    Surely this is what the Founding Fathers had in mind as a celebration of the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of excess err happiness.

      Believe it or not, there are some people who consider this tacky and in bad taste.

        When I was a teenage apprentice butcher, I saw what went into hotdogs - no thank you.

            He'll be sorry for this one day. The wurst is yet to come.

              Come to think of it, there was a shortage of poodles in our town.
              Then the Chinese place cured the cat problem, but its when the seniors started to disappear after the pie shop opened that we began to worry....

                i believe it's a true story.
                Everywhere you have poodles, you can find seniors as well.

                  Do you mean the contest or the Hot Dogs are in bad taste ... ...

                  There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

                    There are entire TV channels in Asia devoted solely to competitive eating. Over there, it is seen as a serious sport rather than an amusement.

                    Indeed, Japanese competitors won the 4th of July hot dog eating contest in New York for several years in the 90's and 2000's, sparking a crisis for American competitive eaters who had not been taking it seriously as a discipline. Joey Chestnut was one of the new wave of American competitive eaters who basically took the Asian approach.

                      I'm embarrassed to say that I watched the entire hour long program culminating in the hot dog eating contest. It is done very much tongue in cheek and really tacky. Yet it is all done in fun (except for the actual hot dog eating) and so over the top that they have almost turned it into an art form.
