Not really funny, especially for him, but I had to chuckle. Hope he'll be able to keep on doing what he does best! Thanks Michael... and Charles for passing it along.

Competative eating is called a sport now . . .how appropriate for an obese nation, finally a "sport" that isn't hindered by over indulging at the all you can eat buffet! Qhat could be more american than that!!! :)

I think the real trick in the Cheese eating contest isn't eating the cheese! I think they should compete on who can poo first after eating a lot of cheese!
