(Editor’s note: Since one of my readers checks my blog every 6 hours, I’m defying sleep to get this online…)
Tonight after trivia at the Saucer, several of us snuck out to go to Kooky Canuck. As we got there, we saw a guy doing a Kookamonga Challenge, where if you eat a 4 lb. burger, plus about an additional 2 lb. of bun and fixins, you get the burger for free. He was about 45 minutes into it and was almost done. Then they realized he’d ordered the fixins (whole pickle, lettuce, tomato) on the side. They told him if he didn’t want to eat those, he had to eat extra fries which they brought out. So for the last 10 minutes of the 60 minute challenge we watched him roll up “fry balls,” dip them in a pitcher of water, and eat them. He got through it in time and got photographed as a winner with the empty platter.
All my friends wussed out because it was, after all, 10 PM (even John D stayed out until 9), and I went back to the Saucer for 3 more beers. Calling it a night now.
