A 5 lb Burrito!


So, in keeping with Cinco De Mayo, our community thought it would be fun stepping out of our comfort zone and host Netwille’s 1st Annual 5 lb Burrito Eating Contest. A little restaurant called Taco del Wilmar thought, “hum . . . what a great way to get some extra business.” I don’t think they were counting on the size of the male specimen who would try and eat the burrito. Nor were they prepared for the droves of spectators. There were so many that Taco del Wilmar had to hold others at bay outside the restaurant. They still got all involved and were cheering those onto victory. Our contestant literally came rumbling into town. “Fee – Fii – Foo – Fum, I smell the fur of a Willow mun” He was the most gionic giant we had ever seen! He had arms of steel, and hopefully a stomach that was going to match! He introduced himself to everyone as Fuzzik Bergland. I wonder if he was of any relation to Fezzik from The Princess Bride? Our family got front row seats to the contest. And when I say front row, I mean on Fuzzik’s arm, his shoulder and also the table. It was a bit concerning watching Fuzzik pour Tabasco sauce on his burrito. I was troubled we might get it in our eyes!! We almost tossed our willow cookies watching him eat!! Well, actually Willamina did have some problems - - I guess they were like sympathy pains! Anyway she got very dizzy and almost passed out on the table! Fuzzik had 30 minutes to finish and the bottom line is since we weigh .001 oz and Fuzzik ate 5 lbs, he ate the equivalency of 80,000 willows!! That almost the entire population of willows!! There was some talk we should rename him Fuzzik Burpland as we pondered the need of rain gear just in case it started raining beans and rice!
