Although Porky Pig is on vacation this week, the show must go on, with or without him. It is time for the "Week in Review!" Florida. It's a great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. In an unusual twist of events, the hurricane season is already getting in full swing. Never mind what the calendar says about it being the beginning of July, this hurricane chose to come around a few months early. I really admire all the people that live close to the Atlantic Ocean only because it's a sure thing that every year a hurricane is guaranteed to destroy everything they own maybe two or three times over a few months, and they keep coming back to the same spot to rebuild. Even though houses, cars and personal belongings blow away in the wind and rain, you gotta admit, that beautiful Florida sunset is worth every penny!

...From "the sky is falling" to "up comes lunch." Nathan's Famous Red Hots in New York held it's annual hot dog eating contest on the 4th of July. Nothing like stuffing your face to the point where you turn green to get the prize for a year: A championship belt. This was a great idea years ago, but somewhere along the way this contest fell off the track. Nothing says "America" like hot dogs, baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet, right? Then why is it that 300 lb plus guys like the one pictured above have been losing every year lately? As if losing wasn't bad enough, for the past several years a little 150 lb guy from Japan (Who can't speak a word of English) has kept a tight grip on the title! Normally, I wouldn't write about this nonsense. Matter of fact, I caught this last year on The Food Network and I thought I was going to say, "adios" to hot dogs when it was over. Where did this event turn up this year? ESPN! What's going on there? There's so many sports channels out there, but obviously not enough sports to put on TV. When I saw a chess championship a few years ago on ESPN I was a bit confused. When I saw the National Spelling Bee on there two years ago I was more confused. Blackjack and Texas Hold 'Em really made me scratch my head earlier this year, and now this. What's next, two 80 year old men playing checkers at the park or two little girls playing hopscotch? These things aren't sports...THAT'S the way I see things for this week! -------- Squealing Pig WORLDWIDE!: Spinning in the sky, and spinning in the tummy...
