Oh, the burn! The burn!

Everyone has a hobby. Some are common...some are not. Like this one:

Man eats 247 jalapenos to win contest

DALLAS - A 62-year-old retired accountant from Nevada swallowed 247 peppers in eight minutes to win the Jalapeno Eating World Championship at the State Fair of Texas.

Dr. Daniel DeMarco, a gastroenterologist and director of endoscopy at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas, said the amount of jalapenos consumed in an eating contest is more harmful than the burn.

"It's really pretty stupid," DeMarco said. "Like any sort of abuse of your body, it doesn't make any sense."

I appreciate hearing from the doctor at Baylor who thinks filling your piehole with 250 hot peppers isn't a wise decision, but I'm curious to hear what the proctologist thinks about it. Because you just know this dude is shooting flames this morning.

I know, I know. Gross, ain't it? Enjoy your breakfast.

Just don't put any peppers on your Corn Flakes, if you know what's good for you.
