The 4th of July marks a great event every year. This will be the 3rd year we have mentioned it here at PNN. I am of course talking about the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Last year Kobayashi reign was ended by American super eater Joey Chesnut. We covered this here. There were questions about […]
Wow, that was weird. It has been a while, how have you been? Nice to see you again. I am glad to be back.
Thanks everyone for your letters and kind words. I did indeed make it back from my Vegas trip. The stories about getting into a fist fight with the O’Shea’s Leprechaun and being […]
Sorry about the low post frequency. Life and the new job are both pretty crazy. I don’t really expect that to change much until December, but keep checking back … I am still alive.
Last weekend I tried to qualify to play in the Magic: The Gathering Canadian National Championship. I played in 2 single elimination […]
Sorry about last week but I am finally feeling a little more like myself (I almost used normal in the sentence but we all know that would simply never be the case). Our first point of business … 2 weekends ago, during the Matty P birthday blast and BBQ, Boyd Hardie defeated all challengers in […]
Just got word that Joey ‘Jaws’ Chestnut has indeed defeated Takeru ‘Tsunami’ Kobayashi just moments ago in the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Championship. These men ate 66 and 63 hot dogs and buns respectively in 12 minutes. This absolutely smashes last years winning number of 53 3/4 (at the time the world record, posted […]
In the world of competitive eating there has been one name that has stood out … Takeru Kobayashi (The Tsunami). Most famously he has held the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog eating championship for 6 years (since 2001) plus the Krystal Squares Hamburger belt for the last 3 plus all sorts of other eating accolades. No one has dominated their sport like Kobayashi. […]
Wow, two posts today … just getting ready for the long weekend. This weekend also marks the end of the NHL regular season. Our home team, the Toronto Maple Leafs, pretty much needs to win their last 2 games to make it into the 8th and final spot of the playoffs. If […]
At the Commodore Computer Show in 1989 (I think) I purchased a 90 Megabyte hard drive for $700 (McDollars) for my Amiga 500. I was really cool for a couple of weeks among computer geeks everywhere. What would you do with all that storage?
Yesterday I purchased a 500 Gigabyte hard drive for $160. A 25000% better […]
This is pretty much how I imagined the ‘Jason Robar Baseball Incident’. You know, the one where Jav forces Jay to play baseball in the rain and Jay never walks properly again (and then aggrivated during the ‘Jason Robar Bowling Incident’).
The most amazing part of the whole thing … apparently the player in the […]
Wow, that one really flew buy quick. I don’t know what is going on around work these days, I have become very popular and people I have never talked to before, seemed to of found my desk.
Heidi and I were at the Leafs VS Boston game Tuesday night. We missed most of the first period […]
