let the factories rust
i won't be joining the world of competitive eating anytime soon. duh. der gooch won the contest this morning with 9 donuts in ten minutes. looks like my change in eating habits has permanently affected my ability to eat fast, though. when i was a kid i could down an entire little ceasar's pizza in about seven minutes; now it's all i can do to complete a burrito or a rack of ribs.
i wasn't in this thing to win, though - just to enjoy myself, which i did, even though glazed donuts suck. ed definitely deserves that golden donut - a thing of beauty.
so i actually made an effort to hit the reunion this weekend - however part 2, the d&b's outing, was canceled, so darren and artie and i and our wives had lunch instead. it worked out better than i could have hoped.
so if you enjoyed america: the book, you will devour colbert's i am america (and so can you) - just as funny, and obviously aimed at the gallavanting-pundit audience. i particularly loved his section on old people.
Hey, didn't you lose to Jeri? Oh, and what if you would have entered the kid's bracket, would you have won that?
Nope, the kid's winner ate 6 donuts. Sorry Justin, maybe next year.
He was Justin's quote before the competition began.
"I think I can eat 20 donuts, that 1/2 a donut every 10 seconds, that's doable"
Your math isn't the only thing flawed here buddy...
