[edit] Danger dog
Hoax. Can't find any refernces in Google Nv8200p talk 22:43, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - try this search [1]. Hrm. Other than a couple of blogs [2] and [3], and one hell of a lot of self-referencing Wikipedia mirrors (or else places that got their research from Wikipedia), it was hard to find it. One thing though: It would likely be "danga dog" rather than "Danger". What I mean is that it wouldn't be pronounced Danger. It'd be pronounced "danga" as in banger, which is the British/Australian slang term for sausage. This is likely the problem. Logically, it makes sense that "danga" would be a slang term for hot dog, as it would be based on "banger" for sausage. Hot dogs are basically a type of sausage, so it all adds up nicely. "Danger dog" as in "dangerous", though, is hard to believe. I was doing other searches but I got tired. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 06:42, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

- Delete Hoax, or at the very least uncyclopedic. Agnte 14:18, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect to I Am Furious Yellow. The current text is some sort of hoax, but "Danger Dog" was the inspiration for Bart Simpson to create the character "Angry Dad" in Simpsons episode #DABF13 (I am Furious Yellow). Movementarian 21:43, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
- That's talking about a dog - as opposed to a hot dog. I think that that's the confusion. There is also a TV show called Danger Dog as well that I picked up on the google check. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 02:05, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
- Weak keep. This is actually a known type of hot dog, albeit restricted to this small part of Mexico. There are some indications on the Hot dog page that this is now being sold in Los Angeles. Jtmichcock 22:07, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
