I hate when article writers think that the more horrible, grade-school puns they can use, the funnier they are.

ziggy333		2003-06-29 11:18:42 AM

is no so ghey

cjsmith11878		2003-06-29 11:23:02 AM

This is ghey

Garanimal		2003-06-29 11:23:54 AM

Japanese can devour the dogs, because they remind them of tentacles...

japanese hot-dog eaters are teh ghey...

SuperCatBarf		2003-06-29 11:24:06 AM

Sorry to change the subject, but at some point, people on the island of Japan must have been forced to eat a bunch of food real fast in order to survive, as opposed to the typical New Yorker who eats a bunch of food real fast just to deny everyone around him/her.

steelwelder		2003-06-29 11:24:18 AM

Why was the reference to tofu dogs thrown in at the end?

Mandalasan		2003-06-29 11:26:18 AM

"the typical New Yorker who eats a bunch of food real fast just to deny everyone around him/her."

are we talking buffets? 'cause they DO restock those...if you're talking about someone at your table grabbing your food, then they are teh ghey, and should be eliminated.

gaz_biz		2003-06-29 11:31:45 AM

teh?
ghey?
Someone please explain....
/confused

I Am Strom Thurmond		2003-06-29 11:32:21 AM

Too many bad puns...

Oh and "ghey"

crazy_homeless_guy		2003-06-29 11:38:09 AM

50 weiners down the hatch and counting.

stuzy		2003-06-29 11:39:37 AM

gaz_biz: teh = the ghey = what you are if you don't understand this. GAY. Cheers

SquirrelWithLargeNuts		2003-06-29 11:40:25 AM

gaz_biz:

Kobayashi-San!!!

Bonzai! Bonzai! Bonzai!!!!

:D

Forsythe P. Jones		2003-06-29 11:42:10 AM

Hot dogs are subliminally ghey.

/on topic

gaz_biz		2003-06-29 11:43:57 AM

stuzy: cheers, that's what I thought. one more question: wtf? or, why do this? And why does everyone have a problem with that blokes pic on the left? I reckon he looks ok, not that I'm "ghey" or anything. Not that there's anything wrong with that.....

gaz_biz		2003-06-29 11:45:50 AM

ah. hip. I see. Righty-ho then. I like hot dogs, and Kobayashi is cool as it reminds me of The Usual Suspects. Kevin Spacey Rules.

stuzy		2003-06-29 11:48:29 AM

Umm, Gaz, seems to be a trend to make fun of whomever is in the spotlight for the personals.

gaz_biz		2003-06-29 11:50:55 AM

Right. As you may have guessed, I am something of a neophyte. Patience is appreciated.

Prometheus		2003-06-29 11:59:24 AM

gaz_biz

You're a big fan of Kevin Spacey but you're not gay? Right...

/just joshing

ObiWanSpicoli		2003-06-29 12:02:38 PM

<----- teh grhey

gaz_biz		2003-06-29 12:05:52 PM

Prometheus: well, we're all a little gay, right? and thanks for the fire dude. Anyone seen swimming with sharks? Spacey at his best.

Hot dogs are subliminally ghey.

Cigars, too.

/could be on topic if Kobayashi smoked a victory cigar - who knows???

animefarka		2003-06-29 12:07:59 PM

ghey

darkhorse23		2003-06-29 12:14:54 PM

Worst part is that the headline says that he 'devours' them, as if the contest has already happened this year. It's on 7-4.

SuperCatBarf		2003-06-29 12:35:19 PM

His name is "mike can dance". He's into nighty-night food and Golden Girls. He's got a body pillow shaped like a catfish. Totally teh ghey.

Dancin_In_Anson		2003-06-29 12:39:06 PM

Kobayashi's 100 mph style of eating snapping the dogs in half, a move dubbed "The Solomon Method" earned him the nickname "Tsunami."

That would be a problem for me too...from one end or the other...

Bummer		2003-06-29 12:46:53 PM

I don't like how all these guys come out with all these theories on how he eats and stuff. They should already know by now he's just highly trained for that way of eating. Notice how he's pretty built in the arms, he just works it off. Oh yeah................

ghey

whydontyoucryaboutit		2003-06-29 12:48:22 PM

Couldn't help it

Grateful_Phish		2003-06-29 12:56:09 PM

i'm still trying to figure out the tofu reference..

slipkid		2003-06-29 01:19:34 PM

Anybody else think the "weeners" tag would have been most appropriate on this one?

heheh... weeners.

Dawg47		2003-06-29 02:07:37 PM

Kobayashi = World's greatest athlete

...no wait, David Pollack...nevermind

/Boobies

dupper		2003-06-29 02:38:07 PM

Kobayashi Maru!

Silicon Sam		2003-06-29 03:40:44 PM

C'mon Phish, read the last 2 lines. It's a reference from that lady, meaning regular hot dogs are not good for you, either that she's some sort of freaky vegetarian.

felixecho		2003-06-29 05:11:15 PM

Jeez. This story is two years old. Ive been seeing a show about the contest...that same one they are talking about there, for months on Discovery. Why publish the story now? I wanted to see if he had won again. Not another story about that one contest.

legopowa		2003-06-29 06:20:54 PM

How the hell does he fit all those dogs inside him?
I get full after like 3 :/

NathanAllen		2003-06-30 09:53:35 AM

Sadly, I recognized all of the names of "famous" eaters mentioned in the article.

And as we found out on that kicking man v beast challenge the solution to Kobahashi's dominance is finding 50 midgits who can pull a bus.

Boofie		2003-06-30 03:02:08 PM

WHY WHY WHY....why is it necessary to compete through eating processed meat parts as a 4th of July festivity. It reminds me of the scene from Monty Python's: The Meaning of Life, when the fat man is at the restaurant. GAG PLEASE
