Dale Boone starts WLOCE website
A comment by Crawfish contained a link about Dale Boone’s victory in the corndog eating contest at Corndogorama. In the pictures, Dale Boone is wearing a World League of Competitive Eating baseball cap and has a shirt with a .com address. Trying WLOCE.com reveals that a website has been set up at that address. The site has a standings list which Dale Boone leads. P.Thayagarajan, mentioned as an Indian giant and a possible entrant in last year’s Nathan’s finals on IFOCE.com, is #6. Most of the links on the page are inoperable, but a contact page and safety guidelines are available.
update The Salisbury Post has a report about Dale Boone’s victory in the Apple Ugly qualifier last night

Is that the WLOCE website or the Dale Boone website? Ah, I kid (sort of). It’s cool to see another eating league though. The next time someone starts an independent league, will you PLEASE try creating a food-related acronym? Something like E.A.T. or B.I.T.E. or C.H.E.W.?

Tiny:
I noticed that as well. I thought “maybe I just missed something” when it appeared he had a head start of the competition. Then again, maybe it was just a delay in the audio/video.

Any league is better than a league that attempts to lure disgruntled IFOCE members to eat at their table so they can be used as a scapegoat to prove that they are a superior league than the IFOCE. Get the picture?

Thanks Tiny, now he can get back to writing copy.
I think Dale has a reputation for those types of moves. Or he doesn’t know how to count.

Hot dogs. The H stands for Hot dogs. It’s an all hot dog league. Maybe corn dogs too.

Right now I think the top twp or three independent eaters have it the best overall —– freedom of choice, self-governance, self-marketing, and numerous opportunities for profit.
Said another way, except for Joey and Pat, who are making all of what little money there is in IFOCE-sponsored contests these days, I’d rather be in Gentleman Joe’s shoes, as an eater, than anyone else in the IFOCE or AICE.
I might not agree with some of his remarks or the tone of his comments, but he’s proving to have had more foresight and more accurate vision than most of the other eaters. Others may want to ponder following that aspect of his example.
Sonya, you, in particular, need to take note.

It was a “head start” for sure.
For such a Big Mouth eater this guy sure is hungry for attention.

hi …
might as well note that WLOCE means serious business. So the webpage was defunct for quite sometime …who cares? but yes, people, check it again.
