    The Chestnut show is about as exciting as watching grass grow

    Conti can finish dead last as many times as he pleases It wont effect his ranking He might drop one or two spots but never more than that. Matter fact the worse he does in a contest the larger his image becomes on the wall of fame in Coney

    If Seiken wasn’t too cheap to fly out west, he could have come in dead last to keep his streak alive. He needs a few more last place finishes to secure his proud #50 ranking. I predict 1.7 lbs in Buffalo if he shows up.

    wasn’t Seiken wait-listed for Buffalo?

    in honor of the rib contest, I had Applebee’s all you can eat ribs. never again. they’re way too small (cross-cut), about the size of a quarter, and you have to feel around for the bone and pull it from your mouth.. i did manage to have 10 plates though, as well as three servings of fries, coleslaw, and a dessert. I was there from 4-8:30 PM.

    Endless Shrimp at Red Lobster start monday!

    the Never Ending Pasta Bowl at Olive Garden starts the day after Endless Shrimp ends.

    and ayce appetizers at TGI Fridays is continuing into the fall.

    in order to add excitement to MLE, I propose they make the outcomes pre-determined, like WWE. Each eater should have a theme or schtick. Eater X already does. As an example, Sonya could win a contest, and then Miki could get all upset and call in a bomb threat. then Seiken could show up and have a fight with Shredder. Kobi could storm the stage again.

    Did Stonie NOT use the umbrella technique like he used in his training video on YouTube? From this pic, it looks like he used the zipper technique:

    Denmark and Juan have quite the rivalry going on. Capacity wise they are so close to one another it’s just the speed thing ghat sets them apart at any given event.

    Just like he slept with a few eater girls and kept it on the down low. Yeah right not even in his wildest roach dreams.

    Good luck to BB in Buffalo, and I mean that sincerely.

    doesnt matter how the rest of the field finishes in Buffalo because two losers in life will only worry about how Seiken does in the contest when its over

    My prediction Seiken 1.5# and then a rant how the weighers screwed up, as he really ate more than Wild Bill: however, we all know Bill doubled his total

    “Gormand how dare you imply he used the umbrella technique?”

    Matt vouched for the umbrella technique a year ago in his training video:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxcvHIZ5nbE&list=UUd1fLoVFooPeWqCEYVUJZqg

    I was saying from the pic in the gallery of this contest, it looks like he switched to the zipper technique.

    And, btw, why are you so outraged about the technique I implied he used?

    No need to wonder how Seiken will do in Buffalo. Not that we care but we all know that answer already. Save the gas & tolls.

    I’m surprised his shit box derby car can even make it to Buffalo. All that time on the road to eat 1 lb of wings. Better off staying home and going to Hooters.

    We all know how both Goldstein cousins would finish in Buffalo .Check eatfeats database . One never finished higher than 6th and the other was too embarrassed to compete there after his incredible 1.5 lb performance in Maryland back in 2005

    and your point is? They were smart and stopped wasting their time & money.

    Hey 2:02, what makes u think these contests r real. MLE is worse than wrestling in that they pretend that they don’t know the outcome, but of course they do. George Shea is the biggest fraud of all time!

    633 cant argue that one but wont explain why one hung around close to 8 yrs. Obviously he enjoyed it

  33. anonymous said

    August 30, 2014 @ 1:12 pm

    One Goldstein’s wing eating talent won him a new Pathfinder and several vacations and the other is not a wing eater either competitively or socially. Come to think of it, neither is Seiken.. I predict dead last or under 2 lbs. Someone check under that green doo rag for the acrylic wig.

  34. anonymous said

    August 30, 2014 @ 5:25 pm

    Both Golshits are about as significant to the sport as a pile of dog shit scraped from the gutter Especially the short fat one with the cheap Beatles wig who couldnt even claim an illegitimate one like his cuz. Nobody cares what they did which wasnt much . The vacations and undeserved pathfinder mean nothing to the one that claimed it unless its acknowledged and praised by others and trust me they could give a rats ass what you got.

    The Great Gavonne speaks in volumes It is a shame that he is not in Buffalo to tear into the fakes and frauds. I would personally drive him there in a limo for entertainment purposes alone

  36. anonymous said

    August 30, 2014 @ 6:06 pm

    Make up your mind, is it a Beatles wig or a Liberace special. I am sure the new car smell in the Pathfinder is well acknowledged by its owner unlike the stench of the slum on wheels 2002 Honda that is driven by last place #50.

  37. anonymous said

    August 30, 2014 @ 6:18 pm

    He wore Beatles wig im 2004 matzah ball finals and might have thought it was too noticeable so he upgraded to a liberache special

  38. anonymous said

    August 30, 2014 @ 6:22 pm

    That 2003 slum you refer to has 181k still going strong and anyone that sees it for the first time beside a negative piece of shit like yourself, thinks its s new car.

    I love my pinto it’s 50 years old and still running strong. Anyone who sees it for the first time thinks it’s a brand new Bentley. Blah blah blah

    What is Seiken doing up making stupid comments when he should be resting so he can eat a pound of wings tomorrow.

    Proof Miki is the top woman eater. More like the top woman drinker.
