Tonight, while brushing my teeth, I was kinda half-watching this show on the food network about the best eating contests in the US. There was a crawfish eating contest in the south, a hot dog eating contest in the north, and a bunch of others that I didn't see because I only watched for 5 minutes.

What caught my attention was the one that was on when I started watching. It was a hamburger eating contest at this restaurant in Connecticut called The Yankee Doodle Coffee Shop. Each time a person breaks the hamburger record, they get inducted into The Doodle Hall of Fame. Sweet!

The restaurant has a website where you can see the current hall of fame. The current record is 28 burgers, which seems almost disgusting. The current women's record is 23. I only know a few women who could eat 20 hamburgers, so a 23er must be a pretty special gal.

Here's a pretty mint stocking cap that somebody should... cough cough ... buy me.

Keith Conway and I have been talking about having a Swiss Cake Roll eating contest for a few years now. I'm thinking I could probably do 50. (Unless puking is illegal, in which case it'd probably be more like 47.) It'll never happen, but it's still fun to talk smack about it.
