Um.... why? (Hint: the answer "because it's there" gets you hobbit-slapped)

Because it’s a perfect example of the foolishness of mankind in general and the French in particular.

Gotta' love this guy.

Watch How Joey Chestnut Prepares For A Hot Dog Eating Contest

If you've ever seen one of those contests, this makes some sense.

You know... having spent a large portion of my early life standing in food lines, I find eating contests rather revolting and puzzling. I don't even think they are funny.

 

[AngryHobbit]

But that is the logical answer to most stupid (male) endeavors

In fairness, there are women doing some crazy stuff too... but yes, these events appear to be largely male-dominated. I keep thinking - it's so frustrating, what with women going through all that trouble to give birth to men, who then proceed to invent new and fascinating ways to kill themselves.

I believe Christopher Walken started out as a dancer and trained at the Washington Dance Studio

Oh, sure, go all Debbie Downer on me.

Walken considers himself a hoofer first and foremost. Dancing is his passion, film is his occupation.

And then......he became scary and weird

And then......he became scary and weird

He doesn't actually pick his roles, his wife does. She's a casting agent. She just hands him a script and tells him what part he'll be playing. He always said in print media that being scary and being funny are different sides of the same thing.

I'm a huge Walken fan.

it makes up for the grief. We get to outlive them

Love me some Morgan Freeman. I wish he really was God... Or at the very least President.

Sorry... It's one of those things I just don't dig.

Are you going to tell us now you used to eat at the same diner with them... or live down the street... or stumbled into them and became friends?

You know... I am reminded of a passage from one of my favorite childhood books. The events take place in the late 19th - early 20th century. This little girl goes to the zoo, where she gets to see a performance by a female lion tamer. The little girl is absolutely fascinated by the tamer and finds her dazzling. Of course, she immediately decides ordinary professions are not for her and decides to become a lion tamer too. She tells her parents and her tutor who happens to be present. The girl's father asks, "Why do you want to be a tamer?"
"Because she is so brave - she is a hero!"
"Brave? Yes. Hero? No, she is not a hero."
"How can you say she's not a hero? Would you walk into a cage with tigers and lions?"
"No. I didn't say she wasn't courageous. But what does she use her courage for? Had she used it to save a someone - a child, or even a cow - then she would have been a hero. As it is, she is throwing her courage away and risking her life to amuse the ignorant crowds. No, she is not a hero."

Because, once you get to the top with your bicycle, how else are you getting down? Sheesh... I didn't think it was all that hard to understand.
