Greetings fans and a happy new year to you all. Lets hope 2010 is a prosperous year for everyone.Some have asked  if i ever intend on retiring from the sport. When my doctor tells me its not ok
to do this every once in awhile , that is when i will hang it up for good. Until then i am looking forward to MLE's inaugural event which is peanut butter and banana on  Jan 9th in Biloxi. For those of
you that missed out on the tail end the final month of 2009, as always you can access dec and the rest of 2009 on bitsarchive page. It was brought to my attention that the proper
RECIPE for Elvis
favorite snack can be accessed via this youtube video.Please ignore this guys brief but rather lame imitation of the king. I cant figure out why he bothered. For a second i thought it was Kid Cary.  
The last thing i want is to mock the king of rock and roll but if this was part of  his steady diet throughout  the years, one can understand why he kicked the bucket at a relatively young age of 42.
Hope everyone enjoyed my PB&banana video. Its a great snack but should be eaten in moderation if you are 40 and above. You can count on the Isle Casino to prepare them to perfection. After
all Biloxi is right around the corner from Elvis birthplace Tupelo.  I think i sounded more like Dale Boone than the king but nobody can duplicate Elvis in sound or appearance. Notorious B.O.B and i
will share the same flight back to Atlanta before the changeover. And of course guess what awaits us at the Atlanta airport? Krystal Yes yes yes. I wonder how many steamer packs will fit in the
carry on compartment..Badlands Booker said he would book the same flight with me going to Gulfport a few weeks ago but as usual i never heard back from him. With airlines still on terror alert i
hope they dont use that new body scanning device and strip me out of my  Elvis jumpsuit prior to boarding the plane. They should make special exceptions for the King.  Dont make me sing "Dont
be cruel" at the airport.  I always referred to Jan as matzah ball month and even though 6yrs have passed since the last contest at Ben's , it is sorely missed. especially that aroma from the matzah
balls before they brought them out.  Then again think about all those amateur assholes from other eating clubs (note i refuse to use the term organization) that would have ruined the entire contest
anyhow. Maybe its best that Ronnie put it to rest after that unfortunate Jan  afternoon in  2004. Usually a taboo question when female competitive eaters in China or Japan are asked about the
amounts of gas released after consuming large amounts of food. When posed the same question, this
YOUNG LADY  was anything but bashful. Matter of fact i thought it sounded like a machine
gun.
 JILL STOLER has started the new year off on the right foot meeting the man of her dreams Keith Ford . it appears to look like a match made in heaven  for if  you click that link  there is a
picture of the two lovebirds on facebook.  If you want to be part of Jill's life you need to join up . Its free. Her new beau   bares a resemblance to a young John Gotti Jr. I pulled out of facebook
several months ago after being stalked by Jill's stalker  Gavonne who is still doing time at Gotham State Penitentiary with Riddler, Joker , Catwoman and the Penguin. Knowing that Jill was on my
facebook friend list  he would go through  any means possible to  become my facebook friend.  Like Jill , after ignoring his advances, he became hostile and used all kinds of alias names like Won
dum fuc accompanied by a photo of the Chinese dude that shot up all those students in VA. I still refused to let him in. It was a real low point in the sport of   CE when of all people Arnie Chapman
throws him out of the aice and then  gets picked up on waivers by the IFOCE.  According to some fat guy name Tiny who posts on eatfeats 24/7 , Gavonne  was trying to sell him an  audio DVD  of
Chapman screaming and cursing at him on the telephone for $9.99. Although it's a bit early for hotdogs, i posted an old BB corner from Nathans Molly Pitcher in June 2007. Prior to the contest i did
one of my Larry Hoff shows which is also included in the segment along with candid interviews with Pat from Moonachie and two hot looking chicks. You can access that on the BB corner  video
vault .Elvis daughter  
 LISA MARIE PRESLEY  the only real surviving member of the king of rock and roll was interviewed by Larry King in 2003. As you watch the interview its nearly impossible for
her to grieve for a dad she only knew for 9 years out of her entire life. She would have had to have grown up with him for at least 20yrs to feel the pain of losing a father.  Its obvious that its either
hard for her to answer his questions or that she is just a bad interview period. Although a legend in the music world  he shy away from the media and  never appeared on any talk shows during his
entire career. I know that most of you are anxious for a report from Biloxi  which will hopefully include some negative news but not much to report on that end. The real negative aspect of the trip
was the 5 hr delay due to inclement weather in the Southern states. A few hours after i arrived at the hotel some Elvis impersonate was performing on stage which was all i needed to hear after a
grueling trip to the south compliments of
DELTA AIRLINES. Yuo can see the line forming for flight 7776 which included some very stressed out passengers. The trip wasnt all that bad for when i
arrived in Atlanta i feasted on some KRYSTAL BURGERS. Scroll down to the bottom of the page link to view the take out
KRYSTALS in Atlanta airport. .  MS is a beautiful state with  nice down to
earth people. I had to get used to responding to people greeting me with  Good morning. None of that stuff  goes in my neck of the woods. The weather was freezing cold and to pass the time i
played blackjack in the casino for a few hours. The NOTORIOUS one hung out with me for awhile strictly as a spectator  and did bring me some temporary good luck. You don't see the high rolling
Asians  that frequent AC. Good to see the old crew again. Crazy Legs, Eater X, Erik the Red Buffalo Reeves along with others. I even got to meet the infamous Nunabun from eatfeats. Imagine
making a trip all the way to MS to pay their respects to the King. Extremely patriotic i must say. .
JILL STOLER  gets dumped once again according  to her facebook page  and this time its because
she came down with the flu.  When i read it i couldn't believe it. She just met the guy and he dumps her for something she has no control of?   What a callous no good  varmint. Now the poor girl is
losing sleep over the fact that she could have avoided getting dumped if she had only taken a flu shot. I was lucky enough to have a health clinic across from my house which gives  out swine and
seasonal  for free. .It amazes me that every time Jill gets the boot from the opposite sex, some idiot chimes in the comment page attempting to comfort her by saying"ohhh don't worry everything is
going to be ok . He lost out and you deserve better"  Well guess what ? , those remarks are not helping her . Every time one loser drops out another one moves in. Speaking of losers anyone hear
the latest on Gavonne?. IFOCE marketing director  Mike Mantolini  (love the Brooklyn accent Mike)  seems to be enjoying the role as the new emcee on the circuit. Just wondering how many of you
took a count as to how many times Mike repeats "Who's it gonna be" on the PB& banana video. MLE has big schedule on tap for 2010 as the southern  circuit continues  with Catfish in Davenport  
Iowa on March 20.. March 27th Booneville (i like that name )  Missouri will host an event (food yet to be determined ) Ribs in Tula  MS which is not far from Memphis on  April 17th . Might get one
more crack at Elvis for those of you waiting with baded breath for an encore. Oysters(they can have that one)  in Colorado on Aug 28th  and last but not least another food to be determined event
in Bettendorf  Iowa on Nov 6th  Similar to Goldenpalace, all of the events mentioned are casino based events. only difference being is that real casinos are hosting these contests opposed to
Goldenpalace which was internet based. .Thats all she wrote folks i think . For the record my original intention was to get a photo of myself and that gorgeous southern brunette for the front page
but it just wouldn't have seemed right if i didn't include the other gals in the photo.  I had asked Dan Sheldon who runs Danonthestreet.com to take a shot of the both of us but i realized that if the
photo was not taken with my camera the chances of viewing it was slim and none. Remember i mentioned something about never depend on anyone for anything. Well guess what i never saw the
picture. I have been lucky enough to date some very fine females in my lifespan but the last time i had a crush on one was 1972 when i was in the 7th grade. Yours truly isnt the only eater bitten by
the love bug. Ask Notorious B,O,B & Damien who were just as memorized . I was thinking of throwing my hat into the next MS contest which might feature ribs and her. Keep in mind that studs such
as Haystacks Calhoun cousin, Wild Bill and Pat from Moonachie might be gunning for her affections also. I guess i have some stiff competition on the horizon.  I just might have to whip out the banjo
and serenade
UNCLE ELMER style Speaking of youtube videos, this GEORGE SHEA video with Sonya has to go down as one of the  more brilliant yet creepiest interviews straight out of the
Tourge de Gorge series from 2004. Guess what? 6yrs later a takeoff of that satirical masterpiece is possibly in the works featuring Gravy Brown's mistress Ursula Lynn playing the role of Sonya
while its a tossup between myself and Gravy doing George Shea. I guess you know to expect out of that one. If you think the original was bizzare wait till you view the sequel. I guess King Cake  was
not on the agenda for the king as i was placed  on standby for the contest  in AC. George Shea might be headlining the event which explains why i was not invited. It just seems odd that lately
every time he takes the mic for a local  event i am excluded. Considering that my totals have been lackluster to say the least , maybe its better to reserve that spot for someone that really deserves
it or can put up a better number, My latest Elvis cover includes
SUSPICIOUS MINDS on youtube, I thought it sounded ok  . Well very little to report on the eating scene unless you want to check
out eatfeces and OJ Rifkin's posts devoted to Man Vs Food, Furious Pete conquests and  nickel and dime contests throughout the US in which  IFOCE members are not allowed to compete in.
Real entertaining. Better off recording some more Elvis songs.  Oh not to mention the fact of just  how proud the lone ranger is of his database of eating challenges. Just the other day eatfeces
featured a long post   from the mom of an IFOCE member who feels i have shown total disrespect to a unpaid blogger that devotes all of his free time to what i consider a bunch of "feces" I could
care less what people think about my attitude.  People with one track minds live in denial and refuse to accept another persons point of view. I cannot change a senior citizens way of thinking. If im
considered the bad guy in someone else's eyes so be it. .I heard from Chip Simpson. Very bright articulate individual with a head on his shoulders. . He received some pretty bad calls during his
tenure with the IFOCE but he feels the writing on the wall was his exclusion from MLE the game(another brainstorm down the toilet) . He felt slighted and for good reason when eaters ranked
beneath him were chosen for the game. He has no intention of ever returning to the MLE circuit. Juliet Lee feels its an outrage that i was not invited to compete in the Cake contest in AC. Some
have echoed those words going a step further claiming i should be automatically invited to every event. Thank you. . Consistent with Elvis month i covered another one of his hits
IN THE GHETTO
El Toro has been banned from the Vegas Wingbowl thanks to some rat snitch on eatfeces.com. I keep telling everyone that the site is more of a liability than an asset to competitive eating. First off
what is his fu-- biz  reporting Toro's qualifier on  youtube. I doubt very much if Toro supplied him with the link. According to Toro, the sponsor called his house to inform him that he had been
disqualified because he competed in the professional ranks. Apparently she messed with the wrong guy because before she could even finish the sentence,  he cursed her out and slammed the
phone . When you check out George Shea's greatest hits, towards the end of the clip  George mentions "size doesnt matter" . That was just a snippet of the never before seen eats of strength
footage from May 2006.  that never saw the light of day due to the xxx rated  raw content. There are 3hrs worth of this stuff and i am hoping that one of these days they will release it as part of a
bonus DVD . George Shea greatest hits seems to have been revived somewhat. When it first aired on youtube in oct 2008 the hits were coming in left and right at an astounding pace but leveled
off after a few months. Since i linked it to my site it appears to have caught the eye of 40 or more viewers. in less than 24 hrs. The video didnt sit too well with Moses Lerman and you cant blame
him one bit. 4yrs after the initial airing of eats of strength  both of us realize we were the brunt of a big joke. From a personal standpoint i could care less. At my age i guess i should be grateful for
any kind  of free publicity, I'll say one thing i  dare you to find one competitive eater that can carry a tune better than i can. Speaking of tunes, another Elvis cover
SUCH A NIGHT  was posted on youtube by yours truly earlier in the day .  Everyone is feeling the pinch nowadays and when it hits home you really feel it. I was just informed that Superpaul Barlow
lost his job this past week .  You would never know it considering his vibrant upbeat attitude and zest for life. A great guy , an asset to the sport and overall super dude ! I was pondering starting a
collection for the Bonebreaker but considering the fact that some eaters wouldnt even shell out 3 bucks for my PPV show several years ago , i doubt very much if they could part with a dime for the
tin can. Shocking footage has been released by unreliable sources featuring what appears to look like Joey Chestnut taken hostage and  forced to inhale loads of gas from the rear end of an  
unidentified asian female after he defended his hot dog crown on the 4th of July. . It has not been officially confirmed whether or not the unwilling male is indeed Joey Chestnut but it has been
confirmed that the gassy female consumed massive amounts of egg foo young and brown rice before releasing the toxic fumes on the mustard yellow champ.
CHECK OUT THE VIDEO  There is
one point where he begs to go home.  No word as to whether or not Chestnut returned the favor by releasing his monsoon  of  Nathans Nitrates on the poor young girl.  Stay tuned
