    Is that the best he can do.

    But then I struggle with one hot dog, must be an acquired 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.

      I feel very uncomfortable about these competitions. We have a significant number of the world's population starving to death through no fault of their own and we have people stuffing themselves full of food on a regular basis on the grounds they are a 'competitive eater'. It's a strange and very unfair world.

        My trouble with this kind of organized "binge" eating is that even with hundreds of people there one of the contestants might choke to death.

          My problem is they're hot dogs.

          Now meat pies.

            What kind of meat pies? Regular, steak and kidney, chicken pies? Or Mrs Lovett's/Mr. Todd's brand?

                'God bless his stomach!' as my grandmother used to say when my father used to over-eat! Meat pies are often consumed at footy matches (NOT soccer) down here in Melbourne, though the caterers charge like wounded bulls. Nothing nicer than a nice (beef) meat pie and sauce at the footy on a cold winter's day. I am also fond of a meat pie with mushy peas.

                    True, Nathan's could make a donation to a food bank tied to the winning score (e.g., 1000 hot dogs for every one eaten from the winner) and get some good press.

                      I don't see much connection between the two. It's not as though we'd give the food to the poor if we didn't use it in an eating competition.

                        speaking of AFL do you know that Steadmund is a big fan.

                          That is terrific. There wouldn't be too many of those! Is he a convert from gridiron, for which I don't blame him. Boring!

                              I dont think Gridiron was his game, boxing is his number one. But give me a break the Lions
