Another reason that God still bless' the U.S.A. I couldn't be prouder. Now our boys know what they are truly fighting for.
This isn't a contest. As an 18 year old undergrad, I would have cleaned up a dozen doughnuts at half time of any of the various football matches I played each week. Especially if they were free. At intervarsity one year, we had an Iron Man race, which consisted of downing a schooner of beer (15 fl oz) in every pub in Carlton, Melbourne, and running between each one. That's around 30 establishments, with the added impediment of eating a cold meat pie four or five times during the circuit. Students today don't know how lucky they are.
That's pretty great owlhouse, but have you ever had a Krispy Kreme doughnut? I think you would have a point if we were talking about Dunkin' Donuts, but Krispy Kreme is on a level by itself. Why? 'Cause those particular doughnuts are pretty much just sugar. I can eat only one of them without feeling like going into diabetic shock. More than one at a time? WTF? Turns my stomach just thinking about it. I really like your Iron Man race story. Reminds me of the one and only time I tried 18 holes of "shot shot golf."
I used to eat at least two every Sunday morning. Needless to say I was quite chubby at that time. Krispy Kreme's are not among the healthiest foods by any means.
This activity combines two things I love. Donuts and Running. If they could find a way to add "Watching Football" into the mix, the trifecta could be achieved and I would blossom to a new level of consciousness. Or unconsciousness. I mean, we're talking 12 donuts here.
Ugh! fixed that link for you
Here's today's write-up of the event in the Raleigh News & Observer.
I may have to try this, because I think 12 donuts is really really doable. I've eaten five krispy kremes at a go no problem before. The running part would be a piece of cake, even full.
For the love of humanity, everett, just don't chug a glass of cold water after eating the KK's. The whole mass may congeal in your esophagus, and that's not what you want written on your headstone.
And if you are really bored, you can read through the Wolf Web's KK Challenge thread. I think page seven of that thread has some pictures of some dude puking.
everett, it seems pretty tame, but take it from me, once you get to eight Krispy Kremes, your internal workings begin to rebel. It ain't pretty.
Me and a cople of buddies do something similar to this on the weekends. First its a 30 pack of delicious White Castles and then we roshambo each other until some one loses bowel control.
