i fell bad laughing at that
But was it worth it?
how do you die from eating 10 dumplings
A dumpling every 3 seconds? It doesn't sound that difficult but the reward sounds like shit
I'm guessing he got all pumped up and excited and that his heart went out as a result
[QUOTE=NeoDement;32433870]But was it worth it?[/QUOTE]
Well, that prize was to die for... I don't blame him.
A jar full of sour cream was the grand prize?
whhat?
The dumplings sound more worth it than the prize

He was 77 years old and ate 10 dumplings in 30 seconds, give him some slack.

I guess it was a pretty shitty way to die, at the least.
Well at least he died a winner.
that's how I want to go
"often stuffed with a range of fillings from mushrooms to cherries."
I call poisonous mushroom
Reminds me of that chick who died of drinking too much water in order to win a WII.
Another hero taken before his time. :(
[QUOTE=JumpinJackFlash;32435379]Another hero taken before his time. :([/QUOTE]he was almost 80, his time was getting close anyway
He probably died pretty content.
Dumplings are very filling and he was old...
But I know how I want to die now.
Fuck dude this makes me hungry for dumplings.
he died as he lived
