As you may know, I am a Canadian expat now living in the US. October marks the 5th anniversary of the date we first crossed the border from northern North American to the land of southern North America.To celebrate this epic anniversary, or Americaversary if you will, we (my wife and I) held a geocaching event in my back yard. We served the most american of foods I could think of: hot dogs.
We called the event "Have a Hot Dog On Me, My Friends", after the Arrogant Worms song, who's chorus goes like this:
"Have a hot dog on me, my friends
It's made from animal odds and ends
Have a hot dog on me, my friends
Its the particle board of meat."
Despite this, many people came out to celebrate:
Here's hoping we'll do the same at the 10th Americaversary. Maybe then we'll add some apple pie as well.
