How much do I love that there is an International Federation of Competitive Eating?
She must have a wooden leg.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

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.

t whine, again So, if any of you have "you'll finish this, and on time, and words will find ways to tie together to form a sentence that actually has meaning" vibes to spare, could you please direct them over the ocean? Thanks.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Sending vibes, Nilly, but it's 2:30am where you are. Perhaps writing will be easier after a night's sleep? What time is it due?
