Athleticism for Turkey Day

| 4 Comments

As I write this, the 2001 Glutton Bowl is on the Fox Sports channel, with contestants vying to eat as much as possible of hot dogs (25), hamburgers (11), whole beef tongues (1.5), mayonnaise (128 fl oz), or whatever in a limited time. The Weekly Standard has a piece on the event and other forms of competitive eating.

Each competitor is introduced with some fact about their background; my favorite was the guy who had been banned from an all-you-can-eat shrimp restaurant.

Isn't this one of the seven deadlies?

Yes, and it does lose its appeal when presented in this form.

Mmm...beef tongue: the food that tastes you back!

That simply has to be a Homer Simpson quote.
