Hot Dog Photos Biography

Hot Dog was born in the belly of the Popcorn Volcano. While on a nearby mission, a team of Skylanders had come across the stray fire pup when the volcano erupted and Hot Dog came rocketing straight into their camp, accidentally setting Gill Grunt's tent on fire. Using his nose of danger, he helped the Skylanders complete their mission - even pouncing on a lava golem like a blazing comet when it threatened his new friends. After displaying such loyalty and bravery, Hot Dog was brought back to Eon's Citadel where he became a Skylander - and then he proceeded to bury Eon's staff.
Abilities
Hot Dog has the ability to lob fireballs and can turn himself into a comet to hurl himself at enemies. He can also summon a wall of fire.
Hot Dog's attacks are ranged, but he has the unusual ability to use combos with his ranged primary attack. His short-ranged area-of-effect attack, Comet Slam, has a few upgrades, but the real upgrade highlights on this Skylander are Firebark and Wall of Fire. Firebark is a fantastic ranged attacks that can rapidly take down enemies from a good distance. Wall of Fire is a powerful ranged attack that burns any foe foolish enough to stand in Hot Dog's way.
Founded in late 2005 with no intention to record an album, La Coka Nostra was more a loose collective of artists connected through Danny Boy than a group. Having taken time off from rap after the break-up of House of Pain, Danny Boy took to working in video production and fashion as well as mentoring other artists. He met Slaine in Boston and, impressed with his writing, brought him to L.A. to record some tracks. Eventually it turned into more of a group effort including the former members of House of Pain and Ill Bill, as well as associates from Psycho Realm, Special Teamz and others.[1] It was not until early 2006 that an actual line up solidified. Plans to release an album were first voiced later the same year.[2]
In late 2008, the group signed to Suburban Noize Records and released the long delayed debut album A Brand You Can Trust on July 14, 2009. The album took so long to complete due to Danny Boy's refusal to have the members collaborate via e-mail; instead, he would gather everyone at the studio.[1] This took time due to the recording of Ill Bill and Everlast's solo albums as well as various tours and other commitments. A Brand You Can Trust features fifteen tracks and guest appearances from Snoop Dogg, Bun B, Sick Jacken, B-Real, Sen Dog, Immortal Technique, Big Left and Q-Unique. Though similar stylistically to the group's prior online releases, it features songs grounded more in reality. Subjects touched upon include politics, death, drug addiction, raising a child and terrorism.[2]
On March 2, 2012, it was announced that Everlast would be leaving La Coka Nostra due to his daughter's medical issues.Can you hear the thunderous roar of the insatiable crowd? Can you feel the inflated, hamster cheeks of those select frankfurter gladiators who choose to pummel endless trays of hot dogs into their mouths as if their lives depended on it?

For the past ten years on the Fourth of July, pro eater Sonya Thomas has made the meat-strewn trek out to Coney Island from her home in Alexandria, Virginia, to compete in the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. The 98-lb. Korean-born Thomas, who’s also known as “The Black Widow” for out-eating men four to five times her size, made history there last year when she was crowned the winner of the first ever women’s division, swallowing 40 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Befitting to the competition, she was bequeathed a Pepto Bismol pink belt and a prize of $10,000.

But dogs and watered-down buns aren’t the only foods that keep this petite champ’s digestive juices flowing. Ranked fifth in the U.S. and sixth overall in the International Federation of Competitive Eating (yes, we didn’t make that up), Thomas boasts 29 world titles and has competed in over 180 food competitions, which include hard-boiled eggs, mince pies, tater tots, pizza, crabcakes, asparagus, and even beat top eater Takeru Kobayashi in a fruitcake eating contest. But her undefeated specialties lie in gorging on oysters and chicken wings.

We had an opportunity to chat with “The Leader of the Four Horsemen of the Esophagus” and asked her all kinds of gastronomical questions. Warning: Her answers may give you heartburn...


Thomas is crowned champion of the first ever Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest for Women. July 4, 2011.

What made you want to be a pro eating competitor?
I’m very, very competitive. Anything I try, I have to be the best. I like competing…and I love to eat food. People laugh and think it’s all crazy stuff, but I don’t look at it that way; I’m just competing.

Which competition are you determined to win that you've never won before?
Nathan’s Hot Dog Competition. The women’s [competition] I can win easy, but I want to beat the men.

What's your training regimen like?
I’ve been doing the hot dog competition for a long time—10 years straight. A couple years ago, I trained for speed for like, five minutes. I practiced swallowing. But I don’t practice anymore. I like hot dogs but not eating [them] fast.


Thomas beats out Eric 'Badlands' Booker (L) in the Wild Turkey World Championship. Nov. 2011.

When you're training, do you have any particular music or songs that you listen to?
No music, but I talk to myself because the speed eating is mental. When I get nervous, even though I try to swallow, I can’t swallow! So, I talk to myself…after 30 hot dogs, you can feel yourself getting full…you can feel [the hot dogs] going up to your chest area. I start feeling sick!

Is there a food that you really want to see enter the pro-eating competition arena?
I really want to do a sushi-eating competition, and I think I’m pretty good at noodles, too—spaghetti and ramen—but I’ve never done it.

Who is your biggest competitor?
Joey Chestnut with the hot dogs—I can’t even come close. He can eat over 60 hot dogs. Me, a little over 40. This year I’m trying to eat 45; it’s a good number because this year I’m turning 45 years old. I really want to do that! That’s my goal, and I’m gonna try!

Watch Thomas and Joey Chestnut go at it in a buffalo chicken wing eating contest:



What is your favorite pro-eating competition?
Oysters. I hold the oyster record, 46 dozen oysters in 10 minutes in 2005. Nobody’s broken my record. Three weeks ago, I went to New Orleans, and I had 47 dozen oysters in 8 minutes. I set another record. It was non-stop; I just kept eating!

What's the worst food competition (taste-wise) you've competed in?
I had never eaten it before, but two years ago they had some Rocky Mountain Oysters [contest]…have you ever heard of it? I thought it was some kind of oyster, and I registered for the competition, but they say it was bull testicles! I said, ‘Oh my gah!’ and I cancelled it—I didn’t want to be part of that competition!

What are your proudest accomplishments in the field?
I set the women’s record for the hot dog competition for last year. I’m happy about that. I won a chicken wing competition called Wing Bowl, and I won a car and beat 28 men. I beat Joey Chestnut two times in the chicken wing eating competition; I showed them I’m a chicken wing champion eater—not only with women but with men. And I’m also happy with my oyster record. Nobody has beaten me!

Can Thomas defend her Pepto Bismol winning title on July 4th this year? Those with sturdy stomachs must tune in to see...
