My Dog Ate Your Phone Number

I have a feeling that OrthoJews and vegetarians are the only one who will be able to dig up their old contacts if these ever become popular. I'm sure they will eventually make kosher versions that are three times as expensive and half as delicious.

Bring on the Gyros

Well, according to the latest research, the Mediterranean diet is the healthiest. As soon as Matzahtime is over and we are back in H-town we're going to have to pay Super Pita a visit. 

Boo Freaking Hoo

Cry me a river. If he were being paid in CAD, I might feel a twinge of empathy.

And boo freaking hoo to the NYT too.

Damn You Kosher, Damn You!

Eating contests of various sorts are a traditional trade floor activity. My personal claim to fame is 17 Krispy Kremes in 30 minutes (I actually maxed out after 15 minutes or so after wolfing down a dozen in under 5). I guess times are tough because the latest industry eat-off was 3 cans of cat food in 30 minutes. To be fair, I did mine for free (donuts) and according to the trader at Wachovia that the guy to my right was IMing, this guy made $700 for his efforts.

This sounds more intriguing: eating one of each item in the vending machine over one day. This guy failed, but his machine looks like it has more non-gum stuff than the one in our office. I just counted 12 bags of chips (and chip bag-sized things ), 16 chocolate bar (and similar shaped things), 4 packs of cookies and 5 types of gum in ours. Unfortunately only about 50% kosher. At least we don't have pork rinds.
