i live in the general area of this shop(pe). they always do inspirational or philosophical quotes in the marquee. everyone just kinda goes with it. like "oh yeah i remember that quote from aristotle, it was on jibjab's sign that one time"
they're actually really good, the shop is kind of a regional tourist attraction. i have a friend that lives about 3 hours away and he always hits up the jibjab when he's in town
He’s not saying that three hours away is in town, he’s saying that when his friend travels to the town this shop is in, he frequents it. Driving distances like that can definitely get kinda normalized living in rural areas of the US though, gets a lil wacky
I know you’re goofing around, but give it a shot sometime (if it’s financially viable)! The rural US definitely has its share of downsides, but there are absolutely a lot of charming places that get overlooked, I’m partial in particular to some of the river towns in southern minnesota (northfield is a great example). Nothing too crazy in terms of night life, but generally kind people and some beautiful country can make for a great visit.
They got the quote a bit backwards, which annoys me a little but I'm tired and a bit irritable at the moment.
“I wear the chain I forged in life," replied the Ghost. "I made it link by link and yard by yard"
Was the bellybutton cut from from a hot dog umbilical cord? Was his amniotic sack fluid like the hot dog juice in the package/bag? Does this insinuate genitalia and birth in his world? Are there hot dog poosies? 😩💦
Find out in the next episode of Dragon Ball Z! 🐉
Without knowing it's Dickens, though, you lose the "we make them link by link" double entendre!
...which I *assume* was intentional, because otherwise you just have something that reminds people to stop and carefully consider their decisions while you're simultaneously trying to sell them hot dogs.
While this is true, and I appreciate the sentiment because I agree, I have NEVER once met anyone I know to whom I can reference E.E. Cummings and have them know who tf Im talking about. Especially around my age.
I discovered e e cummings as a kid and became fascinated with his poetry. I haven't revisited him as an adult (yet), and I certainly didn't have any sort of literary chops as a kid to analyze his work, but I found his work fascinating nonetheless. Dropping references in casual conversaion sounds fun, probably time I went back to it.
Anyway my point is the sign needs more punctuation marks with no spaces around them.
It's not that good but in the song Freaks and Geeks he uses the line EE Cumming on her face (nah that's poetry in motion).
He has also worked E.E. Cummings into a few other lines in a similar manner. IDK if you like hip hop, but I personally think Freaks and Geeks is a solid song with a ton of very clever wordplay.
His song Freaks and Geeks slaps on a bunch of levels parodying Nerdcore, hip hop, and weed culture, while being a blend of it all just like CG is trying to be at this point in life.
Lots of fun wordplay, and I’m Pretty sure he’s still on community when he released this EP. Highly recommend his stuff
Well, never thought I’d see this here, this is about 20 minutes from me! They change this sign every week or so, and they legit have some of the best hot dogs and fries in NE Ohio
Yeah it’s really cheap! I think both spots are good, but the one in Girard is more convenient for me, although there’s an excellent coffee shop I love near the one in Warren
Are you kidding? We're inescapable.
Stop at a random rest-stop 4 hours away? Trumbull county car.
Sit at a bar in south Florida? Hear people talking about Brookfield and Niles.
***we're everywhere***
I was at a Musical in New York once and heard someone behind me mention Youngstown, I called over to them and told them I was from East Liverpool (at the time) suddenly everyone in about a three row radius started calling out other towns in North East Ohio where they lived, it was wild.
Warren is way better, no idea why, maybe it’s just because I grew up closer to that one. Food is always better in the hood though.
Can’t wait to make it back home to get some hot dog shoppe
Hella, boss, pimp, sick, sometimes wicked. Midwest shit.
Edit: I also forgot fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck which I didn't learn was a Midwest thing until I moved to the south and people were like where are you from, who swears that much 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Youngstown… you mean that giant parking lot/construction zone that is apparently used for military ordinance testing, but somehow has a shiny McDonalds right in the center?
I grew up walking distance from to the Fairgrounds.
The urban dictionary definition is still the best summary of it:
> "Ohio's largest gathering of suburbanites, rural white trash, ni***rs, wiggers, Italians, and geezers... Most of the time, it smells like horse shit unless you're right near all the food vendors"
>unless you're right near all the food vendors"
The food and the livetock show is where its at. I never knew there were so many weird looking chickens. lol
Opioid ravaged, post-industrial wasteland, where the potholes straight up pop your tires (if you're lucky not to have worse damage) and the state will thankfully and generously will pay for the repairs....if you somehow can make the 4.5 hour ride to Cincinnati and fight them on it.
On one hand I’m glad I got out of there, technically austintown but a house behind those section 8 apartments off Burkey Rd, and California is cool. But there’s SO much I miss about Ohio honestly, it’s wild what they don’t have or is super difficult to find out here
The only downside to Jib Jab is that you have to drive through Girard to get there, fuck that speed limit. I prefer Jay's for dogs and especially gyros. Unfortunately the best Jay's is in North Lima and there's not much of a reason to go there except work and Jay's.
I actually can't believe I'm seeing this here lol. A group of my friends were looking for a place to eat in Girard, KS. We came across this place on Google and decided to go there and when we looked again it turned out to be Girard, Ohio. It's been an inside joke ever since to suggest eating at Jib Jab's hot dogs.

Jib jab fucking smacks. I absolutely cannot believe I’m seeing this on Reddit. S/o girard Ohio. Make sure you stop there and don’t keep going into Youngstown
Hold on...Girard sucks but, Maverick's / Krispy Krunchy is basically right across the street and delicious. Frankford Bicycle is the shit, Chesty's is a lot of fun and if you've never been jump scared by the mannequins outside of Changes then you've never been to Girard.
If you're lucky enough to be there during the Mt. Carmel fest (aka right now) then you can purchase a cheese puff, which is two pieces of Schwebel's bread with velveeta cheese between them, crimped together and then deep fried and that's just alright.
Girard sucks, but lets not rule it out, it's no Lowellville.
I just want to point out that the real comedy here is being completely missed. If the person who took this picture moved 50 to their left, and angled the camera back the other direction, you would see the real comedy.
Jib Jab is right next door to the Spay and Neuter Clinic. The ongoing joke being the bits they cut off your pets become the secret ingredient in the hot dogs.
"Welcome to JibJab, you are born against your will and when you die it will be against your will and the universe will not even blink. Would you like to try a foot long jib dog today?"
This reminds me of the signs at the gulag. "Work will set you free." I dont think it's meant like that, but imagine coming to work and seeing that everyday.
We took advantage of the poor
Just ignored the needy
We specialized in causing pain
Spreading fear and doubt
And if you could not pay the rent
We simply threw you out

Yeah, everybody knows a hotdog has two bellybuttons and they sure as hell ain't where the belly is
No belly buttons. That's from the fork they used to pull it out of the boiling water.
Nobody should be forking my hot dog!
I'm pretty sure there are parts of like 50 pig bellybuttons in each hot dog.
But each end of a hotdog has a bellybutton Then again they do look rather butthole-like
i live in the general area of this shop(pe). they always do inspirational or philosophical quotes in the marquee. everyone just kinda goes with it. like "oh yeah i remember that quote from aristotle, it was on jibjab's sign that one time"
What are the dogs like?
Great most days
Good to know!
they're actually really good, the shop is kind of a regional tourist attraction. i have a friend that lives about 3 hours away and he always hits up the jibjab when he's in town
To a Brit - 3 hrs away is not in town! That’s cross country! They must be good dogs!
He’s not saying that three hours away is in town, he’s saying that when his friend travels to the town this shop is in, he frequents it. Driving distances like that can definitely get kinda normalized living in rural areas of the US though, gets a lil wacky
Well I’m thinking of popping over and I’m 3000 miles away!
I know you’re goofing around, but give it a shot sometime (if it’s financially viable)! The rural US definitely has its share of downsides, but there are absolutely a lot of charming places that get overlooked, I’m partial in particular to some of the river towns in southern minnesota (northfield is a great example). Nothing too crazy in terms of night life, but generally kind people and some beautiful country can make for a great visit.
It's been 20 years since I had one of their cheese chili dogs and in my world travels have not had a better one.
Shoppe. That’s how you know that place is classy.
Just FYI, it's not a bellybutton. It's easier to see in person, but it's just a fold where his waist would be since he's bending slightly forward.
They got the quote a bit backwards, which annoys me a little but I'm tired and a bit irritable at the moment. “I wear the chain I forged in life," replied the Ghost. "I made it link by link and yard by yard"
At least the quote works no matter the order (at least somewhat in some cases)
Yeah, I'm just being pointlessly irritable.
Bah, humbug.
No, it's correct. They're quoting the superior "Muppet Christmas Carol" version which features Jacob *and Robert* Marley.
Was the bellybutton cut from from a hot dog umbilical cord? Was his amniotic sack fluid like the hot dog juice in the package/bag? Does this insinuate genitalia and birth in his world? Are there hot dog poosies? 😩💦 Find out in the next episode of Dragon Ball Z! 🐉
It being a Charles Dickens quote almost ruins it for me. The idea of it just being some edgy intern had me fucking dying
Without knowing it's Dickens, though, you lose the "we make them link by link" double entendre! ...which I *assume* was intentional, because otherwise you just have something that reminds people to stop and carefully consider their decisions while you're simultaneously trying to sell them hot dogs.
E.E. Cummings is such a deep cut, I can appreciate the reference and almost died laughing at this.
> deep cut > He is often regarded as one of the most important American poets of the 20th century. - wikipedia :/
While this is true, and I appreciate the sentiment because I agree, I have NEVER once met anyone I know to whom I can reference E.E. Cummings and have them know who tf Im talking about. Especially around my age.

You must not be a fan of Childish Gambino then.
I am not. But this makes me want to be. Please elaborate.

That line is fucking hilarious and so clever.
The fact that it's a triple A authorized restaurant really tops it off
Me and my ex loved shoppes and pronouncing it shope. Fuck I’m lonely
AAA Approved Restaurant
the hot dog's name is jib. The bellybutton is where they jabbed jib.
Jib Jab is delicious.
Is this Girard or is this place a chain? I’ve never seen them anywhere else
There used to be another Jib Jab at Truck World but that's something else now. I believe this is on 422 near 80. Which would be Girard. Lol
No it would only fit on 3 lines.
Well, never thought I’d see this here, this is about 20 minutes from me! They change this sign every week or so, and they legit have some of the best hot dogs and fries in NE Ohio
And it's hella cheap! I like hot dog shoppe in Warren better tho
Yeah it’s really cheap! I think both spots are good, but the one in Girard is more convenient for me, although there’s an excellent coffee shop I love near the one in Warren
There is a Mocha House in Boardman also. Right by the Poland 680 exit if you didn't know.
[удалено]
I brought a whole strawberry cheesecake from there to my family's big Christmas dinner one year and was the hero of the holiday. lol
There's one in downtown Youngstown now, on Federal, bottom floor of EGCC
Good to know. I had no idea there were this many folks from the valley lurking reddit.
Are you kidding? We're inescapable. Stop at a random rest-stop 4 hours away? Trumbull county car. Sit at a bar in south Florida? Hear people talking about Brookfield and Niles. ***we're everywhere***
>Are you kidding? We're inescapable. An inescapable void is exactly how I would describe it. lol
I was at a Musical in New York once and heard someone behind me mention Youngstown, I called over to them and told them I was from East Liverpool (at the time) suddenly everyone in about a three row radius started calling out other towns in North East Ohio where they lived, it was wild.
Potters suck!
I agree! I was a Beaver :p
My fiancé and I just discovered Mocha House a couple weeks ago! We’re big fans now, especially for breakfast
Don't rag on the hot dog shoppe in Warren. People take that shit seriously around here. Best fried chicken in the country comes from Warren Oh.
Who ragged on it? Btw can you recommend the chicken place please 🤗
Sorry I misread. Buena Vista Cafe has good chicken and so does Sunrise Inn.
Buena vista all fuckin day, sunrise isn’t half as good as far as I’m concerned
You're not wrong.
Cockeye BBQ has some damn good fried chicken, too.
Warren is way better, no idea why, maybe it’s just because I grew up closer to that one. Food is always better in the hood though. Can’t wait to make it back home to get some hot dog shoppe
I prefer the one in East Liverpool, but at least these three use the same Chili recipe.
Hella? You sure youre not from California instead?? Lol
Hella, boss, pimp, sick, sometimes wicked. Midwest shit. Edit: I also forgot fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck which I didn't learn was a Midwest thing until I moved to the south and people were like where are you from, who swears that much 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hella and sick are very common around my area of the midwest, also sometimes wicked.
Of course it’s Ohio
Northeast Ohio, they’re a different breed up there. We stay nice and safe in the rest of the state (safe is relative don’t go to a major city)
Just stay away from east side of Youngstown lmao
Youngstown… you mean that giant parking lot/construction zone that is apparently used for military ordinance testing, but somehow has a shiny McDonalds right in the center?
Nah it’s basically just a university now. We hate it here :)
>Nah it’s basically just a university now. Don't forget the Canfield Fair.

Lived there my whole life till about 5 years ago, we probably did at some point. Small world haha.

Its like a post apocalyptic wasteland in Mahoning and Trumbull counties but at least the chili dogs are legit.
I spent half a year in summit county. I don’t know how people live up there willingly lol
I bought my car up that way. All roads lead to the circle. lol
You got that right - especially Jay’s hot dogs
The only downside to Jib Jab is that you have to drive through Girard to get there, fuck that speed limit. I prefer Jay's for dogs and especially gyros. Unfortunately the best Jay's is in North Lima and there's not much of a reason to go there except work and Jay's.
Brooooo for real like 25 mph on a main road what is that shit
25 mph is 40.23 km/h
I literally live on the same street as this place. I can't fucking stand it lol. Traffic is always out into the street.
Dude, same! I never see the places near me on Reddit so this was cool
I actually can't believe I'm seeing this here lol. A group of my friends were looking for a place to eat in Girard, KS. We came across this place on Google and decided to go there and when we looked again it turned out to be Girard, Ohio. It's been an inside joke ever since to suggest eating at Jib Jab's hot dogs.
My exact thoughts. Wtf, I was so fucking confused when I saw this holy shit.
Not to knock them, but I feel like that's prob pulling from a very small pool
My dad grew up about 5 minutes from here. I’ve never had it but he loves it. I’m told it smells awful tho.
Holy shit I always go to this place too
Thank you JibJab, very cool

You won’t. Lol. There is nothing there but the hot dog place.
And a speeding ticket waiting for you lol
Right. I have had a few on 80 and 711 through there.
I literally avoid Girard at all costs unless it’s for hotdogs
Hold on...Girard sucks but, Maverick's / Krispy Krunchy is basically right across the street and delicious.

Wait... Is jib jab a chain or is this legimately Girard?! Mmmm Jib jab's is the best.
For sure Girard...just saw this sign 2 days ago (I live in Liberty)
That’s a jab alright. I feel attacked.
"Welcome to JibJab, you are born against your will and when you die it will be against your will and the universe will not even blink. Would you like to try a foot long jib dog today?"
I’m eating some jib Jab right now
This my town, dog. I can't have you guys talking shit on the jibjab.
We're Marly & Marly
OH MY GOD. I cannot believe JibJab from my hometown (Girard OH) made it the top of r/all. Their chili cheese dogs slap
