NATHAN’S FAMOUS

Well, another July 4th has come and gone. The highlights? Takeru Kobayashi of Japan wins for the 5th year in a row at Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog-Eating Contest.


"Competitive Eating" as a sport is surreal. ESPN covering it live? Equally surreal.
Kobayashi won last year with 53 hot dogs in 12 minutes. This year, he's down to 49. So sad to see the World's Great Champs on the downhill slide.

As George Jones sang, Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes?

Ms. Lilly thinks that you are living vicariously through the puter too much. Way too much information. Sorta like at 32 degrees F, a penguin will start to pant.

Well, it'll pant at any temperature, if you talk to it right...
