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:
All photos by Kelly O.
Kelly also took video, which will be online tomorrow is available here.

Disgusting! Yay Paul!
haha good job
rossi 0 for 3 since i knew of him
Congratulations! Are you some kind of doctor now?
your mom is probably REALLY proud of you right now. :p
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.
Now I understand why you wore that Superman shirt today.
Those spring rolls were fried, not fresh. It was a sight to behold…
“YOU ARE A BAFOON” (PARAPHRASED 4 CLARITY)
Dear Livejournal…
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:
Wooooooo!!!
PLEASE don’t post the video over lunch …
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.

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
Wow! Congratulations. To be honest, my money was on Angela. How’d she do?
*w00t*
Nice work, sir. Love the trophy pic. Ya done us proud.
i love you paul.
oink
superman indeed….dino rossi clearly was just there to be seen, photo op style. i mean 8 spring rolls? i could eat 8 spring rolls in 10 seconds let alone 2 whole minutes.
Professional Eating is the only real, American, sport.
That photograph of you is totally adorable.
haha have another spring roll fatty
You rule, I wish I could have been there to see it.
You are a champion and a superhero, Mr. C. Congratulations.
Yay! http://madeinhead.org/anism/wp-content/u…
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?
I never know Constant looks like he has Down syndrome.
@18 – You’re a liar and you know it. There is zero percent chance you could eat 8 in 10 seconds.
that has got to be the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen. Is there such a thing as a springroll eating contest winner fetish?
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.
Well, damn, now I want spring rolls.
I knew you could do it. You’ve made us proud, Paul Bobby 🙂
*I promised myself I wouldn’t cry*
It’s all that book-reading. Good job kicking ass, Paul!
Paul, you’ve made me very proud!
This should have the title “Reader’s Digest”
TRIUMPH!
Moral: Paul Constant always, always brings it.
Congratulations, I’ve never been more proud of anyone.
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.
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!
You’re a total stud! And now I want some springrolls.
fucking mutant.
Paul Constant, I have a crush on you. You are excellent.
Nicely done, sir!!!
Paul Constant is soooo adorable – especially with a mouth full o’ spring roll!
nthing the sentiment: that last photo is totally adorable. Yay, Paul!
I like winter rolls myself.
So, what place did the Bus get?
“That boy is a P-I-G pig!”
That’s gross.
So, so, SO proud of you, Paul Bobby. I feel a little teary! I CLAMOR FOR VID!
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.
Hero. Mine.
EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Yeah Paul!
