    Will this is your big chance to join the IFOCE. What are you waiting for,. DId you sign a special code of ethics as an independent eater?

    I’ve been considering it but I don’t know if they’d even have me due to me being somewhat known. We also know I lack capacity. I’ve been offically turned down by arnie and coondog for a return to ape. Not that I was all gung-ho for it to begin with. Who knows what the future holds.

    Yeah Will. You are a sure bet to take the French’s Mustard belt next year.

    I believe that the addition of a Will Millender to the IFOCE is like adding a big cleanup hitter to a major league team. I can see them denying a Furious Pete because it would cause a conflict of interest due to the enormous media attention surrounding him. Willl, arnie chapman needs you more than you need him and you would be better off eating with real eaters in a real organization that appreciates your talent. Go for it and register for cheesesteak in brooklyn next week . You have nothing to lose.

    I’m confused.

    Why wouldn’t aice/ape take you back if there aren’t contracts anymore?

    All you did (as far as I know) was not want to go against aice’s founding principles by signing a contract.

    Unless you did something else to?!

    Once again let’s go bashing eating orgs. Looks like ifoce doesn’t want you Will because they probably feel that you’re not that good. It looks like aice doesn’t want because on there website it talks about loyalty.
    I guess that might be the same for you Joe, however I think you are a good eater and can compete with the top eaters in the ifoce

    According to coondog, I crossed the organization by announcing I was staying independent. I’ve got a lot to say about coondog, but ill keep it to myself for now, lol

    Will,
    It is a loss for any organization not to have a well credentialed, ethical, and entertaining eater like your self
    not participate in their events. You will be successful no matter what contests you enter. Did you hear that IFOCE. .

    We don’t know ifoce doesn’t want me because I’ve never registered. Maybe they do, maybe they dont, but nobody is banging down my door. As I’ve already admitted I’m not a capacity guy. You’re stupid if you deny me respect as a speed guy.
    Regardless of anything, my loyalty could never be questioned because I was APE biggest cheerleader when I was with them and when I thought I was possibly coming back in, I was all ready to be an ambassador for them after dale pissed off the sponsor for claiming this hot dog contest was a wloce sanctioned event. But when coondog, and in essence arnie, turned me down, all bets are off and I will never advertise for them again.

    Will if you really want to get even with those fools join the IFOCE. It will really get to them trust me on that

    So essentially, they don’t have a contract, except they do in practice.

    “Crossed the organization by announcing I was staying independent” WOW.

    I can’t wait to read the letter to Furious Pete. It probably reads something like, we don’t want any stinkin Canucks in our All-American Organization that can create more publicity in about a yr. than our org. has in its entire existence.

    Good luck on the Pizza, Will.

    Hey Boone it really shows alot of class calling wil a fat boy. Do you have any decency about yourself anymore.? By the way from the picture in your overalls you appear to have regained all the weight you lost over the past few years. Now you resemble Boone IFOCE 2004 & 5

    All kidding aside, I think Dale Boone is the best competitive eater in the world today. Anyone in the IFOCE or AICE would be beaten badly in competition against him. Chestnut is afraid of him.

    Will’s non-committal to the IFOCE could stem from the fact that he stands to make more money on the indy circuit. To date, he’s won more than $5,000 in prize money. That’s damn good dough for just touring contests in the general vicinity of his hometown. Doing his own thing, Will WINS contests and money. On the IFOCE tour, it won’t be the same… not to mention the travel expenses he’d incur over the course of a year.

    Ding ding ding! Winner! At least omeone around here is smart, mr munch.
    Its just as I said before, if I knew I could win, I’d be there.
    Its not like I’m arrogant and think I’m the best. I know I’m small potatoes. But I’m an asset to an org like APE and arnie knew it. In fact arnies response to my not signing was “I would probably have done the same thing in 94”.
    The funny thing is, boone attempted to recruit me at roccos pizza contest and I briefly, and I mean for a millisecond, considered it. Glad I used my better judgement.
