Joey Chestnut wins!!

A new record, dear Lord!!!
I haven't seen it mentioned much but from the clip I saw on ESPN2 Kobayashi puked.

Earlier post here.

I have heard Curtis Sliwa mention some dog-doping whale blubber enzyme scandal repeatedly over the last several days but can't find any useful info on the matter. Have to attribute it to hot air. He says he came in third years back...but also calls it a "dirty water dog" contest when they are grilled...

And this weekend: The Tour.

Update: Sliwa was not full of hot air. At a press conference Kobayashi admitted to using an enzyme to help his performance. Nothing on the web about it yet though...

However there is a video of Kobayashi in a hot dog eating contest vs. a bear.

Savin Rock

It was like it was a little Coney Island, only bigger, from what they say in the film. The West Haven/Savin Rock fire depts. have a long history as well. Seems just around recessions there was always a big fire taking out a landmark, sadly. The 1938 hurricane destroyed the roller coaster. A local girl won Miss America in 1933, she was only fifteen at the time. They instituted a minimum age not long after.

Well it's almost July 4th, God Bless America, and Coney Island looks like it will recieve a visit from Kobayashi. His condition, was it a ruse, to throw off Joey Chestnut, who just broke a record? Or will he be doping to make it through? Who knew there was an IFOCE?

And who could guess such an innocent face would bely such a ravenous machine? Her specialty is hard boiled eggs. Holy Cool Hand!

She'll be there. The event has seen scandal, this year the suspense is just coming right back up!!
