not vegan?

10|Mar|2008 8i can’t believe this guy didn’t get the corndog joke.
and trader joes is evil.. those who believe that junk deserve to be poisoned.
and since when does vegetarian mean different than vegan? vegetarians don’t eat any meat or product of meat.
duh…. ignorance is bliss. these vegetarians who eat meat? dairy? eggs, fish? heh, they’re omnivores ok? sheesh.

13|Mar|2008 10I think (seeing as these radio show hosts are known for being a little risque) that they were not referring to food. They were referring to a sex act (corn dogs, at least around these parts, involve anal sex).

13|Mar|2008 11coocoogallyeyes — er… why not?
Steph — if I recall (and it has been a while), I didn’t get any indication they were alluding to a sex act.
