I love food too much to be a competitive eater, but this woman who can eat 11 cheesecakes in 9 minutes is so cute! I can't believe she's 37 years old though.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's a wormhole in her stomach that leads to an alternate dimension. It's the only explanation.

My friend Sugarfreak says that it's always the small ones that can put it down.
We saw a candy bar called a New Jamaican, ita. rum and raisins in chocolate. Almost bought it for you but we only had $1.10 left in cash.

That's a popular sort of chocolate bar in Jamaica. Mmm.

How much do I love that there is an International Federation of Competitive Eating?
She must have a wooden leg.

SERIOUSLY on the wooden leg thing. 5.75 lbs of aspargus. Dude. That's like 5.65 lbs too many.

The problem I see is not with the amount, but rather with the speed of eating. Is there were a "slow to eat" contest?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
From Kat's link:
There is an century-old prophesy within the competitive eating community, dismissed by most, that foretells the rise of the One Eater, a woman who will electrify America.s gurgitators and lead them to international victory once again. Like Joan of Arc before her, this eater will be slender of stature, but mighty in strength.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
There's actually some reason that the best competitive eaters tend to be little skinny people--something about stomach elasticity. I've gotta assume they puke it all up again afterwards, though.

I KNOW! Seriously, the whole thing cracks me up.
Lori and I bought a lot of merino wool stuff from this company: Icebreaker. I find the ad they use totally appealling. Not the least of which cause sexy, but also the scar on the guy. Rowr.
