People may not realize how good Chip was. He was an honest eater who was just as fast about as Pat Bertoletti. Joe always boasts about how fast he is in 5 minutes or less, and he is fast, but Chip Simpson would tear him a new hiney! Joe would want no part of him after one event.

On a sidenote, when the IFOCE updates their rankings again, they should include Scuzzy Bones, Brad, and Badlands, who you could argue deserves a top-15 rating. Other than those three, there arent any other eaters that I can think of that have really stood out and Vandam needs to be in the top 15 too.

I think my slaughter by Kobayashi needs to be number two now.
Last night I watched my Chicago Cubs get eaten alive by the stinkin’ Dodgers. Today I may be forced to watch the White Sox match the Cubs in eaten alive slaughterdom….why, why, why, did I have to live near Chicago when I started watching pro baseball??
6 errors in 3 games – I haven’t seen this many mistakes since the final eating totals at 2008 Broadway at the Beach! ACK – POOP – @#%@!!@ – Cubs!! Next year, they should just go back to being eliminated by the end of spring training…now I have to go take some anti-depression medicine……
