Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest...

I think the whole contest should be banned. It can't possibly be healthy for people to gorge themselves like that, and it is particular disgusting to see the act of "not vomitting" treated as an athletic event.
 
Well my dear Colonel, it is a free country. If somebody wants to kill himself by gorging his stomach with 50 hot dogs, why stand in the way of the gene pool rejuvenation process?

Oh, I know, and I love their hot dogs. The summer before my senior year in college I was on an editorial internship in Manhattan, and I ate lunch at the Times Square Nathan's at least three times a week.

But the whole thing just grosses me out. What they're doing is not what I call eating. If I owned Nathan's, I'd be telling my V. P. of marketing, "let's see if we can start finding a little more flattering free PR."

Well, Cool hand Luke ate about 25 eggs.............:)
