In the most recent website update, I removed some eater links that were either private myspace pages or apparently abandoned blogs. Those links were removed because there was not much new information on them available to the general public and not because of issues with any of the removed eaters. Some of those links have been restored.

EATORF.com has opened. They also have a cafepress merchandise page like the UEPa. The home page gives their mission statement:

E.A.T.O.R.F. is here to introduce and celebrate competitive eating on a consistent basis to the good people of NEPA. As one of the fastest growing sports in America, competitive eating offers the average character with a supernatural eating capacity and speed with which he or she eats a chance to shine and show off his or her skills in a way the typical family dinner frowns upon. If you’re one of the gifted then we have a special place for you where you’ll be honored, cheered for, and appreciated. And, if you’re one of the best, you’ll be rewarded with some cash and prizes, too!

(From R Suzuki) If you cannot find enough competitive eating material on the internet, you might want to check out Kana Kanisawa’s blog at http://ameblo.jp/kana-de/ She might have more entries than all other competitive eating blogs combined. She made 615 posts in March (there were 145 entries last month on this website)

Brian Seiken has a message to his readers on beautifulbrian.com:

After reading through the countless number of emails from loyal supportive and caring fans i had no choice but to bring back Beautifulbrian.com after just a 4 day hiatus. I had no intention of bringing back the site anytime soon until certain issues were ironed out. Some of those issues i mentioned during the brief hiatus. Although all of your emails were sincere and heartwarming to say the least, the one that really convinced me was from a little girl(so she says) who claimed she couldnt sleep because mommy was upset that i took the site down. OMG ive heard it all!
