IF IT LOOKS LIKE A WEINER......

Noble surnames, such as Weiner, evoke images of the ancient homeland of the Austrian people. The original bearer of the name Weiner, once lived, held land, or was born in the beautiful Vienna region of Austria.

Yeah, OK, I've heard of Vienna sausages, I get it.

Just making fun of Weiner's.

U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner, hereinafter referred to as Tony Weiner, was born in Brooklyn, New York. BROOKLYN!!! Are you getting the picture? Growing up in Brooklyn and your name is Weiner? Growing up anywhere when your name is Weiner should be tough enough, but New York City? This guy has got to be one of the toughest SOB's on the planet with all the fights he must have been in, right?
 
Or he could just be another "Weiner" with ears.


Tony Weiner is of course, the guy, or I guess I should say, latest guy, to go Brett Favre with his.....umm....weiner. He apparently sent a sexually explicit photograph of himself to a 21 year old female who follows him on Twitter. Commonly referred to (sadly, in that it's not just sad that it happens, but happens enough to be common)  as "sexting". Now, I don't have a Twitter account and I think it's safe to say I won't be getting one if this is what it means to "tweet".

Tweet this and tweet that, I taught I taw a puddy tat. Nope, that's just another weiner. What is the deal with taking a picture of one's "junk" and sending it to someone you don't even know? I mean, I get why the perv down the street does it, but people in the public eye? A soon to be Hall of Fame NFL quarterback? A freaking United States CONGRESSMAN???

Now, I like my weiner just as much as anybody else but I'm not so bored that I'm sitting here going, "after I write this blog what am I going to do? Camera phone in one hand......coool! Never seen you like that before. Now, erase......oh wait!!! ERASE NOT SEND!!!! CRAP!!!" I just can't comprehend why that would ever cross anyone's mind, let alone an elected official. Especially with technology like it is, what could possibly go wrong?

And it's not like Tony Weiner just got married less than a year ago......oh wait, he did just get married less than a year ago. What a weiner.

And for the love of Pete, if your name is Weiner, please, please, please don't make your kids grow up with that name. School children can be brutal. So can bloggers. Change your name! Winner, Winter, Farve, anything but Weiner. And if you're not going to change it, then at least do NOT name your kid Oscar. Years later telling his psychiatrist, "I wish I wasn't Oscar Meyer Weiner!"

I was wondering how I was going to work that in there.
