BD: (Voice cracking with excitement) AND THEN THERE WERE TWO! FROM THE GARDEN STATE, A MAN WHOSE STOMACH KNOWS NO FEAR, ED "BLAQMOON" GENOVESE! VERSUS THE MILE HIGH MAULER, THE DENVER NUGGET HIMSELF, JEDIHERO! THIS IS IT, FOLKS! FOR THE NUMBER ONE PICK! FOR CLYDE "THE GLIDE" DREXLER! FOR ALL THE ANTACID TABLETS IN THE WORLD!

(Ed and Jedihero stare each other down. They both look utterly wrecked, pale, sweaty, but a fire of competition burns in their eyes. Mountains of discarded wrappers surround them.)

BD: Gentlemen! You are the pinnacle of processed pork consumption! The titans of the table! One final question before you potentially embark on your final hot dog journey of the day! Ed, if you win this, what’s the first thing you’re gonna tell your cousin Tony at the deli?

Ed: (Voice raspy, but a smirk plays on his lips) I’m gonna tell him… his meatballs ain’t got NOTHIN’ on my hot dog game! And then I’m gonna tell him to prepare a bed for me… in the walk-in freezer… for about a week.

BD: And Jedihero! If you bring home the number one pick for Denver, what’s more satisfying: conquering this mountain of meat, or knowing you out-ate a guy named "The Gullet"?

Jedi: (Manages a weak grin) Both, BD. Both would be… a Rocky Mountain High. But right now… just finishing… would be a miracle. This bear… is about full.

Nattie: (Stepping forward, looking at the remaining dogs on their plates and his official count) ALRIGHT, IT'S DOWN TO THE WIRE! IT LOOKS LIKE… YES! THEY ARE DEAD EVEN! IT ALL COMES DOWN TO WHO CAN FINISH THEIR CURRENT DOG FIRST! ONE DOG EACH! WINNER TAKE ALL!

Image

BD: YOU HEARD THE MAN! ONE DOG TO RULE THEM ALL! THE NEXT SWALLOW COULD CHANGE NBA HISTORY! CONTESTANTS… GRAB YOUR WEINERS!

(With trembling, greasy hands, Ed and Jedihero each pick up their final, fateful hot dog. The crowd is eerily silent.)

BD: THIS IS FOR THE TOP SPOT! FOR DENVER! FOR NEW JERSEY! ON MY COUNT! ONE…!

(Ed closes his eyes, a look of grim determination. Jedihero takes a deep, shaky breath.)

BD: TWO…!

(Mayor McSausage is clutching his chest, forgetting his folksy sayings for a moment of pure tension.)

BD: THREE…! EAT! THAT! DOG!

(Both men shove the hot dogs into their mouths with a primal intensity. Cheeks bulge. Eyes water. Jedihero, with a mighty, almost superhuman effort, chews twice and with a massive, convulsive gulp, it’s GONE! He slams his fists on the table, a sound muffled by the wrappers, a strangled cry of triumph escaping his lips before he doubles over, groaning.)

(Ed "Blaqmoon" Genovese, meanwhile, gets his dog halfway down. He chews, once, twice… then his eyes bulge. A look of utter betrayal crosses his face as his stomach visibly revolts. He stumbles back, spitting the remainder of the hot dog onto his plate, clutching his midsection and shaking his head violently.)

Image

Ed: (Gasping, looking horrified) NO! NO! IT’S COMING BACK! IT WANTS REVENGE! HE… HE GOT IT! THE MOUNTAIN MAN… HE GOT IT! I’M… I’M DONE! FUHGEDDABOUDIT! MY ANCESTORS ARE WEEPING!

Image

BD: (Screaming into the microphone) HE’S DONE IT! JEDIHERO HAS DONE IT! HE CONQUERED THE FINAL FRANKFURTER! "DENVER NUGGET" JEDIHERO HAS WON THE 1983 GLIZZY GOBBLE GAUNTLET! THE DENVER NUGGETS WILL RECEIVE THE NUMBER ONE PICK AND THE RIGHT TO DRAFT CLYDE DREXLER!

(Confetti cannons erupt, showering the stage in gold and blue paper. The theme from "Rocky" blares triumphantly. Medics rush to Jedihero, who looks like he might pass out, but a pained grin is plastered on his face.)

Image

Jedi: (Muttering into the table, barely audible) Mile High… told ya… never… underestimate… a man… who wrestles… relish-free… bears… Now… where’s that… bucket… and a lifetime… supply… of… yogurt?

Image

BD: An absolutely STUNNING victory! Jedihero, you are a champion! You are a legend! You are probably going to need your stomach pumped! And Ed "Blaqmoon" Genovese, a warrior to the very end! The New Jersey Nets fought with the heart of a lion and the stomach of a god, and they will receive the NUMBER TWO PICK!

(Ed manages a weak wave from where he’s now sitting on the floor, looking pale but resigned.)

BD: Your winner of the 1983 Draft Lotto The Denver Nuggets

11. Utah Jazz (Xist "The Jaws" Jacobsen - DNF Wholesome Surrender)
BD: Judge Nattie, Mayor McSausage, any final thoughts on this display of… well, whatever this was?

Nattie: (Shakes his head, a rare smile almost cracking his face) I’ve seen a lotta disgusting things in my day. This was up there. But I gotta admit… that Denver kid? He’s got guts. Literally. Lots of 'em now. And they’re full of cheap meat. Respect.

Mayor McSausage: (Beaming) Well, BD, as we say back in Porkrind Purlieu when the prize pig eats all the slop AND the blue ribbon, "That boy ain't just hungry, he's history!" A truly inspiring afternoon of American fortitude and questionable dietary choices! My hat's off to 'em! And I might just skip dinner tonight! Heh heh!

BD: There you have it, folks! The most important meal of the year has been served! The Denver Nuggets are on top of the wiener-world! For Judge "Hot Dog" Nattie and Mayor McSausage, I’m Big Daddy, saying goodnight, good luck, and may your next hot dog be your best hot dog… or at least, not your last! DRIVE SAFE, AND DON'T EAT BEFORE SWIMMING!
