coming tomorrow: JONATHAN ATTEMPTS THE MILK CHALLENGE
Jonathan has foolishly bet me he can drink a gallon of milk in an hour. He clearly has not learned anything from his ignominious defeat at the Saltine Challenge. I will be taking pictures (for you) and laughing my ass off.
Is this a very difficult thing to do because of some physiological reason related to milk-protein or the milk sugar (lactose) and simply the volume and transit time.
Be ready for a serious mopping up and have the route to the ER handy.
There was a period in my life where I devoted a lot of time to finding someone who could accomplish this feat.
My best candidate was a 23 year old guy I worked with. He was 6'3', weighed about 180 lbs and ate like a frickin horse. He got close. Real close.
Then he violently spewed white vomit all over his parent's house. I wish that I had taped the event, because I was only able to see a moment of the fireworks because I was laughing so hard.
There is an additional physical side effect that occurs about an hour after the milk challenge. I will let Jonathan discover that for himself, but would offer the friendly advice to not leave the house.

I hope you included a clause in your bet that he has to clean up the mess that will inevitably be created when he fails at this!
he replies "failure is not an option." I will leave the mopping to him.
the saltine challenges sounds easier, but both must be much more difficult than they sound.
I hope Jonathan milks this challenge and skims the cream off the top of the open churn of fun.

Poor Jonathan...he will go down in flames.
