Man Eats 47 Cheese Sandwiches In 10 Minutes
<snip>

LAS VEGAS --There's a rising star on the competitive eating circuit. California man Joey Chestnut downed 47 grilled cheese sandwiches in ten minutes this weekend in Las Vegas to set a world record. That's eleven more sandwiches than the old record of 36.

Last month, Chestnut ate 50 hot dogs. Some say he's a threat to the reigning champ of food stuffing, Japan's Takeru Kobayashi.

Chestnut won the grilled cheese contest sponsored by the International Federation of Competitive Eating, the same group that runs the annual Fourth of July hot dog eating contest at New York's Coney Island.

5. He should just stuff those sandwiches
right into his aorta and save some time.

However, thinking on it, he seems to have way too much time on his hands already. :eyes:

10. I believe it was Billy Bob Thorton who once uttered the phrase,
and I'm paraphrasing here,"That guy ain't gonna sh*t right for the next week".

14. Didn't know how stuck I was up. Kept on eating cheese all day.
Until I put that bran inside me
That fiber did clear the way

Oh, give me fiber
Bulk & roughage
Fiber 'cause I want to feel light
Fiber! in the morning
Fiber 'fore I sleep at night

Obviously -- to the tune of "Fever," sung by Jan Hooks on SNL. One of my favorite SNL skits ever.
