~~~ NOTE FROM CHRIS: ~~~
The Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest was held
on the 4th of July, as it is every year, and the
winner was Joey Chestnut, who also won last year.
This time, though, Chestnut had to win a "dog-off"
after ending up in a tie with six-time winner Takeru
Kobayashi when both men ate 59 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
Chestnut then pounded down another five "tie-breaker"
dogs faster than Kobayashi to take the crown.
The Top 16 Things Overheard at the
Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest
- "Was Kobayashi missing a finger BEFORE the competition started?"
- "I heard that next year's contest has been changed to Tandoori chicken and outsourced to Mumbai."
- "And yet it's still only the fourth-most disgusting thing we've seen at Coney Island."
- "Now let's go to the supermodel purging contest."
- "Fish tacos! Re-affirm your manhood! Get yer fish tacos right here! Fish tacos!"
- "Would you like a screaming shit-ton of fries with that, sir?"
- "Ladies and gentlemen: The wiener and still chompin'..."
- "I haven't seen anyone inhale that much meat since that Pam Anderson video."
- "Pardon me, do I have any grey puke on?"
- "Attention: John Bobbit asks that everybody double-check their hot dogs before proceeding."
- "It's even more impressive when you add up how many rat anuses he's consumed."
- "Would monsieur care for a mint? It's wafer-thin!"
- "Someone tell Ms. Hilton she doesn't have to swallow them whole."
- "Let's see... 622 hot dogs and 32 waters... That'll be $2,879 plus tax and tip. Are these together or separate?"
- "Call Jenny Craig for me and tell them I'll be a few minutes late."
