And they're off!

Powering through their second doughnuts
Date: 07/04/2003
Three doesn't seem so tough..
Date: 07/04/2003
These guys mean business

A close-up of Phil's technique

If you have no saliva, water will have to do

Steve doesn't look so excited anymore
Date: 07/04/2003
Starting their fifth doughnuts...

Working on the fifth doughnuts

Phil discovers taking one's shoes off helps. Steve quickly follows suit.
Date: 07/04/2003
Is that steely resolve in Steve's eyes? Or is he just suppressing the gag reflex?
Date: 07/04/2003
Contemplating the last doughnuts
Date: 07/04/2003
In a sporting fashion, Phil picks up a piece of glaze that had fallen off his doughnut
Date: 07/04/2003
Three more to go, guys!
Date: 07/04/2003
Still looks like there are three left
Date: 07/04/2003
Still three doughnuts left...
Date: 07/04/2003
Phil and Steve consider stopping after six...
Date: 07/04/2003
After much taunting, our competitors launch into doughnut #7!
Date: 07/04/2003
These doughnuts don't taste as good anymore...
Date: 07/04/2003
Slow progress
Date: 07/04/2003
That leg in the foreground belongs to Chris, who has been taunting them the entire time
Date: 07/04/2003
Notice the conveniently placed cans for booting
Date: 07/04/2003
There are still two more doughnuts after this one!
Date: 07/04/2003
Chris! You're out of your element!
Date: 07/04/2003
Still on the seventh doughnut
Date: 07/04/2003
Chris' taunting does not amuse
Date: 07/04/2003
Do you feel what I feel?
Date: 07/04/2003
Almost there...
Date: 07/04/2003
I think they're hitting "The Wall"
Date: 07/04/2003
Still on the seventh doughnut

Each bite is taking longer and longer - Zeno's paradox in action
Date: 07/04/2003
Phil downs seven, too!
Date: 07/04/2003
"Go for eight!"
Date: 07/04/2003
Water helps keep the doughnuts down
Date: 07/04/2003
That's it. They call it quits at seven.
Date: 07/04/2003
Chris moves in on the leftovers
Date: 07/04/2003
Chris thinks the doughnuts are tasty

Steve recovering
Date: 07/04/2003
Phil recovering
Date: 07/04/2003
Steve and Phil can't move
Date: 07/04/2003
Chris is content with his two doughnuts
Date: 07/04/2003
What have we wrought?
Date: 07/04/2003
The survivors (and my breakfast, the next morning)
