    This would be an awesome event to participate in. I wish I had know about it sooner as to correlate the event with my current schedule allowing for the travel to Australia and view the contest or even participate.

    Oh my god you have to be kidding. Hall Hunt is going there to “present” eaters to Slurpee master Bertoletti? Why couldn’t the MLE give another dedicated eater with excellent people skills this opportunity of a lifetime? Super Paul Barlow, Beautiful Brian, Steakbellie….these guys are worthy of a flight to Australia.

    Just goes to prove the system only works for the chosen few. When will we be reading about CLC & X ‘s recent goodwill trip to feed the hungry in a needy third world country? What about Pete Davekos getting to appear on Leno or Letterman?

    Monson…you have to be kidding? “Travel to Australia and view the contest” is ridiculous. If they had wanted you to eat, they would have asked you. Simply because you won a single contest and you post on eatfeats a lot, doesn’t make for you to be worthy of a trip or even considered. Earn your stripes and lower your arrogance a bit. Too bad Juris isn’t around to have a battle of egos.
    And please, don’t reply with a ‘if you were tough/manly enough you’d say your real name’ blah blah blah….. What I said still holds true.

    The great Ben Monson should have been selected. He has already beaten the top eater in the world.

    The great Ben Monson? Great is someone who provides a history or legend like memory. You won one stickin event. Get real. You will cash in a few events and quit; then go back to bodybuilding where you’ll stick needles in your ass and drop weights on your friggin cranium.

    I would like to throw my hat in the ring to be considered as an alternate timer if for some reason Mr Hall is unable to fulfill his duties. I actually work really well with those two and offer this video from the Gunniess Slurping Championship sponsored by 7-11 Ireland just last year:

    Doesnt it seem like there has been ALOT of contests already this year? Isnt there a recession or something? This Australia thing is awesome. I like that the IFOCE has been looking past our borders using the Shea Doctrine to preemptively place contests in countries they feel might be in danger of becoming boring. Good Work and major congrats to Bert and Hall! Thats awesome!!!

    ( I have a passport.)

    Your an idiot. I Meant I would pay my own way. It’s amazing how your so apt to misinterpretation what I say. As if every comment I make would be so egocentric. If I said i combed my hair, your damb ass would assume that I meant no one else did, and I was somehow special.

    I’m happy for Pat and Hall too. They’re both excellent eaters and really decent people.

    There are two keys to perks with the IFOCE:

    1. You had either be the # 1 eater in the US, have recently topped that person, or convince them you’re on your way to the top spot in the near future …

    OR …

    2. You had better be an eater in the top 10 (or with top 10 potential) with excellent rapport with the brass. And it certainly helps to be able to express yourself intelligently with the media.

    I doubt more than a seven or eight people fit within those parameters at any given moment. I see Ben on that list by the end of the summer.

    Rhonda is right on the mark. So many jealous people out there complain that Joe Schmoe or Jane Doe didn’t get get an invitation to attend this or that event, but you’re right. These invites are based on 50 percent personality, 40 percent eating ability, and 10 percent luck/who you know. If you don’t like the fact that you didn’t get picked, take a look at that formula and improve any or all three areas.

    I apologize for the comments I made yesterday. Whether or not they were warranted is not a precedence of reasoning. I allowed other incidences to precipitate to said event, which is not an excuse or justification for my actions. If you feel ill towards me that is your decision. I only wish you can see me for the person I am, and not this fictitious creation that has been cast about myself. I truly am not so arrogant to think or believe any of the things some have assumed.

    Once again I am sorry,
    Benjamin Monson

    It’s Just that the steroids make him look so good. Along with the SSRI’s and the all the other drugs he’s probably taking he can’t control himself. BTW his number is 1-760-382-5633 (fuc-koff)

    WOW! If had any notion that my comments would develop into such a fiasco i would have just kept my mouth shut. It is know apparent to me why none of the top 10 post on here regularly.

    Ben you have to see some humor in it though. Next thing you know you will be a wife beating, public masterbating, giving out apples with razors in them to kids.

    You should do one of those six minute abs videos. Ooo better yet how about five minute abs.

    Ben nobdy gives a shit if youre a womanizer or not. I think you are having fun with this blog because you are new to the sport and find this type of attention directed towards you rather interesting. As time goes by you will cease posting on here because like the others such as psco bozo who became accustomed to posting 30 times a day, the comments will become less and less entertaining to you

    Usually the has beens post on here. There used to be a boxing chat room on aol around 10 yrs ago and the only ex fighter to post was a washed up middleweight dude named John ICE Scully who fought Mike Nunn 10 yrs prior . Same applies here, has beens or wannabe’s usually post here unless the great eaters choose to remain anonymous which i believe some are

    Eric post occasionally. Contrary to your beliefs I am not trying to enthrall anyone for “entertainment” or attention. Obviously you do “give a shit” or you wouldn’t have been so disposed to say anything.

    Ben Monson is the only great eater to take the time out of his bisy day to chew the fat with common people. He is already Hal o Fame material.
