When you think “Turf Wars” either one of two things pop into mind, a war where the weapons you fight with are clumps of turf and blades of grass.. or you, gangs and cartels fighting over hot spot areas of real estate to establish distribution rights of illegal dealings and such… personally I like the former, it’s got comedy gold written all over it.
I’m surprised it hasn’t been done yet!
But I am sure the very last thing you would think of when some one were to mention Turf Wars” would be, street hotdog vendors.
YES, street hotdog vendors in Los Angeles have made it to the weird wacky and wonderful news this week after one hot dog vendor stabbed another hotdog vendor after an alleged turf war between vendors set up outside a park late Saturday night, witnesses on hand said that the whole situation was … the WURST!
I’m pretty sure only our German and Austrian listeners are giggling at that pun.
if it went over your hear, a wurst is not only a bad thing, for example, “becky is the worst” but worst is also a type of sausage, which plays well to this story, cause you know, wurst the sausage and hot dogs vendors, you get the connection, any way here is what US media had to say (AUDIO)
I just love how the US news reports these stories so dead pan, I know it serious, someone got stabbed in the back, like the Julius Caesar of Hot Dog Turf Wars, and pepper spray was involved, which you know, I hope that was just a lazy cop who was there at the wrong place at the right time using his pepper spray to spice up his hot dog at the time that the fight broke out and he just kept spraying all those around him in a panic because he didn’t want to drop his meal! This has Hollywood comedy skit written ALL over it!
But in good news, apart from the one man being stabbed and a few innocent bystanders being pepper-sprayed, no other serious injuries were repeated.
You can just imagine the newspaper headlines – Things heat up at hot dog stand
