cool hand luke

Finally saw Cool Hand Luke and now understand this weird obsession with eating 50 eggs, devilled or otherwise. Okay, perhaps "understand" is too strong a term. But I've never been much of one for eating contests

you mean there is a reason for eating 50 eggs? I thought it was just some wierd Viajy/Judy thing.

Here's the dialog from the scene :)

Luke: I can eat fifty eggs.
Dragline: Nobody can eat fifty eggs.
Society Red: You just said he could eat anything.
Dragline: Did you ever eat fifty eggs?
Luke: Nobody ever eat fifty eggs.
Prisoner: Hey, Babalugats. We got a bet here.
Dragline: My boy says he can eat fifty eggs, he can eat fifty eggs.
Loudmouth Steve: Yeah, but in how long?
Luke: A hour.
Society Red: Well, I believe I'll take part of that wager.

ahaaa! it all makes sense now :-)

I, too, had just chalked it up to Vijay being bizarre and Judy being a fantastic cook!

Holy crap, there's an International Federation of Competitive Eating? The world is a beautiful, beautiful place.

I love that movie so damn much I could kiss it.

I am in some danger of kissing this woman. 65 eggs in 6 minutes 40 seconds? Yowza.

I find it hard to believe that this magnificent creature is single! My goodness!
