San Jose circus peanut eating contest
MetroActive.com has an article about a circus peanut (a type of candy, not a nut) eating contest. While the winner is probably not a threat to Joey Chestnut as the best local eater, what the evening lacked in dominant eating performances, it made up for in bizarreness:
The entire spectacle was intertwined with a few films of Pink and Partridge’s exploits back in the Mile High City, and completing this theater of the absurd was the house band, Beachkrieg, San Jose’s only surf band. They don German World War I uniforms, smoke cigars and insult the French all night while the frontman shreds on a Farfisa organ. Scrunched down in my chair in the audience, I let it all sink in: the Circus Peanuts, the vomit, the lounge outfits, the martinis, the Farfisa and the Pepto-Bismol. With my shoulders shrugged and my hands in the air, palms facing upward, I uttered a statement disguised as a question: “And people think there’s more to life than this?”
