burp.
i keep burping. wanna know why? well, let me tell you a story.
it all began on an innocent sunday afternoon at eastminster presbyterian church in ventura, california. six leaders and four kids gathered for epc middle school fear factor. and it was all down hill from there.
two leaders led the games while everyone else divided into teams. it ended up being guys vs gals, the rematch. the gals took the guys last week in the digital camera scavenger hunt.
the first activity was the jello taste test. it was lime jello with something different added to each one, that the blindfolded contestant would need to identify. the first was garlic, the second was bacon (i got that one), the third was tuna, and the fourth and final was chocolate chip cookies. gross but not too bad. (last time i got lime jello with ranch dressing. that was worse than bacon.) the teams were tied after this event. 2-2.
the second activity was a timed event in which each team would dig through a box of crickets and branches to find keys that correspond to a different bike lock. once all locks were opened tri-tip the stuffed cow would be free. the guys time was quicker here (only by like 40 seconds) so they took this event. 5-2 guys.
the third activity was by far the worst - we drank milk shakes. but not normal milk shakes, "specialized" milk shakes. the leaders in charge had 8 ingredients and each ingredient had a corresponding number. both teams picked 4 numbers and got the ingredients that went with them. the guys team ended up with pickled cactus, canned spinach, a stick of butter, and spam. the gals team got chocolate chip cookie dough, coconut shavings, velveeta cheese, and sardines. we appeared to have the raw end of the deal (pun fully intended), but decided to go first. i have to honestly say that it wasn't too bad. gross yes, but thankfully the cookie dough overpowered the sardines while we were drinking. it was the aftertaste that did the majority of us in. my mom, sarah, and myself all drank our portion of the shake with natalie the only one to not finish it. refunding did occur. the guys came next and, surprisingly, theirs was worse and no one finished. i couldn't even watch them, because they were all gagging and refunding. i still cringe at the thought. so the gals took that game by a huge margin and were now in the lead. 8-5 gals.
the fourth and final event was more mental and much easier on the stomach. we had to solve this puzzle. four of the five pieces made a square but you had to figure out how to incorporate the fifth piece to make it into a square. it was difficult, and made gross by the fact that the pieces were covered and needed to be worked with on lard. yep, lard. it wasn't pleasant but i'd rather have done that than drink another shake. we weren't going anywhere, but after a couple of hints the gals team pulled it through (sarah got it in the end) and won. the gals increased their lead with this game. 12-5 gals.
that means that the ladies team won and we got a "million dollar prize." it was a package of 10 100 grand candy bars. get it a million dollars?
overall a good and sickening time. it's been about 3 hours since i drank the shake and i'm STILL burping and feeling a little gross. i've never done anything like that before and don't plan on it again. i am proud of myself for doing it though.
