Chow / Sports I Am the 2009 ID Spring Roll Eating Contest Champion
Posted by Paul Constant on Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 10:58 PM
That's right. I ate 23 spring rolls in 2 minutes, putting me over the top against Brock Huard, the former Seahawk, who ate 21 spring rolls. Dino Rossi ate 8 spring rolls, and Dow Constantine had a paltry 6.
Kelly O was there to take photos. Here is a photo of Geo of the Blue Scholars fondling my trophy:
Here is a detail of the nice plush work on the trophy:
And here I am, my mouth still full of the additional two spring rolls I ate as a victory lap:

Kelly also took video, which will be online tomorrow is available here.

@ 12, 26 - I don't think ANYONE looks too good after participating in one of these.
Congrats, Paul. You are a stud. I want to bear your children. Somehow.

@65: If you watch the video, you'll notice that Brock Huard is trying as hard (Huard?) as he can, too. And I beat him like a little bitch.
65

Sooo, is it gross if I ask how it turned out for you? You know. Every year on the 4th of July I wonder what the rest of the weekend is like for the hotdog competitors.
56
@51, Yes, that is exactly why. Because we have eating contests. Your posting on a blog has surely helped feed dozens of starving people. Please, post some more!
51
There are millions upon millions of people who starve on this planet every day. And we have eating contests. For shame. It's no wonder people hate Americans.

I saw you chumming it up with the eating competition judge (and a professional eater himself) before and after the competition. I smell foul play.
...or at least some post spring roll flatulence.

Hats off to Paul. Holy crud did he put those things down! His eating prowess was a wonder to behold, and we couldn't have been soundly trounced by a nicer guy!
36
That (Paul chewing) IS adorable. #20 and #26 actually kind of don't contradict each other. ...although, instead of Down Syndrome, I would just say Paul looks like he's about 3 years old.

TRIUMPH!
Moral: Paul Constant always, always brings it.
Congratulations, I've never been more proud of anyone.

You were truly heroic, Paul. Good call on the snap button shirt w/ the Superman shirt beneath it.
I thought Brock was a shoo-in. I caught Geo on the way out the door and he mentioned that you actually know pro gurgitators. I should have put my money on you.

that has got to be the sexiest thing I've ever seen. Is there such a thing as a springroll eating contest winner fetish?
25
Oh, tremendous news. I hope the heartburn's not too bad.
Also - Rossi only managed 8? What's wrong with the man? Does he have some kind of blockage?

Paul Constant is adorable, clearly this is a picture of him chewing. Do you look good chewing? Also don't take the lord's name in vain

Jesus Christ you are ugly. Do you have to be a retarded/chubby/pseudo-hipster to work at the Stranger? Never trust chubby cocaine addicts. There is just something... not right.

Woooo!
You beat The Brock!! And WTF.. Dino could only manage a measly 8!?!?! That is a piss-poor GOP showing, I say. But back to business:

That's impressive. I know the tater tot king of denver: his strategy is to mush all the tots together then eat them like a big apple; I guess that wouldn't really work with spring rolls though.
