There are eating contests, and there are eating contests — but it takes a real man to consume 175 pogos in half an hour.
That's exactly what Bruce Stacey accomplished this past weekend in a feat that has attracted the attention of the Guinness Book of World Records, which has a category entitled 'Corn Dog Consumption.'
The long-time coordinator at Westmount's Sports & Recreation Department just shrugged modestly when asked about the trophy he received at the competitive eating meet at the Pierrefonds arena. His only comment was, "I'm still a bit thirsty."
"It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen," said Sports & Rec Director Mike Deegan. "I mean, 175 pogos! You have no idea how many that is until you see them all set out on a table. My stomach was turning at the sight of them, but Bruce just went in there and gobbled them up in 30 minutes, one after the other."
"It was disgusting, but at the same time it was somehow beautiful," added colleague David Lapointe.
Stacey says he plans to defend his title this summer at the International Corn-Dog Eat-Off in Peoria, Illinois.
