In an age of drugs, murder, extortion, embezzlement, and prostitution, where’s crime located in China? Internet cafes. The Triad has officially become lame.

Won’t somebody think of the children?

Really, it’s self explanitory.

They think they found Blackbeard’s ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge and they are planning on excavating it. Who are “they?” Most likely other pirates.

Hey! Everyone! Come to Miami! We’re playing with poop!

I guess real animals are considered too dangerous for exhibits now.

Condom factories in the Alabama fight to stay alive even with foreign aid and a lot of pork. No, not as in porking, but as in pork barrel politics, but this blog guesses that the world will never run out of either one.

Clearly, it’s a bad case of fundamentalists poisoning the town vodka supply.

As such, this blog recommends that the Russians drink more. A lot more.

The McBournie Minute: Hot dog eating

Note: The McBournie Minute is a new weekly feature appearing Mondays.

Yesterday I was spending my Sunday afternoon doing exactly what every guy enjoys doing: shopping at Macy’s with the girlfriend.

One of the cleverest things about Macy’s is they have TVs outside the changing rooms on ESPN. They know guys are going to be waiting out there and want to keep then entertained. The entertainment I had for the afternoon was a re-run of the 2006 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.

These guys eat hot dogs for 12 minutes. One guy was wearing Ultimate Warrior-esque face paint. It was sponsored by Alka-Seltzer. Awesome.

I watched as American Joey “Jaws” Chestnut took on eight-time champ Takeru Kobayashi, who is Japanese. The crowd roared as Chestnut and Kobayashi went back and forth, one pulling ahead, then the other. I secretly cheered for Chestnut.

I was amazed more than anything about the fans of this sport. Aside from the fact that it’s a sport at all. There are leagues for this kind of thing. The contest was followed by another contest involving hamburgers, followed, of course, by figure skating.

Check out the hot dog eating contest.
