you must have seen a rerun of last year's, ladyredd, because the contest was today. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13702628/

Neither! This is a serious sport that requires months of training and discipline. In addition to that, one must build up their tolerance to nitrites. In fact, I think that I am going to start training now. We are having sirloin tips for dinner but I will pretend.

Didn't he set a record? I don't see how he does it!

One of my women's magazines (Jane?) following that Black Widow chick who weighs, like, 98 pounds. Seems like a serious sport to me -- but two hot hogs just about bust my colon, let along a bunch o' dogs. I say, "Whatever," , though.

I admit, I watched with sheer fascination. Until they started eating. YUCK. Did the same guy win?? The guy from Japan???

Dipping the buns in water was what got me.

LOL, you're right, apparently I did. I didn't realize it since the digital cable description said it was this year's!

All I have to say is EWWWW, OMG I maybe could eat two before I would be bursting, but over 50, that's two weeks worth...lol! Good for him but not for me...

Yep he beat his own record from last year. 53 1/2 hot dogs last year. This year 53 3/4. I bet he has a second set of teeth installed behind his real ones to help with the chewing.

The guy who came in second *only* ate 52 dogs!

I wonder if both guys were found in the bathroom later doing this:
