Crimson Challenge Round 3 [Archive] - Two Plus Two Older Archives

OK. Lot of interest from a few different geographies: midwest, pac NW, texas, canada, to name a few. Multiple can happen concurrently if the challenges are right.

I will post the updated pledge and challenge list in this thread later today.

In the meantime, those of you who are looking to do some challenges, please start tossing out your ideas in this thread so we can decide on challenges and location(s) for Round Three.

Let me say this. In general, consumption challenges are starting to get a little played out. Now, the 20oz of Dave's hot sauce, that I might want to see. But, in general, consumption challenges are probably going to get less financial support now, as they are losing their novelty. 1-on-1 competitive challenges are among the types of thing that might be interesting.

Sucker rehashed my prior suggestion of flour, a consumption challenge I do like a lot. Matt Flynn mentioned some nonsense about a blocked intestine or something. Any of you medical folks want to comment on flour-eating considerations? I have eaten a lot of cake, cookies, bread, and pizza before without any problem, so how dangerous can uncooked flour really be?

Still need to finalize pledge commitments in the CC2 thread. Will also do that later today once all committee members have chimed in on all challenges.

Washington D.C.:

Possible challenges include water challenge, which involves multiple participants.

Flatliner challenge. The flatliner is an insanely hot chicken wing a local place (The Wing Factory) around here carries that makes you sign a waiver before they let you eat them.

We could turn the flatliner into a competition with a prize pool and see who finishes 10 first, or we could do an individual challenge such as eat 20.

I will tell you I have had 2 personally and they are extremely hot. I have a couple friends who have eaten them and the most anyone I know has done is 15. I wasn't there when he did 15 but I have seen someone do 5 and he was shaking and crying after eating those 5.

If you eat 10 they let you sign your name on the wall on some sign that takes about a year to fill up.

Edit: I'd prefer if the water challenge stayed in DC as I came up with the idea.

Also to update the shaking from flatliners. My friend who was shaking held out his hand and it looked like he had parkinson's disease.

it's kind of a boring consumption one, but it would be great if someone could actually do it.

Upon looking at the site again so many of the challenges are bad its probably not worth checking out unless you're really really bored...

One time during a non-drinking phase of my life I won a keg of beer at a superbowl party at a bar. I had one month to drink the keg. So I used to go in and just give beers away to friends and I would tip the waitress $1 per pint.

At the beginning of the night I would ask how many pints I was up to as they kept a running tab behind the bar. As the waitresses soon realized they were making better tips out of me than some other regulars who might only tip 25c or 50c per pint, they began to fudge the figures.

I would start the night with a total of 53 pints for instance and by the end of the night I was at 48. wtf? was I putting beer back in the keg?

I never did finish that keg by the end of the month.

To cleanse the palate after consumption challenges, how about some type of strength/endurance challenge? Lifting 1/1.5/2x bodyweight, pushing cars, World's Strongest Man type stuff. They'd have to be prorated by the challenger's weight, but I'm sure OOT can figure it out.

Something like this would be deceptively tough.

Another upside of strength challenges: one on one opportunities for trash talk, etc.

Or combine them with food. Chug a beer and then hold a couple sacks of horseshoes for a minute after the other guy socks you in the gut, then switch.

I only offer up another boring consumption challenege. I challenge Evan to a milk based competition as we are similar in size and stature. It could either be a race to finish a half gallon, or just see who could drink the most in an hour. I'm up here in MA though, so maybe some challenges could be conducted in the Foxwoods parking lot.

I would love to stay updated on a DC Crimson Challenge. I'd be very interested in getting involved.

Also, as a challenge, I think that since this will probably happen in the dead of winter, maybe some kind of "Who can stand outside in only boxers the longest" type challenge, although I imagine that the possibility of frostbite might be too much for some.

11-09-2005, 10:32 PM

I would probably do a SIIHP Tat.

20 oz of Daves, unless its played out.

[Please continue posting challenges and pledges here. Round three of challenges will be proposed next week after the NYC challenges this weekend. There is current interest in Canada, Midwest, Texas, DC, Pac NW.]

If you are not on this list and would like to support all sorts of ongoing crazy challenges, please add your name to this list. Pledging just $20 can make a huge difference in a poor high-school or college student's life. For those wanting to contribute more, $40 or more pledged makes you a GOLD-LEVEL SPONSOR, pledging $100 or more makes you a DIAMOND-LEVEL SPONSOR and pledging $200 or more and you'll be an elite PLATINUM-LEVEL SPONSOR. There are many exciting benefits to these sponsorship levels, I'm sure.

The following people have pledged money towards these challenges. Those w/ asterisks are PLATINUM-LEVEL sponsors. Those w/ exclamation points are DIAMOND-LEVEL sponsors. A period indicates GOLD-LEVEL sponsors. The way this works is, I'm just going to walk down the list asking for $20 a pop. Once we get to the end of the list, I'll start over w/ anyone who has remaining money pledged, again, asking $20 a pop. We'll deal w/ logistics of transfers (Party/Stars/Paypal etc.) later. Some people pledged based on certain conditions, again, we'll worry about that stuff later. I'm sure enough people will be good for their pledges.

1v1 Challenge Idea

Two people step into seperate batting cages and allow tennis balls to be shot at them for a set period of time. At the end of the time tally up 1 point for every ball you were hit by whoever has the most points wins.

If the cage can crank up to 40mph+ this is fun to watch.

Too many random challenges that people aren't interested in. Here are a few that have stood out or received a lot of interest:

Wasabi snorting
20oz Dave's Insanity sauce (behemoth)
Beer-drinking/gut-punching
Flour eating (awaiting more safety feedback)

Generally, 1-on-1 endurance tests also seem to be popular.

Keep contributing to this thread. I am hoping some will garner widespread support over the next few days.

A friend of a friend shot a documentary on homeless people in the Louisville area for their film school thesis.

One of the interviewees (homeless man) told about how on Sundays (when liquor isn't sold), if someone is getting the shakes, they try to scrounge up $1.06 so they can go into a drug store and buy a bottle of mouthwash to drink, since it contains alcohol.

He also claimed they'd drink rubbing alcohol too, if that's all they could get.

Toward the end, Keaveney, who never saw the cop show before, was hallucinating.
"I was seeing little spiders dropping from the ceiling," he said. "The screen felt like the floor, and I was sitting on the wall. . . . The storylines were incomprehensible to me."

One of the interviewees (homeless man) told about how on Sundays (when liquor isn't sold), if someone is getting the shakes, they try to scrounge up $1.06 so they can go into a drug store and buy a bottle of mouthwash to drink

1 v 1 throwing random objects at each other's balls

i really like this suggestion. this would make a hilarious video to watch. something like dodgeball, with two guys standing a certain distance apart, but with the stipulation that they CAN'T dodge! and they throw tennis balls or whatever at each other's crotches until one of them is incapacitated or gives up. that would be awesome.

the way we did it was we sat apart from each other in this dude's kitchen. we were about 5 feet apart maybe. so just sitting there, back against the wall, and legs spread open. it started with apples and progressed to oranges, melons, baseballs, full beer cans, etc. until we called a mutual quit.

we weren't whipping it, just throwing nice arching lobs but they would come down with force and if it hit right would really hurt

This is completely sick. Therefore, if it occurs and I get to see video (or see it happen if there is a Denver challenge) I will pledge $20.

I'm willing to pledge another $20 for when my turn comes round again !

I also think this is a good idea. Contestants stand 15 feet away facing each other. They take turns throwing objects at each other. If the contestant "flinches" in any way, he has to forfeit some monetary amount...like $5 for each instance of flinching. If its $10 or $20 per "hit", whoever gets to $100 or $200 or whatever wins. Headshots/nutshots could be extra $$$. I think tennis balls, hard boiled eggs, or tomatoes would make the best projectiles.

I am fine with this becoming an entirely 2+2 motivated open source project, but I'm giving asofel first crack at it as he stepped up first.

Community wide sounds good to me--I'm flying to Florida this weekend and won't have any for the site, so if other web designers/programmers want to work on it, that's cool.

There's always the blood-donation triathalon:
1) Donate a pint of blood
2) Chug a 6-pack, traditionally PBR
3) Run a mile

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm confused as to why there hasn't been more enthusiasm for this challenge. It was fairly popular during my undergrad years - I'd figure if we just made the run longer or demanded more beer it'd make a great prop bet.

[/ QUOTE ]

I might be convinced to do this if the money was right. This challenge also looks ripe for heads up competition.

This could occur in DC

I live close to a metro and a High School with a track.

However, I say we trade the 6 pack for an OJ / Grain mixture (this was a college favorite of mine).

I'll be out of town until Sunday....so if this gets going we can do it then
