Facts About Gus Vol. 6

Erik loves hot dogs (referred to as wieners from here on out). Well he used to anyways.
His love affair ended on August 21st, 1998. That was the day he participated in the one and only, Nathan's Hot-Dog Eating Championship.
You see Erik started eating wieners at an early age. And he was good. He could sit down and devour a plate of wieners in a couple of minutes.
He kept on eating wieners all through high school. He was a wiener eating fool. Around the time of graduation he decided he would like to compete on a national level. He wanted to show the world how good of a wiener-eater he was.
After his junior year of college, Erik spent the summer high up in the Rocky Mountains training for the big Nathan's Championship. He was determined to win. He did nothing but drink beer, play Goldeneye on the N64 and eat wieners. He ate more wieners that summer than Kobayashi ever could dream of. This picture was taken as we were driving down off of the mountains at the end of summer. It was his last wiener before the competition. Look at how happy he is. The happiness would soon be gone.
The day of the contest arrived and Erik was easily the favorite to win it all. He advanced through the first couple of rounds and made it all the way to the finals. What would happen next, stunned everybody.
Erik buzz-sawed his way through the last round, decimating his competition. He was a flurry of gluttony. It looked like Erik defeated the rest of the competitors.
Then the judges stepped in. Erik was taken offstage and led to the judges quarters. There it was determined that Erik had cheated. I won't say how or where wieners were found but Erik was eliminated and banned from all future contests. He vowed to only eat wieners for personal joy, not competition.
