2011 Sonya Thomas wins Wing Eating Championship

So there are many things that go on at The National Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival.... I like the food and entertainment one of those eating things you kinda gotta see in person... That being said I wonder how the view differs for the pro shooters of it.... I admit there will be a ton of pictures some of them are the entertainment before it starts... Eric "Bad Lands" Booker is the huge Rapper who also eats......

So here is what I need to say:
-Guy with the Hat Is George Shea Yes he is the MC and I think he is funny but he also runs pretty much the entire eating league
-From what I understand each tray is weighed before (it is supposed to be 10 pounds) when you want a new tray you call for it... Any food on the floor goes back into the tray... they weigh them after and that tells them (with math) how many pounds was eaten... person with the highest weight wins....
-Now my pictures would be better but had some battery issues at the end of the contest...
-In front of the stage you have a small stage for the media aka the people who are press or have press passes..So after "Bad lands " got his medal he steps down onto that... So we clear out a space... Now as much as I would love to support half his weight don't know if I could and some one else kinda wider not sure whom did it....

> With the Sonya "The Black widow" Thomas win she comes down and gets on his shoulders and he parades her around it was awesome... If there is video someplace or pictures I must be in them I assume but haven't seen it....

So with all that said back to the pictures.......

Well hope you enjoyed the next post I think will be of the Miss Buffalo contest again a bunch of pictures there as well

Sat. Sept 3 2011 Buffet Bowl and more

So I forget what makes up the entire Buffet bowl it is like around 5 pounds of food I think Chicken Fingers, Pizza, Beef on weck, Rosina Meat balls...... It is first two to finish everything then I think for 3rd on they do what ever is left minus what it was weighed in at the start.....

Yes the guy in the sun glasses is Andre Reed!

Think that pretty much covers Day 1 hope it was enough with out being to much..... and hope it conveys what it was...

metalpeter writes at 06:16:17 09/06/11 - Comment #64860: This is an event she is in but last year she came in 2nd as well... She is more known for being the Chicken Wing Champion... I know it made national news so that is my next post..... But this year like either last year I think later on in the day I saw her walking around posing with people and she had a bag of kettle Corn that they sell there the time before I just saw her in line for it.....

tinypliny writes at 08:32:00 09/05/11 - Comment #64842: She is more famous for something else? What is that? A kettle corn eating contest?? really?

metalpeter writes at 08:09:40 09/05/11 - Comment #64840: Not to mention I haven't posted them yet hoping for Tuesday but she won the Next event that she is more famous for on Sunday also though after this event I saw her (wish I got a pix) of her with a bag of Kettle corn.....

metalpeter writes at 08:08:34 09/05/11 - Comment #64839: Not sure but I doubt she starved for a one big reason..... Again I don't know how she trains I've heard of people eating all the lettuce they can cause it stretches the stomach... Heard of someone else who trained with milk a got up to being able to keep down a gallon..... One persons Stomach is deformed a bit naturally so his stomach sits a bit off and that allows for more food... What happens with most people is if you starve your self you wind up eating less...Your body needs the food so bad that once you get it shuts you down and makes you hungry it is also very dangerous... There are stories of Soldiers who have found hungry starving kids who where hiding out or didn't have food (Jews in Germany) they to help them out give them Chocolate but it is to much for the body to handle and so they die....

tinypliny writes at 07:22:01 09/05/11 - Comment #64837: She must have starved the entire week for this.

metalpeter writes at 02:20:26 09/05/11 - Comment #64829: Well in this one she came in 2nd I'll follow the link in a second... "Reversal of Fortunes" are illegal and you and DQ'd I think up to 20 minutes after contest... Now I don't know the science but I think the trick is to eat quicker then your system can handle... What I mean by this is ever had a big dinner and when you eat you don't feel full but 10 minutes later you can't move and feel sick.... Just my guess is that you learn to put your body in that mode and then learn how to fight through if you feel full....

I think this pic says it all: :::link:::

National Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival or what ever you call it 1

So 1st of all for those of you at Drew's & Janelle's hope it is a great time I'm here posting pictures instead.... If I knew where the place was exactly I would have made plans to go... The reason I don't know where it is.... Well If I would have helped them Move (like I should have) then I would know.... Well I assume some (e:peeps) went.... In any event Posting pictures from the festival is kinda tough to decide how to do it... Do I want to post all the pictures from an event or just do like the overview? I think for Sat. Sept. 3rd 2011 I'm going with the overview... Who knows maybe at some point I'll do a slideshow but those seem to take so long on youtube.....

Oh wait gotta Explain the 2nd Picture... There was the free stress test (sciencetology) and then there is one of those "Protesters" now not sure if they where just in the same area or if he was protesting the other guys?

There was a cake competition I guess the dude in is a Raven's fan and has a band is from a show called Cake boss....

The bobbing for wings was crazy was close but had a bad spot for pictures....

The Winner here moves onto the pros on Sunday......

Now the Next thing right after that will be the Next Post the Buffet Bowl.....

After Chicken Wings Sat.

If you where there and like your picture it is yours....

Just thought of the shot I should have tried Cake vodka with the infused whip cream on top oh well....

tinypliny writes at 08:51:12 09/06/11 - Comment #64863: You should bring that up with the city council. It's a good idea for a city that is half-heartedly trying to go green.

metalpeter writes at 06:29:43 09/06/11 - Comment #64862: I have seen signs that say curb your dog? granted no one wants shit on the sidewalk or on grass where they will sit or walk.... Yes if you can prove someone let their dog shit on your lawn you can get them fined (think you also have to prove they didn't pick it up).... Now here is my question everyone wants to be green and be good for the earth and and that hip and cool shit why do they put shit in a plastic bag and toss it out? Perfectly good shit and now you can't recycle that bag... Why is there no (oh cause it isn't hip and cool and part of the green movement bullshit we see peddled sometimes that isn't really true) movement to use dog shit to help out lawns or to add to compost heaps... They make machines where you can compost in your kitchen with food scrapes ... Urban Farming is trying to get hip why not let the dogs take a dump there or have special places for it?

metalpeter writes at 06:21:59 09/06/11 - Comment #64861: That would be an interesting study.... I'm guessing about the same really.... The tough part would be in the fact that even though for a dog you are supposed to register it most don't but that would be a place to start and cats who does that... But if you could some how get records (not sure if they are public or not from SPCA and shelters and pet places ) of addresses you could kinda get an idea..... Cats indoors fine but you have a dog you really should have a yard .... That brings up a point in a new comment...

tinypliny writes at 08:33:56 09/05/11 - Comment #64843: Yeah, so many people who live in and around Elmwood seem to have dogs and cats. I wonder how the pet/household rate in the city compares to say, suburbs such as Williamsville and Orchard Park.

metalpeter writes at 08:11:49 09/05/11 - Comment #64841: Well I think the people before them had pets maybe even a bunny and I think there was a fan with bunny dander that didn't get brought out cause of Paul.... That being said though wonder how heat effects that....

tinypliny writes at 07:18:44 09/05/11 - Comment #64835: I think once the bunny moves in the place will be on the banned list for (e:Paul). I thought I saw him having a few allergy problems even on Saturday.

metalpeter writes at 02:42:55 09/05/11 - Comment #64832: Speaking of pets.... I remember you posted about how there is this thing of shots you can take so cats wouldn't bother you....not saying you should look back into it but I wonder if it works for other pets with fur like bunnies or would each animal be a separate thing of shots.... I mention this cause someone talked about how once the bunny moves in they don't think you'd really be able to visit much?

metalpeter writes at 02:41:03 09/05/11 - Comment #64831: Would have been cool to get some epic pix... Started out slow felt a little off plus it is odd when so many people where part of the mike crowd I just me pictures wise... by the way infused whip cream was great and great to see everyone.... That place feels so strange like been there before but I think maybe the last place he lived had the same kitchen and then side back rooms with a Rabit room so maybe that is why...

paul writes at 01:59:39 09/05/11 - Comment #64826: I am glad you got pics of the party. I barely have any for some reason.

2011 Zombie Walk for Charity

Saturday had a lot of fun at the zombie walk it is hard to explain there where families there and it was pretty cool... For Zombies I think there were awards and all the money or food you could give I think went to the Food bank.....

Now What I did was I paid so I could get in and get in at the night time show even though I didn't think I would make that... Then after People passed me by I tried to get ahead of them... Down by Allen there was some guy who gave these girls a book.... One of the zombies jumped out in front of a non moving bus and took pictures it was really cool.....

Tried to drop a Video in but AVI format isn't allowed oh well

Hey I know I had a great time looks like the walkers had a good time also....

Elmwood Festival of the Arts

So On Saturday I went to The Elmwood Festival of the Arts... It was a good time... Then after that it was off to the zombie walk then back to see The Skiffle Minstrels and eat Lloyds... Then Over to Roxy's great time watching Burlesque... On my way home ran into (e:Yesthatcasey) and continued with a short debate on "Taco Trucks"... With out starting the entire debate over My issue is this I think Food Trucks should have freedom to pretty much go where they want... But somehow there should be a system not sure what that would be that if there is a trouble causing truck that it can be dealt with quickly cops shouldn't be pulling them over and siting them.... Maybe cops should be able to park the cares and count number of passes and go ok there... That isn't the point though the point was that it was nice to see him... Wish I could have stayed at Roxy's longer but my spine or was it my neck was sore... End of a long day and rocked out pretty good Friday night... One thing is I wish Roxy's shots where like real sized shot glasses but maybe those are double shots... The Light stuff Hypnotic was tasty stuff gotta find out how much that is for a bottle... The other thing is I had no idea how much alcohol it had and even though I wasn't feeling it didn't want to chance it......

Pictures of Zombies later maybe Tuesday for Now Elmwood festival of the arts....And Skiffling.....

Gotta talk about Lyods for a second that Crazy corn was so good it really was.... Yes I ate the seasonings that fell off oh so tasty.... Now I got a Taco and a Burrito one was braised Beef and the other was Chicken... Now I bit into the taco and was shocked by the taste then It dawned on me most places around here when you get a soft taco they don't use Corn shells they use flour and leave it open or what ever they do.. So props to Lloyds on that.....

Klear, Anvil and Alice Cooper

So I'm going to post pictures in a different way then over on facebook Currently over there it is Zombie Walk pictures... I have had a great time all weekend and ran into @Yesitisthatchris (that might be right) out side of Roxy's the Burlesque recital was a lot of fun and I tried a new drink as shots that was so tasty Hynotic not sure how they spell it but it was light blue but since these ladies aren't doing this as there thing yet no pictures and it was nice to not be burdened with that..... Oh yeah tiny 4$ shots but they sure where tasty.....

Next up was Anvil who I know none of there music but they Rocked it pretty hard and Heavy.....

So I changed my Mind and Decided just from Picture Numbers and since he is the main act that I want to upload ever single Alice Cooper Picture so he gets his own album...

2011 Part 3 Fair

It is amazing how much stuff there is to do at the fair with the shows and food and all that kind of stuff.... I only took a quick glance at the 911 memorial stuff cause when I saw it I new I didn't have time to read it all like a wanted to since a show was coming up.... Peeking Acrobats.... If you are Reading this (e:tinypliny) look them up they are pretty amazing with some of the stuff they do.... If I get to those pictures in this post it doesn't do them Justice.... The girls spin things on their feet and then pass them through the air......

I didn't know I didn't see all of the Creative Arts building those gingerbread houses where pretty cool.... They always have great things there.....

Yes I got a DVD and they singed it... It is tough to explain you just kinda gotta see them and see how the do the balancing thing and jump through the hoops and that kind of thing ok think this is a good place to cut it....
