I eat a couple of hot dogs and I feel bloated.
Not San Jose's Joey Chestnut. Dude hoovered sixty-six tube steaks in twelve minutes, a world record.
Reigning champ Takeru Kobayashi could only cram down sixty-three.
It's a day Americans can be proud of this July 4th. Chestut said it best, holding an American flag in his arms:
"This title's been held by Kobayashi for six years, so it's about time it came home. I knew going into this contest that Kobayashi was going to give 100 percent."
I've got the July 4th spirit now.
Did you see it? The Japanese guy actually started tossing his cookies so they had to recall 3 of his hot dogs. You do realize they award The Mustard Belt to the champ, right?
ReplyDeleteBB and JM went to this spectacular last year.
I didn't see it. I pounced on the news at ESPN.com.
ReplyDeleteYes, I knew about Kobayashi hurling and knew they award the winner The Mustard Belt.
I did not know that BB and JM took it in last year.
I have never, to my knowledge, been two virtual degrees separated from an audience member before.
What a world we live in!
I have nausea. . . Burb. . .
