    That’s my name. I think I had it before he did, whoever he is, unless he’s over 40.

    If you look at a couple of the pics from Koby’s 2006 Krystal victory where Koby had his mouth open wide there’s a lot of resemblence to Talia’s rendition of Joey (i.e. Flickr and Krystal galleries).

    Does anyone else think that poster looks more like Gilbert Gottfried than it looks like Joey? I mean its definitely not life like.

    if you refer back to the nathan’s picture he took in i think 2006? his eyes are squinted, hence so in the drawing as well. The drawing was representing Joey’s 3 biggest accomplishments in contests… The chicken crown for wing bowl, the black jersey for krystals, and obviously the hot dog platter and belt for nathans.

    I got all the references, but the face still looks more like Gilbert Gottfried than Joey.
