The dream I had this morning is a combination of three things I've encountered recently:
The first is "Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest" which I caught on ESPN a couple of weeks ago. The contest they aired was actually the 2006 competition where six-time "pro-eating" champion Takeru Kobayashi handily deafeated his rival Joey Chestnut. According to Wikipedia, Kobayashi recently broke his jaw during training. He was able to compete in 2007 but he was eventually beaten by Chestnut.
The second is this "funny face" video that my nephew and I found on YouTube. It features a guy who stretches his face in extreme ways. In the video, he first stretched his tongue so that it would touch his left eye. Then he strecthed his lower lip to cover his nose. Then he stretched his tongue to touch his right eye.
The third is about the movie "300" which I saw for the first time yesterday. The movie featured this creature called the "Über Immortal", a freakish giant held in chains.
Put these all together and the result is...well, kinda weird. In fact, I won't I won't say much about what this dream is really about except to say that it's the weirdest eating contest I've ever seen.
