- Mastiff: -0- Who & What: MLE Professionals Tim "Eater X" Janus and Crazy Legs Conti say goodbye to spring and hello to summer as they face-off in the first-ever Major League Eating: The Game WiiWare Watermelon Showdown(1). These two gurgitory gladiators will vie for a new Watermelon eating world record in celebration of the launch of Major League Eating: The Game for WiiWare(TM). Tim "Eater X" Janus, the newly crowned Sushi eating champion of the world, a man who hides his inner torment behind a mask, will compete against Crazy Legs Conti. Conti, often described as the "Evil Knievel of the Alimentary Canal," is known for eating his way out of a 96-cubic foot sarcophagus of popcorn at the debut of his own movie, Zen and The Art of Competitive Eating. This bare knuckled, drag out, in-your-face (literally) six minute exercise in extreme watermelon consumption is near certain to yield a new world record. It will also be the first watermelon eating contest to feature both real and virtual watermelons. Come join us, get some hands-on time with one of the first games coming to Nintendo's exciting new WiiWare channel - Major League Eating: The Game - and watch firsthand as Major League Eating history is made. When: Tuesday, May 20 From 12-3 PM Where: Nintendo World Store 10 Rockefeller Center New York, NY 10020 (1) This is a B.Y.O.T event (Bring your own towelette event).
