Crimson came up w/ a fun idea in this thread.
This thread is to finalize details, raise money, and then post results (video, etc.) of thread.
I accepted Crimson's offer #1: $100 to drink bottle of hot sauce of my choosing
and offer #2: $200 to eat 4 sticks of butter
Time limits - 1 hr
Other food and drink during challenge - allowed
Puking - must not puke for 5 minutes after finishing
Anyone who has any other suggestions re: details/parameters for these bets, please chime in.
Crimson is in Santa Cruz and can do these next week. If any 2+2ers would like to go watch/verify, that would be great, but I trust Crimson. Crimson, please post when would be good for you to do this.
I will see what Safeway has in terms of hot sauce. The 1 million scoville sauce proposed is unreasonable. I am thinking something hotter than Tabasco, but not crazy or dangerous. Something like Dave's Insanity Sauce. I will followup in this thread.
Crimson, I will trust that you don't cheat. You will have to trust my judgement on payment. If you complete the tasks, you get full payment. I will pay you some portion of the amounts if you make what I consider a valiant attempt. If there is any dispute, I will be the final judge regarding payment.
We will put some details in place like "sealed bottle of sauce, opened on video, etc." OOT will contribute feedback as to whether the video was altered, etc (ie: cut and edited so you can dump sauce). Rather than try this nonsense, Crimson, just make your best attempt and I will take care of you fairly.
Here is the current donation tally. The more the better, as I hope we will be able to fund many such challenges if these videos turn out to be as amusing as I believe they will:
Hopefully you have PokerStars, Crimson - that is the easiest place to do these transfers.
felson $25
mason55 $50 (contingent on being satisified w/ hot sauce choice)
citanul $30 (contingent on downloadable videos)
That currently leaves $195 that daryn and I will split. Would love to have a bunch of you jump in for $20-30 pledge (for use in this and other challenges). If we get over 15, I will just take the five of us here and the next 10 for $20 each, then roll the pledge list forward to future challenges.
Also, if someone could host the videos, that would be great.
I'm sure I'm missing all sorts of details. If there's anything important, please post. However, I want to keep this as simple as possible, just a gentlemanly fun stunt, not something where Crimson tries to angle or I try to weasel out of payment on a technicality.
