Cory was watching the oddest thing last night. Guess that's what happens when you're tired and stressed out from a loooong week (and since he's on call this weekend it wasn't the end of his work week). Anyway, he was flipping through channels and stopped on the Discovery Channel where they had a documentary about competitive eating. From what I saw, it definitely looks like a male dominated sport (and they do consider it an athletic event), so I'll refer to the competitors as guys. These guys train for the events - the contests where people try to eat as many hot dogs, peppers, doughnuts, etc. as they can in a certain amount of time. One guy keeps in great physical shape by running 4 miles a day, and he works on stretching out his stomach by drinking 2 gallons of water a day. Apparently the big rivalry is between the U.S. and Japan, and the Japanese kick butt because they're so disciplined with their "training". LOL! The Japanese kid that won the hot dog eating contest by eating 50 (50!) hot dogs in 12 minutes was this skinny, tiny little thing. I can't imagine how much his stomach had to expand to do that! The whole thing was just bizarre, and apparently I paid more attention than I thought since I'm writing all of this. Okay, I think I need a hobby :)
