I feel like you should win by default if you die during an eating contest. Like, you other people may have eaten more, but nobody's eating harder than you.

Maybe people are just better at eating harder. You come in with your weak constitution and under-trained eating skills only to get wrecked by people who were born to the life rather than the moths that are drawn to flame that is the glory of becoming an eating champion.

Here is how Australia deals with its heads of state. Which probably qualifies itself as weird enough news to go in the thread sans context.

quote:

Insiders host Barrie Cassidy has given further insight into why Mr Hawke was so popular by sharing a recent story about the former PM.

Mr Cassidy worked as the PM’s press secretary between 1986 and 1991 and formed a close relationship with Mr Hawke during that time.

During an interview with Breakfast News, he shared a hilarious story about a recent experience he had with Mr Hawke.

The pair were in Melbourne for the Australian American Leadership Dialogue, which brings together leaders from different sectors from both countries to improve the Australian-American bilateral relationship.

“We took the Americans along to the MCG. There were Congressmen there, a whole bunch of senior Americans,” Mr Cassidy said.

“On the way out, we’re walking through the car park and they had the buses lined up to take everybody back to the Hyatt Hotel.

“And (Mr Hawke) said to me, ‘Oh I hate these buses, you know? You sit there and you’ve got to wait for the last person to turn up and it takes forever’.”

As they were waiting with the American officials to board the bus, a group of young men in a car pulled up and yelled out to the former prime minister.

“(They) yelled out ‘Hey Hawkey! You’re a legend’,” the Insiders host said.

“And he said, ‘If I’m such a freakin’ legend give me a lift back to the pub’.”

The young men agreed and Mr Hawke got into their car and they drove off, leaving the American officials in shock.

“They said ‘This cannot be happening’,” Mr Cassidy said.

“They couldn’t believe that a former prime minister would do that.”

When Mr Cassidy spoke to him the following day, Mr Hawke told him they were “great blokes”.

He even spoke to their mums on the phone while they drove to the pub.

“So the common touch thing was real. That’s how he operated,” Mr Cassidy said.

Mr Hawke died aged 89 in his Sydney home.

So staff can shower if they cycle or run into work, having one between shifts to freshen up or after before going out. Lots of reasons they could have one. It would be nice if more places of work had one.

I read the article and it’s a little creepy. Apparently he was already a sex offender and the cops sent him a Facebook friend request as the 14 year old girl. This means either the cops are sending friend requests on fake profiles to random people to see what crimes they commit, or they’re trying to bait sex offenders into reoffending.

I'm not super strong on cops baiting people but if you can be baited into wanting to walk 351 miles to gently caress a child then maybe the cops didn't gently caress this one up.

First line in article just in case the headline doesn't give it away.

Warning: This article discusses sexual assault and violence, and includes a description of an indecent assault.

I was indecently assaulted by a man at Myer. As an 'alpha male' I've struggled with guilt and shame

Not quite sure if this qualifies as a weird headline but it's definitely odd.
