    I like it when you post pics OJ! I think if you did this more, you would get more hits. BTW, why don’t you have any ads on your site to help pay for the webhosting fees?

    Imagine Raidkin in a bath tub full of his loyal rabid roach friends.

    Check out Conti’s photographer friend Erin Wigger’s photos of competitive eaters. One disturbing photo shows the former pickle champ and soon to be de-ranked #50 sitting in a mold and crud covered bath tub playing with pickles. This den of filth was no studio set, for it was the actual bathroom of the subject.

    What has the mumbling midget accomplished in his sorry ass life except for trying to prove to his deadbeat dad that he can eat more than 9 hot dogs and buns . Pretty sad if you ask me

    can someone pull up that video of those two stooges trying to show up a legendary pickle champ with their pathetic attempt at humor eating and spitting those shitty hot dogs ?

    Did he purposely make the tub look bad, or did he forget to clean it before taking the pic?

    That’s his bathtub on a good day. I’ll bet the green soap used to be white. It’s amazing how Erin managed to keep the roaches out of the shot.

    This is the beginning of 11 photographs of eaters. Some new MLE eaters will not know about some of them. They are all excellent portraits by a professional photographer. The eaters were lucky to have their photos taken. Seiken sometimes forgets the good things some people did for him and he trashed them anyway. Why not tell everyone that there are other eaters photographs as well.

    “Why not tell everyone that there are other eaters photographs as well.”

    I would have, but I assumed they would find out there was a gallery of eaters when they clicked the Brian Seiken link I gave.

    Allen Goldstein was asked to be photographed with any food of his choice, but he politely declined the offer.

  19. anonymous said

    February 1, 2016 @ 11:53 pm

    He declined because high quality lens would have picked up on the scotch taped liberache special

    10 of the photos share a subtle artistic whim and the esoteric dynamic between food and the eater, the other shows a slob sitting in a filthy bathtub staring at a pickle.

    The problem is 9 of the 11 eaters are from NYC. The author was being lazy and not doing her job. As were the Sheas.

    I don’t know what is more disgusting; the tub mold or the fat slob sitting in it. Just threw up in mouth.

    Seiken video was very creative. Allen Goldstein tries to play off the fact that he is wearing a wig by allowing his cousin to yank at it knowing that he either used excessive scotch tape or generous amount of crazy glue to insure its secured to the scalp

    I tell ya that Seiken looks like a real sexpot sitting in that tub

    Who knows if the Sheas had anything to do with this and whether or not she was paid for her highly professional work. She may have simply wanted to do this project. Photographer was not being lazy at all. If people pay to fly someone and all expenses, that’s a different story. These photos are part of an excellent photographers portfolio and copyrighted as such. I think the one of Kobayashi is particularly wonderful, same of Janus. They are all excellent. Okay…..the pickle photo is okay, the subject did not go to the trouble of really setting things up for his best appearance. Enuf said.

    Maybe he used Gorilla Glue……Get it? Gorilla….

    Erin took another photo that Seiken used for the cover of Stick to Blogging CD. Sheas had nothing to do with it. Erin was a friend of Conti and he recommended some names she could use in the photo shoot. No monetary gains for either party. She payed for the props such as pickles out of her own pocket

    I like the picture of Ray The Bison with the Ham and Patatoes from Years ago.The scowl on his face says it all.

    I heard through the grapevine that Seiken complained that Erin brought only enough food for the photo shoot and nothing extra to stock his dirty fridge.

    I like Seiken’s poker picture of him holding pocket aces. What a mug. It’s amazing he’s still single.

    Forget pocket Aces. I would rather have an Ace and a King of the same suit, and 10, J, Q of the same suit for the community cards, so I would a royal flush. I would go all in by the river. That beats pocket aces anytime.
