Russian pops сабоs in pancake-eating contest
A Russian man participating in a pancake-eating contest found out the hard way that it's probably not a good idea to stuff your face with 43 banana and cream-packed delicacies - dropping dead as he claimed the prize for his gut-busting gluttony.

Sky News splendidly concludes: "Celebrations are said to have continued after Mr Isayev's body was taken away in an ambulance."
Now THAT'S how to celebrate a wake!
Poor/stupid chap
Paris, because she knows when she's had too much batter... Allegedly!

Sounds like the movie... that was Hungarian IIRC, but same difference seen from over 'ere...
Can't blame a lad for trying....

Come hungry. Leave happy.(R)
Somehow, I don't think this what IHOP had in mind when it came up with the slogan.

OMFG my old dear was right!! If I keep scoffing like that I WILL burst!
Pity
I feel sorry for the guy, but not as sorry as I feel for the poor souls that clean the restrooms at such events.
What a tosser
Mine's the one with the lemons in the pockets

The only heavy one around here is the pancake scoffer.
How'd he die again?
Did he choke or did his gut go boom? If the former, it's just a reminder to CHEW YOUR GODDAMN FOOD FATTY! If the latter, a similar fate was covered on a show over here recently. "Gorgeous Gorge" was merely a bulimic model, however, and merely failed to purge in time.
