Let me clarify a little bit. Check out my hot dog buns. One of the ladies in the office worked a food booth at an arts festival last weekend. Apparently there were tons of hot dog buns left, so just about everyone here got a few packages. I took two – 24 buns – and then sort of wondered why.
The Cutlet eats hot dogs, but goes bunless when he does. I'm not on a low-carb diet, but still I wondered what I'd do with all those buns. Here's 10 ideas I had:
1. Although I missed the chance at Easter, a bun split in half can become a nifty set of bunny ears when paper-clipped to your hair.
2. I ate one bun with a hot dog in it, and clearly this seems what they are designed for. Who knew?
3. Scrambled some eggs the other morning and toasted, buttered and strawberry-preserved a bun to go with them. Yummy!
4. Used a bun to make a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich. Compact and stylish!
5. Took No. 3 a step further this morning and made French toast with some hot dog buns. The wife called it "trailer toast" apparently because it looked like a Trailer Park thing to do. I say if that's the case, people in trailer parks are pretty resourceful. It was delicious.
6. I put one in my pocket and went around asking the Petite Filet, "Is that a bun in my pocket or am I just glad to see you?"
7. Threw a hot dog bun outdoors really hard to see how far it would go. A sudden gust of wind picked it up and it's now in Mexico. Muy bueno!
8. I stuck a popsicle stick into a bun and taped a napkin to it to make a little hot dog bun boat. It sank rather quickly. In the event of a water landing, a hot dog bun cannot be used as a flotation device.
9. I wrote my crazy uncle's address on a bun and stuck a stamp to it. After cramming it into the mail slot at the post office, I realized I forgot to put my name on it! Oh well, if he gets it, I bet he will figure the Texas postmark and the fact that only me out of his three nephews would try such a thing means it's a T-Bone production.
10. I've always wanted some crazy thing to stick to my truck's radio antenna. I thought, "Why not stick a hot dog bun on it?" My apologies to that dude in the green Camry behind me yesterday whose car got bunned when the thing slipped off.
The saddest thing about all this? I've still got more than one package of hot dog buns left! Any suggestions?

how about strap four on your dog and take him out water skiing?
landscaping options...temorary...good for the environment....conversation items...stack them around beds...could create a trend.
OH!! what was that one movie??? the most unique thing ever with a hot dog bun...was it BACHELOR PARTY??...with tom hanks...do you remember what he did with that dog bun? there's an option. the PF might really get a hoot outta that!
you are so funny.
How about feeding the birds?
Too bad they're not potatoes, because then I could suggest something involving a pvc pipe, hairspray and a match. (Yes, I'm a redneck). Let us know if the bun arrives in the mail!
My fave was #6... following PF around saying is that a bun in my pocket...?
