Donette do this at home!

Last Thursday started off well enough. By noon, I had already taken two midterms and I was walking down the stairs by the USU patio when I saw my good friend Carrie Milligan getting ready to participate in a "Open You Mouth Against Abuse" doughnut eating contest. On the table next to her where 7 more 24-packs of Hostess minidoughnuts. It didn't take much persuading for Carrie to coerce me into joining the contest. In fact, there wasn't any need for skillful presuasion... free doughnuts was all that was needed!
Like I said, there were 24 doughnuts total in my bag. When the master of ceremonies gave us the ready... set.... go, my life turned into a blur. 19 doughnuts later I couldn't breath. The chocolatly goodness clogged my laryx preventing oxygen intake in my lungs. I wasn't the only dude stuggling. The guy to my right started to laugh becuase he hit the wall too. The only thing is, when you laugh with more than 10 doughnuts in your mouth, it sounds more like retching. I thought the poor sap was going to blow. This made the gag reflex in me start up. Albeit, I didn't ralph, but I sadly didn't take first.

The next day, my doughnut eating abilites made it onto the front page of the USU Statesman!!!! What an accomplishment! Check it out, I think this is the exact spot where I almost threw up. Can you see the vein protruding on my forehead?
I love doughnuts!
