The Pizza Eating Contest The following is a story from long ago, it represented how I viewed the relationship between food and myself. In the late eighties, Mike Follermund and I were working a double time Sunday. We both decided to work through lunch. “I am hungry Mike; I really want to go get a slice of pizza.’’ is how I recalled that the conversation went, as our tour was winding up. One thing led to another, before I knew it Mike challenged me to a contest betting me ten dollars that I could not eat an extra large pizza in ten minutes. Mike was very street smart having grown up in the Bronx. Follermund was another fat bastard, although being almost a decade younger then I; he had a huge waistline that looked like he was wearing an inner tube under his shirt. Besides that, Mike also had a large butt; it was unusual to see that on a man. I took on the bet and we both agreed that the pizza would not have any topping on it and Mike was to order and pick up the pie. As I waited in the garage for Mike, I told ‘Big Head’ Huntermen about the contest. Huntermen received his name because the Phone Company had to order a special sized helmet to fit his noggin. Mike was giggly as he came in holding the oversized box. Upon seeing it, ‘Big Head’ wanted a side bet for another ten dollars, which I accepted. Hunterman’s ‘goggle eyes’ lit up for joy when he saw that sneaky Follermund had ordered a double dose of mozzarella cheese, the pizza was huge and dripping with oil… upon seeing it, even I was doubtful I could eat the monster. The adrenalin kicked in and within six minutes after saying goes, Mike threw his money on the table and headed for home. Huntermen left two minutes later, when I broke apart one of the two remaining pieces, “He growled you are an animal!” Groaning by the time I got to the house, Nancy had no sympathy for my acute discomfort, as she snatched the victory money out of my weak fist and went shopping for a new handbag.
