I also got to hang with the Wizard for a bit. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Hey! That is a good thing.
Congratulations again on the royal! Where is that video of me at the D you're supposed to post a link to?
Congrats!
OK so here is the Wizard running UP the DOWN escalator at the D Casino in Downtown last Saturday night:

But in all honesty, if I had to choose between the two, my choice would not be wearing a Hawaiian shirt ! LOL

Yes! Loach dared me with $20 to do that. However, dare money is not to be hoarded, so I spent it on daring HB to do other stuff.

Could this be the next craze that bumps planking and eating goldfish
from the top spot ?
And YOU were there !

negative. the Escalator Spin
is the next craze involving escalators.
running up the down escalator was a craze in the seventies (for me anyway) :)
I will give $20 to anyone who attempts that successfully at the D at WoV Con or elsewhere and verifies it by video :)Quote: WongBonegative. the Escalator Spin

you will probably require a little practice to get it right.
be aware that the corners on escalator stairs are like a giant cheese grater should you fall,
and that security is not usually amused by escalator stunts.

There have been two incidents now. I wonder how the lawsuits are going...

You need a time limit. Even I could accomplish that challenge if you gave me a few days...
Seriously though, are the burgers any good? If they're not better than either Five Guys or In-N-Out, why bother?

No no no, you have to do it without touching the
hand rails. Much harder.
Quote: WizardHere is my offer. The challenger must eat a quadruple bypass, two orders of fries,
Ever see that stupid movie Super Size Me? This douchbag
goes thru the McDonalds drive thru and gets a double
cheese burger and a fries. And a soft drink. They show
him eating it slowly, over a 22min period. He's making
comments like "This is a massive amount of food" (a
double burger and a fries? Get real) and how he can
"feel the fat and sugar coursing thru his veins".
At 22min, he's done with the burger and has a few fries
left. He starts to puff his cheeks in and out and leans
out the window and hurls his lunch into the parking lot.
I swear to god, this pussified wimp couldn't keep down
about half of what I used to eat at McDonalds on a
daily basis. What a joke, I turned the channel at that
point.
Quote: WizardHere is my offer. The challenger must eat a quadruple bypass, two orders of fries, and a milkshake. If successful, I will pay for the meal and $2,000 toward medical/funeral costs if there is any heart malfunction within the next two hours directly stemming from the meal. I also reserve the right to record the eating for the benefit of the entire forum.

David, son of SOOPOO, believes that there is no defined 'size' for an order of fries, but rather access to a 'fries bar' for unlimited fries. Assuming an order of fries is one pound, and the shake is 32 ounces, then the total weight of food is around 7 pounds. David does not think he would be able complete this challenge. If the fries are 1/2 pound orders, and the shake is 16 ounces, David feels he could do it. That would be around 5 pounds total.
However, there is no way in the world I could eat TWO orders of fries on top of a quad burger. I'm also allergic to onions, so those would have to be taken off for me, which doesn't seem fair. I'm not putting myself up for that challenge.
But I'll probably stop in to try a burger...
Perhaps we could bring a scale there and he would have to eat x pounds of anything, as long as at least half of it came from the hamburgers, and no more than 25% from the milkshakes. As a basis of comparison, the old Sahara burrito challenge was 6 pounds, which I think is a good number in this case. I'm willing to wager around what we did last time on it.
RE: Supersize Me
That is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, and the scene you refer to is my favorite in the movie. Keep in mind he had been eating only McDonald's food for about two weeks by that point, and his body couldn't take much more. When you go 30 days on McDonald's food without puking then you'll be in a position to throw stones, or Big Macs, at Morgan Spurlock.
Quote: WizardKeep in mind he had been eating only McDonald's food for about two weeks by that point, and his body couldn't take much more.
The opposite is true. Your body rejects food it
doesn't like at the start, not two weeks in. It
gets used to it, it tolerates it better as time goes
on. He knew he was going to puke, he set it up
that way. A double burger and fries isn't a 'massive'
amount of food, any 6th grader can eat that much.
You can't feel fat 'coursing thru your veins.' He
had a political agenda, it was obvious. When I was
in HS, I lived on McDonalds food. You could get
4 burgers and 4 fries for a dollar and I got it almost
every day. Thats 3 times more food than that idiot
got and it was just a snack to us. The whole movie
was a setup.

You mean of course $20,000, don't you? I mean, to stay on the thread topic? :P
Either way, good luck on finding any takers. Should someone take you up on this between May 7th and 17th, I volunteer to operate the camera so you can be on the video (understanding you or someone else would supply the camera, that is).
Question: what if the challenger loses?

I have seen some skeptical stuff about that movie. Apparently some of the numbers he used in the movie don't add up, and he refuses to release logs of the foods that he ate. The wikipedia page on the movie offers a better summary of the criticisms than I can.
That said, I had a negative view of HAG until I saw that big line in the middle. "Plus 8.1% sales tax for our wasteful government." HAR!

No, I meant $2,000. I'm cheap.
Chances are no WoV member will accept, except maybe GoFaster87, but I haven't seen him post in months. SOOPOO's son is our best shot, but I don't think he'll be around when we are.
If the challenger loses he pays for the meal.

How about a colleague from the Dark Side? <w> I forget who took you up on the giant Burrito challenge at the defunct Sahara.

You are incorrect good sir...I'm up for that challenge...but we need to determine how "fries" are defined...as eating cold fries is next to eating raw worms...
The hamburger will be the easy part...it's that shake I'm worried about (sweet stuff kills me)
And on the topic of SuperSizeMe...Morgan Spurlock is a tard...no lie I have been eating fast food 3x a day for 10 years straight...I recently had my vitals checked and they're all within specs of "normal" (although my weight is a little high at 5'9" 206lbs)
Quote: MathExtremistIf they're not better than either Five Guys or In-N-Out, why bother?
Two reasons: Novelty (the restaurant is somewhat famous, so it's a story) and the awesome explanation for the sales tax in the middle of the sign ;) Neither would make me eat there often, but I wouldn't eat at the Bellagio buffet often either...

You're normally very fair Wizard, but I respectfully think you're way off here. If you think the movie is funny I won't blame you, but I think it's one of the most disingenuous films I've ever heard over. I'd consider the average Michael Moore (or Mel Gibson/Ben Stein if you prefer) film to be a lot more up front about its biases.
Anyways, I think I'm willing to take you up on your challenge. I won't try to throw a Big Mac at anyone, but if I ate only McDonald's for 30 days and never threw up because of it are you saying you'd take a harsher stance on Super Size Me?
EDIT: Sort of nevermind. Looking at the wikipedia page linked to above shows plenty of people have already managed substantial weight loss and nutrition improvements while eating at McDonalds exclusively. I'd do it on a bet still, but it seems pretty clear that 5,000 calories/day with no exercise will result in bad outcomes regardless of the makeup of the food, while 2,000 calories plus exorcise will likewise result in positive outcomes.

Cool! Looks like I get to do some filming. If you require fresh fries, we'll make sure you have them one way or another. You're right about cold fries. and day-old fries aren't even that good.
Quote:I recently had my vitals checked and they're all within specs of "normal" (although my weight is a little high at 5'9" 206lbs)
I'd tell you about a diet that's worked wonders for me, but it would kind of defeat the purpose of the challenge. Maybe afterwards? ;)
Quote: NicksGamingStuffI think you should offer 2,000 just to eat the garbage. I still wouldn't do it for 2,000,000!
One meal won't kill you... probably.
I'd do it for $2,000 if I thought I could do it. I'd fast for three days first, naturally. But I'd try it :)
foods and won't move out of your stomach for awhile. 4-
5 pounds of that kind of food is too much for most people
to handle.

BTW if you're serious about this, PM the Wizard. You wouldn't want him to miss it.
