So I’m one of those losers that watch the hot dog eating contest every year and right now I’m anticipating this year’s showdown more than the premier of the Greatest American Dog. In all of this fanfare I actually try and read up a little bit and get the latest news, like Kobayshi jaw problems from last year, but in this research I came across an incredible line written in an article on foxnews.com. Here’s the lead to the story:

Takeru Kobayashi of Japan smashed the world record in 2001 and was unbeatable for more than half a decade until America’s Joey Chestnut became the new king of all tube steaks at Coney Island last year.

I thought “the king of all tube steaks” distinction went to Pete Wentz, who called himself “half gay” while still managing to lay seed in a Simpson sister.
