Lockjaw and Brain Freeze
| Big news out of the competitive eating world. With the upcoming July 4th Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest things just got interesting. Earlier this year, in a qualifier, Joey "Jaws" Chestnut broke Kobayashi's record, setting up a big showdown for this years finals. But this afternoon, the news broke that Kobayashi is having chewing trouble. Apparently he is suffering from "arthritic jaw" and may not be able to defend his title. While this opens the door for several competitors to win back the title, I think they all would agree that winning it without actually beating Kobayashi sort of cheapens the win. I do hope this injury is not the competitive eating equivalent to a race horse breaking his leg. Cause as you know, they shot Barbaro. (Ok, so they didn't REALLY shoot him, but in the old days they would have.) No matter where your eating loyalties may be, I think we all hope Kobayashi gets well soon. But, if they have to wire his jaws shut to recover, I wonder if he can set the world record for soup? Now if you somehow want to show your sympathy for Kobayashi and his aching jaw, might I suggest a brain freeze? How about a FREE brain freeze? If you haven't been active on the Krystal.com Krystal Lovers Lounge, or on Krystal Lover's Myspace Page then you're missing out on some deals. I have already enjoyed a FREE scrambler for breakfast. I am currently jamming to some FREE tunes I downloaded, again thanks to Krystal. (It happens to be Under The Influence Of Giants.) This week, in addition to some energy saving tips, they also are giving away coupons for a FREE Milkquake! That ultra tasty milkshake that uses REAL ice cream, REAL milk, and a heavy dose of whipped cream on top if you want. I have tried all three flavors (vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry) and they're all quite good. I must agree with Tiffany, though, Strawberry rules. So this 4th of July, to heck with all that grillin'. It's hot outside. Hit Krystal and grab some little steamers (and let them man the grill for ya) and don't forget to pick up the free MilkQuake. Or I have another option. Save your coupon and bring it to my going away party on July the 5th (5:30 pm). Get yourself some Krystals or Chiks and a MilkQuake. I'll bring the Doritos to put on your Krystal, so you can see I am right: it is awesome. As an added bonus, it appears my friend Jen, who went on the cruise with me last September, will also be joining me from Florida for the going away party. So come on up, enjoy some food, participate in "Krystal Thursday" and Jennifer can confirm I really did eat a 4 day old, unrefrigerated Krystal while out at sea. I also have a friend who has never had a Krystal who may also make an appearance. Its sad I have to MOVE to get them to Krystal, but better late than never! I may also bring some of my Krystal Kollection, if it hasn't all been packed for the move by then. I'd offer to bring some Loganberry, but of course I am hoarding all of it I can get! Again, if you're going to come to the party, please call or email me so I can let Bernida know how many are coming. If we get enough, I bet there will be cake! And I can't think of anything better to go with a REAL ice cream MilkQuake and CAKE!  |
