Hot Dog Guy "Explains"

Sort of.

Hot Dog Guy's name is Brandon Kelly, and he claims that he was trying to do something "courageous and epic" to inspire Tiger Woods. He says that his inspiration was watching the movie "Drive". (just out a few weeks ago and pretty close to being gone from theaters in my area already) I haven't seen it, so I don't understand how a guy who drives getaway cars is an inspiration to throw a hot dog at a golf tournament.

This genius also thought he could run onto a green occupied by Tiger Woods, armed with a hot dog (no word yet if he had a carry permit...hey..it's California....people think hot dogs are dangerous carcinogens out there), with TV cameras and dozens of still photographers, other media types, and who knows how many other phones with video cameras....and nobody would notice...including the marshals and armed security people....and remain anonymous.

Luckily for Kelly, he was only given a misdemeanor charge of disturbing the peace and released before the crime was fully investigated. Turns out he had posted a picture on his Facebook page of a hot dog in his hand while driving to CordeValle Sunday morning.

Yes - it's true - this was a premeditated weinering.

True - none of this makes sense - and it doesn't seem like Kelly wants to give a full explanation. About all I can see that this does is to reinforce the old joke about California being "the land of fruits and nuts".

He can't give a full explanation...

He still has book and movie rights to negotiate.

lol – will it be a heartfelt, touchy-feely movie starring someone like William Hurt whose “moment” bonds him with the troubled golfer and turns his life around ?

OR – will Hollywood make it an action flick with Wesley Snipes discovering his inner Ninja and breaking into a huge martial arts battle on the green ?

If at first you don't secede, try try again

Maybe it's a Chicago style hotdog...

To protest the demise of the PGA in the Windy City.

BTW: between the two, I would go with Wesley Snipes. He has tax troubles and needs the money.

I ate some of those hot dogs at the tournament on Saturday, and I can understand why someone would want to toss them.

They were charging like 3x the normal price for them, and I wasn’t even sure that they were real beef franks. It certainly wasn’t a Nathan’s dog. They were kind of firm too, I’m sure that Tiger might have gotten injured if the hot dog had actually hit him. Watching Tiger was a bit of a disappointment as well. He wasn’t playing that great and he was being outdriven routinely by Shrek and Bettenbach or whatever that guy’s name was.
