I went to the Blazers vs. Clippers game on Friday and it was the first time I’ve ever seen the Blazers win (90-86)! Of course, I was actually rooting for the Clippers, so maybe that’s why… We had quite a large group, and since it was $1 hotdog night (which included Blaze, our rather weak mascot, chasing small children dressed as hotdogs around the court) we had to have a hotdog eating contest.

Initially the numbers being thrown around were 5 and 6. I mean, these are decent sized dogs! But then Les upped the ante when he purchased 8 dogs. Well, I wasn’t even planning on competing but ended up eating 6 pretty easy, which tied me with my old eating nemesis, John. I forced down one of Les’ just to beat John, and had a very short lived lead. Steve ended up basically getting drunk on hotdogs by consuming 10! It was both inspiring, and having already eaten 7 myself, kind of gross.
