Anyone watching this year? There's something intrinsically American about gathering the whole family around the TV to watch a bunch of super butch guys gulp down multiple hot dogs.

This thread is going down an entirely different path in my mind... This could be dangerous. Yes, I love eating hot dogs. Yummy.

When I first read the title, I immediately thought of Nathan Lane.

Then I figured it out.

What do you think Nathan's hot dog looks like?

Sad and lonely.

Joey Chestnut ate 69 hotdogs this year. Can't make this SH*T up. Also, Joey Chestnut is the second best porn name I've ever heard.

I think this tradition is disgusting! I have always said it is a good example of why other countries hate us.

If you think a hot dog eating contest is the reason other countries hate us, you need to brush up on your world history...

Yes, as I clearly stated, it is THE ONLY REASON. My point is I can just see footage of this nonsense laced in propaganda films showing our waste and gluttony. No, sadly I realize there are many, many reason that we are hated.

And the same can be said for MANY other countries. Most, actually.

Does Japan have a sushi eating contest? I think I could win that.

Diva Sssssshhhhh that was our secret.

I think it is disgusting. I don't enjoy watching that kind of gluttony. Actually, on the news, I think I saw a bit of vomit coming out of the mouth of the winner while he was still eating the hot dogs. ew. Eating and throwing up at the same time. I can't think of any other image which would outdo that one for gluttony.

That was not vomit. That was the bun. They dip the buns into water to swallow easier. If he vomited, he would have been disqualified. But yes, it's tough to watch.. I switched over to Wimbledon.

Jane, I don't get it. But I watch it anyway. It's like a bad wreck...
