Stand Back You Pedestrians, This Ain't No Automobile Accident

A few years ago, boredom and alcoholism brought on by cheap red cask wine dictated that a couple of us should get together and attempt the famous boiled egg scene from Cool Hand Luke. In the film, Luke is bet by fellow inmates that he cannot ingest 50 boiled eggs in an hour (apparently, that's around 6 pounds of boiled egg). Being somewhat less ( Read more... )

I once ate a handful of chocolate baking chips. To punish me, she made me finish off the whole bag.

My dad once caught me smoking a cigarette. To punish me, he sent me to the tool shed and made me finish off an entire box of cigars. My dad once caught me smoking pot. To punish me, he sent me to the tool shed and made me inject three grams of heroin. My dad once caught me kissing a girl on the lips. To punish me, he sent me to the tool shed and made me give oral sex to gang of hairy, obese biker men.

Your mumsy and my mumsy should hang out.

As for the rest, I know you're lying. You'd never smoke pot.

I love a good story with a moral at the end!

As I started reading this, I thought to myself "I reckon I could do that if the stakes were high enough" because I ate 3 boiled eggs just yesterday in about 10 minutes. But, being that I've also been known to be a drunken glutton on more than one occasion as well, maybe I should just heed the warning ;)

I've never seen Cool hand Luke either (even though I keep meaning to whenever I watch Serendipity) so spoil it for me and tell me if he manages to eat 50 without vomiting.

See, that's what I thought.

I once put away a whole large pizza. So I know how to eat. Sadly, 6 eggs got the better of me, and I've been ashamed ever since.

Of course he manages to eat them. Although I doubt it tickled.

A whole large pizza? Easy peasy! But there is variety in the flavour and it's yummy! Eggs would be more difficult in an hour and if I'm honest, I'm sure I couldn't do more than 6 either. Well I did eat 6 actually but it was over a couple of hours and shoved between bread as well.

Don't be ashamed love. You probably would have been more ashamed if you ate 7 and chucked them up in public ;)

(God, now I want pizza...)

Eggs were much harder than anticipated. And I probably *could* have done them, if they were on toast. But by themselves, never.

Hardly..!

You should have made deviled egg sandwiches. I just had a deviled egg sandwich today! And the dog and I are enjoying it again tonight! Isn't it funny how deviled egg sandwich farts smell EGGXACTLY like deviled egg sandwiches? Did I say deviled egg sandwiches enough for you?

I love deviled egg sandwiches. The bread has to be fresh, though, and buttered. And yesterday, I was farting all day - something godawful had died inside.

Please say 'deviled egg sandwiches' once more, for old time's sake.
