So the crazy
workout and running routine starts up again in the new
year and I thought I'd go out with a bang.
McDonalds is advertising the 40 piece McNuggets for
$8.99 - you know where this is heading: CONTEST!!!!
And thankfully, I have someone stupid enough to
do it with me. Paddy actually turned me down. LOL. The
rest is JOURNEY HISTORY:
I'm gonna talk
down here for a bit so I don't give away the
ending to people watching it on the
site...
So a couple
things:
1) How stupid
was I changing it to 50? I could speedily eat
40... then I was screwed. The thing is though?
If we had done, say, how many can you EAT in 30
minutes? Oh, I would've gotten to 60 or 70
easy. I can go forever, however the SPEED was
making me nauseous after 40. I wanted to keep
going and the faster I went, the more
I thought I was gonna yarf... so
I straight up lost and I got no one to
blame for myself on that. Total nod to Jimmy for
his steady pace and perfect timing. Well played,
sir. We shall meet again...
2) The video
originally had the Indiana Jones music like the
drinking contest (which is why I'm wearing the hat)
but since I uploaded it in 2012 instead of 2010? It
was taken down. Fucking Warner Music bullshit
AGAIN. This has to be the most nearsighted
publishing company ever. Welcome to the 21st
Century you dumbasses. You WANT your musical in
VIRAL VIDEO HITS. Because the maker can't
make a DIME off it, and you can put your ads
ALL OVER THE VIDEO and
SELL TONS OF DOWNLOADS. So
incredibly stupid I can't even believe it.
They are throwing away money and they're the only
company doin' it. <face palm> I like my dad's
song, of course, but the Indy Music is a theme for
stupid contests. Throw an ad on there, get some
downloads. I mean, you have people
CREATING ADS for you and you block it? What?
Stupid. Just stupid. The other companies are
laughing their asses of.
3) It is odd
that both of us really had no problem knockin' out
50 nuggets isn't it? I mean, I was at
THIRTY GODDAMN CHICKEN NUGGETS and
it wasn't the least bit uncomfortable. Jimmy's a
few months removed from college, so I guess
I kind of get it... but this is an innordinate
amount of food. I'm kinda impressed at how well we
both did and how close it ended up being.
4) The drunk
video is far more entertaining, because, well, we
were drunk. Need I remind you...
Far more
dangerous however, and I am glad I'm actually here
to even write about it. Some bad shit happened
after that. Ugh.
5) Yes,
I know what's in a NUGGET. It's poison the
same way alcohol is. <shrugs> Welcome to
earth, where there are dietary choices that can
kill you. Make them sparingly and stop stressing
about it. I have been so much happier since
I accepted this. When I need to bear down
and get fit, I can do it... and I have no
problem taking a couple weeks in December and
having fun. Just gives me incentive and something
to shoot for when I'm running. I will never be able
to avoid junk food forever. I just won't. Not
as long as I live in this country. It's not
even worth trying. Every now and then it's fun to
have. Granted, FIFTY is a bit much, but accepting
cheat weeks (or the entirety of December - lol) is
part of the joy that is life in the 21st Century.
Love it... but get your ass movin' in January.
:-)
So congrats again
to Jimbo (woah, CD101 flashback), I'm not sure what
the next "challenge" will be but it's good to
know I have a partner in crime. You are a worthy
competitor at being stupid and this was a fun video to
put together.
