Happy 5th!

I woke up today and I had to look at my phone to see what time it was. It was 11:59 AM when I looked at it. I woke up and putzed around, went upstairs and started eating lunch when all of a sudden it dawned on me. I asked my dad in a panic 'Was the hot dog contest on?' The answer was (of course) 'yes'. My dad found out who won by watching old coverage of the spelling bee and looking at the runner at the bottom. Joey Chestnut won. I didn't like his gulping technique last year- it made me want to hurl up everything I ate. I guess he got a whole lot of them down. Sixty six of them to be exact. I just looked at the pictures of the event and wow! I'll put the link up for Yahoo's picture album of the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Contest. You know how that story in Stand By Me goes about the blueberry pie eating contest- poor Kobayashi couldn't keep up with Chestnut and he lost it- goo!
