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.

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.
from the story you wrote i could tell you didn’t really eat those rolls!
This is full of awesome.
congratulations Paul! glad to see your pre-meal routine worked well. you beat them with BRAINS!
Take that Dino Rossi!!
@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!
Disgusting.
Congratulations, Paul!
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.
You are fucking adorable, Paul Bobby. Congratulations.
Congratulations?
Way to go, little bro!
I am at the Fishbowl in Olympia giving you a slow clap. Way to take down the politicians.
Dude, you should sue whoever posted the picture-
you look like an Elton John impersonator about to hurl
wow. you professionally trained to beat a bunch of people just trying to have fun. way to take it too far. business as usual, stranger staff!
@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.
@ 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.
