I love the fact that Rep Waxman,Chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform and Oversight Committee is going to look into this. This has got to be good for competitive eating. The folks on the Hill are noticing, and he is treating CE as a sport.
This is big news, as far as I’m concerned.
As far as performance-enhancing drugs being used, I think not, but I don’t know enough about the relationship between pharmacology and digestion to render an informed opinion, and I doubt Koby, Joey, or anyone else knows much about it either.

So funny. My mom told me about that article. Investigative journalism at its best. This guy writes for the free weekly newspaper in Murfreesboro, TN. I’m crying on the inside.

Yeah, about the steroid investigation… That site is like a really poor version of the onion, but for sports.

The much anticipated debut of Hurl! is tonight at 9 on G4 (at least it is around here). I can hardly keep my excitement in!

Waxman’s investigation may well have the opposite effect that Waxman is looking for, in that if he somehow does reveal information on specific stimulants that might help a competitive eater eat faster or eat more, I suspect more than a token handful of competitive eaters will be listening with pricked ears for ideas—-not that it will help.
Either you are/learn to be a good competitive eater are you aren’t/don’t.

Actually, I had a very real conversation with someone the other day about the potential use of another type of munchie-inducing performance enhancing drug on the circuit.

yeah, but we’re the only ones who’d ever have that conversation in a serious way. This article is kind of lampooning Congress looking into Baseball. It’s pretty funny actually.

Is the story out about me injecting the great Philly Guy Pete Mierniki with enhancing drugs? That is what makes him so damn awesome in the eating world.

Is this a real thread, or is my acid trip kicking in again? and why is everything up close then really far away when I only move a little bit? Why did I think that acid was a performance-enhancing drug? How come all my comments are questions? When will this s..t wear off?

Juris is not alone in loving Juris. ALL the females in the (live) audience at Coney Island on July 4th loved Juris. I think the guys are just jealous.
The author of the article sounded racist as well.

Why doesn’t Furious Pete eat IFOCE? He could easily be top 10 material.

Pete is AICE.
PA MAN said
July 16, 2008 @ 12:58 am
Pete is AICE for reasons, Aice is getting stronger because the IFOCE is selfish. It’s allways Joey or Pat.
There are other eaters out there. In AICE you can do what you want. You can eat at any contest you like and do any challenge you want to. All you people get on Chapman, but if you really think about it he’s building up his org while the Shea’s are losing popularity. Chapman takes care of his people not just 2 or 3 he probably takes care of them all while the Shea’s just worry about there wallets. I guess Pete likes to be independant.
Tonto, Pete would make the top 5 in the IFOCE. Don’t sell him short…….

PA man in the first few sentences i thought you meant Pete Miernicki . Now i realize you were talking about furious pete. I think mierniki would be better off in the aice because he might be able to dominate in that league

I am so devastated. Thank you Sweet Jill Stoler and anonymous. I don’t know how I could get up in the morning without you. It’s so degrading.
He DID sound racist, didn’t he? That’s more damaging than whatever he said about me. I can’t believe people of this day and age would say things like that. Pretty much everyone in Murfreesboro these days is a transplant & I can’t believe he said what he did about pork. I guess that’s why he writes for the free newspapaper in Murfreesboro. I really could care less. My family & my patients love me. He can say whatever he wants. He has no bearing in my life.
I do what I do and I strive to be the best. If you don’t like it, fine. I really could care less. This world is all about positivity, and making everyone feel & perform to the best of their abilities. If anyone wants to bring that down, shame on them. They have nothing to add to this world. Everyone deserves to be happy & free and anyone who disputes that can kiss my ass. Feel good and have fun doing it! Damn the naysayers! If it feels good, do it! Dr. Bigtime has spoken.

I don’t think Pete would want any part of the top three in the IFOCE, but he would kill all the rest thats fir sure.

I like the change to third person in the last sentence. In this case, the effect is pretty funny. The author of the article is a jackass. These “I eat that much at a picnic” idiots need to get on stage and see the difference.

What I like about Peggy O’Neill’s is that it doesn’t feel at all like an eating contest. It just feels like a bunch of regular Joes eating a couple of hamburgers.
