When it comes to eating hot dogs, "The Tsunami"
still blows everybody away. For the fourth straight year, rail-thin
Takeru Kobayashi chewed up the competition at the Nathan's Famous hot
dog eating competition Sunday, breaking his own previous world record.
Kobayashi, 26, of Nagano, Japan, gulped down 53 1/2 wieners in 12 minutes
and shattered his own world record by three dogs. In 2002, he had wolfed
down 50 1/2. The closest competitor Sunday was newcomer Nobuyuki
Shirota, 25, of Tokyo, who made an impressive showing but couldn't cut
the mustard with 38 downed dogs. |

Once again, then, the contest's coveted Mustard Yellow
Belt returns to Japan. Since 1996, the Japanese have dominated the competition
and only one American — New Jersey's Steve Keiner in 1999 —
has captured the belt at the signature July 4 extravaganza. The 5-foot-7, 132-pound Kobayashi, of Nagano, Japan, employed his trademark method of snapping the dogs in half before swallowing them to destroy the 19 other contestants. Meanwhile, 105-pound Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas, 36, of Alexandria, Va., could relish two new records: She ate more hot dogs — 32 — than any other woman and any other American in the contest's history. |

Eric "Badlands"
Booker, a 6-foot-4, 400-pound subway conductor from Long Island who
came in fifth with 27 dogs, said he and the other competitive eaters
were determined to unseat the Japanese. "We aren't going to stop
until we bring the belt back," he told ESPN. Kobayashi seemed unworried.
"I will come back next year and try and break the record once again,"
he said.

Get thee to the Secret Archive. I guess he is trying to make up for some other shortcoming...a camera with an ostentatiously long telephoto lens is more effective visually and a GTO with dual exhausts is more effective viscerally...besides...I'd hate to be around him in about 12 to 18 hours....please don't squeeze the Charmin. - Wicked Wee-Wee Wow. - I wish I could think of some witty joke about how they swallow instead of spit. See...sushi and rice does leave you craving "REAL FOOD" !!! He will soon go "SUMO" !! - Miami Mike |
