Pride Comes Before Puke
The pride of Neenah, Wisconsin, Justin Franken has just started a mental victory lap. This man-bear devoured his tray of medium garlic wings, a feat no other man accomplished this day. On the left, Wabeno Legend, Todd Veeser has accomplished saturation, while Lou Hoefs reaps the rewards of chewing through a mountain of Wings, while knocking down 1-2-3-4, I said 4 bottles of beer, go Shawano!
ICU Bar & Grill in Neenah provided Justins Wardrobe, and that “Hey There Boo Boo” smile, that’s pride. All the standard words of encouragement echoed from the crowd. C’mon dad, alright dude were surely said, but tray 2 was not another tray 1, it was tray 2. Dexter wondered why he was called in, clearly the RED fluid was Scary Larry’s, Legend Larry Brand registered trademark Wing Sauce.
“These are hot”
wild kingdom - Jim shoots hippo with drugs
The part of the hippo will be played by Justin Francken, a rack of wings serves as the dart. Consume or be consumed, two or more brain cells process the information, Justin utters, “these are hot”. By design, Justin removes meat from bone, ingests, repeats, words are for after eating, Justin knows the game is changing, Justin – hippo, hippo-Justin. The victory lap is well under way for our friend Justin, the stage has cleared, only Justin remains.
Our Hippo
What’s your name?, I ask Justin, he replies, rRrrRRrrr or something like that as his buddies talk our hero through the process of swallowing his last mouthful. Stage is cleared, Justin is trapped, alone, mouthful of wings. Swallowing the wings and walking off the stage would ensure victory, as would spitting the mouthful back into the tray. Larry’s marketing dude extraordinaire Mike Willis (“I’m more like Larry’s bitch, but don’t call me that “), enters stage right with Justin’s tray ready for a deposit. Justin,completes his part in Wild Kingdom as he pulls right while calling for cleanup in aisle 3, chicken wing carcasses exploding towards the floor.
Return to Sender
There are two rules in competitive eating and Justin had clearly violated rule #2.
Out of the Wings
A member of theJustin Francken camp captures the moment for facebook as not just an innocent bystander Scott Seal of Manitowoc unwittingly becomes the king of the wings.

“The Fox” a fixer from ICU brazenly pays off the cleaning lady, “just keep Neenah out of this”.

Who Dat say Swing Wedding?
January 30th, 2010 by SheVegas No comments »The “Who Dat” chant’s origins are somewhat murky. Some historians say it came about in the days of late 19th-century minstrel shows and later showed up in vaudeville routines. In 1937’s “A Day at the Races,” the Marx Brothers perform a number — in blackface — called “Who Dat Man.”
“Who Dat” also is used in a 1937 MGM cartoon — now seldom seen because of its racially offensive nature — called “Swing Wedding,” which featured frog caricatures of black entertainers such as Ethel Waters, the Mills Brothers, Louis Armstrong and Cab Calloway.

When I Think Comedy I Think Hitler
January 21st, 2010 by SheVegas No comments »The wheels are falling off of the Obama band wagon. The economy is getting worse, debt is out of control, and the world is sounding the death drums for Uncle Sam.
Even Adolf Hitler has lost hope in the “Magic Negro“, and well folks, comedy ensues. This Youtube video is spreading faster than Pants On the Ground and for good reason, it’s funny!
This is an instant classic in the lore of political advertising and will be talked about by strategists long after we are gone from Biosphere 1. This video shines a light on the failures of the Obama administration in a way simple reporting will never accomplish. The comedy element transcends party lines, color lines, heck, every demographic boundary imaginable. The video not only calls out failures, it manages to associate all current and future plans of the administration with failure. More importantly, the most hated man in history is not only associated with the Obama camp, but looking down at all that is Obama.
No amount of media control or advertising dollars can undo the damage this video has and will do to the Democrat party. Hats off to the people behind this video, job well done, nothing against Barack, it’s just the politics of dancing.
One more thing, even though the deal between Rush Limbaugh and the Devil is exposed at the end of the vid, It’s my guess the smiling king of radio hit the play button a few times. Rush may be associated with the devil, but he comes off better than Obama.

A quadracopter drone with dual video cameras and wifi, ja ja, ja, Apple is about to sell a phone.
