It’s the big hot dog eating contest today at Coney Island.

Okay, so gas prices suck and so does the economy, but man, it’s summer time and it’s the 4th of July holiday. Quick, what food do you think of for July 4th and summer and grilling and outdoor eating? Hot dogs! So it’s only appropriate that the annual hot dog eating contest takes place on this day at Coney Island!

Yes, we have a winner: Joey Chestnut, after downing 64 hot dogs in 10 minutes… well, actually, it was 59 hot dogs in 10 minutes but so did runner up Takeru Kobayashi. So, the guys had to have a tie-breaker, an “eat off” of another five franks. That’s when Joey Chestnut took home the gold!

Richard Shea, one of the founders of the International Federation of Competitive Eating, said it was the first time in his memory the contest went into overtime.

Wanna see a hilariously funny video clip of a hot dog eating contest from the uber-popular TV show Grey’s Anatomy? Here ya go…

Yeah, it ain’t the hot dog eating contest at Coney Island, but it sure is a funny video clip!

To celebrate the 4th of July a fireworks video clip of the largest fireworks display on record.

Happy Birthday America! Here in the good ol’ You Ess of Aay (USA!), it’s a national holiday - Independence Day - celebrated on July 4 every year to mark the country’s birthday. In the last two posts (yesterday and the day before), I gave you some awesome fireworks video clips to help get in the spirit of this fun summer holiday, and today I give you a “grand finale” video clip showing the world’s largest fireworks display on record. Okay, so it was done in Portugal back in December 2006, but who cares! Fireworks are almost a national symbol of the July 4th holiday in the U.S. so even this fireworks display will have a special meaning to every American on this day.

Now there’s a 4th of July fireworks video clip to beat the band, eh?

Nothing says summer in the USA like hot dogs and fireworks so check out this fireworks video clip.

I thought I’d get started celebrating the 4th of July - Independence Day here in the US - a little early with this fireworks video clip of a grand finale (or part of the grand finale anyway). I have always looked forward to this first week of July as the days are hot, the nights are warm, and there’s always excitement brewing among family and friends as they look forward to July 4th celebrations involving get-togethers, picnics, cookouts, parades, concerts, and of course, a fireworks display or two.

So here you go - get into the spirit of the July 4th holiday and summer fun two days early by watching this video clip of a grand finale, shot somewhere in the good ol’ USA.

Come to think of it, I might post a cool fireworks video clip tomorrow and the next day (July 4) too!
