Way to chow, Joey!!!

Kobayashi is the same he's ever been, maybe even a little better... he still put down 59 HDB in 10 minutes - that's TWICE what the World Record was a mere 12 years ago...

Joey Chestnut is just simply (slightly) better. Dude is a true freek...

I want a shot at him!! He'd kill me, but I want to see what I could do. (Just like I've always wanted to box Mike Tyson)

You too!? Mine was I never really wanted to box him, just have him punch me.

I also wanted to play in the NBA simply to punch Shaq in the jaw as hard as I could just to see what happened...

I never wanted to have Tyson hit me, I wanted to BOX him... I have a good left jab. I figured if Buster Douglas could lay it on him, I could too!!! (Plus, I have more reach than Buster)

forgot to finish the original thought...

The guy whose NBA career consists of 3 minutes played and one socking of Shaq would NEVER be forgotten!!!

But that was when he was a Laker. Now that he's a Phoenix Sun I'm "cool" with him...

yeah, I mean, he still downed over 60 HDBs. That's still amazing. He just couldn't down those last 5 as fast as Joey.

You said the right thing, SSR. Holy crap! What did I just say???

Happy 4th of July Manny. :)

Dude, it's a guy eating hotdogs, don't get a heart attack. (Unintentional pun)

My kids won't eat "hot dogs" but they LOVE "Meat Fingers" (well marketed by Dad, they become bloody meat fingers with a little ketchup)... My daughter even told me - "Dad, meat fingers taste a little like hot dogs but meat fingers are good and hot dogs are yucky."

I've won a few eating competetions (mostly pies of various flavors) but I think I could push 30 or more HDB with a longer time limit. During my foray in the Tampa Press box I probably ate 20 dogs...

With food, I'm a volume guy, not a speed guy... give me 3-4 pitchers of beer and a bushel of Blue Claw crabs and I'm quiet and happy ALL DAY!

But with liquids (read: beer), I'm all about speed...

I really NEED to do the Gallon of Milk challenge soon...

I guess I have a fast metabolism -- so I eat fourteen small things throughout the day.

Unless it's cereal. I can pound like four bowls of cereal, as long as it's a good kind. I'm still pissed they stopped making Rice Krispy Treat Cereal. Twas the best cereal ever made.

You can "pound" cereal... nice!

I had a fast metabolism growing up so I ate everything I could and never gained weight. It was tough. I was bone skinny and yet eating 7-10,000 calories a day and working out like a madman - and got stronger, but stayed skinny. Shakes, 12-egg omelettes, whole pizzas, whole chickens, whole containers of ice cream, etc.

Then I got a job at a desk, turned 30 and had kids... Metabolism has slowed, but not by much... I simply "ejoy" food more now than just inhale it. Now I skip the shakes (for the most part), eat only 8 egg omelettes, 3/4 of a pizza and half a container of ice cream...

I'm one of those dudes that ensures the entire table "breaks even" at the buffet...

It's not like I'm a pig, it's just that I'm a big dude living in a small dude's world....

Your comment just made me very hungry.
