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&#8217;d ordered the fixins (whole pickle, lettuce, tomato) on the side. They told him if he didn&#8217;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 &#8220;fry balls,&#8221; 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Editor&#8217;s note: Since one of my readers checks my blog every 6 hours, I&#8217;m defying sleep to get this online&#8230;) Tonight after trivia at the Saucer, several of us snuck out to go to Kooky Canuck.
