PS: how do you determine "fast enough", these are starting to sound like subjective-to-Micah's-own-opinion rules.

I'm in. Although, it may take me some time to warm up to rule #11.

I am the 12 year old daughter of the StickerGiant himself and I will beat all of you. I love sushi and can win this one hands down. Oh and I am the best podcaster ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz7zpE4U6VY

@izzy well, we all know you can beat your dad. He cant handle the sushi! And you are quite the podcaster. Love the music too.

@kevin - practice now. Its not hard. Find a picture of me. Gaze at it longingly.
@devin - did you need a specific invite? I assumed you always showed up where you could pick up a free beat down. ;)
Basically, the thought is that a couple of minutes between pieces is enough. We will have a ref that will warn, then disqualify folks if they eat too slow. Cool?

You've gotta set another ground rule: You can't order Tamago. That's just cheating.
In fact, perhaps you should create a "Cannot order" list, just in case there are nefarious souls out there who might sneakily purchase the smallest-sized pieces in order to have less edible volume.
Great contest!
Perhaps you would be interested in a wasabi eating contest as an encore?

Konnichiha, my skinny brethren.
How do you say in Japanese:
- "thank you sir, may I have another?"
- "Micah, surely that's not all that you can eat? You're not really done already?"
- "What's the URL for that belly tumblog?"
- "I could eat at least 5 more if only I had a decent comment system with which to boast about it"
and finally,
"Get me a bucket!"
In closing, Banzai!

Oh man, I am going to embarrass you all, and myself in the process. I have never actually gotten full after a sushi meal, even an all you can eat venue.
Pieces of sushi capacity estimate: 50 pieces, minimum. Count me in.

This is gonna be boys against men! I learnt my sushi chomping skills from an original japanese master at a 5am breakfast in the depths of Tokyo's Fish Market, where the fatty tuna was still wriggling between my chopsticks... http://flickr.com/photos/tobiaspeggs/sets/72157... Bring it on! (lol ;-)

I have seen Tobias put down some major sushi. Us Me.dium folks are going to be a force to be reckoned with. By the time we're done, those dudes in the sidebar are going to micahvomitsandloses.com

For all you talkers. Practice up. You will all end up crying in your mommy's apron strings and calling me daddy.
Yes, I went there.

I'm in and I will not back out. I'll eat until I win or vomit, and if I vomit I'm taking Micah out in the act. Let's see him eat sushi after that.

@Michael - you clearly dont know how much I love to win.
@Izzy - you guys should make the theme music for the sushi eating contest.

I'm totally in...but as everyone who has ever eaten with me knows, #7 is going to be difficult for me...its difficult for me during a normal meal, let alone a contest.

@tom - I could eat 5 more waiting for the comment system to load. Woah! Did I say that out loud? Yes I did.
Bring it children. Bring it.
