    Wow. The top six finishers shattered both pickle records by over a pound. It would have been interesting to see how Brian would have performed. May be that he would have pulled the upset. You never know.

    I would like to send out a big congrag to Pat Bertoletti for accomplishing what i consider the impossible . 5.75 lbs???? Incredible to say the least. Regardless of whether they were sour dill from the jar or sour garlic, pickles are pickles and there is just about so much you can eat. Pat & Bob you have no idea how honered i am that my hat and bib were displayed at the contest. A big shout out to Sonya 5.4lbs who just missed the big pickle. I think she really wanted this one. Cant say enough about Hall Hunt whom i showered with advice but finished with a very impressive 4lbs . Good job by everyone that competed including the not so familiar names who eclipsed my record yet! Just shows that records are made to be broken . Time to ring out the old ring in the new. One more thing i might add. Unlike a few others i am not bitter that someone else won the pickle crown. For those of you that think your titles should be preserved forever just because you think youre something special or think that for some stupid reason the IFOCE should preserve it out of respect, stop being selfish get the shit out of your ear and let the new kids get a crack at it

    Impressive totals indeed! Very classy of you Brian to offer up your apron, your impression remains on that title for all time. Pat, the world is your Gherkin. Let us all pause to see what else this kid can do….

    Brian, everyone knows that you are referring to Don Lerman so just say it.

    Brian wants Lermans records broken because his was?

    You call that a pickle record ? now Lerman’s bean is something else!

    The reason Lermans records have not been broken as of yet is because the Sheas feel sorry for him and he would end sending them the nastiest emails you could imagine

    I doubt that the Sheas feel sorry for Don or are afraid of his e-mails. It seems the pickle contest developed from the sponsor. People attribute too much thinking to the Sheas. Their approach is pretty straightforward and they make quick decisions. If something clicked for a contest about other records, they would do it regardless of who holds a current record.

    I outright reject and refute this” afraid of his e’mails “” I do not and have not had any correspondence with the Sheas or their office in years nor do I intend any sending any emails in the future or present under any circumstances.

    Brian is not your friend Don. Good post on this site, just keep doing what you are doing Don.

    Oh Don cut the crap. If they decide to hold a bean or bologna contest and someone broke your record you would submit letters of outrage to Bloomberg and congress

    anony 9;58 you are very wrong . Sheas are frightened of the possiblity of a Moses like parting of the sea if they dared to hold a baked bean or bologna contest . To the great Don Moses , his records are considered sacred just like mint condition comic books and baseball cards

    Historian and anons, stop trying to goad Don. Let it go. Nothing good ever comes of these posts.
