World's Greatest Innovation: 'Star Wars'-Inspired Hot Dog Rack
Saturday, January 3, 2009 at 6:17AM
Damn you, Christmas, why'd you have to come and go already? This item would've absolutely been at the top of my list this past year. Sigh...
How many times have you asked yourself at a cookout, "What would
George Lucas do?" Well, for starters, if he wanted to be polite, he put some sort of hair net around that rangy beard of his if he were manning the grill. And you know Lucas would be in charge of that detail. In fact, as tasty as the hot dogs and burgers might be, I think we both realize they'd be surprisingly thin on story construction.
But he might also think to perfectly cook the franks on the wings of an X-Wing fighter. Introducing the
Weenie Wing Commander, which for obvious copyright reasons, can't invoke the actual name of its very obvious shape. It's a great idea, better than some weird disappearing alien colony in the jungles of South America, anyway.

Now because it only cooks two franks at a time, you might need to buy a whole squadron. Just think, you can command Wedge Antilles, Luke Skywalker, and of course, Porkins, as they fight The Dark Side of any cookout: The douchebag killjoy who brought tofu dogs and black bean burgers. And at the low, low price of $19.95 at
Roast My Weeine, you'll still have money left over for an R2-D2 cooler.
