Weird Dreams, Filthy Friday Challenge and General Stupidity

Its Filthy Friday and I am still alive for now... I havent actually done the challenge yet, were preparing our thoughts for what the challenge is going to be today; Warde is going for the raised bar on the Mini Fillets to 6, Neil is going to try the full 5 Mini Fillets and not pussy out on the last one and Im still undecided! Ive come up with a fair few new challenges and a concept for putting it all together into something wonderful, but Im keeping it close to my chest for now *paranoid gazes around for onlookers and idea thieves*

New challenge ideas involve 15 Hot Wings (timed), 3 or More Big Macs, Bargain Bucket (Ive already done that before!! ) and other obvious ones... there are lots I could set up and in time I will be doing soon!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had a weird dream on Thursday, I was in the Crystal Maze doing a challenge and Richard o Brian started counting down for the lock in. He said I put two feet on the ground, which I didnt.. so Ibeat the living piss out of him. Then later in the dream some guys in the street also said I put two feet on the ground in the challenge so I beat the piss out of them, with umbrellas Dead Rising style! Maybe I could analyze this to say Im afraid to have people seeing that I have both feet on the ground (being the non committal person that I am) but wtf has Richard o Brian got to do with it, and wtf are the umbrellas about... or I could look at it like Richard o Brian is a douche and deserved the tw*tting, and so did the dumbasses in the street. Who knows but I told you I was mental!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right, my challenge is set! 15 in 15... thats right. HOT WINGS BABY!

Achievement : Eat 15 Hotwings (15 minutes maximum)

Winner! 15 in 15... challenge complete! Challenge complete in around 12 minutes too... and I even had time to be walking around and typing with my none greased fingers! It was, as I said to Paul, Awesomeness Cubed!!!

Training for the big challenge

Fridays challenge is probably going to be the hardest thus far, 10 burgers is a lot of buns more than anything and they're pretty dry to boot... thus meaning were gonna have to be drinking liquids, bloating...etc etc... bottom line is its going to be tough. Plus Amy is worried about the health repercussions of eating 10 burgers from McDonalds, lol... but its for "science" so I have to!!

In any case, slightly prematurely, we've done some training and done a 5 burger warm up and its been pretty tough! The burgers are sooo unbelievably dry that swallowing becomes the challenge rather than the quantity. We even had BBQ sauce, but the McDs stuff is amazingly acidic after using on a few mouthfuls, the back of my throat felt red raw. Few swigs of water and I was ok.. but they were like eating cardboard for the most part.

5 took a grand total of 11 minutes... not bad considering I was talking to people on MSN at the time too, and had to break whilst Neil got water. The last 5 would probably take 5 minutes longer so ten in less than 30 minutes is an easily achievable task...the question is whether we want to!

So whilst this challenge is actually possible, we may put it on the back burner until next week/month as we've had a filthy day this week, and I think 15 McDonalds burgers in one week is probably asking for trouble, especially given my stomach! But to mark the achievement of 5 burgers I've made a button... not as many LifePoints (Patent Pending *shakes fist*) but another achievement none the less!

Achievement : Eat 5 Hamburgers (15 minutes maximum)

Raising the bar

McDonalds
Achievement : Eat 10 Hamburgers (In one sitting, 30 minutes maximum)

STATUS ::INCOMPLETE


Well the bar has officially been raised for Filthy Friday... but as it has not yet been completed the challenge is greyed out, much like another system with Play Points! Will we complete it?!? I reckon so... McDs burgers are a piece of piss to eat, but 10 of them in one sitting...hmmm!

I can't wait for the drivethru order... "30 Hamburgers please!!!"...hahaha....

The Angry Nintendo Nerd

Last nights bottle of red wine in the Links with the scummy sediment in the bottom hasn't sat well with my stomach, and our room this morning smelt like a backstreet Kebab house. To make matters worse I had a mouthful of the stuff which nearly made me puke! Stupid Links and its crappy Sunday night quiz... bring back £1 a pint, thats what I say.... £2.25+ for a pint of shitty lager is a joke so Im back on the wine, but even thats gone up £2 a bottle and has f*cking rancid sediment in the bottle!?! I may start taking my own booze out with me.... that'll learn 'em! (lol.. deliberate sic)

Anyway, todays post is about the Angry Nintendo Nerd found at Screw Attack dot com and his wonderful reviews of crappy old NES games from many a moon ago. Its definitely NSFW material but if your boss doesnt mind a bit (sic!!) of swearing then check it out.. its probably one of the funniest things I watched last year! His review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES made me spit coffee on the wall in my office so its pretty damn funny!

One of my favorite comments is about the Nintendo Power Glove.. he says "Now youre playing with Power...Now youre playing with f*cking SHIT! Youre better off with shit than this f*cked up shit! etc etc...

Check him out in any case, he rocks!! :)

The Mini Fillet Challenge

Well Ive just this minute finished the "KFC Mini Fillet challenge" and it was great! A little too easy but none the less it was great.... unlike the Double Quarter Pounder c0wd3th challenge which is just asking for trouble (no-one could eat 3 Double Quarter Pounders from McDonalds and expect to live).

The Mini Fillet challenge involves eating 5 Mini Fillet burgers in 10 minutes...thats it! Sounds easy doesnt it, and you're right, it is! Wanna raise the bar?! Go right ahead!
------------------------------
I should post the rather funny story of us ordering them too as its the best part. I set the mini Fillet to the guys in the office as part of our "Filthy Friday" goodness, our one day of the week we eat junk food at lunch, and they seemed up for it!

So Neil and Steve headed out to KFC to pick up our order... of 15 mini fillets. Steve is a skinny whippet at the best of times, and he ordered a large fries as well, so Neil started the order with that.

KFC Scroat : "Welcome to KFC Drivethru... can I take your order please?"
Neil : "Can I order a large fries... and 15 Mini Fillets?"
KFC Scroat : "Sorry... how many mini fillets??"
Neil : "15"
KFC Scroat : "FIFTEEEEN???!!!"
Neil :"Yes, fifteen.... as in one five.... fifteen..."
KFC Scroat : "Ok... 15????"
Neil : "Yes, god damn it.... FIFTEEN MINI FILLETS!! .. (bitch)"
KFC Scroat : "Ok... thats £16.17 at the window please"
Neil : "....Dick..."

So in any case, we got three bags of mini fillets and proceeded to munch them once they got back to the office. Neil was only just defeated (but I'll put that down to the soup he'd had about an hour before I set the challenge) and he at 4 and just the fillet of the last burger. Steve and I now both hold the Mini Fillet Badge for completing the challenge just like on Xbox Live!!

Why England didnt win the World Cup in a nut shell

I'm going to start the year as I mean to go on... COMPLAINING!

Its Wednesday night and Celebrity Big Brother has begun and already got my back up. Some Footballers WAG is on the show and shes a f*cking dick.. in fact I have more brains in my own than she does or ever will. For those of you who are wondering WAG is Wives and Girlfriends (replace W with SL and youll paint the right picture).

In any case, it brought back memories of the World Cup and Englands "shocking" ejection from it. The British media put most of the blame on the WAGS... aparently they were partying until 2am every night, shopping, and again, the media speculative was they were shagging out our "Stars" too. You see these are things you only find out watching good old British TV... God Bless the TV licence...

I just want to clear this up once and for all... we went out because we are shit. Always have been, always will be and the Boomtown mentality of the Neanderthal British public is amazing. Accept the fact that a) Footballers are overpaid monkeys b) England are shit and c) If you blamed the WAGs for our early ejection, you're a friggin' moron.

I don't really like Football at the best of times, but I do like the World Cup.. and yes, I was pretty disappointed when we went out on penalties again, but come on... just accept that we went out, we werent as good as the other teams and that its only a game. Don't try and blame it on a bunch of slappers that only know how to shop!

Phew... thats one rant over with... not my first of the year, but its the first on my blog. Stupid TV made me put my PC on too...

Oh... and I hate Big Brother too - how long is this shit on for?!
