Mission: Nuggets
Quote: boymimboGeez Bob, and if had made 100, would you have gone away for two months like you did when you said Romney would win the election?
Let the gloating continue.
Zing! And good try mission.

Seriously? Lol
Quote: Beethoven9thDamn, just lost $100. Thank god I didn't make a special trip just to see my money get lost.
Stop it, I'm basking in so much Schaden I just
can't stand it...
About to go to Four Queens for some drinking!
This is basically what happened:
Contrary to what EvenBob believes, my stomach was nowhere near at capacity. The Nuggets simply became more difficult to force down because of the taste.
My ultimate undoing was that some saliva collected in my chest, for whatever reason, when the video gets posted, you'll see me blowing my nose a lot and I even sneezed once. I didn't have that problem when I did the eighty, so I really don't know what the cause of that was.
So, the chunks that you guys were speculating about never actually happened. All I coughed up was a bunch of saliva and mucus, but I'm not even sure if any of the nuggets came out. I may have had a piece of one caught in my throat with the saliva, but that's all that happened.
Ultimately, I literally choked!!!

You voted for Obama in '08. What the hell do you mean you didn't have anything to do with it?

My head was cleared by 2012, I hated his guts
by then. He won, America lost, which is more
and more apparent as time goes by.

A judges ruling says you didn't lose then,
you could have continued. Why didn't you?
The dry air in Vegas plays hell with some
people, you may be one of them.

But how is that a loss?

That was a food allergy. Many foods trigger that kind of reaction -- I often have to blow my nose and even sneeze when eating certain foods. In your case, the more you ate the more of an allergic reaction you had. There is plenty of "stuff" in McDonalds foods to trigger allergic reactions. Even if you don't have a "known allergy" you can have this kind of reaction to certain additives and ingredients.

Im here anonymously. I will let the others post official results.
I thought I recognized that guy behind the counter who didn't seem like he knew what he was doing. Well played, sir, well played.
Quote: Beethoven9thBut how is that a loss?
Because he didn't eat 100 nuggets in an hour.
Quote: ThatDonGuyBecause he didn't eat 100 nuggets in an hour.
He didn't lose because of the time limit. He lost immediately after (not) vomiting.
Quote: Beethoven9thHe didn't lose because of the time limit. He lost immediately after (not) vomiting.
I call it a draw. He did NOT vomit.
Quote: EvenBobI call it a draw. He did NOT vomit.
Hmm...now I wish I would have gone. I would have protested...haha! ;)
Quote: EvenBobI call it a draw. He did NOT vomit.
He may have just called a no mas. I mean he already choked once might have figured he couldn't continue. Though I wasn't there so this is all speculation
EDIT: Just realized you were there so probably would have mentioned if he called no mas. So yeah I'd demand some kind of call of no action if I lost the better or atleast a replay to see if he did eject any nugget.
Quote: Twirdman
EDIT: Just realized you were there
I'm in MI.
Quote: EvenBobI'm in MI.
Sorry thought I saw you mention in another thread you were there. Yeah them I'm going with a call of no mas but would like to hear back from someone who was there.
Maybe we could make some good out of this in the future by making it a charity event, ie, a pledge for each nugget eaten, with a bonus to whoever eats the most without hurling. Just brain-stormin' here.
I was outside the McDonalds looking in, smoking a cigarette, thinking, "He's got it locked up, no problem."
Then I see Pierce come outside and lean over a garbage can and heave. No chicken chunks, but liquid, he said, excess saliva.
Still, we give him kudos, just fearless, "A" for effort, we salute him.

Geez, Dan. What's up with that? You know why
I'm asking. I've known so many guys in their
50's who just don't get that they're in their
50's. You don't know how many I know that
didn't make it out of they're 50's, and they were
all smokers.

I felt I needed a smoke. It's nuts, I know.
Chewing the Nicorette gum isn't the same thing.
Nicotine is a ferociously addictive substance.
Quote: onenickelmiracleEither 100 is too many or 60 minutes isn't enough time.
Well, SOOPOO's son actually ate more McNuggets, and he had to run 2 miles AND do a crossword puzzle beforehand.....all within one hour.

Like Pierce doesn't feel bad enough already. I
was pulling for you, Pierce. Kind of.. Oddly,
it turns out Vermenti was right. They poisoned
you causing a food allergy. I take back some
of what I've said about Varmenti, but not a lot.
He step up to the plate (literally), and gave it his all. Gotta respect.
For any prop bets, first of all, - for each loser is a winner.
Secondly, gamblers participate of their own accord, and there has to be ownership in that. You put your money up with your own word and hand.
and come to Vegas. Had he won, the $500 would have
paid for a lot of the trip. And he just turned 30. Lots
of schaden here for me, almost too much. The worst
part? The Wiz wins yet another prop bet. No schaden
there at all..
I guess I'll find out soon enough when the video is posted.

Yeah, that's about right, PGD. I owe the Wizard 200. I've already confirmed.
Sorry, Pierce; it was not to be. I'll be interested in the details; wondering what you had the reaction to.
Quote: EvenBobSo this cost Pierce $100, he had to buy the nuggets,
and come to Vegas. Had he won, the $500 would have
paid for a lot of the trip.
Mission only bet even money (I think).
Quote: Beethoven9thMission only bet even money (I think).
Right. Wiz put up 500. Mission didn't want that much action, took 100. It was even money on willie/wonte. I took 100 of it right then, and about a week later, I took another hundred. There was other action, but that's what I got involved in.
Quote: Beethoven9thI'm gonna pay off my loss, of course, but I'm still curious. Did he vomit or not? After reading his message, I got the impression that he didn't. But if he spit out saliva, then I agree that should count as vomiting.
I guess I'll find out soon enough when the video is posted.
Yeah any "reversal of fortune" should count, even if it isn't mcnugget based. But why didn't you take your Zyrtec-D today, Mission! :P
Quote: Beethoven9thMission only bet even money (I think).
I thought he had a good chance of doing it,
that's why I rooted against him. It's part of
my charm. Of course he will never live this
down, that goes without saying.

So the Wiz gets your $200? Way to clean up
Wiz. Now you can buy yourself something
for Xmas. Like a DC prohibition cars license
plate.

You pays your money, you takes your chances. I certainly would've expected him to pay me if Mission had been successful, so of course he gets my $200. With any luck, he'll parlay 4 $50 dollar tickets into another huge payday tomorrow. Won money is lucky money. And I don't welch.
Quote: beachbumbabsso of course he gets my $200.
You're a woman, he'll probably let you off the
hook. Naw.. I just wanted to see if I could type
that without lol. I didn't make it.
Quote: GWAEyou know what the saddest part of this is?
Now Varmenti doesn't have to pay up on his $1000 bet
Well, I sort of disagree with that. He was going to pay if Mission didn't do it, at least at some point, and nagging him ridiculously. And Mission didn't do it. But Varmenti placed so many non-bets in so many directions anybody who thought he would actually pay anything was kidding themselves.
Quote: beachbumbabsWell, I sort of disagree with that. He was going to pay if Mission didn't do it, at least at some point, and nagging him ridiculously.
That's true, but he then made a second "no risk" bet saying that he'd pay $100 to 10 lucky members if Mission ate 100 nuggets.
But in any case, you're right, I don't think anybody honestly expected varmenti to pay up if he lost. lol...
get nothing from that at all, I'm glad this isn't Xmas
Eve.

Good try!
I find my nose and throat get all kinds of screwed up being in the dry Vegas air compared to home where it is always so humid. Not sure if that's what happened to you or what. Keep that in mind for your next attempt :)

Not just dry, the air is *monstrously* dry and when I was there it gave me nose-bleeds from dried cracked mucous membranes.

There is a peptide YY that is released causing the feeling of fullness when you eat. When it was tested initially as a possible appetite suppressant they found too much in the blood stream caused vomiting.
I'm wondering if pre-exercise, a two mile run would have actually helped? Calories are stored or burned.
