The Fries Challenge . . . from hell

It was supposed to be a burger challenge.

your choice of 4 of our 10 burgers, piled high with toppings and served with an enormous pile of cheese fries.

The fact that the word “enormous” was not defined, is the deadliest aspect of this challenge.  The fact that the word “enormous” was not defined, is exactly why this thing shouldn’t really even be called a burger challenge.

It should be “Loaded French Fries challenge with a side of Hamburgers

Needless to say, I failed quite horribly, although not nearly as bad Huzzard did.  I consumed roughly three and 3/5 of the four hamburgers, and I didn’t put a noticeable dent in the estimated eight potatoes worth of loaded cheese fries that “were thrown in” to the challenge.

I felt that I was making good time, and if the limits of my body were greater than what I had already exhibited, I know I could have finished it.  But the mountain of fries always being in sight proved to be adversity that clouded my mind with doubt and uncertainty, which ultimately led to my inevitable defeat.  I’m seriously beginning to wonder if I’ll ever defeat any of the food challenges that I always seem to think I’m capable of toppling when I see them.

Just some facts

I am at my parents’ house right now.

My parents are not home.

They are in Costa Rica.

My parents changed the locks on the house.

I had to go to my aunt in order to get a spare key to get in.

I did not know of any of this until about just before I was about to make my trip up to Virginia.  And as funny as all this sounds, it really truly is just coincidence, but it’s a funnier story to explain it as such.  Oh, I get along great with my parents, but they changed the locks on their house and went to Costa Rica.

Oh well.  At least I’m comfortably in my old bed, in my old, pitch-black closet of a bedroom, even if it’s a completely empty house.

Tomorrow, or rather, well later today, I will embark on a burger challenge that I do not wish to incur failure.  Photos will probably end up here soon afterward.
