Eat a weenie

Didja see where Joey Chestnut won another Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest yesterday?

He does that a lot.

I won a hot dog eating contest at the Georgia National Fair in Perry some years back. But, since a ten-year-old came in second, I asked them to give him the prize. The knowledge that I was champion weenie eater kinda lost its charm in short order. And, a kid was happy with his prize, so it worked out.

Anyway, Joey Chestnut ended up eating 72 hot dogs and buns in ten minutes. That’s a new record. So, congratulations, I guess.

What about you, though? Do you have any contests that you’re proud of? Or ashamed of? Share, won’t you?

  1. I won an all-you-can-eat Snow Crabs @ Red Lobster once. Woke up the next day with gout and a deformed left elbow. I’m right handed though and lived through it and became an Activist against eating contests unless its a vegetarian eating contest like collard greens or something.
