This goes out to the LA Beast . You think you funny drinking a 20yr old bottle of Crystal Pepsi then mimicking someone thats having a heart attack “i suddenly dont feel so good” You are a moron and nothing more than a thrill seeking jackass. You only able to get away with that bullshit because your still a kid . Grow up and stop doing damage to your vital organs which will come back to haunt you around 2035 or possibly sooner Keep eating 50 raw eggs and 7 sticks of butter with all that saturated fat and cholesorol clogging your arteries which will eventually lead to a massive heart attack or stroke . I am sure your dad cannot wait for you to move back to LA after all the aggravation you caused in the kitchen

Seiken, why would you post about LA Beast on a post that has nothing to do with him. I know it is difficult for you to focus and stay on topic when things don’t involve you but really wow, stick to your blog. its annoying when you come here and destroy perfectly good posts that are light and humorous with your pure hatred towards others.

There should be some sort of rule that prohibits competitive eaters from dating or screwing in their own organization. . Its not only sneaky but a conflict of interest.
