    I think its a spit in the face that my name never even came up in the ceremony. I understand this was Kevin’s day and i wish him the best but to make believe i never competed against him or that i never played a part in his success , was obviously planned out for some vengeful or spiteful reasons.I could have told them i wasnt interested in doing the escarole and pickle title rally’s which would have screwed up their gigs with animal planet and INHD but i went through with it anyhow because the Shea’s asked me to do it. I could have told them “not interested” with that farce pickle exhibition at Planet Hollywood in 2006 where i was set up to lose just like escarole but i went through with it anyway . This is the thanks i get by shitting on me at Kevins ceremony?. Oh and by the way Don Lerman, its so nice that you have such kind words about the Shea’s and IFOCE now that they allowed you to judge the Cannoli contest. It wasnt that long ago that you were bitchin about them on your website. I have no problem calling a spade a spade or if you want the definition of that term, its telling it like it is! All i can say is watch for upcoming news regarding my website. It might be the last update you will ever see PERIOD!

    I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every eater who ate with me at all the contests I have eaten at over the years. You made my 10 year career so much fun and gave me so many memories. I would also like to thank George and Rich and their staff, present and past, for everything that you did for me. Of course, my buddies Don and Ed who are now two of my best friends and to whom I talk to almost every day. I have made many friends in the IFOCE and that is worth more than all the trophies I have on my trophy table. I would like to especially thank my pickle nemesis, Beautiful Brian, for being there to beat me and being there for me to beat him 🙂 , back and forth over the years. Without his being there, my career would not have been nearly as interesting as it was. I have friends in many cities now because of the IFOCE, many whom I love to look up when I visit, including Rich and Carlene LeFevre and Kid Cary DeGrossa in Vegas. Ray the Bison Meduna, when I get up to WA, hope to see you again. 🙂 Most of the rest of the guys are local and hope to see you again soon when I come to visit a contest. Badlands and Godfather and Crazy Legs you were great. You usually gave me a hard time, but I enjoyed it. Takeru Kobayashi, hope you find success in your next endeavors and Lorraine and I enjoyed having you and your girlfriend as our guests when we went to the Jay Leno show taping. To all the new guys and gals on the circuit, it is time for you to shine and have fun. Thanks to everyone, once again.

    Sincerely,

    Kevin “Krazy Kevin” Lipsitz

    I’m currently working on a system that would make it much easier for people to navigate the site instead of logging into a page and then having to use the back button to return to the same page.. I cannot run bits and pieces through spell or grammar check because it wont allow me to copy and paste the body of the text into that program unless i do it manually or word word which i don’t have the time for. The only reason i stick with aol all these years instead of another web program is that aol provides me with unlimited bandwith for videos if you know the html tricks of the trade and i do. . With other websites they give you 15 or 20 min tops for video upload and if you want a few minutes more it costs a fortune. You have to deal with their glitches and technical issues with aol but for the little money i invest per month its worth it. I’m not reeling in a profit for the work i do, so why should i invest big money in putting together a glamorous website for some unappreciative assholes such as the idiot with the childl like mentality of a 9yr old that posted this comment the other day. goodbye bb said,
