Unfortunately, the ongoing bailout scandal/saga/Nightmare on Wall Street has blotted the truly important news from the news cycle.
In this case - found via the Bacon Unwrapped blog (a true national treasure) - we found… (wait for it)… The Bacon-and-Maple-Bar-Wrapped Hot Dog:
Hmmmmm, bacon (and maple bars)
How about it Undergrounders? Culinary madness, or simply another Underground Sign of the Apocalypse?

This appeals to a sick puppy like myself, everything the doctor told you to avoid in one bite. Sounds marvelous, me want.

Beware the slaw dog!

Does this use day old maple bars or fresh ones? Using day olds would bring the level way up - let’s not waste our resources after all…..

Day old, for sure. Maybe a couple days, and stored in the window too.

To think guides need little more than simple first aid training to get their license, when what they really need is a two-week intensive EMT course.
I know my next business now - building and selling defibrillation systems that fit into wading vest pockets.

I’ve been outed: this post is simply a precursor to the launching of the Underground’s latest product - the “Streamside Angioplasty Kit.”
Yes, you to can perform an angioplasty on yourself - right by the river you’re fishing!
Why pay outrageously priced heart surgeons to do what anyone with the ability to use simple tools can do yourself?
You save on doctor bills. Hospital bills. Outrageously priced ambulance rides. And why pay $52 for a Tylenol in the hospital when you’ve got a whole bottle of the things at home?
Call now - operators are standing by!

seems to me based on your previous economic summaries on the state of fly fishing, that the only other people able to afford sharing the river may be doctors/surgeons.
So next time you choke down a bacon dog on-stream, be nice to the guy next to you and offer him up some flies non-gratis . He may putting in your stint streamside with a size 12 #18528 Togen scud hook and Rio 7x fluoroflex tippet.

Economy in ruins. Financial markets worldwide collapsing. The supercollider in France creating black holes under the Earth’s surface. Global warming. Homelessness on the rise… and now bacon wrapped maple dogs…
Get your lives in order, friends. It is, indeed, a sign of the end… ;)

JP: I’d ask for a discount first.
Matt: At the Underground - World Leader in Documenting the Signs of the Coming Apocalypse - we can only agree.
