Holiday OT: Nathan’s hot dog eating contest

[OrangeTsar]

I can't watch it, dipping the buns in water is disgusting.

Then you never need to order an authentic Chicago Style Italian Beef, where they dunk the entire sandwich in aus jus. I am unable to find anywhere in the South that gets these right. There is one place in Atlanta but they just don’t get the flavor right

this morning ESPN was debating whether these guys should be considered athletes.

 

[Special Ed]

The biggest non-event in American cultural history.

I'll watch when they do it riding motorcycles.

Who’s planning to watch? Looks like it’s currently in a lightning delay.

The whole thing is kind of disgusting but it’s like I can’t look away.

I watch every year. Its like a bad car wreck. I can’t stop looking at it

It must be summer because this site needs a defibrillator. Wake me up when 9/2 gets here.

I can't even imagine doing that to my body. But why are the champions not fat?

Joey Chestnut dominates this event every year.

16th overall win.

This is gluttony and disgusting as well.

We had a small cookout yesterday with a few friends and family. I noticed my wife going through channels, and when I looked it was on the contest. I have never understood why there is such a fascination with this event. That has got to be one of the most disgusting things ever. One of my least favorite things to do in the world is vomit, and these people are gonna do just that after the contest is over. I can't imagine that is good for a persons health.
