During days when you drive up and down the coast, doing presentation after presentation, write some articles and debriefs you are basically doing the thing you like to do, which is for me something useful. However in the little time during which you have some time to spare I read lots of newspapers and sometimes read about big events that are being attended by lots of people and even get a fair share of media coverage. They are generally held in the USA and have low access barriers (eg idiots can participate too) which is very democratic and often quiet funny.
The world champion hot dog eating this year is American (what a surprise) and he is generally proud of it.
The Canadians are often in direct competition with the USA but tend to take things to a higer level up til today ! Vermont organised...one sec...The Annual 'Odor Eaters Rotten Sneaker Contest'. Yes, you can imagine the smell of success here...
Who comes up with these ideas and who participates? The wonders of the world I guess.
But it must be a releave to the Americans that there is a contest they can beat the Canadians at and I am looking forward to see the Hot Dog champ to give this one a go. I bet that it involves lots of training (and trainers) Redbull and maybe they should be tested on EPO and of course the illegal use of stinkbomb and acid. But I guess Dr Rachel Herz, author of Scent of Desire (shown on the picture) has all this covered. Oh dear, I will stick to doing meetings.
