Nathan's Philly Qualifier, Take Three (2008)

Tomorrow I attempt to make it to the IFOCE sanctioned Nathan's Famous July 4th Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, again. This will be my seventh (that's right, 7) attempt at qualifying, and I expect to come in third or possibly fourth. If it's a really good day, I may come in second, but Humble Bob Shoudt is expected to show, and I can't come anywhere close to his total tomorrow. So, I'll go, eat some hot dogs, collect my shirt, and look forward to the Shea Stadium qualifier on June 14 (oh, damn, I let out where I'm going to be) where I will be beaten by Tim "Eater X" Janus.

Wing Bowl 15 Musings

Well, Wing Bowl 15 is now over... congratulations to all the eaters who were permitted to compete. Kudos to Joey, Pat, and Sonya for coming in 1, 2, and 3, even with the possibly questionable judging (like that's anything different for this farce).
