Read this story about a lobster-eating contest and tell me if you think this is possible: Weighing 98 pounds and eating 110 POUNDS of lobster meat...in 12 MINUTES.

In all, she consumed over 110 pounds of lobster meat, breaking the old record by more than a pound.

OK, maybe they were 3 lb. lobsters before hand, But there's no way there was that much meat on them- especially as the lobsters get smaller this time of year. I'm not buying it completely. If so, good for her. I'd puke my brains out.

Without trying to be racist, she looks Asian. Mr. Hot Dog is Asian. Is there a parallel?

HOW DO MEN FEEL ABOUT LOSING TO YOU -- A FEMALE? Some men are very gracious, and accept it, now that I have been eating professionally for almost 2 years.
Wait. People do this professionally?

I know, how greedy! Mmm, I love Lobster. Kind of a pricey dish to be using in an eating competition...

I think they are in the same family as the common Giant Beetle, and I've heard they taste very similar when cooked... so, no wait, the Giant Beetle is expensive too. Never mind.

What a waste. Lobster is already quasi-endangered since we fished all the big ones decades ago, and it's something to be savored, not crammed. Boo to that.

scary.... the "US Open" was just a few weeks ago on ESPN2. Kobayashi won after consuming 2 servings of "tailgate platter". Each with 6 pounds of food on it.
