Got my assignment from my employer tonight for Saturday. I am tasked with going to the World Hard Boiled Egg Eating Championship in Radcliff, KY to put together a television news story. Joey Chestnut and the Black Widow (i think) are supposed to be there to see who can eat the most hard boiled eggs in 8 minutes. I will report back tomorrow night with how this one goes. Should be fun.

Instantly made me think of this scene from Cool Hand Luke.

If you're allowed to post a clip that would be cool.

I once tried the bar louie rock the tot contest, talked to much smack and totally sucked at it! Little buggers were super hot, sharp and greasy. Plus the guy next to me was shoving them into his beer and then trying to eat them while gagging, that totally threw me off to.

AWESOME assignment! I love watching this stuff. My buddy at work ate two 1 lbs. burgers, 3 lbs. of fries, and 2 banana splits in 40 minutes once. It was crazy to watch and about made me puke. Funny thing is after we left we went bowling and he ate an order nachos while we were there. Crazy what some people can eat.

Joey Chestnut ate 141 eggs in his 8 mins. I am working on the piece now and will post at least a link to it sometime tonight or in the morning. It was disgusting.

Here is the video story for our evening newscast of Chestnut eating 141 eggs. Its what we call in the business a natural sound package. The photographer, me, gathers all the sound and pictures and puts the story together without a reporter or anchor. Did I mention it poured rain without any cover at this event.

The camera still works, which is what I was worried about. Don't care about myself getting wet. Despite the rain it was a fun event.
