I cant even comprehend eating 10 hot dogs at a sitting. Just thinking about it, I can taste the last Nathan's hot dog I ate.

I'm afraid I might suffer "a reversal".... urp..

I'm a vegetarian, so 1 hotdog would be to many for me. Still though 66. :eek: My guess is he'd have to regurgitate those hotdogs after the competition. That much meat can't be good for you.

You're assuming what goes into a hotdog could actually be considered meat

it was probably non-cheap hotdogs so they didn't taste like ass.
Boiled hotdogs = ass.

I'm pretty sure its the standard Nathan's Hot Dog with natural casing- fried on a grill.

A dozen in one day and I'd have a that horrible garlic-grease indigestion.

66 in 12 minutes though? I have to imagine the contestants deliberately vomit afterwards. Trying to digest that amount cant be satisfying or comfortable.

It looks like he starved himself over a period of months to prepared for the competition.

That would seem counter-productive. Most competitive eaters try to eat as much as they can leading up to it to distend their stomachs as much as possible.

"meat" is such a vague term. almost as vague as beef.

Lips, assholes, eyelids, all the connective tissues,flies in the shit on the cow's tail when it was slaughtered may fall into that category too.

I learned that in competitive eating lingo, its called a "reversal".

And thats funny.

I love boiled hot dogs!

Last night the Mrs. and I watched a King of the Hill episode about competetive eating. It was hilarious. She told me that she heard that the top eater in the world had to sit it out or was not expected to win on this most recent eating event because he had something like carpal tunnel of the jaw except that it was not carpal tunnel that is just how the news guy explained it.

This is such a bizarre "sport" it has to be pretty darn unhealthy. Wierd stuff.

I saw the same episode!

Personally, I think that proffesional eating is a joke, and was disgusted when I saw the hotdog eating contest. I almost puked it was so bad.
But I am glad that America won!:D

Silly me. I thought this was going to be about an American's adventures in China and Korea.

I thought it would be canine dogs the title was referring to

*L* I just stole the title MSNBC used

Yeah- contestants ate Paris Hilton's dog & several others in a contest- I'd like that

its called a "reversal".


Sounds kinky.

The most hotdogs I can eat is 3... and that's in about half an hour or so...

Hot dogs are awesome.


This has been a public service announcement.


Srsly though, 11 seconds per hot dog? Eesh.

Go ahead. It's not mine anyway, I stole it from another Generalite.

Curtis Sliwa thinks they used eating hormones. I personally have no idea how they do it. I do think that dunking them in water is cheating though. The best I can do in one sitting so far is 8 at last count.

That was bad...very bad.

The nasty meat crown is now back where it belongs. God Bless Amerika :D

Since when is eating considered a "sport"? Oh right... it's America. Anything goes! :)

Damn, I was going make Korean joke ... never mind. :D

He ate 66 dogs? Oh! That's how Kirk beat the Kobayashi Maru Scenario.

At least you caught the reference!

And the six time champ was a Japanese. Go figure!

Awesome.

I see you beat me to it.

"Mr. Sulu, red alert!"

Khaaaaaaaaan!

Hurray for my third favorite sin!

Behind Wrath and Lust.

One good thing about Gluttony- it usually negates Lust.

When you have 66 hot dogs in your belly, you may not feel very horny for a while.
And girls generally dont dig guys stuffed with wieners.

..if you know what I mean...

66 hotdogs? Damn, that's a lot. I don't see how you can eat that many without your belly rupturing.

heh heh alright.

they actually have to flex their abs to get the food down into their lower intestines, that is why they are always jumping up and down!

I would be more tempted to call this a sport if it was part of some sort of post-modern triathlon - eating, running a half marathon, and maybe some shooting.

I bet the contestants are pleasant to be around after the contest.

I imagine that to be a real treat for all the senses.

The only reason it's not considered a sport outside America is that you can use your hands.

at the end of the contest, the japanese guy blew chow...was very disgusting:eek:

I'm so disgusted by the whole concept of "eating contests." I mean seriously-- we claim to care about third world starvation, and about rising obesity rates, and then we pull crap like eating contests that essentially glorify wasting food and conspicuous consuption. Then we wonder why the 'evil people' hate us for our decadent society and for trying to export our culture to the rest of the world :-P
