that doesn’t make it any less glorious!
There’s the music! And the movies!
And the general good mood of everyone
around you. We, like everyone else,

even celebrate Christmas!

Hot Diggity Dog

070704chestnut2.jpgHailed as “one of the greatest moments in American sports history,” Joey Chestnut, 23, made America proud yesterday as he shoveled 66 hotdogs into his mouth in a mere 12 minutes. Needless to say, it was one of the most disgusting displays of American pride I have ever seen.

In a brutal showdown, 6 time Japanese champion Takeru Kobayashi went dog for dog with Chestnut until almost the very end, despite a jaw injury. Unfortunately for Kobayashi, his “reversal” (aka barf) during the final stretch cost him 3 HDB’s (Hot Dogs and Buns eaten) for a total of 63. Both competitors broke their own records as well as the record for most hot dogs ever eaten.

The competition, held annually, has been around since 1916. If 90 years of hot dog pounding doesn’t scream what is wrong with our countries eating habits, the amount of calories Chestnut consumed—20,394—should.

Welcome to America, land of the free and home of obesity.
