Wingbowl 2004 Several years ago my brother encouraged me to attend Philly's annual Wingbowl. "i'm telling ya' gene, it's spectacle, human spectacle," he would say one Wingbowl eve before puking in two separate BMW's but that's another story for his retirement dinner. Anyway, originally started by Al Morganti as an Eagles fans remedy for the fact they had absolutely nothing to do come the post-season, this humble eating contest's venue has risen from a hotel lobby to a nearly sold out sporting arena. It wasn't until last year that i decided to go, and my brother, as always, was right. Never have i felt better about being 35 and a struggling comic then when i see a fat bastard named Cookie Jarvis... (his real name is actually cracker Jarvis but it seemed politically incorrect) get a standing ovation for not vomiting or a man smash a dozen beer cans on his head in an attempt to shatter his previous record! Spectacle, Pete, human spectacle... |
