1. Just thinking about that makes my stomach turn

2. Kobayashi is the King of Eaters.

That kid just might be a space alien or something.

[Dora]

3. Just WHAT is the payoff for such gross gluttony?

I don't get it. Is it that important to win at something, anything?

[Blue-Jay]

4. Fame! Fortune! Abnormally large bowel movements!

win/win/win!

[Dora]

5. Hell, then why don't they ramp it up a notch

and start competitive BMs?

They could compete on two levels: weight and volume (size, not db).

6. Who's going to weigh and measure the sh**?

:hurts:

[Dora]

8. It's in the toilet.

Surely there is an engineer who could design a toilet to measure both the actual weight of the turd/s as well as the volume of water displaced by the turd/s.

9. Floaters could pose a problem

This is one for MIT

10. And so would your classic "loose stool"

This madness must stop. I am sickening myself.

7. Now, THERE'S a competition I could get behind!
