Now this sounds just too good to be true.
As the Sawtell Chile eating champion of 99. I would like to rise to the
occasion.
My passport is valid, I'm kinda free next week, I don't need to be put
up at the Beverly Hills Wiltshire, any old hotel would do. and if they
are offering to cover expenses, I'm sure the owner of Fox (Rupert
Murdoch) an ex Aussie who changed his nationality to American so that he
could become the mighty media Mogul that he is (suck suck suck and a
kiss ass thrown in for good luck) might just feel some sentimentality
and pay the airfare so that an impoverished Aussie could challenge the
rest of the world. I think the local television station here in Coffs
Harbour NSW (Prime) might just have a tape on file of me eating a 15 oz
glass of purreed Habs and a 7 oz glass of bird chiles in about 2
minutes.
So if You can, Mike please forward my credentials to the team at
Guinness World records.

Nice to know that all you kind folks are rooting for me.. and given the
opportunity I'd gladly eat a loaf of da bread (tm) to help nail that
record shut also.. <G>..
If we down here in Oz ever figure out how to get da Bread past our
customs, our Jim may have to give up the sauce business and take up
baking full time..

more I use Windows the more I realise one really needs hard copy.
