Even though I paid my $15. entry fee, I hadn’t decided for sure I would go. Especially since no one had contacted me.
I guess i’m going to have to make those Flyers club box seats, or a better prize?!, mine all mine.
Happy B-day BB.com. Better you than me!
Congrats Erik. I bequeth you some tucks for the firey pain. Also, better you than me.
I believe Boone won $10. per dog ($240.) for driving 70 miles north. Not bad, for a slightly larger than normal meal.

For Joe, I’m one of the chairs of the contest. Prizes are evolving. I’ll give you a call this afternoon.

Joe, (I’m trying to help you out here), I hope the Bubba Dogs people don’t pull a David Letterman, like that time Crazy Legs received a mere $25.00 gift certificate to eat at Red Lobster for his Oyster performance on Letterman a couple of years ago.
Though Legs smiled and seemed appreciative, he must have felt at least a bit insulted, because $25.00 would not evein BEGIN to cover an appetizer at a seafood restaurant for a competitive eater.
Could you imagine how much money it would take to feed Sonya at an Oyster House?
