I participated in the grits eating contest over the weekend at Louisiana Downs. There was really no competition, because there were professional eaters lined up with us radio DJ's. I spent more time watching the pros than eating, plus I knew I had to continue to work the rest of the afternoon. Considering there was no butter or fixins to be found, I'm proud of eating 1.5 pounds of plain grits! And I didn't spew grits in the toilet later! The winner ate 18.9 pounds of grits in 10 minutes. That's like eating three babies! Fox News even picked up the video!

Kiss my grits!

I read about that. How the hell does anyone eat 18.9 lbs of anything? And he had just been at another contest the day before and ate some ungodly amount of something (I'm old, I forget what).
Really, a pound and a half? With no butter? Why? You knew you weren't gonna win.
I guess I'm proud of you and glad to be your 'blog buddy'. I think.
Hmm...maybe if they had cheese in them. Yum.
Impressive, though!
