There were at least 80 of us in the audience night, and we watched breathlessly as he shovelled spoonful upon heaping spoonful into his gaping maw. His flannel-covered arm was slow and cautious at first, but it soon became mechanical, rythmic, hypnotic. The Matterhorn of scrapple before him disappeared in an instant. Gaping-eyed contest coordinators rushed mounds more of the gristled globs to his feeding trough, only to have it vanish before this insatiable beast. <BR/><BR/>Karl made every spectator there that night proud to be Pennsylvania Dutch. Proud to be American. Proud to be alive. What a heroic performance. What a goddamned magnificent man. <BR/><BR/>I was there and I had the honor of crowning him champion. <BR/><BR/>-- Harriet Hotzclaw, 1982 Fleck County Scrapple QueenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
