    i hope he tries, and gets bested. that would be hilarious. because he will have another oppurtunity to win won, since hes in the ifoce. another might only have one oppurtunity. take the offers that are available to you . you want something, go get it!

    A wildcard is given to the highest non winning totals of 3 qualifiers, not 1.

    That’s not correct. There is supposed to be only one wild card this year.

    well there are two wild card slots and one vacant from a qualifier so far.

    Word is LaRue is going to Charlotte to try for a win.

    Damn I dont know where I got the two wild card thing from but the MLE site says The competitor with the top non-winning performance in a qualifying contest will earn a coveted seat

    Maybe I should start competing again. Just to show that a competitive eater knows how to spell. Can’t anyone here learn how to spell? Should I teach anyone here that spelling and competitive eating are NOT mutually exclusive? Oops, sorry, the average eather doesn’t even know what “mutually exclusive” means. And, as a surprise, English is NOT my first language, but I speak and spell it better than a VAST majority of native English speakers. Just like I eat better than a VAST majority of native EATERS. But I have nothing to prove. No eating organisation cares about who is the best. All make up their rankings artificially. So that their ORGANISERS make the most money. I can beat most of the top 10 of IFOCE, I can easily beat World Champion Dale Boone. But why should I? It means nothing. Boone can lose EVERY contest in his life, but he will still be the “World Champion” by default. And so on. NEVER MIND. Competitive eating is just about making money for the ORGANISATIONS. Not about who is the best eater in the world.

    Maybe, but I won’t. Why should I fill the pockets of the Shea brothers or of World Loser Dale Boone?

    So now I officially retire. Not many people know who I am, but those who do, know what it means that I now retire… . Because I could have easily beaten them and be in the top 3, 2, 1.

    I’ve had enough of how EVERY organisation makes its stupid rules. Like IFOCE… : Do NOT compete in restaurant challenges, but we’ll overlook it if you make us money. Or like WLOCE: Dale Boone is ALWAYS the World Champion, no matter if he loses forever.

    Competitive Eating needs a REAL organisation, not an organisation like IFOCE, where the Shea brothers rank people NOT on how good they are. Nor WLOCE, where Boone is the World Champion BY DEFINITION.

    Competitive Eating has turned into a joke. And so I retire.

    “Me”.

    Never mind. When I wrote my previous article, I decided to misspell once. I bet most people didn’t even catch THAT ONE. I’m gone. Competitive Eating is a joke because it is ruled by organisations who are the biggest joke.

    “Me”.

    Why can’t you just start up your own organization? There must be some businesspeople out there who can fund such a project. This is a fringe sport, of course, but I think it’s something to think about.

    When the hell did it become a spelling bee? Damn I suck at those too.

    “Me” is the best speller in competitive eating history and will be missed.

  17. Miss Me said

    May 18, 2010 @ 11:49 am

    Damn, you’re right. I already miss Me. What will I do without Me? It’s all about Me. Too bad we won’t see any more of Me. Me – the world’s greatest eater nobody knew. It’ll take some time to get over this tragedy.

    “Me” is the #1 ranked speller in competitive eating!

    I remember one eating contest where Me’s butt got absolutely kicked by Joey, Pat, Koby, Bob, Sonya and every eater at the table. But afterwards, Me got up on stage and spelled “antiestablishment” and the crowd totally went nuts. OJ: I’ve been looking at your database but I can’t find any spelling records? Maybe you could start another website called Spellfeats? I think it would be a real hit.
