Kobayashi-san will 'go to the dogs' no more

Just a quick one tonight as its quite late and I want to hit the sack.

Firstly I'm getting very excited about the day at the dogs on Sunday. Tommorow Lizzy & I are off to buy a hat to wear to the dogs.

Secondly, I promised to explain what a turducken is for the vegetarians out there. Jacko will like this (he wasn't keen on the vegetables yesterday). A turducken is a Turkey stuffed with a duck that has been stuffed with a chicken.

I had never heard of these creations before discovering the International Federation of Competitive Eating. Big news recently is that hot dog eating world champion Takeru Kobayashi has strained his jaw and may need to retire from competative eating. Oh the humanity! He also holds the record for eating cow brains (57 cow brains—or 17.7 lbs—in 15 minutes...and the record for Krystal Hamburgers (97 in 8 minutes)...and lobster rolls (41 in 10 mins).....and rice balls (20 lbs in 30 mins). Will the international competitive eating community recover from this blow? Only time will tell.

You only seem to mention the good things that Kobayashi has done. Check out this.

Its a link to him losing a hotdog eating contest against a Kodiak bear. Now there is an eating machine.

I could definately go a turducken though. You have made me hungry.
