O.J.'s Random Acts continued ...
I've always found it amusing when I'm, say, in D.C., to remark, "My, my, I haven't brushed my teeth since I've been in Chicago!" or in Baltimore to say "Golllly! I haven't eaten since I've been all the way across the continent in San Francisco--I'm starved!" I guess this is because I'd never experienced such speedy means of travel until I was 16 and loving my first, and long-awaited, plane flight. Before that I'd only ever been outside California twice--to cross a little over the boarder of Nevada just to say I did. :) So, when my sister called me while on a recent lay over in Seattle and asked me if I wanted her to buy me anything I answered, "Ohhh, just a post card, I suppose." Then, thinking for a moment, I changed my mind, "No! How about buying me something to eat... Then, I can say, I ate fare that was in Seattle this very day when I'm allll the way down here in San Francisco!" Life is full of simple pleasures ... ;) Love it.

How's about this -
I ate part of a meal in Mexico, grabbed a couple extra helpings, ate the rest of the main meal in California, and finished the last of it in Pennsylvania. All in the same day! Or almost, since I got home after midnight and ate it then, so it FELT like the same day.
Ope! That's a surpasser. Good one! :D
Or this one: In the course of one day, I had breakfast in Chennai, tea in Bangkok, coffee in Taipei, lunch in Vancouver, then dinner in San Francisco. And all meals mentioned above occurred on dry land, not in airplanes. ;)
WOE, that's a good one, Jonathan-- I don't think I could EVER surpass that!
