    With that kind of purse, it’s not exactly in the on deck circle to become a major event, at least not for MLE.

    I concur. However, that is the same purse (and I assume the same tier of payouts – $1000, $500, and $250) that it has been since 2002, according to OJ’s database. And it was called a major then (?).

    Well, since oysters are an extremely expensive food, I think that is like a built-in prize pool right there. Most people are going to eat hundreds of dollars of oysters and not have to pay for them. So I think just by entering you’re winning (if you’re a fan of oysters that is)!

    SyKo, I was hoping to see a response to your question about who might show up for Oysters. I would definitely put my money on Crazy Legs being there. Not only does he seem to love oysters, but judging from what he writes, N’awlins is like a home away from home.

    Though the money is light, and because Pat did really well in more or less an oyster-eating challenge last year (not really a contest), I half way expect to see him.

    I don’t think Joey will show up, given the small purse and the long trip from Cali.

    I just don’t know about Sonya. I haven’t read anything to give me an idea one way or another. If she doesn’t show and Pat doesn’t show, Crazy Legs and yourself might be two of the top three finishers, maybe even the top two.

    I’m not sure if Hall likes Oysters or not. If he does he could do very, very well in that event.
