Wow, it's been a while! A redditor posted a challenge that involved performing the Ice Bucket Challenge. For those who don't know, the Ice Bucket Challenge is a recent trend where a nominated person would have to face the choice of dumping ice water on their head or donating $100 to ALS research. Typically, the person has 24 hours to complete the challenge, or they are considered to forfeit by way of donation. The person would then nominate several other people, who must then face the challenge and around and around we go.
(Note: In order to avoid being a horrible person, it is customary to donate regardless of water dumpage.)
So a certain redditor has issued the challenge to anyone in exchange for two months of reddit gold.
The only condition is that I read a certain script beforehand, which he has sent me, and I should preferably be sporting a fedora and neckbeard. Tragically, I do not have a neckbeard. Equally tragic is that I do have a fedora...
I've accepted a challenge to play a game of Pizza Roulette! You can read over the challenge HERE! It's like Russian Roulette, except that instead of a bullet, one slice of pizza will be loaded up with a Ghost Pepper. So it's actually a bit worse than Russian Roulette.
Here are the rules:
Buy Pizza
Load one slice of pizza with the ghost pepper (one of the world's hottest peppers, you can buy this online or at some shops)
Cook it!
Put the pizza onto any object that spins well and will hold the whole pizza comfortably.
Spin the pizza around.
Eat the slice facing you.
Hope that the slice isn't loaded with pure agony.
If you cannot prove that you have put the ghost pepper on the pizza, no gold for you. You can't use any other type of chilli.
Reward: One month of Reddit Gold.
Seems simple enough. Here I go!
Bonus Round! Rules are:
Do not drink milk/any other substance that stops chilli pain within a minute of eating the slice of doom.
Eat the entire slice of pizza with the chilli on. No crapping out after one or two bites.
No screaming/moaning in agony.
After eating the cursed slice (and before drinking anything to cure the pain), you must cry out the following: "/u/ConsiderablyMediocre is the greatest, I can not thank him any more for placing this wonderful gift upon me!"
Play black metal in the background while playing, to prove your manliness. You must sing along to it after eating the slice and before drinking anything to cure the pain. Whether you do this before or after proclaiming your love for me is your choice.
Also mention Ol_Dirty_Man.
Reward: Two months of Reddit Gold, a hand written congratulatory letter, and a hand drawn depiction of my suffering.
This was a bit more of a challenge. The song playing in the background in Infinite Fields of Mind, by Abigail Williams. Enjoy!
Video tape self "singing" any song in the style of William Shatner's "Rocket Man".
Upload to YouTube.
Best 2 videos will recieve 2 months of Reddit Gold each.
I really agonized over what song to butcher. I was trying to decide between TLC's "No Scrubs" and the Dueling Banjo's from Deliverance (the song was not required to have lyrics).
However, I recently found out that, after a 3 year hiatus, homestarrunner.com has updated! In order to commemorate this momentous event in internet history, I have selected the song, Trogdor, as my entry.
Rex_Mundi has issued an interesting challenge. I had to play him at a game he invented called Cosmos. They game is free and can be found HERE!!! It was actually really fun! It's sort of a strange cross between poker and cribbage, but there's a twist at the end of the game where almost anyone can win, dependng on their strategy and luck throughout the game.
I played a few rounds by myself just to get a feel for the game. Rex was also there in the lobby and was very friendly and able to answer questions. When the time came for us to have a four-way game with two other players, he was pretty patient and explained all the game mechanics to us.
It took me a few rounds to really get the hang of everything, but once I got it, it was a great game. If I can, I'm going to check out the tournament later this month and see if I can win some cash!
1.) MAKE A DOZEN HARD BOILED (GRADE A LARGE FROM A CHICKEN, YOU LOOPHOLE FINDING NUTJOBS) EGGS.
2.) SET A TIMER FOR 3 MINUTES.
3.) EAT AS MANY EGGS AS YOU CAN (WHOLE, NO BITES. PUT THE WHOLE EGG IN YOUR MOUTH AND CHEW ON IT, ONE AT A TIME) IN THAT 3 MINUTES.
4.) ONE MONTH OF GOLD PER 4 EGGS. UP TO 3 MONTHS IS YOUR REWARD. NOTHING IF YOU VOMIT.
5.) P.S. - NO LIQUIDS ;-)
And the Reward:
1 month of Reddit Gold.
I have to admit, I thought this was going to be a piece of cake. Boy,was I wrong. I started off strong, but right around egg five or six I hit a wall. I suddenly just got so sick of the taste. I ended up gagging twice during the challenge.
SeeScottRock mentions in a comment that one of the most difficult parts of the challenge is the dryness of the yolks, much like in the Saltine Challenge, but this wasn't a huge issue for me, but I've hardly eaten all day so maybe my mouth was watering? Who knows...
Also, I totally got the guy's name wrong! In the video I call him SeeScottRun! Dude, if you're reading this, I apologize.
Also also, I totally cough up a chunk of chewed egg yolk on about egg #10, I believe! Oh, the shame...
Approach people in the street asking them if they want to help you with a card trick, sleight of hand or something.
Set up the trick however you want (have them pick a card or whatever).
Go through the motions of a trick, but at the end it just doesn't work out on purpose (wrong card, sleight doesn't work, etc.). But then you ACT like it was really successful and blew everyone's mind. ("Is this your card?" "N.." "BAZINGA! I did it again, Oh yea!") Then act all pompous and just let the person awkwardly walk away while you are gloating and showing off to the camera and everyone else.
Video needs to be original and made after this post. Don't just link to an existing video from someone else.
The Reward: 4 months of Reddit Gold!
So here's a video of me just outside of the local college embarrassing myself with failed magic tricks!
Temporarily_Alone said that the more awkward the better, so I decided to have some real fun with the last one. Hopefully, I didnt break any rules...
By far the sauerkraut and the beets were the worst things in there. Sauerkraut was the worst of the two, by a wide margin. Every bite was just permeated by that sour, acidic taste. Disgusting.
By the end of it, I poured the juice into a glass and drank the rest of it. I was gagging periodically which is really more surprising than anything. I've always had a strong stomach. Even the Pepper Challenge didn't upset my stomach, though I did come close to throwing up after the ghost pepper. About halfway through this challenge, I wanted pretty badly to just give up. Honestly, the thought crossed my mind that it probably wasn't worth just two months of Gold, but after having come so far I didn't want it to be for nothing. I did eventually finish the bowl.
