A Sea Of Red

I would NOT want Chestnut near an open fire after this:

Chestnut eats over 59 hot dogs in 12 minutes to beat Kobayashi's mark

PHOENIX -- A California man smashed the world record for hot dog eating at a contest Saturday, gobbling up more than 59 franks in 12 minutes.

Joe Chestnut, 22, of San Jose, shattered the record held by Takeru Kobayashi of Japan by downing 59½ "HBDs" -- hot dogs and buns -- during the Southwest Regional Hot Dog Eating Championship at the Arizona Mills Mall in suburban Tempe.

Yes.

That is downright nasty.

CNN reported that it is roughly 19,000 calories.

A-train would have to pour and serve for roughly 96 hours to burn off that many calories.

It would take SuperJon 88 hours of posting on FlameFans to burn off that many calories.

CiderJim would have to shoot baskets for 33 1/2 hours...

fumble would have to run 276.3498 miles, in a blizzard, back and forth from LU, with SJ on his back...

well, maybe not quite all that... but close.

I had never tried coffee with a hot dog until a few years ago at an LU football game. It was cold out and I wanted something hot to drink, and the coffee is cheaper than a soda anyway. I enjoyed it, and do it regularly now, unless it's hot out.

Actually, it would be closer to 18 hours and 40 mins, which would equate to about 111 miles at my usual 10 min mile pace...but most guys who do the 100 miler runs (like Horton)...shoot for a more realistic 24-25 hours for that distance.

How does posting on FlameFans burn more calories than drafting and serving beer?

And if I ever ate that many hot dogs (which I won't), I would just do 9 1/2 hours on the eliptical to burn it off

Calorie expenditure also depends on a person's weight...
...here is my reference table for those of you who think I'm just blowing smoke.

Of course, you have to remember, SuperJon posts like a man possessed, whereas pouring the perfect foam-topped draft is an art form which cannot be rushed...thus...less calorie expenditure.
