Back in the workshop Randy’s pulling apart the old GLOC (Global League of Competitive Consumption) template from VMC II to make new t-shirts. They are special and you can’t see them yet. But you can see these pictures of Randy in his Swiss baker boy outfit.

On Tuesday, March 20th, 2007 LVHRD hosted the second annual Vending Machine Challenge with Dewar’s, a competition in which teams of 3 from rival organizations eat the contents of a vending machine as quickly as possible. In Bout 1, Team AM New York ate against The Onion. In Bout 2, Richard Nouveau and his team from Pocket Change challenged the Museum of Modern Art. The athletes were fierce, and they were hungry. Reputations were both made and shattered. It was a glorious night.

Onion News Network Live

As we reported earlier, The Onion has been gearing up to launch The Onion News Network. We can now announce with a warm feeling in our chest, not solely due to the arrival of spring, that ONN is live.

We’re sure you’re as excited as we are that The Onion’s pertinent content will now be available each week from an anchor reporting from the ONN videodome. As if it could be any better, iTunes will soon be offering ONN as a video podcast.

The Onion was a fierce competitor at LVHRD’s Master-Disaster VMC II. Look…

VMC II Unwrapped: O the thrill of it all

Wdnsdy Mar.21.2007 5:04pm | by lvhrd

It was a packed house for the second annual Master-Disaster Vending Machine Challenge — bright lights and a clean floor ready for an upset. Held in NYC’s Tribeca neighborhood, the evening was structured as 2 bouts, pitting The Onion against AM New York and Pocket Change against MoMA. Funny man Murray Hill served as host and commentator, reigning in a rambunctious crowd for a good clean fight.

In the Battle of the Free Papers Team Onion, 445 pounds strapped in suspenders, was the early crowd favorite. Team AM New York, dressed in tank tops…

LVHRD’S Vending Machine Challenge II

Wdnsdy Mar.21.2007 9:51am | by lvhrd

Hundreds of revelers packed the Lafayette Grill in Tribeca for LVHRD’s second annual Master-Disaster Vending Machine Challenge, a junk food competitive eating competition where teams from The Onion, AM New York, Pocket Change and MoMA raced to devour the contents of entire vending machine.

THROW DOWN

In Round 1, the Battle of the Free Papers, Team Onion, 445 pounds strapped in suspenders went head to head with Team AM New York. Speed can be treacherous in competive eating, a truth AMNY learned all too well when one of these newsies bowed down to…

Last minute strategy for VMC II

Tsdy Mar.20.2007 11:59am | by lvhrd

We’re sure each of the four teams competing tonight at VMC II have their own training and consumption methods. But allow us to illuminate a tactic that may help those about to compete tonight solidify their final strategies.

In July of 2002 Kobayashi stunned the crowd by splitting his hot dogs and buns in half and feeding them down his throat side by side. Fans called this “The Solomon Method,” after King Solomon from the time of plagues and vengeful gods, and it gave Kobayashi the unprecedented advantage of processing food like a conveyor…

Mel Monga will never be full

Tsdy Mar.20.2007 10:02am | by lvhrd

Mel Monga is not Japanese. He has never been to Japan. He does not go by a pseudonymous middle name. He cannot pronounce Kobayashi or Hokkaido. If you are Japanese Mel might eat your fingers. Or the ground from under your feet. Mel Monga is the former world champion of competitive eating and millionaires do not intimidate him. As a favor to long time friends at LVHRD Mel agreed to a rare interview in the wee hours before VMC II. We tracked him down at the GLOCC (Global League of Competitive Consumption) training…

Multimillionaire sallies forth to martyr himself at VMC II

Mndy Mar.19.2007 2:51pm | by lvhrd

Tomorrow night the sucrose sweat will flow at LVHRDâ€™s VMC II. Nearing the eleventh hour, team MoMA has found a challenger in Pocket Change, the weekly newsletter which details the most expensive goods and services found in New York.

Headed by Richard Nouveau, â€œthis centuryâ€™s prominent urban raconteur,â€ the gormandizers from Pocket change will have to step down from their pedestal for the evening and ingest the contents of an entire plebeian vending machine. Mr. Nouveau’s representatives, however, have assured LVHRD that while Pocket Change looks forwards to thoroughly trouncing MOMA,…
