 FuckinA, Joey Chestnut lied. He shall henceforth perforce be renamed Cheatin' Chestnut. Nobody gets away with pulling a stunt like this on the ever vigilantMurican People. Unless they do. It's the electronic eye that always does 'em in, the hotdog eating contest cheaters, unless it doesn't.  Replay showed Joey had actualmente et not 74 dogs in ten minutes as claimed but a mere piffling 64. Caligula turned green in the Netherworld. That tiny fragment of leftover dog sitting there on the edge of the grill practically begging to be put out of its agony is laughing at you and pointing and howling and whooping and saying, Ha, Joey Chestnut Lied And You Didn't Notice And Joey Is A Murican Hero And You're Not, Joey lied and said he put away 74 of my brothers and sisters in 10 minutes and you're sitting there on your Pussy Hat Cushion believing that weak stuff and not worrying with only your bulging inoperable Old Person abdominal mass to keep you company you miserable wretch and You're not even watching anyway, you don't even get TV, and Joey doesn't give a shit, he's got better things to do, like immediately throw up 46 times but always Murican-Heroically and It's Totally Worth It because his stomach lining is fireproof and was on sale at Walmart because this here's a Straight-up Democratic country, unless it's not. He made $69.75 for doing it, even if when the Deception is fully sussed and figured in it only comes to $57.40 in bitcoin + Amazon Prime Drone Credit not that he did it for the money mind, oh no, he did it for you, Murica! And for Me Too! Especially the lying part! I love it that we were too dumb to notice That's what makes Murica great! Hail Joey! Ka-Boom! Hail Me Too! Fireworks are exploding and though the night is dark and I can't see a thing, I know you're out there! Hail assisted living but where are the assistants! Hail dereliction! Boom! Hail embarrassment and shame! Boom!  Ka-Boom! Hail Murican Patriotic Serial Vomitus!  Boom! Boom! Boom! Stars are Falling on Elon! All Nevada and All Stars have Fallen before Elon! Not to mention All stripes!  Booom!  Boom!  Hey! There's Jeff! Hey Jeff! Amazon Prime for Wokest Capitalist Destroyer of Murican Kommunities! Yay! Boom! Hey! Zuck! Joey, stop throwing up for a minute, look there's Zuck! Right over there by the Explosions! Yes! O say can you see! There's Zuck! Look! So Cute and precious aww! Zuck and 'Scilla are Just Chillin' on the Holiday, sharing Your Private User Data with all The Biggest Tech Firms on Earth while Taking the Hamentaschen Out of The Oven, making All the Money on Earth that Jeff hasn't yet already made, beating out Elon for first dibs on Jupiter, ceding only Uranus and a couple relatively inconsequential Asteroids to Th'Emp's Space Force awhile also Improving the Internal Culture so that everybody in the Company Gets Great Couches, Feels Free, Easy and Rich, and becomes for the lifetime of the company if not actually until next Tuesday smoov-groove-ready every minute until death, which will never happen because Elon's working on that right now, Instant Self Driving Unnoticeable Space Death, while Jeff is already ready to forever destroy shitloads more whole murican communities and small businesses and Moms and Pops and Uncle Jims in order to enable you to have get seamlessly acquire all the newest junk you think you need because Jeff told you you do, and would Jeff lie??  Creating commodity addictions is the American Way!  Yay! O Say Can You See!  Ka-Boom! Honk! Roar! Eat five more Joey!  Eat three more Miki! Ka-Boom! Git some! Scarf 'em right up Kids! It's all Good! What the hell's happening? Doesn't the time just fly by when you're totally disgusted? Boom! Ka-Boom! What the hell just happened? Did Jeff really just destroy Seattle, did Elon then destroy Nevada to get even, did Jeff shoot back by destroying Sacramento, did 'Scilla say have some more Hamentaschen, did Zuck just say Gotta Go, Gotta Murder, Gotta Make a Killing, Outa the Way Emp! Comin' through! Only Kidding! Ha ha hmmmwoooahhh!!

La mujer gorda venía delante
arrancando las raíces y mojando el pergamino de los tambores
la mujer gorda
que vuelve del revés los pulpos agonizantes.
La mujer gorda, enemiga de la luna,
corría por las calles y los pisos deshabitados
y dejaba por los rincones pequeñas calaveras de paloma
y levantaba la furia de los banquetes de los siglos últimos
y llamaba al demonio del pan por las colinas del cielo barrido
y filtraba un ansia de luz en las circulaciones subterráneas.
Son los cementerios, lo sé, son los cementerios
y el dolor de las cocinas enterradas bajo la arena,
son los muertos, los faisanes y las manzanas de otra hora
los que nos empujan en la garganta.

Llegaban los rumores de la selva del vómito
con las mujeres vacías, con niños de cera caliente,
con árboles fermentados y camareros incansables
que sirven platos de sal bajo las arpas de la saliva.
Sin remedio, hijo mío, ¡vomita! No hay remedio.
No es el vómito de los húsares sobre los pechos de la prostituta,
ni el vómito del gato que se tragó una rana por descuido.
Son los muertos que arañan con sus manos de tierra
las puertas de pedernal donde se pudren nublos y postres.

La mujer gorda venía delante
con las gentes de los barcos, de las tabernas y de los jardines.
El vómito agitaba delicadamente sus tambores
entre algunas niñas de sangre
que pedían protección a la luna.
¡Ay de mí! ¡Ay de mí! ¡Ay de mi!
Esta mirada mía fue mía, pero ya no es mía,
esta mirada que tiembla desnuda por el alcohol
y despide barcos increíbles
por las anémonas de los muelles.
Me defiendo con esta mirada
que mana de las ondas por donde el alba no se atreve,
yo, poeta sin brazos, perdido
entre la multitud que vomita,
sin caballo efusivo que corte
los espesos musgos de mis sienes.
 
Pero la mujer gorda seguía delante
y la gente buscaba las farmacias
donde el amargo trópico se fija.
Sólo cuando izaron la bandera y llegaron los primeros canes
la ciudad entera se agolpó en las barandillas del embarcadero.

Federico García Lorca: Landscape of A Vomiting Multitude (Dusk at Coney Island)

The fat lady came out first,
tearing out roots and moistening drumskins.
The fat lady
who turns dying octopuses inside out.
The fat lady, the moon's antagonist,
was running through the streets and deserted buildings
and leaving tiny skulls of pigeons in the corners
and stirring up the furies of the last centuries' feasts
and summoning the demon of bread through the sky's clean-swept hills
and filtering a longing for light into subterranean tunnels.
The graveyards, yes the graveyards
and the sorrow of the kitchens buried in sand,
the dead, pheasants and apples of another era,
pushing it into our throat.

There were murmurings from the jungle of vomit
with the empty women, with hot wax children,
with fermented trees and tireless waiters
who serve platters of salt beneath harps of saliva.
There's no other way, my son, vomit! There's no other way.
It's not the vomit of hussars on the breasts of their whores,
nor the vomit of cats that inadvertently swallowed frogs,
but the dead who scratch with clay hands
on flint gates where clouds and desserts decay.

The fat lady came first
with the crowds from the ships, taverns, and parks.
Vomit was delicately shaking its drums
among a few little girls of blood
who were begging the moon for protection.
Who could imagine my sadness?
The look on my face was mine, but now isn't me,
the naked look on my face, trembling for alcohol
and launching incredible ships
through the anemones of the piers.
I protect myself with this look
that flows from waves where no dawn would go,
I, poet without arms, lost
in the vomiting multitude,
with no effusive horse to shear
the thick moss from my temples.

The fat lady went first
and the crowds kept looking for pharmacies
where the bitter tropics could be found.
Only when a flag went up and the first dogs arrived
did the entire city rush to the railings of the boardwalk.
