Have you ever heard of the Barkley Marathons? I saw some documentary on that a while back. That's some crazy shit. Sounds like fun.

Two sporting events on the 4th I'd love to attend. This and the Mount Marathon race in Seward, AK. Actually, I'd rather compete in the Mount Marathon. The one my wife and I always half-joke about doing is the 'Wife Carry' contest because there's such a size disparity between us... and I also think it would be fun to watch. Although, I do kind of think it's cheap that contestants don't necessarily have to be literally married. As a company event, we had to run a course while staying in physical contact with our buddy. My buddy was a woman under 5 feet and maybe 100 pounds. I carried her, we won, were accused of cheating, ran it again the "right" way, and won again.

They should've given you a promotion for thinking outside the box!

The trail is already paved out for them?
Like they're not running through vines, branches, sticker bushes, trees, treading through waist deep water?
That's cute - cute lil paved out mountain bike trail 
Looks fun though - and that's what it's all about 
Have you ever heard of the Barkley Marathons? I saw some documentary on that a while back. That's some crazy shit. I had never heard about it. 100 miles in 60 hours? I am pretty sure I can do 1 mile in 0.6 hours, so that doesn't sound so hard!

The Superbowl of eating.
I don't think I ever eat more than 2 hotdogs at one sitting.

If I entered this contest it would mean peeing Xenomorph blood out my ass for the next 2 days.  |

Hard to tell from the pic, does Joey eat 'em plain or with all the toppings? I imagine he could chow more down without the toppings but, well, sometimes you just got to have the mustard. No toppings. They eat the dog, then dip the bun in water and smush it into their mouths. It's pretty disgusting, but oddly fascinating to watch. That is the perfect way to describe it. It's gross yet you can't look away. Did you see the 30 for 30 on this? It was a bit of a hard watch!

As far as titles are concerned -
Ric Flair and John Cena are the GOATS - 16 World Championship wins
Cena/Flair - 16 Chesnut - 15 Nadal - 14 (French Open) Maggie Court - 11 (Aussie Open) Russell - 11 (NBA) Richard - 11 (NHL)

Whatever happened to that Japanese guy who used to win every year before Chesnutt? Anyone remember his name?
