Heavy Metal

My good friend Kerry Woo, better known as Wonderdawg, blogged these days about Chinese New Years. Where I live, we don't have many Chinese people and the Chinese food is pretty terrible but it has to be better than this

This guy is celebrating the new year by ripping a pan lid in half with his teeth. His teeth don't look that good to begin with so I can only imagine what they look like now.


As I saw this picture I was whisked back in time to one of my most glorious moments when I appeared on The Ralph Emery Show performing as "The Human Can Opener" during a stupid human tricks contest. I made my family proud as I bit an empty Dr. Pepper can in half on the air. Dan McDaniels was left speechless.

I didn't win anything but for several days afterward I was recognized on the street. It was my true 15 minutes of fame.

I gave up biting cans in half a few years ago, though occasionally I do it just to prove to someone that I can. After seeing this photo I realize that I am sadly a rank amateur in comparison to this guy.
