The Guy On the Right, Can Eat Some Dogs

That man on the right left (i know i'm a moron) is Joey "Jaws" Chestnut and he just broke that man on the left right, Takeru Kobayashi's, hot dog eating record. From SI.com, Jaws ate 59 1/2 hot dogs and buns at the June 2nd Southwest Regional Hot Dog Eating Championship, crushing Kobayashi's previous record of 53 3/4 he set at the annual Nathan's Hog Dog Eating Contest. (Update: You Tube of the event is below)

Needless to say, Jaws can stuff a lot of dick dogs in his mouth. Jaws is currently ranked second in the world by the International Federation of Competitive Eating, behind only Kobayashi. Methinks Kobayashi better stop pumping the iron and start pushin out more tube steaks if he hopes to defeat this gastrointestinal monster a second time this 4th of July.

Kobayashi's response to this new record being set was, "mmprrphmpt..." Sounds like he is busy practicing, we'll have to get in touch with him later.
