what's the craziest thing you've done lately?
BY: ellasdad on 2007-05-09 7:32 AM

i stopped training hard and eating right... i had to stop cause i was trying to gain weight...what you say... i had to gain 22 lbs last month to go up to cydesdale for a bet... what you say... well my buddy typically places in clydes and we were talking and he said that clydes were a tough group to place in... and as it always happens while drinking... i said i bet i can gain the weight before the race (a month and a half away) and not only beat your time but place at white lake...a couple of hand shakes later and a wager of 5 hundred came the milkshake a day from goodberrys and macdonalds everyday 22lbs later i hit 200lbs the day before the race... well i was nine seconds behind the first place guy who was 6'4" and a stud with about 5% bf . on the podium i rubbed the belly for the last time...satified with 2nd place and five hundy richer and a new respect for folks who have to carry extra weight while racing... next time one of the elites thinks that they are the shizzy tell'em strap 60lbs on your body and let's see how they do.....so now it's back to getting ready for imfl and dropping 40.... so that's life in a nut shell...i know i'm stupid but deniro did it for a movie so i figured i can do it.....
so... what would you do for a klondike bar...

That doesn't make you crazy.  That makes the spectators crazy.

There's not much I can say that will sound crazy after that.

Guess you actually learned the meaning behind this shirt:

I was looking for the 'You wouldn't be so fast with a 40# backpack" but couldn't find it.

 

Now, the bigger question is how long it will take you to lose those 22# Spurlock.

Yeah, where on earth could a gal get a fella to loan her a bike so she could ride it naked?  [sarc on/off]

My neighbors thing getting up at 3:30am to ride my bike is crazy - but that doesn't really count here, does it?

My lovely wife will tell you that I'm nuts for bike commuting to work. It's 50 miles round trip, and I work second shift, so I don't get off work until 10:30ish.

Are you MAD?!  You've heard about what she does to her bike when she is CLOTHED.  Imagine what kind of condition you would get the bike back after she's been NAKED.

*shudder*

other than getting in a fist fight or getting insane playground bruises?

i guess it would be ripping the big e sticker off the headtube on my new tri bike, and replacing it with a sticker that looks like this:

While my wife was in labor on Monday I was rubbing her low back during the contractions (she’s only wearing a hospital gown) and I’m leaning over with my elbows on the bed and during a contractions I get “point farted” a couple times.  We (her mother was there also) laughed it off between contractions.

WELL, yesterday when I went to the hospital to visit the wife and baby (my mom brought our son to meet his sister also), I started to make a joke about those “point farts” and well…IF LOOKS COULD KILL!!!

 

That was the most recent crazy thing I did.  Note to self:  Engage brain filter.

Entered and won a hot dog eating contest. It was Greek Week, and the girl who had said she would do it had class, so I got nominated because I was the only meat-eater with a stomach of steel, apparently. I did finish second to the guys, but I won the sorority category hands down. We were given 8 dogs to eat in 3 minutes, I finished 7 and half a bun, using the squish and dunk method.

Oh, and I nearly choked. The only thought going through my head? "Dam, am I really going to die in front of the entire Greek community, from choking on a damn hot dog? Is this really how I'm going out? I somehow thought it would be more glamorous."

Before we got started

Midpoint

Almost dying
