About Me

MySpace Comments MySpace Editor MySpace Icons Contact MySpace Table MySpace Layouts Somehow, I am the world's 37th ranked competitive eater. Surely, you've read or own a copy of my quasi-famous "You Know You're A College Student When..." humor book, found once in awhile on Ebay used books auctions. Somehow, I've also met numerous celebrities, historical figures, and answers to trivia question "where are they now" types. I am one of those folks that people think will hit it rich because I'm strange enough to being a collector's item, or something like that!! My over-riding goal is to get on "Survivor". 14 TIMES I've tried, BUT so far, NOTHING!!! I know I can win the grub-rat-worm-cow stomach eating contest, unless Kobayashi, or any other ranked eater shows up. OK, I'll settle for "Deal or No Deal", or I'm ready for "American Old Off-Key Idol". "The Amazing Race" would be cool, too, except I'm afraid my wife and I would argue our way around the world, and who wants to be famous for being a grouch?? (no offense, Oscar) My new passion is running. It better be my passion, because every day I miss, I start again weight back faster than I can run, or eat in a contest!! I'm always hungry now, for food...and money!! Visit my website, and be amazed,thrilled, and hungered beyond belief at all the eaters, celebrities, and scared cheerleaders I've met, and bothered!! www.tropicmon.com

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I need to "add" a Beatle, and some others to my take-a-picture-with-them collection. They are, in no special order, Tom Hanks (my wife's favorite actor), Bill Gates, David Bowie, Kelly Ripa, Neil Armstrong, Amy Adams, Robert DeNiro, Nicole Kidman, Oscar Gamble, Heidi Klum, The cast from The Office, Priscilla Barnes, John Cleese, Bill Murray, Cheryl Tiegs, and Rupert (my kids favorite Survivor). Yao-Man is my newest must meet Survivor, he's probably the coolest old fart to be the show, until I make it!! On my website I have posted some of the stars of all magnitudes that I have met. Many of them still have nightmares from that fateful moment!! www.tropicmon.com

Guitar Hero Torture

My son borrowed "Guitar Hero" from a friend.  I was excited he was playing a game where no one gets killed.  It was also cool that he was listening to songs I liked, for once.      After playing it a ...

BAROCK THE VOTE!

Now for my worthless two cents about the Presidential race:  I want Barack Obama to be our next president.  Why?  McCain is 72 years old, and a blustering old man. No doubt, he's a war...
