Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-AP -- If you've got a strong stomach, this contest is for you.
Men from around the country will scarf down sheep's entrails tomorrow in a battle for the title of "haggis king."
The haggis eating contest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is part of the city's Celtic Classic Festival. The winner will be the first to finish one and a-half pounds of the Scottish dish. It's a mix of sheep's organs, oats and spices.
Tensions are high this year as two former champions prepare to go head-to-head. Steve Cunningham of Bethlehem and Peter Stefchak of Anchorage, Alaska, have both won twice and want to settle the tie.
Stefchak says he has a special training regimen, which includes starving himself for 24 hours before the contest.
As far as the haggis is concerned, he says, "It sounds awful, but it actually has a light liver taste."

if your going to be a savage, be a headhunter
return flight we talked to a young lady that was going to school in
Glasgow (I think). She was on her way home for a visit (US). Anyhow
the topic of haggis came up, and I told her that I didn't eat any of it, but I did have some blood pudding for breakfast the day we left (stopped at their version of a truck stop). She couldn't believe
it, and said blood pudding was worse than haggis. Found out blood
pudding is ox blood and oats, or oatmeal, in a patty, like sausage. Didn't taste bad at all.
Don't send flowers when I die. Send money now, I can buy more ammo.

Often the mind believes it is thinking, when it is only passing from one metaphor to the next.
