Liz Gilbert, two time winner of the women’s division in Pete’s Grill pancake eating contest, has graduated from Johns Hopkins and is acting in a play called “Game On” this weekend:
Last fall the playwrights met with the apprentices and talked with them about the play’s sports theme. In those discussions, the writers discovered certain ideas and talents that they incorporated into the piece. For example, actor Elizabeth Gilbert, a two-time pancake-eating champion of Baltimore, inspired a segment about competitive eating. Apprentice Bing Putney’s ability to jump tall objects was included in scenes involving lacrosse players.

The winning choice will be revealed during tomorrow’s show.
updated corrected Mr. Golic’s first name (thanks Wing Tut)
Update March 13 Mike-Greenberg.com reports that the eating contest was the winning choice.
Russ from the Ace of Spades blog, who sought tips on competitive bacon eating, has a report on the contest and his subsequent trip to the hospital where he was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic. He does not blame his diabetes on the eating contest since bacon has no carbs and believes his high level of cholesterol is temporary.
I get multiple visits from the hospital’s chronic disease coordinator (diabetes is her biggest bag), the nutritionist, and even a doctor. Not the doctor who I saw on Tuesday (she left for a vacation in ….Belize…. on Tuesday night), but another doctor who I’ve seen in the past for a small ganglia cyst. He sits down to talk with me about my health, and proceeds to tell me that not only do I have high blood sugar, but my LDL reading are way high. I told him about the 2008 First Annual Blue Ribbon Bacon Fest, and he damn near falls out of his chair laughing. To quote him: “You know, I get a lot of stories from patients like “Doc, my readings are just high because I had a big breakfast”, but you’re probably the first patient who’s actually given me a plausible reason for high readings. He decided to re-check my blood in a month to see what it looks like out from under the shadow of bacon.
The new poll asks what member of the current IFOCE top 25 would you most like to see a song about on “Stick to Blogging”, Beautiful Brian’s new CD. The desired song could contain either praise or criticism.
A fragment of a song called “Let Me Tell Ya” has been added to the CD website. The song makes accusations of steroid use, but the clip does not provide enough details to determine the identity of the alleged steroid user.
2 audio clips have been added to the beautifulbrian reverbnation page. Badland Booker makes a guest appearance to pay homage to “Super” Paul “Bonebreaker” Barlow. BeautifulBrian.com has a page about the collaboration. The “Stink for Yourself” clip has also been uploaded.
Jill Stoler says the song “Black and White” is inaccurate regarding her now defunct relationship with Dale Boone.
