Eating Contest!

[domjoe]

My son just saw "Cool Hand Luke" with some members of his wrestling team and made a bet with some of the sophomore wrestlers.

A couple kids bet they could eat 50 hard-boiled eggs in 90 minutes.

A second guy bet he could drink a gallon of milk in half an hour.

I'm excited about this. Anyone want to make any side bets? The competition's tonight.

Sorry, as sson as you mentioned "Cool Hand Luke" all I could see was that girl with the water hose...

Please be sure to notify the local office of Homeland Defense about the Egg Contest before it happens. You don't want to have them coming by checking out an urban gas attack.

Cool Hand Luke: "What we've got here is failure to communicate," A classic line from the late '60's.

Ahem. You ah not from the South, ah you Mistah Foahskin? Ah believe the line is:

"What we have heah is a failyuh to communicate."

So true. I decided to translate for members of the northern tribes.

That is so you. P.

(What girl? I just see Paul Newman's grin.)

Well?

Are we waiting for the French and Russian judges to exchange bribes?

THE RESULTS ARE IN

One of the egg-eaters changed his rules and demanded that the eggs be scrambled and not hard-boiled. He was disqualified.

The other yolk-scoffer didn't show up.

BUT -- the younger brother (13 years old) of the kid where the tournament was held stepped into the breach and ate 21 hard-boiled eggs in something like 20 minutes, according to usually reliable witnesses.

The milk-drinker made his way through half a gallon in about 40 minutes, whereupon he barfed, which counts as a loss.

His financial backers showed their displeasure for this lackluster performance by holding him with his head in the toilet and fluching it, a procedure known as "a swirley" for our UK friends.

The egg eater - what a pussy!

Not bad for the milk drinker though. A half-gallon is a lot of fucking milk.

Thanks for the update Doc.

Interesting. I would have thought it the other way around. I guess I have more faith in my ability to drink a gallon of liquid than to eat 50 hard-boiled eggs - which sit very heavy on the stomach. I imagine four dozen-plus eggs and doubt I could even manage to fit that volume into my stomach, all other considerations aside.

Damn! I thought surely he'd make it.

Oh well, lesson learned.

Swirley's RAWK! I used to do that to my brother when he left the toilet seat up, causing me to 'fall in' when I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night. (I'd keep my eyes closed.)

He's almost 6 feet tall now. No more swirleys.

When I was young and stupid, I did drink at least a gallon of milk but it might have been a little over a half hour. It gave me diarrhea like you wouldn't believe. I think I could have handled the egss too, not at the same time, of course, but I would never consider it now.
