38 Lobsters!

Good Ole Kennebunkport Maine just got some national news and it wasnt because of the Bush family home. I'll also post a couple of Kennebunk pics I took when I lived there for a bit(over three years ago now, time does fly)
Here we have the world lobster eating champ!

KENNEBUNK, Maine - America's top speed-eater wolfed down 38 lobsters in 12 minutes Saturday to win the World Lobster Eating Contest.
Sonya Thomas, of Alexandria, Va., won $500 and a trophy belt for her efforts, consuming 9.76 pounds of lobster meat.
Each contestant had a partner cracking the shells and pulling out the meat. Eleven competitors ate as many lobsters as they could in a 12-minute period, devouring a total of 300 pounds.
The competition, only in its second year, sought to elevate Maine into the big leagues of competitive eating, alongside New York's Coney Island with its Nathan's Famous hot dogs and New Orleans with its oysters.


Speaking of Kennebunkport, here's three pics I took.











The Red Sox are on a bit of a winning streak. If this keeps up maybe they will finally beat the dreaded Yankees in the AL East.
