I've got ESPN in the background - on their Hi Def channel... Competitive Eating - the 2005 Alka Seltzer Open. They just interviewed the lady who won the spaghetti eating contest and is moving on to the next round. Yes, this is a serious event - apparently it's in Vegas. I think it's time to change the channel!
My remote is on the other side of the room, so it's still on. The commentary is hysterical - "he's a tall guy, big hands, large mouth - this guy has the makings of a champion" - cheese fry eating round is on now... I can't believe I'm actually paying attention. Still to come... the American Record Holder in something... little skinny asian girl.
Whenever I see those things it always reminds me of "Stand by Me" (I think) when the one guy started a "Barf-a-Rama" at a pie eating contest. Do those events have an audience? Maybe we can scrape a few bucks together to fly Nintendo to one of those events and have him start talking and showing photos right at the end
The current world champion of the Hot Dog eating contest is a Japanese. It's scary how much she eats.
Yah I've seen that one man, and it's weird coz his body is just half the body of that guy who settled next to him.
