Chestnut’s feasting on an open ‘dog’
Mus-tard nipping on your nose
Ugly wet buns being flung down in a fog
And folks dressed up like Nathan pose

Everybody knows Koba-yashi, he will show
Help to make the contest bright
Drunken sots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to watch this sight

They know that Joey’s on his way
He’s practiced lots and he’s also here today
And every mother’s child is going to come by
To see if Joey really can win and not die

And so I’m offering this simple fray
To viewers, one to ninety-two
Although it’s been hurled, many times many ways
That very contest….very contest….made me blew.

I think that works out to be almost one dog every twelve seconds. Good grief.
How does one train to eat tube steaks? Who’s the trainer? Paris H? Pam Anderson?

Americans have to win the Sushi eating contest 5 more times to make it right.

As a proud American and connoisseur of fine hot dogs, this story certainly makes me proud of who we are and what we stand for!

Kobayashi suffered a jaw injury in training, which put him at a disadvantage in competition. In fact, I’m surprised to hear that he even showed up.

This guy seems to be an exception to the paradoxical rule that short thin people make the fastest eaters. Kobayashi fits the pattern though, at 5′7″ and 110 pounds under normal circumstances.

God bless America! Especially our soldiers.

I don’ t think his son’s transgression is what hurt Al Gore’s ‘lifetime (dis)service’ to America…

I don’t know if you remember the 200DNC convention when they introduced the Gore kids- he wasn’t there. No mention was made of the fact that he was under arrest for driving those twisty-turny mountian roads at night without his lights on.

I don’t think much will be made of it this time either.

GO Joey!
