It's the 100th anniversary of Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs, and I'm watching the Fourth of July hot dog eating contest with a 100 year old Terrier.



Happy Independence Day!

Thanks, Jack! I smile every time I see that rope knife photo - Popeye and a ship for a background. :thumbup:

Wow r8shell, that is a beauty. Sounds like a great way to spend the 4th! When I was young, I had the frame of a garden-rake, and I could eat endlessly. Now, I'm older, and far from rake-like, and yet a regular meal fills me up! What happened?! :confused: :D

Thanks! The pen blade spring has no snap, but the main blade is as good as a knife half its age. :D

Competitive eating is a young man's game, I'm afraid. :D It has something to do with flexibility, I believe. Joey Chestnut just regained his title as the champ by eating 70 hot dogs and buns in ten minutes! :eek:

Good wholesome fun. Now I'm going to open a beer and enjoy one hot dog. Maybe two. :)

Ouch! I think you are right! :eek:

The only time I ever did anything like this was as an 18 year old, when I stumbled upon a contest to drink 8 pints of beer from a bucket. I won the contest - first prize was a free pint of beer! :eek: :D

That beauty looks like it has still got a couple hundred years life left!

I've got an American trio helping on the grill today. Robeson Barlow, Camillus TL-29, and Case Mini Copperhead holding down the fort. Lotsa meat cooked today!

My incredible wife whipped up some from-scratch bbq baked beans (made with only one CUP of Bourbon) and some lovely potato salad to try to balance out the meat fest that I created.
 
I'm off to sunny Huddersfield in the morning to see ADEE. Going to have a load of recent acquisitions in my bag, and these two in my pockets :) :thumbup:
