I'm hungry for a win

There are lots of ways to prepare for a hot dog eating contest and I've come up with a new one. I haven't eaten a hot dog for months, probably since last summer.

The way I see it, the other contestants in today's Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Championship qualifier could be burned out. Eight ranked eaters are expected to show up, along with local talent. At some point, don't those dogs lose their appeal? I'm salavating just thinking about them.

We're going to try to earn our way to the July 4 championship, which will be televised by ESPN. We start at noon today in the AMC parking lot at Concord Mills.

The folks putting on the contest asked if I wanted to write about it and, since I was there, if I wanted to eat and compete. Oh, yeah. I'm in. And I'm in to win.

Just as a pitcher who has been out of the game for several months comes back fresh, strong and throwing in the 90s, a guy that hasn't eaten a hot dog for almost a year will come back hungry, rested and ready to consume.

What do you have for me Super Paul Bonebreaker Bigmouth Barlow?

Here's where I have an edge? The hot dogs are free for contestants, right? Never undestimate the ability of a sportswriter to eat free food.

What an idiot. Could we please get some sports writers in this podunk town. Floyd the barber available?

That rule applies to reporters in general, I think.
So what's the hi-lo from Vegas on the projected dog total?

DV8,I usually agree with you, but in this case, I think I'll dieffr. Or at least add a caveat to your line of argument.*WE* (as in we, the US) may not make a LFTR in the next 10 years. *WE* may not get to benefit from the technology that we first invented.But if we don't, the chinese most likely will. They have a pretty high profile LFTR program that they initiated over the last year or so, and more importantly have the incentive to build them. About 5% of their GDP alone was lost due to health costs, and that isn't even touching the external costs of peak coal, miner deaths, erosion due to pollution, acid rain, etc. etc. etc.It's really ironic. China is basically doing to the western world what the western world did to China 500 years ago this time around it isn't the western world exploiting the innovations of the chinese (compass or gunpowder), but china exploiting the innovations of the west (nuclear power, robotics, and modular construction techniques.) I'm exceedingly curious to see what will happen when the superior tech of the chinese hits the vested fossil interests in the west if history is anything to go by, there are going to be fireworks.
