Strange But True

Well, my mother-in-law, her Uncle Jim, and his good friend, Art Rooney, are celebrating in the after-life, if there is one, since Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl.

I called a jail in another county a few minutes ago because I was told that a client, who is supposed to be in a local court in the morning for a hearing, was arrested and is being held. Sure enough, he's in the can. I don't think he'll make it tomorrow.

Why is it that criminals cannot keep out of trouble? In Orem, Utah, some dumbass called to report a burglar took his bag of marijuana. As if that wasn't stupid enough, the dope went to the sheriff's department to identify his stash.

I apologize to you all about not notifying you sooner; but since I've lost about 20 more pounds in the last couple months, I no longer keep track of this stuff like I used to ... the Queen Mary World Chili Cheese Fries Eating Championship is set for February 11th aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach. The competition is sponsored by the International Federation of Competitive Eating.

And on this Super Bowl weekend, Joey Chestnut won WIP Radio’s 14th Annual Wing Bowl’s top prize, a 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara S model, MSRP of $20,594. He also won the Wing Bowl 14 ring worth $5,500, setting a new Wing Bowl record with a total of 173 wings eaten in 30 minutes.

Joey had a good eating week, winning $4,000 on February 1 by taking second place at the GoldenPalace.com World Grilled Cheese Eating Championship, having been swallowed by KathyHowe Sonya Thomas, who eked out a half-sandwich win.

DISCLAIMER: The International Federation of Competitive Eating is against at-home training of any kind. The IFOCE strongly discourages younger individuals from eating for speed or quantity under any circumstances. The IFOCE urges all interested parties to become involved in sanctioned events -- DO NOT TRY SPEED EATING AT HOME.
