Nathan's Hotdog Contest 2010

I'll admit that I'm a fan of world records, or really any type of records. I love it when people win. It makes me very happy. However, I will say that Nathan's Famous hotdog contest leaves me squeamish, just something about all of the mess and well eating hotdogs without relish or mustard and with water just seems wrong. It just seems like it would be really bad for your body in general but also your skin, like you'd need pronexin after.

So I saw it on the 4th of July and then quickly changed the channel. Apparently I missed a lot of drama. I guess that Takeru Kobayashi couldn't get the proper paperwork so he couldn't participate even though he's one of the best. He later stormed the stage after the winner only made it through 54 hotdogs. I especially love how the article describes the winner as his arch nemesis. Here all this time I just thought it was supposed to be fun.
