Joey ate 66 hot dogs while Miki finished off 38 3/4 of them.
The mere thought of eating so many in one sitting makes my
stomach hurt :)
Competitive gluttony promoted shamelessly by the media and processed
foods industry as some kind of quaint new secular tradition on the
4th leaves me sickened always.
Joey got busted by the cops for assault its on Youtube. Joey has the
body of a wimp.

The policeman explained surveillance video from the bar showed Chestnut
whacked the man in the face after the two appeared to have some kind of
issue over a handshake. But Chestnut said he was rCLat a loss.rCY
rCLIrCOm sorry,rCY he said. rCLMaybe I felt like I was being threatened or outnumbered. I donrCOt know.rCY
After he was shown the video of the battery, Chestnut reiterated that
he didnrCOt remember anything rCLat all.rCY
...
rCLThe resolution of the case, including a sentence of six months of probation, reflects what this incident truly was rCo an isolated misunderstanding rather than anything more serious. We appreciate the professionalism of the parties involved in reaching a fair and appropriate outcome.
rCLMr. Chestnut is moving forward and remains committed to being a positive member of the community.rCY
