What time does the Gyoza contest start? That’s got two of the top three eaters in the world and the great Rich LeFevre! I really don’t care about this fabricated, highly publicized, overrated Krystal qualifier. Who’s with me?

So what? I thought he was going to do 100+ There are at least seven eaters who can eat 58 Krystals. This will keep Humble Bob away from the center of the table.

Bubba I think you can eat close to 58 mini-burgers. If not, it won’t be long before you do so.

Bob had eaten 90, but he was penalized 32 burgers for “excessive debris.” About time.

Sketchy. I think he is only eating half in order to mess with the other competitors mentally OR excessive debris!

Yeah he can probably do 250.

I thought Bob went there to set a new Chatty record as an absolute minimum.

Bob will put up over 90 again at the finals. There was nobody really to push him this year at the Chattanooga qualifier. Why would you try to eat 100 and risk reversing and getting disqualified when you could eat at a decent pace and still double anyone else’s total? He will go all out in September at the final table.

Why could he not at least break a damned girl’s Chattanooga record?

Dr. Bigtime will not eat 50. Being from TN, I’ve heard from the locals he has been claiming 45 is his sticking point. Although he is still trying for 50.

What was the rest of the totals? Larry? Booba? Nafgizer?

According to the twitter Humble Bob blames burgers sticking to the boxes for his lackluster performance, I think we should nickname him Liar Bob. Bob do you know how many eaters would give they right arm to eat 58 ?

Have you noticed Sonya does not even bother mentioning Humble Bob’s victories anymore ? I wonder why

She hasn’t noted any victories lately. I never took her site to be a news reporting agency anyway. Isn’t that what the IFOCE, eatfeats, and to a lesser degree, Brian Seiken, does?

Have you ever thought deeper into it to realize that maybe Sonya is doing Humble Bob a favor by not dtating how many he ate? Weren’t people expecting him to do triple digits?

Passed out from a lack of calories? He probably should have done the same last year during the finals.

If he does 120 will be underneath the table or in the dunking soup.

Bob started out on record pace, we all faded at the end badly, it really looked like all 14 of us “hit the wall” at the same time.
Some weak, but kind of true, excuses.
There was no updates on time – only twice was time remaining, or time already gone by mentioned – I heard George say at two minute mark ‘Bob is on a record pace” he had something like 38…..I was finishing13, so I thought I was well on my way to about 25 or so. Within a minute, we heard “2:20 left”, and I know I was thinking WHAT???…but it was too late to pick up the pace. All of us were below personal bests……Second excuse – I was talking to Rick afterwards, we both thought the Krystals were more “oniony” than usual, and the buns were a little tougher. The Krystals were stored in coolers before the contest, maybe that had something to do with it. Third lousy excuse: It was extremely humid – but, hey, it’s always hot during Krystal season!
I blame myself – I was going to use my cell phone stopwatch, but was afraid to put it in the “splash zone’. When I won the Six Flags Triathlon, I also destroyed my old cell phone because liquid got inside of it. Plus, I talked to almost all the other eaters, none of us had done any two minute drills, or in most cases, even eaten a Krystal this week – BAD PREP on our parts!! Larry, at least, put up a respectable number, but he also was fading at the end. Rick didn’t even “chipmunk” at the end, he was done…and the other Rick, Rick Schumacker (who ate 21 Krystals last year in his debut), struggled, too.. he finished in the mid teens along with Mike Nafzinger.
Still, the stage was great – the crowd was into it, Kenny-Brad-Keith all did a great job..and George was as funny as I’ve ever heard him – twice during the contest I started laughing with my mouth full, which also slowed me down…by the way, a “key” person was missing due to budget cuts….I’d tell you, but I don’t want to break your hearts!! Hey, maybe that’s why we didn’t eat as much, our hearts were aching!! Yeah, that’s it!! I am determined to make Atlanta much better…for one thing, it’s indoors!!

I think that was a misprint or type error. It should have read Humble Bob passed gas not passed out

Paul i am laughing so hard with my mouth full i cant take it any longer. It is so hilarious i am in stitches! George was funny as you have ever heard him? If “Elvis has left the building” Or “I havent been this emotional since the birth of my firstborn” is considered funny then you have a very warped sense of humor Paul.

Tell me another one, you forgot “whether i have to cheat lie beg or steal i will never go hungry again” Mike C sometimes uses that one at George’s insistance

Anonymous 8:54am , have you ever watched a celebrity award show such as grammys oscars or the president of the U.S at a dinner function? When a performer makes his little speech after accepting the award the audience laughs at something they said. Most of the time there is little if any humor but they are expected to laugh out of respect for the person on stage. That’s the same when applied to George Shea’s repetitive un humorous one liners. This is not to say that he is not funny and witty which he is, but we have heard those same lines at all the ifoce contests and i think it’s time to find some new material. You laugh because it came from a celebrity like George Shea , right? If it came from anyone other then George would you still be in tears from laughter? If you were LYAO then you must laugh at everything regardless of whether it is funny or not . FYI the 9:29 comment was from gone with the wind. So much for originality !

TMAO what is your point? Where are you going with this? Do you build your life around opinions? I have better things to do, like walk my dog.

To sum it up in shorter terms when audience laughs at something that is not funny it is sometimes referred to as a reflex chuckle similar to when someone has a nervous cough not due to cold. They should invent some type of medication for both or use canned laughter from old tv shows.

There is no point and i was not going anywhere with it. I was just responding to SPPP comment claiming that George was so funny that he had to slow down or he would have coughed up his food. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ! Go walk your dog i guess thats even funnier .

Yo i remember when Pat won the turkey contest in nyc two years ago . Pat accepted his award and then he says someting like I havent been this emotional since the birth of my newborn son. George replied with something like these little snot noses need to learn some respect. Now that shit was funny!

Tell Me Another One, let’s hear some of your clever remarks. This sounds like more sour grapes from the WLOSER league owner. Can’t wait to hear the witty banter from a class F idiot’s flunkie during your next 25 dollar prize snot eating contest in Nowhere, USA. WLOSER Announcer: “Why did the chicken cross the road? So the great world champion of all time Hayboy’s mommy wouldn’t drive over it, and so that the great champion wouldn’t choke it like he does with his own bodily attached poultry!” ha ha ha ha ha.
