Stomach stretching exercise
Well right now I’m losing this bout with my little case of insomnia, so I figured I could start on my first blog instead of staring at my bedroom ceiling for the next 4 hours. The only blog I usually read is the angry pharmacist’s (www.theangrypharmacist.com in case you wanna check it out), so I instinctively want to cuss and gripe about idiots for a few paragraphs, but for the sake of everyone reading I’ll try to keep it clean.
Alright, time for a little story. Tonight after the meeting, Scholfield decided to do some last minute training before the pizza-eating contest tomorrow by drinking as much fluid as he could in 20 minutes. He started off by bringing out some ice cold pink lemonade. He downed 64 oz. in less than 2 minutes (that’s 4 pounds of lemonade!) Little did we know, he was just getting started. He followed that up by drinking four 17 oz. bottles of water over the next 14 minutes. By the time he finished his last bottle of water, his stomach was so full it looked like he just swallowed a watermelon. For those of you doing the math at home, that’s 132 oz. of fluid (that’s over a gallon… 8+ pounds of fluid) in about 16 minutes.
Well he kept those 132 ounces in his stomach for about 7 seconds… Then it started coming back up, and it came up a lot quicker than it went down. Scholfield looked like ole faithful for the next few minutes as the gallon of water/lemonade/some chicken he ate for dinner made its way from his stomach out to the pavement.
After that amazing display of intestinal (well in this case it was more stomachal) fortitude and incredible stomach capacity, I know one thing going into tomorrow regardless of who’s competing in the pizza-eating contest: I’ve got my money on Scholfield.
