If you have not already Joined the BVCICGF Facebook Group. Last chance to order t-shirts! E-mail me size you want.. Boozer vs. Corn Update: “Hot Dog Eating” An evening to be remembered for sure… The first majorly spectated event for the BVCICGF. If you weren’t there, you missed out. With 20+ in attendance this was truly a spectacle. Both competitors undertook a major effort to train for this event through research and starvation in the three days they had to prepare. This left a rather cranky “Corn” and “thirsty” “Boozer” complaining for the better part of an hour before the competition about how hungry they were. Both were very anxious to compete in this event. At 8:25 the introductions were done. This included the star spangled banner and boxing style entrance into the arena (the back yard). Rules were as follows: 15 Oscar Mayer beef franks and buns per competitor. First to finish all 15 or most complete hot dog + buns that were consumed in 5 minutes would win. Both hotdog and bun must be eaten to count. You could eat a quarter of a dog as long as ¼ of both dog and bun were eaten. At the 5 minute mark anything in the mouth may be chewed and swallowed but nothing maybe added to the mouth. Any regurgitation would disqualify. With Drew and I in close observance, at the start, both competitors used similar strategy, dunking buns in water and eating dogs separately. Despite the crowd’s heckles and raucous demeanor both participants remained focused and went neck and neck until the 4:45 second mark. At that point Mike dealt what looked like the deathblow to boozer and went ahead with a huge final bite of ½ of a dog. The event seemed to have gone to Mike as boozer was at that point spent. At the five minute mark both competitors had 9 dogs down and mike with an additional mouthful of his 10th dog. Mike had a very full mouth. When he went to respond to his girlfriend's question/comment, a large piece of dog was ejected from his mouth. (see pics, we have the exact moment of expulsion). Mike was not allowed to return the ejected piece of meat to his mouth and it was returned to his plate of uneaten dogs. Of course this started a major controversy. The BVCICGF Officials inspected the piece of ejected meat and decided to go into seclusion to decide the fate of the event, all while the now bloated Corn and Boozer fought about it outside for 15 minutes. The Officials consulted, and giving plenty of time for the drama to unfold, the decision was made; not being satisfied with mikes effort on the 10th dog and per professional competitive eating competition rules it was decided we would have a 5 dog eat off, much to the competitors dismay. We gave them 15 minutes to digest. The overtime would be first to 5 dogs or most finished in 15 minutes. Both competitors used this time to try and burn off what they just ate. Boozer swam in the pool, mike jumped rope. With drew now peppering us with very selective musical accouterments such as, “highway to the danger zone” and “ the final count down”, the overtime period commenced. Boozer came out steady and by the 10 minute mark he had 4 of 5 down compared to Mike’s 1 1/2. Seemingly ahead, all he had to do was “hold his lunch” until the bell. Mike having had his fill of lips, assholes and nitrates, tried to play the time card and let boozer puke before time was up. Boozer, with eyes and stomach bulging, was in true sportsman fashion able to hold on and take the event. Not long after the official decision Boozer let loose the medium of his victory into a Home depot bucket ( see pics). Mike attempted to make his evacuation less public and went behind the fence by the pool equipment only to be caught by the camera of Mr. Chris McGee who drove 10 hours to attend this event as his first stop on his 10,000 mile US road trip. The competition stands at a very close 9-8, Corn over Boozer.
