35! Sounds like a wild hog not a black widow.
Posted by: SlickRick | August 08, 2005 at 10:19 AM
35 brat for her and 65 hard-boiiled eggs for someone else.
Do not, I repeat, do NOT stand downwind of these people!
Posted by: Trystan Shout | August 08, 2005 at 10:25 AM
Yeah, she's a dream come true ... if you don't mind the whole chewing issue.
Posted by: Jillywilly | August 08, 2005 at 10:25 AM
If this was the first brat contest, how can the previous record be 19-1/2?
Posted by: pogo | August 08, 2005 at 10:25 AM
"I got sick watching her."
These are words that make any guy drool over a potential female date. Oh, and she has a terrific personality.
Posted by: MOTW | August 08, 2005 at 10:26 AM
She has a web page here.
Posted by: spinner8 | August 08, 2005 at 10:32 AM
i submitted this as well, but you probably didnt hear me.

impressive gag reflex control, i'm sure.
Posted by: crossgirl | August 08, 2005 at 10:40 AM
She's called "The Black Widow", maybe she ate her husband after sex...
Posted by: tonymus | August 08, 2005 at 10:40 AM
Her record of 11 pounds of cheesecake in 9 minutes is much more impressive to me.
Posted by: Leetie | August 08, 2005 at 10:45 AM
Dammit. My first attempt at one of those fancy kewl links, failed.
*hangs head in shame*
Anyway, seriously, cut and paste, and behold: http://www.ifoce.com/eaters.php?action=detail&sn=20
Posted by: Targetgirl | August 08, 2005 at 10:47 AM
This woman clearly has psychological issues.
Twenty-two grilled cheese sandwhiches & no mention of tomato soup???
I had a friend in college who would eat anything (food related) in one bite, providing you paid him a dollar first.
He's a Municipal Court Judge now...
Posted by: lurker | August 08, 2005 at 10:52 AM
She was probably fueling up for the competitive flatulence contest being held later on.

Mike! I thought you had died!

I think i am in love.

You know ... it kills me that a woman who can shove 65 hard-boiled eggs and 167 chicken wings down her throat still weighs a paltry 99 pounds (soaking wet).
She's a metabolism hog, is what she is. She needs to start sharin' is all I'm sayin'.
*huff*
Posted by: punky brewster | August 08, 2005 at 11:11 AM
I'm with punky here - disgusting - I would NOT want to be friends with this woman and I certainly wouldn't go out to lunch with her!
Posted by: Eleanor | August 08, 2005 at 11:24 AM
punky, exactly. And two eating competitions two days in a row? Intermittend ingestion of copious amounts of food is one thing, but continuously? There is no justice.
Posted by: KOW | August 08, 2005 at 11:32 AM
queensbee: trust me, i checked! i ALWAYS check. i don't always find, but i always check.
mike sent it in first.
Posted by: judi | August 08, 2005 at 11:33 AM
Sorry, judi, it isn't that we don't love you. We're just kids who like to pout sometimes when we don't get credit.
(queensbee, it happens to a lot of us. Have some chocolate... but not competitive.)
Posted by: MOTW | August 08, 2005 at 11:56 AM
Leetie, didn't you eat 11 pounds of ribs over the weekend?
Targetgirl's link.
Hey, lighten up on her, Punky & ELeanor. I've seen her eat at the Coney Island hot dog eating contest. She's amazing. Only that Japanese guy (who is clearly not human) can beat her. And he only weighs 120 or so and ate 50 hot dogs...and buns.
The hardboiled egg thing should remind somebody (I can't be the only one that old) of Cool Hand Luke. "What we've got here is a failure to communicate."
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | August 08, 2005 at 11:57 AM
This lady is the poster child for diet/excercise balance. She works out 2 hours a day, five days a week. Anyone excercising like that could eat megatons in 10 minutes and stay thin. Wish I could do that, then I wouldn't feel so bad about eating brownies, chocolate chip cookies, 11 lbs of cheesecake...
I'd like to know how she doesn't choke on 162 chicken wings in 10 minutes.
Posted by: Dylan | August 08, 2005 at 12:17 PM
Mike Zlotnik, man, where have you been?! We've missed you! Great to have you back.
Also, I live near the actually very nice state of Wis-gaan-zun, where cheese and brats rule. I like cheese, but brats? Yecch, they look and taste like what they probably are, grey intestine-encased fat. (For what it's worth, everyone I know who don't share my revulsion says Johnsonville brats and sausages are the best.)
Anyway, the previously posted rude food looks no worse to me than brats.
Posted by: scat | August 08, 2005 at 12:36 PM
There's a competitive-eating circuit?
Posted by: slyeyes | August 08, 2005 at 12:48 PM
I wonder how many she could eat if someone poisoned her tapeworm?
Posted by: Christobol | August 08, 2005 at 01:14 PM
I think she has a trap door attached to the bottom of her stomach ... food never even makes it to the small intestine ... just shoots right out her butt.
I'm still pissed that she is 99 pounds.
Posted by: punky brewster | August 08, 2005 at 01:20 PM
After reading Targetgirl's linked article above, I don't think Sonya Thomas is human either. I mean, the woman looks like a stick and she ate 11 POUNDS of cheesecake?!?!?!
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | August 08, 2005 at 02:56 PM
And yes, Sly, there is a competitive eating circuit. The Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island on July 4 has been around forever, and each year sees more and more contests added to the list. The Downtown Atlantic Cheesecake contest last year was also in Brooklyn.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | August 08, 2005 at 02:58 PM
That reminds me of a joke, Punky:
Q: What do you call a vegetarian with diarrhea?
A: A salad shooter.
Posted by: Christobol | August 08, 2005 at 03:00 PM
*snork* ewwww.
Posted by: seatazzz | August 08, 2005 at 04:05 PM
Sly,
You NAILED the sticking point of my thought processes too.
I'm reading along marveling like the rest, and then *SKREEECH* my mind cannot get past the notion that there is a "competitive eating circuit."
And whats more, they evidently seek the kind of legitimacy of other sports...like big time wrestling. They got the names to go with it:
"Crazy Legs" Conti
"Big" Brian
"The Shredder" Goldstein
"Cookie" Jarvis
"The Tsunami" Kobayashi
"The Bison" Meduna
"Hungry" Charles Hardy
"Beautiful" Brian Seiken
"Moses" Lerman
"The Locust"
"The Jalepeno King"
"Pat from Moonachie"
"Eater X" Janus

sly - you need to start watching ESPN - they show the competitive eating contests from all over the world - but you can only watch for a couple of minutes before nausea ensues!
Posted by: Eleanor | August 08, 2005 at 04:15 PM
Tramp!
Posted by: Amy | August 08, 2005 at 07:34 PM
Mad and I and some friends went to see Cats recently and went to a nice Italian restaurant afterwards where, showing on the TV, was the ESPN Eating Competition. She placed second, just after that Kobayashi guy. I thought it was funny they would show that at a restaurant. Maybe it subliminally made people eat faster so they would get more customers in a day...
It is interesting that the winners of these things tend to be really tiny people, blowing away all the 350 lb. redneck-lookin' guys.
Posted by: Mike "Mad's Dork" Weasel | August 08, 2005 at 07:40 PM
In some part of the world, such as Niger, the meaning of competitive eating is completely different. There, competition involves getting the food.
Posted by: slyeyes | August 08, 2005 at 08:25 PM
I would like to mention here, that as a native citizen to Wisconsin, along with the likes of Tim Bedore (look him up at www.bobandtom.com), not ALL of us are obsessed with sausage and beer. Some of us are obsessed with sausage AND beer AND wearing comical hats in the form of cheese. While watching football. (and only WI natives are allowed to say anything about that in jest.)
Posted by: Maureen | August 08, 2005 at 09:55 PM
Jeff, the 65 hard-boiled eggs in 6 minutes 40 seconds did remind me of Cool Hand Luke, but for some reason all I could think of was Cool Hand PUKE! (And actually, what we have here is a failure to masticate.)
Posted by: bbescuela | August 08, 2005 at 10:08 PM
I'll bet she has to file an Environmental Impact Statement just to fart.
Posted by: Stupendous Man | August 08, 2005 at 11:19 PM
To return to the teaser for this one, if you went all the way to the tongue-in-cheek bio at the bottom of "Targetgirl's link," you'd discover that she is, indeed, single. FYI for all you guys out there . . .
And it *is* awful that in this country we make contests out of gorging ourselves while in plenty of other nations, famine rules.
Not awake enough to be very witty right now - time for bed, now that it's officially my birthday . . .
Posted by: blt | August 09, 2005 at 01:13 AM
She should totally hook up with the hot dog eating guy.
"Oh, hot dog guy... aren't you full yet?"
Posted by: Dread Pirate Shermano | August 09, 2005 at 03:12 PM
Stay tuned for her video "Arteries of Quik-Crete". I'd give anything to take her to a buffet five minutes before closing just to see what kind of damage she could do. She'd probably look like the Tazmanian Devil tearing through a forest...just without all the spinning, I guess.
