how many did joey eat in the first minute, 10? 120 seems like the max.

i think they were at 20 after 2 minutes.

120 sounds ridiculous. But who knows? 40 sounded ridiculous a couple years ago.

lol @ Harry Potter sign

I was really bored and found this on TV earlier tonight. Though I knew that Harry Potter would eventually be spoiled for me, I didn't expect it to be on national television. I was actually for some reason looking away for a split second when he turned his sign around, and then I hear my girlfriend exclaim "OH MY GOD!!!".

me: what?
gf: did you see what his sign said?
me: ya something about "and on the 7th day god built hartford"
gf: no, on the other side
me: no what?
gf: [insert harry potter spoiler here]
me: wtf, why would you tell me?
gf: ... i'm a girl

I'm by no means a rabid Harry Potter fan (I haven't even read any of the books), but I agree with others and hope this guy chokes on a hot dog. It definitely takes balls to do that in front of such a huge audience when some guy is announcing your name over a megaphone. It's one thing to spoil anonymously over the internet/driving by in a car, but this guy has rocks in his head to do it on TV. I hope someone gets even with him.

I wonder if anyone has their stomach pumped before the contest to allow for maximum room.

Joey told the reporter before the competition started that he hadn't eaten solid food in 2 days. Everything's pretty empty by that point [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
