kobayashi the eater

does anyone happen to have a tape of kobayashi the word famous record eater of hotdogs (53 in 12 minutes) in the fox tv show 'man vs beast' where he goes head to head with a kodiak bear? i have looked all over the net and on soulseek and on kdx and i cant find that **** anywhere. i reallly really want that tape. it helps me get in the mood for bike riding (see- this is on-topic i swear!).

sorry i don't have a tape. however, i saw him 2 years ago in coney island eating in person. that time he ate 50 1/2 in 12 minutes (the guy keeps getting better). it was a freak show for sure. a few friends and i had our own hot dog eating contest last weekend. the winner had 10, and i came in second with 8.

I haven't seen one. However, how to do use soulseek? It looks rather complicated.

theres a new replacement for mac but i forget what its called. my mac friend uses it. i like my pc system.

slsk is the best. kdx is kinda cool too for some things (used to be hotline if you ever used that).

just download the program and start using it. on the forums there are a bunch of different 'test' versions.

slsknet.org

but keeping on topic: if anyone could find me that tape especially d/lable form i would be forever indebted. i am thinking about contacted fox to see if i can order it.

i am seriously obsessed right now..

Soulseek rules, its what made me up my downloading standards to whole albums only. Its not too hard to use once you get used to it. Hint: sort by transfer speed.

I wonder if he would fare well in, say, a pie-eating contest, or if he specifically trains for hotdogs, like the Lance of eating.

nah, he has other records as well. for example, the most cow brains.

usually eater athletes have a niche they specialize in, though.

there is this other woman who is even tinier than kobayashi who has the record for the most oysters eaten: 432 in 10 minutes. she is called 'the black widow' and apparently she is in a match on tv tonight i think on like animal planet. but i dont have tv channels so im outta luck.

dude. unless there are two contests then that was a kodiak bear and it was the fox show man vs beast that inspired me to post this on a bicycle forum. consider yourself a privileged mutha for getting to see that.
