An Update From The Front Lines

1:04PM: "He bowed out, ungracefully. Left half a Balance bar, and most of the candy. He got through the chips."

3:43PM: "His excuse is that he felt like he was near-seizure because of all the sodium."

You know who else ingested a lot of sodium??? George motherfucking Washington! Did that stop him from crossing the goddamn Delaware to fight for you and me? Unacceptable. Take a lap.

Posted by blndebnker, Aug 22, 2008 3:15PM

Not for nothing, I don't think sodium causes seizures. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

As far as the egg mcmuffins, what would be an acceptable amount for a challenge? I'm thinking 10 in 15 minutes or something along those lines.

You've got to tier the minutes based on the bank.

I saw a guy at Goldman eat 8 Quarter Pounders with cheese in 2 hours. They had to call the nurse because his blood pressure starting rising and he broke out in sweats.

He ate the buns all at once then hit the meat patties. Guy is a legend

Ew the meat sweats are gross. Two of my friends did a taco bell contest and one of them started to sweat profusely after the 5th one. SO NASTY.

8 quarter pounders in 2 hours!! A guy here ate 6 big macs in 30 minutes... and some girl a while back ate 5 in under 5 minutes (she was a pro). I usually get three QP's when I hit mcD's drive through for a late night snack

You got some sob story about seizures brought on by sodium? Boo hoo

Too much salt makes you puke. That's what the nurse at Bear said when they made me drink glass after glass of it after the MD saw me drink a bottle of cough syrup.

@18
Meatsweats do suck, but it's better than an eating contest at taco bell followed up by your friend shitting himself in your car on the way home. While a post taco bell fart is always funny, if you play with fire you run the risk of getting burned.

Funniest part - he levered his ass off the seat of my dad's volvo with his feet in the footwell and his back against the front seat (he was at least courteous). when he got out of the car the shit had leaked through his shorts showing a nice stain. When I saw his shit stained shorts I laughed so hard that I threw up in his driveway.

Food historians offer four possible theories for the origin of mayonnaise. The most popular story dates to June 28, 1756, when the French Duke Richelieu captured Port Mayon on the Spanish island of Minorca. When preparing the victory feast, the duke's chef was forced to substitute olive oil for cream in a sauce. Unexpectedly pleased with the result, the chef christened the result "mahonnaise" in honor of the place of victory.

Carame, a French food writer and author of Cuisinier parisien: Trarte des entries froids believed the word was derived from the French verb manier, meaning to stir. Another food expert, Prosper Montagne maintained that the origin lay in the Old French word moyeu, meaning egg yolk.

Still others insist that the creamy sauce was a specialty of the town of Bayonne in southwest France. Thus, what was originally called bayonnaise was later modified to mayonnaise.

Regardless of its origins, mayonnaise quickly because a popular sauce and spread in European cuisine. In the early 1900s, a German immigrant named Richard Hellmann opened a delicatessen in New York City. The salads that his wife made with her homemade mayonnaise were particularly popular items. When customers began to ask if they could purchase the mayonnaise itself, the Hellmans produced it in bulk and sold it by weight in small wooden butter-measuring vessels.

Eventually the Hellmans were packing their mayonnaise in glass jars. In 1913, they built their first factory in Astoria. A company in California, Best Foods Inc., was also enjoying success with their version of mayonnaise. In 1932, Best Foods acquired the Hellman's brand.

A variation of mayonnaise, made with a cooked based and labeled salad dressing, was developed by National Dairy Products in 1933 at the Century of Progress World's Fair in Chicago. It would eventually become known as Kraft Miracle Whip Salad Dressing.

Some of you Wall Street folk are pathetic. Can't take down a vending machine in 5 hours? Sad. Can't take down 4 Egg McMuffins in an hour? What a joke. But props to the Goldman guy who took down the 8 Quarter Pounders (@3:18) and the other guy that took down 6 Big Macs (@3:31). @3:11 - well said.

Hmmm, #35 maybe an acquaintance of mine. I once met a guy at a bachelor party bragging about how for fun on rides back from LBI he stops at Taco Bell and Dunkin Donuts, and grabs a bean burrito meal, which he washes down with a DD Great One, which is 32 ounces of coffee. Then he hops into his car and tries to get back to Bergen county before he sh!ts himself. Needless to say, he's had his car detailed a couple of times.

This thread is one for the history books. Incredible...

Some of the true gems in here are the 'my little pony' sleeping bag allusion, and the taco bell-volvo incident!

My question regarding the mexico vs sweden affair is this: did the shits creep up on your friend so fast that he didn't have time to react... Normally even the most explosive diarrhea gives you a good 5 - 10 secs forewarning to make a dash for the toilet.. You guys couldn't pull over for a side-of-the-road exorcism?? Please elaborate. Thanks.

#35 Thank you for the hard laugh, you made my day... Runs to Taco Hell will never be the same now...

Posted by guest, Aug 22, 2008 5:19PM

@44 - close. It did occur in Bergen County but not after coming back from LBI. We were at one of the lone taco bells there at the time (near the NY State border) and had to make a run back towards the GWB.

@46 - he was trying to fart and make the car smell. I think he knew he had to dump, and was surprised by the ferocity of the shart, which turned out to be more of a shit than a shart. I'm glad I could entertain you guys - well except for blndebanker, but we can't please everyone.

I will take down 4 Egg Mc Muffins in one hour. Hell, let's see if I can get someone to record it and put it on youtube.

Bess/Carney, you know how to get in touch with me via IM or email my home addy.

Pics will be provided in any event, along with a verification from a third party.

I'm pretty freakin hungry in the mornings anyhow.

Greetings from Chicago,

Update: Damn, all my clothes from NY are starting to get tight on me anyhow (I've gained 15lbs in the month or so I've been here).. Might as well do it, considering I had half a baked chicken (2 legs, 3 breasts) last night for dinner, courtesy a delivery plate from Mumsie. I ate the third leg late last night.

Bring it on, 4 EMM's.

I shit myself the other day on a conference call. Thought it was a fart, but it was liquid. Had to put the call on mute and run (waddle, actually, to keep it from spreading to the trousers) to the men's room to clean it up. I was commando the rest of the day.

When I got back, the same douche banker was still spewing BS about the some irrelevant assumption in the model.
