Joey Chesnut: Running marathons is not healthy, I voted for Hillary, and hotdogs, gyros, burritos are not sandwiches

I didn't read the article but I agree that running marathons is not healthy for MOST people. Its fine for a runner with years of distance running experience gradually building up to a marathon but for most people running a marathon right off the couch is not a good idea. I've met too many people that run marathons off 15-30 mpw. 1 long run and a few days of screwing around is their training program.

In that picture it looks like he is eating a baby's finger.

I'm not sure, but I think it's shrimp cocktail. That's the upcoming event.

Good point. I agree. Racing a marathon isn't even too bad for you if you are well trained. The guys that get into trouble are the 4 hour runners that don't train and are actually racing all out to go 4 hours. I blame a certain running writer for runners doing the marathon on the philosophy that "you just need a long run".

WH: Is a hot dog a sandwich?

JC: I think a hot dog is pretty much separate. If you consider a hot dog a sandwich then you have to consider a gyro a sandwich.

WH: You don't consider a gyro a sandwich?

JC: It's not two slices of bread. Look, if you consider a gyro a sandwich you have to consider a burrito a sandwich.

I think a lot of people on this board need to take a moment and reflect on this.

What if my burrito self-identifies as a sandwich? I'm already confused by toasting bread having 17 slices (plus 2 crusts) per loaf, while sandwich bread had 20 slices (even number, but I eat double-decker sandwichs and would rather it work out modulo 3).

Higdon? Galloway?

The stupid Penguin deserves some blame, and Amby Burfoot during his tenure at RW.
