Another Year Without Nathan's

Every year since I first did the Ben's Matzah ball eating contest, I have been dying to see how many Nathan's Hot Dogs I can eat. The problem I've had is every year without fail I've always had something going on the day of the qualifier. Damn the luck. This year I actually signed up early with nothing planned that day. Then it happened. Not one thing but two things planned in addition to the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. The contest starts at 5PM at the LI Ducks Stadium (Citibank Park), but I'll either be in Floral Park at Dan's Grad Party or at the Brooklyn Cyclones Stadium (Citibank Park). This time it was my choice to not do the contest. Oh well, why break the streak? There's always next year. Hoffman to beat the Asian Eating Machine in 2006!
