Fun: Hot Dog’s aren’t Hot Dogs or…

[Hot Dogs]I’ve just come across this picture and I think we need to step up the educational programme in a number of countries. (click on the picture to enlarge)

At a minimum, we need to explain that hot dogs aren’t really dogs that are hot. And I’m not talking about good looking dogs either. I’m talking about hot dogs that aren’t hot dogs. You know – dogs. As in the animal. And hot dogs as in the not animal type thing. Not a hot dog hot dog as in the picture. But they aren’t hot dog hot dogs any way, just dogs that look like hot dogs – but I suppose someone that really loves dogs a lot will think those two dogs are hot so I suppose they could be hot dog hot dogs.

Actually – I think I need to at least learn English or cut down on my drinking (I’ve only had one bottle of alcohol to drink today – it’s only Wednesday anyway)

Guess That Movie: XXI: The Cure

[Guess That Movie Round 21]Well, Ph33r_m3 is now guaranteed a prize worth at least £5 – he’s managed to pass the 500 points mark by correctly recognising the previous Guess That Movie image as being taken from the third movie in the Die Hard trilogy: Die Hard with a Vengeance (UK visitors can order it on DVD from [Order from Amazon.co.uk] – the more orders of movies and the more donations to the blog mean I can offer more and larger prizes!).

I’m still puzzled quite how Kymberlie recognised the Hackers picture, but hopefully she’ll be back from her little fish bowl to have a guess at this image.

This image is slightly tricker as it’s been taken from an “old” black and white (or, if you prefer, monochrome) film (and, unlike the Dr.Strangelove screen shot, I haven’t bothered to colourise it) – but have a go and see if you can recognise which movie it is.

To guess, just leave a little comment with your name (or alias), your email address (which is for MY use only – it is not displayed anywhere on the blog NOR will it be disclosed to third parties) and the name of the movie you think the screen shot/image capture is taken from. Please do not attempt to multi-guess movies (by including them all in a single comment) or repeat guess (by posting multiple comments): these may be removed or I might just say “Well – the first one is wrong, I’m not saying anymore”.

Simple rules and simple prize structure (each image is worth 100 points: 500 points and above get you a prize, but after each wrong guess the points of an image go down by 5 points. The image also decreases in value by 10 after the first 12 hours of posting and also decreases by 10 points after every 24 hours from the post time).

Go on – get guessing!

Update: Wednesday, 5th February 2003:It seems no one has yet plucked up the courage to even make a guess at this image (it was originally posted on Monday 3rd at 22:33) – so I’ve added a couple more clues: read on…
