BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - A 105-pound professional eater was crowned Fruitcake Champion Tuesday after downing more than two kilograms in 10 minutes and beating her nearest competitor by a single bite.
With paramedics on standby, Sonya Thomas swallowed 2.2 kilograms of the ubiquitous holiday fare. "My jaw is very tired right now," she said after outeating 405-pound Eric (Badlands) Booker of Long Island by about 3.5 grams.
Booker of Long Island, who holds title to pea-eating and corned beef hash-eating contests, said there were no hard feelings after his close second.
"There is no agony of defeat in this sport," he said, nevertheless blaming his loss on a miscalculation on the amount of hot coffee he'd need to wash down the cake. Booker swigged from plastic foam cups between frenetic bites shoved into his mouth with alternate hands.
Thomas' approach was more methodical: She chomped down on and shoved in larger slices with both hands, taking little time to chew.
"This is much tougher than it looks," said contestant Gary Pufpaff, a bulky Buffalo radio host in his first eating contest. He managed to consume only about 400 grams - washed down with eggnog - to finish last in the five-person field.

would you like to know a secret?

Myk Murphy:
no, please, no secrets.
if you've had several accounts hacked, froupie, you may have been using a PC with a keystroke spyware app onboard. i recommend downloading "ad-aware" from lavasoft. even if this wasn't the hack method, it's a very nice app to run from time to time.
real life story: i'm taking over my colleague's work pc, and she has downloaded so much crap that i've had to perform major spyware surgery to clean it up. i won't so much as log into my least important email account until i reconfirm that my pc is clean.

Chewing Wax:
Respect is in direct proportion to the level of dazzle achieved by the fart jokes, and the poking in the eye, and the hammer on the head and the hey hey I'm a living joke...

Chewing Wax:
That's my take.

Heruka:

I've come to realize, I'm respected as a person, but my sense of humour, both cerebral and slapstic is the driving charactor in my personality.

Froupie:
i love a bit of slapstick, i watched laurel and hardy the other morning and howled with laughter. and of course, groucho was the perfect balance between slapstick and cerebral.
