Ever wanted to compete in some kind of eating contest? Are offlines just not cutting it for you anymore? Competing in an eating contest has been something on my to-do list...until I saw the records for eating contests International Federation for Competitive Eating There are a few people that holds records in several categories.
I was rather impressed by the person who ate 21 matzo balls the size of baseballs in 5 minutes.
Check out Sonya Thomas who is 105 pounds and holds world records in eating vienna sausages, asparagus, baked beans, cheesecake, chicken nuggets, chicken wings, eggs, and many more.
She has made an appearance on What about Jim (or whatever that Jim Belushi show is on ABC).
Notice on the bottom of the page is says "Sonya is single and lives in Alexandria, VA" well damn, what kind of man would marry someone like that?
There is also a husband and wife team too. He is known for cake, chile, corn dogs, spam, Tex-Mex rolls, and watermelon. She is known for posole (whatever that is).
Many of them (including the Lefevres) were in Reno recently for a lobster eating contest. Our wonderful local paper (Sac Bee) decided to run a HUGE article on it.
You are in Texas and don't know posole? Sorry, I forgot. You frequent the Asian eateries....

I am Italian, so I guess that I should only eat Italian?!?!?!?!
That is not what I meant. If you didn't twist my words you would know what I was trying to say that we often times like to eat at restaurants (or prepare food) that is of our ethnic orgin.
I am sorry that I am not a mind reader and that I did not understand what you were trying to say. I apologize for twisting your words. I am a simple high school English teacher and sometimes I read things literally....
Mmmm, pizza

Imagine the crap Donald Lerman took after eating 7 quarter pound sticks of butter, and Oleg Zhornitskiy after 4 bowls of mayo, and the farts Sonya Thomas cut after 65 hard boiled eggs. No, on second thought, don't imagine it. I'm going to puke. I wonder if she was horny after eating over 500 oysters.
