Liz is a credit to the CE community . Another gem of a writeup. To reitorate what i mentioned before, I hold no animosity towards the Nathans scenario. It was a great event. I am grateful in recieving an upgraded viewing pass as opposed to others that had to take a back seat in the crowd. I understand a limited amount of passes were given to the IFOCE and i respect that. Do i deserve that pass? It’s a matter of opinion. My beef was not about the “pass” it was about obtaining a better view so i could get better photos of the event. I caught a nasty attitude from someone which is what ticked me off. Thats all. The same person could have taken the high road and said ‘Hey Brian i cant swing it right now but feel free to pep talk the eaters in the back if you like” . Unfortunatly the total opposite occured and it showed what kind of people im dealing with. I wont sit here and blah blah about how many years of dedicated service i have contributed to the organization as others have boastfully stated on this site time and time again . By doing that i open myself up to the moronic regulars that frequent this site and cant wait to badmouth me under alias identities. I am sure one of those moronic negative post’s will follow directly after mine. And for those assholes who have a problem with my spelling , at least i can spell people’s names right and spell the word “might instead of “mite” Geez Christ!

BB why have you been bashing Cookie Jarvis lately? I thought you guys were friends? He didn’t seem to be bashing you in his replys. He seemed to be just stating why the IFOCE couldn’t swing an extra pass to you in such short notice, and that just set you off Brian. I hate to see the architects of competitive eating fighting over something so foolish. You guys just need to hug it out!
