MSNBC CE poll
There is currently a poll on MSNBC asking the question “Are competitive eating contests harmless celebrations of gastronomic greatness or sheer gluttony?”
The choices are: 1) Lighten up, people! They’re a belly-full of innocent fun. 2) With a third of Americans now obese, these contests are in bad taste. 3) I don’t know
The anti-CE voters are currently leading 51% to 44%

Little ditty about Rich and Carlene
Two Vegas eaters headin’ out to the buffet
Richie’s gonna eat six pounds of spam
Carlene licks her lips after a gallon of jam
Suckin’ on Corny dogs outside the state fair
Carlene sittin’ on Richie’s lap
He’s got his hands in her hair
Richie say, hey Carlene lets run off
For a nice cup of tea
Dribble off that posole
Let me swallow my brie
And Richie say
Chorus:
Oh yeah lunch goes on
Long after the thrill of eatin’ is gone
Oh yeah lunch goes on
Long after the thrill of eatin’ is gone — they eat on
Richie sits back reflects his thoughts for a moment
Scratches his head and does his best George Shea
Well you know Carlene we oughtta run out of the city
Carlene says, Richie you ain’t miss no-thing
Richie say a
Chorus:
Oh yeah lunch goes on
Long after the thrill of eatin’ is gone
Oh yeah lunch goes on
Long after the thrill of eatin’ is gone
Gotta watch the clock
Gotta keep control
Gotta keep that food down
And finish my bowl
Gonna keep eatin’ as long as I can
Hot dogs laid out at high noon
Make us woman and man
Little ditty about Rich and Carlene
Two Vegas eaters done the best that they can

As long as EMT is present at least it shows that there is some concern of saftey from the organization running the event regardless of whether that organization is looking out for the eaters in the contest or just looking out for their own best interests in protecting themselves in case someone gets hurt. On the other hand an organization that is too cheap or just doesnt care to provide EMT at an event is comparable to a handful of unemployed derelicts forming a neighborhood crap game for chump change on a crack infested street corner. I think you get the picture

I had an EMT present last night when I took a shit…. now, I will officially declare shitting a “sport.”
Get over the EMT… What’s an EMT without an ambulance going to do? Call 911 and take your blood pressure. Anyone who knows CPR & the Heimlich could perform the same role.

The EMT can perform a tracheotomy. Fact.

Did you ever see the MASH episode where they have to perform a tracheotomy with a pocketknife and a ballpoint pen? I always wanted to try that.

I’d take a regular guy who watched MASH over a pimple faced geek EMT who watched a how-to video any time.

Maybe try using your search engines. . . I recommend Yahoo!
An EMT has to go through a little more training than a “how to video.”
The word “little” was used sarcastically for those who may have trouble with the English Language.
My Brother was an EMT, and is not (nor ever was) a pimply faced kid. In fact, he became one to help others, unlike some other people. He has now become a Paramedic and still enjoys helping people. No, let me rephrase, he made a career out of saving lives.
I’m sure he would love to hear what you have to say about him ha from 12:03 p.m.
I work out with him, and personally spotted him while he completed 5 reps of 405 lbs on the bench press.
So, if you want to give your name, I’ll give you his. Then we’ll see who has the last laugh.

Why is everything about benchpressing and thinly veiled threats of violence? Now Mike Landrich is going to have to put in his two cents:
“Did you brother use an apron?”
“Did he come to a complete stop?”
“Does he know where I can score some dianabol?”

It’s completely uncalled for to accuse Mike Landrich of steroid use.

Wow, some anonymous fuckheads like to challenge me, but are too much of pussies to ID themselves. I never said anything derogatory to anyone who didn’t proclaim himself the best bencher and possessor of the best physique in the IFOCE. I never said I was better than anyone else, I just didn’t take statements like that from someone who couldn’t back it up. The funny thing is, I never felt the need to promote myself, therefore I never said what I could do. Feeling the need to do so must be the result a self-esteem issue. I don’t feel any need to defend myself from allegations, because it is obvious that the source is a lowlife. Yet another anonymous tough guy.
Again I call on OJ to eliminate anonymous posts. Make these idiots log on and be accountable for their words.

Kevin
Its the old reformed smoker routine. They’re more anti-smoking that those of us who have never smoked. My guess its someone who is either on juice and is trying to deflect attention from his own use, or was on juice and sees little vials behind everyone who poses any threat to his over-inflated image of himself. Either way, let him make his accusations. If it gets him off to make allegations, let him have at it.

Personally, I’d go for ANAVAR (see below) . It gives you a bodybuilder’s physique and a lean body!! I could look like my hero, who prefers to remain anonymous.
Anavar and Fat Loss
Now here’s some interesting stuff for anyone interested primarily in the fat loss properties of this stuff: Anavar may be what we’d call a “fat-burning steroid”. Abdominal and visceral fat were both reduced in one study when subjects in the low/normal natural testosterone range used anavar (4). In another study, appendicular, total, and trunk fat were all reduced with a relatively small dose of 20mgs/day (8), and no exercise. In addition, weight gained with anavar may be nearly permanent too. It might not be much, but you’ll stand a good chance of keeping most of it. In one study, subjects maintained their weight (re)gains from anavar for at least 6 months after cessation (2)! Concomitantly, in another study, Twelve weeks after discontinuing oxandrolone, 83% of the reductions in total, trunk, and extremity fat were also sustained (8)! If you’re regaining weight, Anavar will give you nearly permanent gains, and if you are trying to lose fat (and you keep your diet in check), the fat lost with Anavar is basically looks to be nearly permanent. Check this chart out:

Well, “Stupid” I took your advice and did a quick Yahoo! search for EMT. And would you look at that…. “Get certified in 14 days” pops right up.
You made my point for me. Your brother used EMT as a stepping stone to becoming a paramedic. I’m sure he’d tell you that the sorry ass EMT’s that show for these events, with their stethoscopes and blood pressure cuffs, couldn’t do much beyond the aforementioned heimlich and tracheotemy.
Oh yeah, I squatted 315lbs for 19 reps…. and they were deeeeep! Now you.
Tell your brother good job for me, and while you’re at it quit living through his accomplishments and do your own set of benchpresses. I’ll be working on my cock push-ups.

“ha…”
I see you learned how to use a search engine. Congratulations are in order. However, you failed to look at how those “14 days” are earned. If you have 8 to 12 hours a day and the mental fortitude you can become an EMT in the aforementioned 14 days. Maybe try reading instead of assuming and believing every advertisement you see. Maybe this link will help you on your quest to becoming an EMT.

Read it. You might learn something.
As for “living through my brother’s accomplishments”
I can tell that you are too busy playing with yourself to notice that I was making the point that my brother is not a “pimple faced geek.” Trying to start an argument about who is bigger, faster or stronger was and is not what I am trying to accomplish. Although it seems that it is one of your objectives.
If you want that title, I’ll let you have it.

I’m reading these posts and what you have here is “ha” vs “stupid” two anonymous jokes ranking on one another. This is really too much to believe. Good chance Ha is the aice ringleader. You can tell from the tone of the comment . Landrich proves a point with the steroids. Someone left a comment a few weeks ago that top IFOCE eaters are using some magic steroid which will enable you to injest 15 to 20 lbs of food. That is not possible and totally untrue. Anavar’s function is fast results in weight gain or weight loss. I know a few bulked up bodybuilders that dropped a ton of weight in rapid fashion using that particular steroid.The weight loss was so drastic i hardly recognized them thinking they were deathly sick. Trimming fat in a short period of time using anavar will strongly enhance your CE skills. However like any other drug, steroids are dangerous and the risk factor is quite strong.

I really wasn’t promoting the use of ANAVAR for CE. I was replying to the poster who commented that I am trying to score dianabol. He obviously knows his juice, so I was commenting on what I think his particular drug of choice would be. Its either ANAVAR, or some stack with high androgens (judging by the whining bitch nature of his posts) and some sort of thermogenics (Clenbuterol?). Either that or a clean diet and hard training………………and a subscription to Muscle and Fitness.
