So today was the Burrito Challenge, and Todd ate the first burrito in eight minutes. I took a $100 save bet after that, which meant that he did not have to eat the second burrito and I only had to pay him $100 instead of $200.
The waitress said it was the fastest she'd ever seen anyone eat it. She kept looking at his empty plate, then at him, with a gleam of amazement in her eyes.
Yesterday he let me know that he'd won several competitive eating events, including a hot dog eating contest and a pie eating contest where he downed five whole cherry pies. But when he told me this, I felt that it was too late to honorably back out from the bet.
But I was too depressed to play poker in the aftermath.
Update: We now have a new bet on the ABC reality show which is something like Driving with the Stars. Celebrities racing stockcars. We drafted three celebs each with a bet riding on the highest combined finish. My picks were Ty Murray (rodeo champion), Laird Hamilton (surfer), and Bill Cowher. His picks were William Shatner, John Cena (pro wrestler), and Jewel. Nuff said.
I will be in Florida this weekend and will resume posting when I return.
