"if Kobayashi's jaw had crapped out six months ago, few would have noticed. But this is HOT DOG SEASON. When the champ implied that he might not compete in this Wednesday's big contest at Coney Island, the 29-year-old's refusenik mandible was the lead story on the New York Times' Web site."

So the hot dog eater can't give head anymore? ************** Little aspirin for the jaw and he'll be fine. After all, he has a "loosy-goosy" esophagus that he can relax at will. Reminds me of what a friend told me over breakfast a month or two ago. Apparently his ex-girlfriend's sister (they had the occasional threesome) was the only girl he ever met who could take his entire shaft during a blowjob. She told him she just relaxes her throat and even his ginormous wang slides right down. One of my profs in grad school told me he likes to drink a Dr. Pepper before polishing a really big knob because Dr. Pepper has a lubricating effect on the throat that other soft drinks don't.

 My employer has communicated to you, that I will not be in the competition this year and you may expect a victory in this year's competition. I assure you Mr. McMannis, that I have an arthritic jaw and will not be participating in the competition. If you doubt my word, that is your choice, then you must kill away. I am ready Mr. McMannis. Kill away.

... I am ready Mr. McMannis. Kill away.... Beat me to it. I guess I'm glad because I don't know how to spell Kaiser Sosay.

He tried to pull the exact same bullshit last year, I assume so that when he won he would look all the more heroic for having done it while sick or injured or whatever. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't counting on getting his ass kicked last year by a REAL man--a goddamn American! Probably saying it again this year because he's counting on losing AGAIN and wants to have a nice excuse lined up for why he couldn't compete.

There are few things more idiotic than calling this a competitive sport, only in America. I did get involved in it - peripherally - some two years ago when it first came to my attention. I noticed that the sponsors for one of the events was Alka Seltzer, owned by Miles Laboratories, which in turn were owned by Bayer, who had just announced the vast amounts of money they were spending on research on obesity. I did manage to couple these two items in the press, the sponsorship stopped, but the idiocy, profligacy and gluttony continues. I mention this only to point out the caring nature of the pharmaceutical industry for those not yet aware of it.

It's cute of you to blame America and some kind of grandiose, Satan-worshipping, cock-sucking, Illuminati-cum-Masonic conspiracy to enslave the poor brown people for the benefit of the few dozen white people at the top--and don't pretend that's not where you were going with that!--but let's not forget that Japanese contestants have won first place in this competition nearly every year for the past twelve or so years, in addition to there being a number of other Japanese contestants in runner-up positions as well.
