    Seiken will NEVER EVER find out who OJ is. If he has not by now and no one else has either, it is not going to happen. Give it up, enjoy or go away.

    Ever stop to think that Seiken could find out who OJ is anytime he wants but like Clarabell the clown he gives him the respect by not pressing the issue

    Juliet Lee probably wishes the song “the cheater” be retired for good

    Hank Fan … that was a dumb (sounding) statement, though I think you meant it tongue-in-cheek. If not, I’ll call for a crane to lift that huge rock you’re under.

    Teenage Wasteland is kind of annoying… It’s no wonder competitors throw in ear phones.

    That’s part of Baba o’ Riley and I love it! (Though I like The Who’s “My Wife” better.)

    No song should be retired, ever.

    Blizz its all about the songs that George Shea likes. He likes Baba O Riley and thinks everyone else will but they dont

    It was just a joke. I don’t care if anyone is offended. All other “fans” go to contest.

    HF I rarely attend CE events, and I’m a fan. I don’t watch football or baseball in person either, and I’m a fan of those sports too. I suspect a few million others are like me, given that more people watched Nathan’s the world series, and the super bowl on TV/via video than in person.

    So your assertion was not a joke, and I too couldn’t care less if you’re offended.

  17. Hank Fan said

    October 25, 2011 @ 1:25 pm

    Whatever Hank. CE is different. There are not many contest on TV. That is why there are not many fans following via Internet.

    Eat It
    I cringe whenever i hear it at an eating contest (never heard it at an MLE event tho)

  19. Rhonda Evans said (Registered March 6, 2008)

    October 25, 2011 @ 2:18 pm

    Exactly, Stonie. I never heard about that particular tune being played at a CE event either, but that sphincter lock of a song sucked the first time I heard it, and it reaches an all new low each additional time it’s within earshot.

    I’ve heard “Eat it” played at several indy events. It needs to get the boot. It is totally out of place, probably the second to last song I want to hear while stuffing my face.

    The last song is still open. Maybe I’ll go with Dax’s choice. I don’t hate “Eat It” as much as Rhonda does!

    Yeah, alot of Indy event did have Eat It Naader, probaby 5 out of the 9 that i did.

    The other reason thats my choice is because Beat It is such a fucking awsome song (especially the Peirce the Veil cover)

    =]

    Dude, I’m so excited now. All this talk has pumped me up.
    I better have “Beat It”‘s solo down in a week or two, I don’t have any events soon =]

    I just had this weird dream that Seiken won a major IFOCE event called the Furious Pete bowl in which he somehow beat some of the big names names in the sport including furious pete. It was held in a deli and the contest consisted of short heats. The last heat consisted of Seiken doing a 60lb leg press. When the contest was over nobody congratulate him except for Krazy Kevin. OJ Rifkin was forced to mention the victory on his blog. Seiken only concern was how far he would move up in the rankings but the mystery remains because at that point the dream ended

    What about Seiken new album which hits the stores on black friday one day after Turkey day . It might suffer drastically because Badlands Booker did not produce it

    I hear that Seiken new CD is called Whos Next title stolen from the classic Who album . Seiken lives up to his trademark of using copyrighted material like his first CD stick to blogging. The songs will consist of ballads focusing on individual eaters in the IFOCE who’s lives and marriages were torn apart because of Seiken editorial in bits and pieces. Some of the the eaters include Stinky Miernicki Shredder and Dr Big Time . Stay tuned!

    Seiken tore nothing apart except friendships.

    Oh lord reallly? Since when were competitive eaters considered friends to begin with?

    Good luck with that Badlands. Your first CD will always be my favorite. I just love “All Day Buffet!”

    ” … That’s Badlands Booker walking through the door!”

  40. anonymous said

    October 26, 2011 @ 3:54 pm

    Good luck with what? Will it sound any different from the first one or the ones that followed.?

    October 26, 2011 @ 6:06 pm

    Thanks Rhonda! I really appreciate that. And anon 3:54 it will! Buy the CD from my store or from IFOCE.com. or Download it off iTunes and experience an unique competitive eating themed hip hop sound that you never heard before!

    Badlands, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

    As far as a 3:54, he can hug both our asses!

    I agree. “Eat It” is overkill. It will never fit. We need to hear more of the BeeGees. Imagine if they were playing “How Deep Is Your Love” during these competitions. That would be awesome!

    Retire Sister Christian. Be real, how intimitading and/or motivating is that song during eater intros? May as well go with “girls just want to have fun.”
