I’m posting the above spread, to be consumed in 7 hours (by 4PM CST) an analyst at an unnamed firm in Chicago not because I support it but because there is nothing else going on and I made some poor decisions last night that are making this morning a bit rough. In truth, I’ve grown weary of the day long endeavors to consume 5 cookies and a bag of chips. Not challenges in general, but the pussification of something that started out so right. If you’re going to do snacks, you get an hour. If you’re not working against time, then you should eating something disgusting, or that demonstrates marginal creativity. I’ll keep you posted on this last one, but only because it’s being subsidized by Ken Griffin. Moving forward, give me something good or nothing at all.
Update: “14 down, most of the heavy stuff is done, taking some time to settle and then attacking the light stuff.”
Update II: 24 items done. Challenger says, “I’m going to explode. The picture really doesn’t do any justice to the difficulty of this task.”
Update III: Hour and 45 to go, 13 items left, 8,000 calories down. “Vision is blurry and equilibrium is off a bit.”
Update IV: “Couldn’t finish Oreos, popcorn, pretzels and potato skins. Overall 9,000 calories in 7 hours. But had to throw in the towel. It’s worth mentioning that each item left had been opened and partially eaten.”

If you actually were outing the ‘unnamed firm’ with the KG reference, couldn’t they come up with much better food challenges given their fre cafeteria?

WHAT ARE THE PERSONAL DIFFICULTIES???
definitely not NY…dude’s wearing sneakers
“definitely not NY”
nothing gets by you. not even “at an unnamed firm in Chicago”
The world NEEDS a standard contract for this. Start with # of items, Calories, fat content along with a time limit with maybe slightly differing terms for US vs UK contracts. For example, the above looks like a:
7 hour, 40 item, 9000 cal, 600g fat.
Set a standard:
1hr, 10 items, 2500 cals, 30g
Then we can trade them. Fitting that this comes to a head in Chicago. The Eurodollars started small too!
The sneakers say High-Frequency P/A but the mousepad says __________.
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
i’ll buy one of these for whoever successfully completes the mcdonalds challenge in 1 hour.

Personal issues are that Greg leaned over the table and tried to kiss her. Now Greg’s Mom is freaking all over her (Jealousy!).
@22 i hope you’ll also be paying for the funeral
What a mynx: http://twitter.com/MelissaCNBC/status/3386612175
USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
Or greg has decided to utilize his massive cock for clubbing baby seals rather than satisfying women, much to bess’ distress…
Chanting! Chanting! Chanting! Chanting! Chanting!
@24 why would that kill you?
@29 everything on the McDonald’s menu in an hour? that’d probably trigger cardiac arrest in many people.
Team america, fuck yeah!!
@18 CIG has a NY office.
“I made some poor decisions last night…”
Can we expect a little Charlie/Charlene Jr. in nine months?
One of the best challenges I have ever witnessed involved 4 Chipotle burritos (chicken, rice, black beans, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, 1/2 hot salsa, 1/2 medium corn salsa) in 45 minutes.
One of you NYC Ballers get on it.
what a deuschebag
@naked that sounds so delicious
Can Handbridge Capital do a reverse merger between Naked News and CNBC?
Sissy. I would have mowed that down before breakfast.
bess, what is making this morning rough?! what god damn it, what?
Get back to me when this punk can take down a gallon of vitamin D milk in 15 munites and keep it down for an hour. I only saw this completed once and it was by a girl!
@2
Original pic was (presumably accidently) of madoff’s head, given bess’ “bad decisions” last night, we’ll let it slide
@34
Sounds like it’d be a terrible if colorful mess to clean up.
Bess,
What no mention of the Wachovia maniac who ate CAT FOOD? I think that is in the same echelon as Oyster Boy. C’mon.
Bess, hair of the dog. There’s no other way.
Can someone please explain to me the obsession with Greg’s mom? Unless there is a particular reason these comments are about as witty as 5th graders trash talking on the elementary school playground.
ten dollar menu items in ten minutes….no more than two of one item.
Good to have you back Bess! “Pussification” – atta girlie, keep us awake!
@45 it began with a post from “Greg’s Mom” in June,
http://dealbreaker.com/2009/06/fiat-starts-to-kick-chrysler-t.php#c12
and it went precipitously downhill from there.
@42 You could apply that comment to @37 as well
Challenge:
Consume AIG’s 2008 annual report in one business day. It is 352 pages, but you can print it double sided.
@46 do it. and email me about it.
@43 he was definitely good, but no one tops oyster boy.
@44 happening right now.
Vodka Gimlets all around! Cheers!
Tonight in celebration of the successful launch of the Handbridge Capital Partners Apparel Line I will be consuming 1 liter of Crown Royal mixed with Coke Zero. I then will pass out in my son’s playpen…again.
Logo on mousepad reads MF Global..
@47 – the term “pussification” is from a famous george carlin bit on children.
53,
Crown. You’re a smart man.
55 I miss GC now more than ever.
@17 @18 you are in fact much more likely to see sneakers around the NYC citadel office than in chicago. they take themselves pretty seriously up there.
the real tip-off though is that doesn’t look like the NYC carpet or desks, and also last I checked there was no NYC vending machine, although that could have changed recently
What a fag
What a fag
What a fag
He said hes going to drink the popcorn. Unpoped and buttered………..this will be fun to watch.
@anal_yst- usually but last evening i decided to make it a long island iced tea night.
I have a challenge for all the secretaries of the world…..
1 hr to chug every guys cock in your office and keep it down….oh boy!
Agreed. This is garden-variety gluttony. Your average obese person knocks this back before lunch. Six and a half feet of subway sandwiches at least had novelty.
Handbridge Capital vending machine

@bess63- sounds like you like to party. call me.
63/bess what was greg drinking?
@68 cosmos
enough of the solo challenge stuff – we need food challenge races… this the next level.
@58 There’s no Chicago vending machine either, everything’s free. It does look like a Chicago desk through…the sneakers suggests it’s either GE Execution or GMQS.
the desks in chicago have a light grey edge, not a dark black one
@45 = Greg’s mom
This dude is a Wuss = Wimp + Pussy.
7 fucking hours to eat that…pace yourself haus and you’ll be fine. No more eating challenges that involve time limits longer than 2 hours…its farcical otherwise.
As said previously, there are no vending machines at Citadel Chicago. Everything is free from sushi to Gatorade.
I hear everyone calls him lady pants
@Naked
Epic week for you, go f*cking wild, you’ve earned it.
Then tell stories.
that is weak sauce DK…i knew the popcorn was going to be the deal breaker
having bet on my fair share of eat-offs, i have to say the hurt going on during the eating pales in comparison to the beached whales and floaters that mark the end of a snack’s journey. A vending machine holds several hundred Kourics worth of junk food.
CIG doesn’t offer candy and half chip varieties shown, although they might all be available in the wallgreens downstairs. Today would have been a sundae contest
Does he have to eat the gum?
I hope this guy kills himself for being a loser and a pussy!
Spin-Waldock!!
Suite 1400-A

Man vs Food on the Travel Channel (I think). Those are some serious challenges!
@46……….too easy, did it for brekkie today after a golf/drinking fest yesterday.
Those are, actually, the new-look of Trojan condom packages.
The Trojan condoms and gel come in different flavors now such as BBQ,Nacho Cheeze, choco,spicey, baked salty and no salt,strawberry,etc.
As to erogenous zone it depends on how your partner want it done, kettle cooked or baked.
