I was tuned in as Joey Chestnut defended his world title against the onslaught of Teveru Kobayashi, setting a new world record in a match that wasnt decided until the last seconds
It was humorous but disgusting,---and very.....american------a good thing for he fourth
Where exactly does someone put 68 hotdogs and buns? How do they force in two at a time and just jam em down like that over and over ?? :o
I dont think I could eat 68 hot dogs in 2 or 3 years, never mind 10 minutes...
my mother cooked up about a dozen or more hot dogs which were not eaten. Now we had a cocker spaniel.. it wasn't really large or anything..
she fed this character one hot dog at a time.. I think it "blew her mind" (well, it was the early sixties..) that this dog could consume one cold, frigid hot dog after another.. and so many.. probably a pound and a half, or two, of the said hot dogs..
well.. we were camping. This explains the multitude of hot dogs..
but we were invited to stay at a friends house. Where indeed did the said hot dogs really go..
the next morning, one could follow a trail, where said dog which gorged in hot dogs went..
ooohhh, come on outintexas...hotdogs, popcorn, peanuts, crackerjacks, bbq, apple pie. The top 3 winners of this contest are not obese. I was surprised the one hefty dude was not ranked.
There ain't no rules how we celebrate our freedom, day in and day out, unless you want to blow off somebody else's hand.
In 2006, Americans ate enough hot dogs at major league ballparks to stretch from RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. to AT&T Park in San Francisco.
New Yorkers eat more hot dogs than any other city population (even Chicago, also known for its hot dogs).
Travelers at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport eat six times more hot dogs than travelers at Los Angeles International Airport and LaGuardia Airport combined.
Hot dog season -- during which Americans eat 7 billion hot dogs -- stretches from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Americans eat 150 million hot dogs on the fourth of July, alone
nor does the drunken use of explosives--but it seems to be a tradition for some reason
As Craig Ferguson said on the Boston Pops fireworks show, "We're gonna celebrate in true American style - by makin' a lot of noise and blowin' stuff up!"

We need some kind of modern interpretation of archaic laws..
If it is consumed withing greater than 5000 cubits of one's standing residence, it does not count.

I never understood the appeal of such things. I prefer to enjoy my food when I eat it.

It's just gross.
In this age of obesity, a hot dog eating contest doesn't seem very appropriate on our nation's birthday.

hot dogs.. hot dogs..
It reminds me of a time..
my mother cooked up about a dozen or more hot dogs which were not eaten. Now we had a cocker spaniel.. it wasn't really large or anything..
she fed this character one hot dog at a time.. I think it "blew her mind" (well, it was the early sixties..) that this dog could consume one cold, frigid hot dog after another.. and so many.. probably a pound and a half, or two, of the said hot dogs..
well.. we were camping. This explains the multitude of hot dogs..
but we were invited to stay at a friends house. Where indeed did the said hot dogs really go..
the next morning, one could follow a trail, where said dog which gorged in hot dogs went..
we were NEVER invited back. Not that I remember..

Mustard.. I live for mustard..
The cat does not get mustard..
*They* (cats) demand that I wake up at seven AM..
*they* must be fed..
well.. one waits. Until about 8 or so..
It requires eggs..
