'Murrica, Hell, Yeah!

[At] Sunday's contest at Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, wasn't even close. Molly Schuyler scarfed down three 72-ounce steaks, three baked potatoes, three side salads, three rolls and three shrimp cocktails -- far outpacing her heftier rivals.

That's more than 13 pounds of steak, not counting the sides. And she did it all in 20 minutes, setting a record in the process.
She finished the first meal in four minutes and 13 seconds.

I find it hard to wrap my mind around the concept that a person can be a professional competitive-eater, let alone that gorging one's self with about fifteen pounds of food in 20 minutes is considered to be a "sport".

What the hell is next, a "train-pulling"* competition?

Concur. To take something as basic and pleasurable as food and make it a disgusting chore is just foul.

On the other hand, it's always so much fun to see Survivorman go three or four days and then kill a mouse with a deadfall trap or find a birds nest with eggs in it or get his hands on a couple of crayfish - the pleasure of that tiny, unseasoned meal is so genuine, and so utterly human that you can't help but smile...

I wouldn't worry. Mother Nature will probably give this lady precisely what she has coming...

Train pulling, I used to work for a railroad as an engineer that would be interesting, oh fudge you don't mean that kind of train do you.
