Pat wont eat what he did last year. Dale Boone will crash his party and wipe him out. Dale Boone is the greatest competitive eater who ever lived.

Pat is over an hour late the contest was supposed to start at 1:00pm. I guess we know who those two fruit loops (Shea $i$$ters) wanted to win.

Dale Boone can’t hold Pat’s jock. Matter of fact Dale Boone can’t wipe his own ass with both hands tied behind his back.

We tried to congratulate Tim Brown – he sucker-punched us, broke wind, and then, vomited all over my friend’s hair!

Good to finally meet you, also, Tim. Hope we somehow last until the finals. Lots of good performances today.

No Hangman in Atlanta? His appearance would have completed the all-star cast of eaters.

What did hangman do?
Hungman promised us hangman, the impostor competitive eater, would only do 15.
Did hangman get LAST PLACE AGAIN with only 15?
Tell us Almighty HUNGMAN, tell us.

21, and I finish eighth?? What’s the world coming to? Incredible job, fellow eaters! And I have to admit, PieGuy, and the two newbies that came in doing backflips, had better entrances than me! That really hurts, finishing fourth in the best entrance category!
I really wanted to at least tie BB in Krystals, but he was obviously determined to beat me! Thank goodness he isn’t 50….yet….or I may lose my “valuable” ranking in the senior league. It was cool to finally meet Wing Kong, and get to see BB, Shredder, Buffalo Jim, Steakbellie, Pat, Gravy, and Damien. Thanks for making the trip to Atlanta – I need to build up my brownie points, and gas money fund, so I can head north for one of our contests. The only bad thing about these qualifiers is we all have to haul butt immediately after the contest, and can’t spend quality time belching, drinking, farting, and telling lousy semi-true stories to each other.
Lastly, we are absolutely getting more fans – Lenox was mobbed, the biggest crowd I’ve seen there for a contest – and they actually knew our names….like I said…What’s the world coming to??

I think the Hangman overslept and then became scared to compete against some of the names at Atlanta. I’ll have to investigate, but my spidey senses are tingling, which can only mean one thing. More to come….
Good efforts by all that did show.
Hungman OUT

Hey man that was an awesome event. Brad is the man. I think i could have done 30 but my iced tea that i used for dunking was still cold after 2hrs. No excuse SuperPaul was right up my ass and i knew it, so i had to put it into first gear. I wanna send a shout out to some great people. Gravy Brown who i met for the first time is one cool dude. Steak and Kong super guys, class acts, Jim Reeves is a legend. Shredders ego is too full right now after those two chicks looked as though they wanted to get down with him ,so ill check back later when i can get through Ryan i hope my breath didnt kill you on the plane ride home.

Hang it up, Hungman said

Hangman, while being a not-so-hot eater, is a good guy. He goes on these misguided rants on this website, but in person, he is friendly, nice, and has a funny act with his whip, and other nonsense. Hungman is funny also, but it’s time to retire your mean-spirited tirades at our 177th ranked eater.
Our master of misguided measurements makes many mistakes, but life without him filling the all-important last place slot in our contests, “whipping” us into a frenzy through ridiculous rantings on this site would leave us only partially full, and more devoid of taste. When he shows up, the contest instantly has a lot more flavor. Rant on, you crazy whippersnapper!
And by the way, he was never registered for Atlanta, which may be why he wasn’t there – now who’s the wrongly writhing writer, hunghead?

There is nothing mean spirited by what I say about my good friend & idol the Hangman. Nice he is, funny….well that’s another story. Most eaters are not impressed by his act and neither am I as a fan. If I want to see an act with a whip, I will go to an S&M sanctuary.
By you saying, “he takes the last place slot in our contests,” one can only assume that you are an IFOCE eater who must hide behind an anonymous post. Who are you?
I only heard he was going to Atlanta from others on this site so I am so sorry if I was mistaken for once. I feel shame and will go hang my head in a corner. Would have been nice for the folks in Atlanta if he was there.
Hungman OUT (but will be back)

we know that lefevre or janus will win memphis but i I think butiful brian will come through with his prediction of 31 so he doesn’t look bad in elvis town.
