    It is an outrage that the picture of Seiken in his Santa cap was not chosen! That really upsets me.

    I must say that was an impressive feat! The sandwich looks weel worth the $19.95. Certainly enough protein!

    It’s nice to see Sonya get some credit for being the best female HDB eater for a change. Any small lady who can down even 20+ HDBs in 10 minutes deserves loads of credit, let alone do the double deuce!

    Joey is in another solar system when it comes to eating HDBs. No wonder his Web site was initially named The Future of CE! He knew what he was talking about and Joey doesn’t talk smack. If he says he has done something, or will do something, you can take it to the bank!

    Overall. I thing Koby and Joey are near equals in most foods, but Joey has taken HDB-eating to a new level!

    Damn! Am I the only one posting this morning? Yet, I’ve been very productive (at work), so I don’t feel guilty one iota.

    Self: Rhonda do you have any specific plans for 2012?

    Rhonda: Not yet, but I’ll come up with a few things in the next week.

    Self: Maybe you should do your own version of speed-drinking Manishewitz like that cat, Bertoletti.

    Rhonda: No, he’s way too fast for me. I’ve been called fast before, but in a different light.

    Self: You just don’t have any balls!

    Way to go Rhonda. You must be androgynous. Nah. You have balls and are filled with great information and responses. Some of us do have to work, none is as organized as you juggling CE and your job and your balls. Keep going please. Will try to catch up though that would be quite the challenge. Yes, down some Manishevitz, that might slow you down. Bertie may crash and burn with his drinking though. Young yes, talented yes, but what do I know? Not much.

    Thanks for saying that 12:49. I can honestly say that unlike most days, today I have been a bit bored off-and-on all day, as many of my would-be customers are on vacation. I’m not complaining, however, because it all evens out.

    I would never, ever tell my boss I’m bored. I have a great capacity to look as busy as a cat in a litter box.

    Annony 12:42 — Shh, don’t tell any one but I think The Black Widow and Jaws already did have a love child together. They named him Matt Stonie.
