Welcome to the summer edition of Bits & Pieces. Very disappointed in the fact that some of my latest posts get very little play unless eatfeats decides to give it a mention. Im referring to some of my videos which
include the bunnette bootcamp and the fireman police qualifier. The hits went from 8 to 21 after it got the mention. Not good fans. Not good at all. Ive come to realize that the hits will start pouring in if by some
miracle Sonya or Joey decide to do an eating stunt in my home.This site used to be number one but over the past few years it has played second or possibly third fiddle as far as stat wise. Michael Jackson first
big LP was "off the wall" It appears that my tribute show dedicated to the gloved one might never get "off the ground" The entire show ended up in the cutting room because of a softwear glitch . There are a few
other issues that i don't want to get into regarding the guests . I might just can the project altogether or or revive it at a later date with dependable ones. . Dale Boone made an appearance at the Atlanta qualifier
this past Saturday. He made good on his threat to fire anyone in his league that competed in the Nathans qualifier that day. . He tried to convince Allen Goldstein to leave the IFOCE and join his band of idiots.
Goldstein has little interest in competitive eating at this point but he is still keeping his options open. His "guns" have gotten a little flabby of late and he realizes that in order to keep his physique in meticulous
shape he has to stay away from the table for at least a few months or possibly longer. Rich Shea was nice enough to buy me a hotdog and soda prior to the Bunnette bootcamp. He also purchased a hot dog for
himself but broke it in half and gave me the other half. Considering his long affiliation with Nathans, i found it odd that he should have to take money out of his own pocket . Management at the Coney Island
restaurant should have informed those brainless under age bimbos that work the cash register that this man is Rich Shea so give him whatever he wants. Ed Cookie Jarvis is bringing his own film crew to
Nathans finals in Coney Island. What else is new. He says that he will be doing commentary for the event. Commentary with who? Certainly not ESPN. Jarvis was livid when he saw the link on eatfeats that
featured an article on Badlands Booker in the queens courier. My gut feeling was that he was upset for two reasons. One being the fact that his name was not mentioned in the article and he was not very pleased
that they posted an 3yr old picture of him in which he appeared to look like he weighed close to 600 lbs. After viewing some of the pictures of Kobayashi and Chestnut at todays weigh in, they both appear
unusually frail. They must have been on the same diet Michael Jackson was on after it was reported his weight was 112 lbs after his death. I shouldn't]t joke about stuff like that. They really look hungry staring
down those hotdogs. We might see some new records on the 4th. Considering the fact that this might be the first time i'll be right in their faces, expect a kick ass story later on. CNN ran a recent article on retired
competitive eaters. Some of you might remember Dominick Cardo who left the IFOCE in late 2003 . His biggest claim to fame was his beef tongue victory in the 2002 Glutton Bowl. . Apparently competitive eating
took a toll on his health over the past few years. He developed an inflammatory disease called sarcoidosis. His arteries were half way clogged causing chest pains. He ballooned to as much as 400lbs and his
doctors told him to stop competing. He took the doctors advice went for gastric bypass surgery and now weighs 205 lbs . At 6''2 his weight coincides nicely with his height.. If you want to hear dirt from the Nathans
finals i am sorry to report that i dont have any. As i stated in the judgement post, i normally dont attend afterparties because of family commitments on the 4th of July. Gavonne getting a friends and family pass is
the biggest news so far. Want to mention a few things about the intro's aside from the screwup in which the audio ran ahead of the video. George Shea introducing Mongo Marquez as Juliet Lee and Juliet Lee
as Gravy Brown .One of the engineers in the ESPN studio will get the ax before the week is out. I like Humble Bob and Gravy Brown's unique attire. Juliet Lee seems to be improving day by day. She is rapidly
becoming a dominant force in the sport. Two years ago she was considered up and coming . Now she is one of the most feared competitors around. Its apparent that George Shea is aware of this and Sonya
Thomas is certainly aware and keeping close watch. Sonya is still the queen setting the new female record with 41 dogs but Juliet is inching up so Sonya must stay on top of her game at all times. Sorry to hear
that Locust Lefevre couldn't make it due to health related issues. Locust has been a fixture at the Coney table for 7 straight. Some have made an issue in regard to Locust replacement Franco Cammenari. Many
felt Shredder Philbin Nasty Nate or even myself should have filled that spot instead of an unknown from Italy that doesn't speak a word of English. Prior to the cop fireman qualifier last saturday, Rich Shea
asked me if i want to jump and set the pace . I am not sure what he meant by that but i know what you guys are thinking and i doubt he had that idea in mind. What upsets me most about not making it to the finals
is hearing Paul Page of ESPN mention that fans root for their special favorites during the competition. Can you imagine how many fans i would have accumulated over the years if i made it to the finals. There were
several females screaming my name while i was judging . At one point i felt like dropping that count pad and hoist myself into the crowd to get some phone numbers. The judge next to me wanted to trade spots?
He could have both for all i care. At my age I'll take all the hard core sex i could get my hands on ! It has been brought to my attention that one of the primary reasons Ed Cookie Jarvis appeared at the Nathans
finals in Coney Island was so that his one man film crew could videotape him from the media only area , walking up and down the premises in his famous outdated trench coat. Plans are in the works for a future
documentary based on his life. If by chance the Tribeca film festival takes an interest in the project , expect tickets to sell out faster than the ill fated Michael Jackson "This is it" tour. Porn & Competitive eating? Is
there a market for it? Can both coexist? Well i can tell you for a fact , there is a competitive eating porn site called THE MINION. Anyone under the age of 30 should not even think about accessing this site due
to the nature and content . The stud that appears on the opening page sporting a protruding gut smothered with eggs and whip cream, claims he is god's gift to women. You be the judge. Joey does it again . A
three peat in hotdogs followed by a four peat in ribs at Chinook Winds in Oregon. . He broke his own record of 8.4lbs in 2006 by 4oz. The greatest eater of all time. How long can he sustain this pace.? Ten years
possibly? He is still young and shows no signs of letting up. IFOCE.com asked me how i intend to spend my weekend during their first hiatus of the summer months. I was tempted to respond with "holeyfield" the
same answer i received when i asked Rich Shea his prediction on the Canseco Wingador fight . After careful consideration, i responded back letting them know i was keeping a watchful eye on MJ tribute hits and
keeping away from salts for the time being. I assume that response was anything but a knee slapper for it did not appear in the all carb break posting. Speaking of IFOCE, some stocky dude with glasses whom
i assume is an intern that works in the headquarters, had a tremendous perspiration odor from his shirt as he walked by me before the Nathans finals in Coney Island. Trust me i am not trying to be nasty and he
more than likely is a very nice guy but damn! That shirt smelled as though it had been worn and slept in for weeks. A non profit vegan advocacy group in NJ is threatening a class action lawsuit unless food
companies such as Nathans, Oscar Meyer, Hebrew National and several others place cancer risk labels on their hot dog packages sold in NJ. There is been speculation over the past few years that the
consumption of nitrates can increase cancer risk when consumed in large amounts or on a frequent basis. In my opinion consuming all that sodium in one shot can cause severe health problems for people 40
and above but to be quite honest the youngsters like Chestnut and Bertoletti really have nothing to worry about unless they make hot dogs a part of their everyday diet. Kobe has even less to worry about when it
comes down to the harmful ingredients in hot dogs because they dont sell them in Japan.They tried the same tactic in the late 60's by placing cancer warning labels on cigarette packages suggesting that
smoking cigarettes can be hazardous to your health. . To date it has accomplished very little in trying to deter the average smoker from purchasing cigarettes by the cartloads., According to an article appearing in
ESPN magazine, Jose Canseco's biggest fear in fighting Wingador is that Wingador doesn't bite his hand off.They are promoting this event as sauced vs juiced. .The chump change (2g) that they are throwing at
Bill Wingador Simmons to step into the ring against Canseco is a true insult in my book. . it's like telling Wingador be grateful that you are going up against a steroid home run hitting legend. From a
conservative standpoint it is certainly not inconceivable that Wingador can pull this one off. If Wingador manages to come away with the victory, expect him to move up in class fighting quality opponents such as
Partridge family members or 60yr old hasbeen's such as Larry Holmes & George Foreman. Did i hear someone mention Mike Tyson???? Gavonnenews has some interesting updates on his blog.The most
recent includes a short video depicting a Nathans tea shirt signed by most of the big names in the IFOCE during the 4th of July Nathans finals. I assume that he has yet to present this shirt to Jill Stoler as a formal
peace offering. It is still undetermined as to whether or not she is aware of his intentions. The second video is Gavonne attempting a blues rock guitar version of "You are my sunshine" Maybe he should mail the
teashirt along with a CD of the song to Scrumptious Jill and see what kind of response he gets. Wingador gets bum deal as Canseco pulls out due to family illness. They should have issued refunds right on the
spot instead of inserting WWF hasbeen Brutus Beefcake as a last minute replacement. From what i heard it got kind of scary for a moment as Beefcakes manager cursed out Wingador and threatened to kick his
ass. Wingador did come out victorious over the Beefcake. When i get more info i will fill you in. Stay tuned!
