bng_mmmk 07/01/17 3:16:06 PM #1:	Just saw this on ESPN 2. Googled the contest: https://www.thestreet.com/amp/story/14206281/1/the-masters-of-competitive-eating-is-here-nathan-s-july-4-hot-dog-eating-contest.html Competitive hot dog eating is so strange and wonderful. I'd never give two hoots about it but whatever. Like how does one not just retire after winning a few times. At what point do you decide that your mission is to reach the very limits of humans eating hot dogs? According to info boxes during the broadcast he's also the world champion of a couple different eating categories. What a time to be alive. --- turbopuns <cite>bng_mmmk posted [p:882156432] in Joey "... [t:75521095]...</cite> <quote>Just saw this on ESPN 2.

bng_mmmk 07/01/17 4:01:11 PM #13:	I kinda wonder about the #2 and #3 guys. Like the dude won with 69 hot dogs. Don't remember the time limit. But 2nd and 3rd were within 1 or 2 of each other at about 50. That is nowhere close to competing with 69. And there were like 10 or 15 or something people competing. I wanna say 4th was like in the 30s. So like how does Joe Schmoe who gets up there and eats 20 hot dogs even begin to justify what he's doing with his life? --- turbopuns <cite>bng_mmmk posted [p:882158391] in Joey "...
