Amazingly, both marks eclipsed the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Championship record set last year of 53 1/2 hot dogs consumed by Kobayashi.

Earlier this week, there was some question as to whether the Japanese champion would even compete because of a sore chewing muscle. Tuesday, Kobayashi still had trouble opening his mouth wide enough for a routine teeth cleaning session -- leading many to speculate about his ability to participate in the championship contest.

I noticed she holds the records for Vienna sausages, meatballs, and oysters. I wonder if that's a case of practice makes perfect; and if people realize the Vienna sausages turn into Polish sausages after she gets them in her mouth, making her feat even more extraordinary.http://www.mazdas247.com:8080/smilies/bj.gif http://www.mazdas247.com:8080/smilies/blowjob.gif

I thought, surely, there'd be a few who could appreciate some sophomoric humor. You must be a freshman.:happy:

[BamaFreak]

My freshman days have long since vanished. I'm too old to hide my contempt for idiotic behavior, and an eating contest ranks right up there with wasteful and disgusting idiocy.

In a non related story. Today in Yazoo City Mississippi. Phil Fulmer successfully defended his seven year title of the Great American Gravy Suck off. Fulmer said shortly after the event, " I wish I didn't have such a big breakfast this morning, I really wanted to give the fan more. Plus the grave was great this year"
Phil Agreed to defend his title again next year when the event will move to Zansville Ohio.

I see you have successfully defended your title, of being the biggest complete freakin' moron on the board.
