Heck, if -- like the women's winner -- I could eat the number of my age ... I'd've won the men's contest ... well ... almost ... um ... whut wuz the question? (Burp) ...
Nah ... I agree with P'B' ... (while "lunch" on the job is often bratwursts (sans buns) or other meat products, it lasts me all day, and not "done in 10 minutes" ...) at a regular sitdown meal, about two is more than enuf ...

cindy, they were using water (let's see, checks Bloomberg's 50 page rules sheet, yes water is a freebie) to wet down the rolls (which is gross in itself). The local news had several comments to the effect that it was repulsive and disgusting but "really cool" to watch.

I'm curious how long the contestants are required to do interviews before they're allowed to run behind the partition for the projectile vomiting contest.

When a friend noted that he would be lucky to get six down in ten minutes, I encouraged him to start training at his desk during lunch time.
What could possibly go wrong?
