First-timer wins Wing Bowl championship
Jan. 30, 2009
PHILADELPHIA, PA - Jonathan Squibb, a skinny 23-year-old from Winslow Township, N.J., is the new Wing Bowl champion.
Super Squibb, as he is known, tore through 203 wings - 23 more than second place finisher Not Rich and 50 more than third place eaters Hank the Tank and Da Disposal - while chomping his way to glory and a brand new Mini Cooper automobile.
Going into the competition, the Rutgers University and Winslow Township High School graduate was ranked with 9 to 1 odds by 610 WIP talker Al Morganti, who created Wing Bowl at the sports talk station 17 years ago as a diversion for sports fans mired in a pro sports championship drought.
“Nobody believed in me but my family, but I knew I could do it,” said Squibb, who is “in career transition.”
He planned to celebrate tonight with family and friends. What was his secret?
“It’s more up here than down here,” he explained, pointing first to his brain, then his stomach.
Squibb said he will return to defend his crown next year at Wing Bowl 18, which could feature the return of three-time Wing Bowl champion Joey Chestnut, a professional eater who lives in San Jose, California. He won Wing Bowl in 2006, 2007 and 2008, when the event was open to professional eaters. This year's wing-off was open to amateurs only, as organizers wanted to restore a local flair to the event, held again at the Wachovia Center.
A few familiar faces were spotted at the event.
New Orleans Saints lineman Jahri Evans chose the Wing Bowl over the Super Bowl. The football player, born at Frankford Hospital in Northeast Philadelphia, attended in an old-school Phillies jacket and cap.
Pennsylvania State Supreme Court Justice Seamus McCaffery made the event a little more honorable. His Honor, a huge fan of Wing Bowl, represented the Super Bowl-bound Steelers with a black-and-gold Steelers sweatshirt.
"I'm still an Eagles fan," McCaffery said, adding that he makes sure to serve the whole state.
Toastee from VH1's "Flavor of Love 2" and "I Love Money" watched the action as well. Toastee, aka Jennifer Toof, who hails from the Philadelphia suburbs, was as a Wingette for the odds-on favorite, 504-pounder "Damaging Doug" Canavin. Wingettes are the young women who make up each eater's contingent of supporters.
In the field of competitors were Glutieus Waximus, Obi Wing, Da Disposal, Frank De Fraud and Hank the Tank.

1) The idea of introducing UNIFORMS in a fucking call center is ludicrous, I simply highlighted this with my usual vim and vigour.This first and final warning has been prepared as a result of several incidents that have taken place at <insert employer here>.
Issues discussed:
1 - Unprofessional conduct whilst in a meeting with <boss 1> and <boss 2> on <yesterday>. During this meeting Nick was aggressive and offensive to his employer.
2 - Inappropriate language and threatening comments entered on supervisor feedback report
3 - Disruptive and negative comments made about our clients on <yesterday> When Client Services Manger was advising of new instructions to the service. The comment was "Good, I'm glad he's gone, he was a bastard anyway"
4 - Negative comments made about another client on <yesterday> when <boss 1> was trying to highlight the importance of this client.
5 - General complaints from other staff members.
6 - Suicidal comments made to managements in the operations room, ie: "I would rather slit my wrists than be here".
7 - General lateness on several occasions
The unprofessional and disruptive behavour will no longer be tolerated at <place of employment>. This is unacceptable behavior in the workplace.
2) I Threatened to quit if he didn't fix the rosters leaving us understaffed and me doing all the work
3) The guy WAS a bastard (and I actually said 'prick')
4) This new client is going to make life even harder, and I was kind of appalled when he said it's more important than our sudden infant death grief counseling service.
5) I've yet to see proof. I'm loved.
6) Everyone wants to kill themselves at work. I just got overheard by the boss.
7) Utter bullshit.
They don't like me because I'm constantly telling them they're underpaying and overworking (which they know, but refuse to do anything about). That, and I'm quite sweary a lot of the time

We don't get seen by anybody. It's a call center.
I'm on a flat rate he knows is illegal but will not change. I worked Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Eve, New Years Day and Australia day. $20 flat.
The small business owner is a vicious and mercurial whore-beast. Troubling times.
