Of COURSE Mock Trial trips involve eating contests!

So I'm in Normal, IL, which is a real city's name, for our first Mock Trial tournament, at ISU. We've had our first trial and we'll have more tomorrow and Sunday.

BORING.

So tonight a bunch of us went to Wendy's for dinner because all the places that serve, you know, food, were closed. And one of our attorney coaches, Mike, came up with an idea: The Wendy's Value Meal Challenge: To eat one of every item on the dollar menu/ Also, you can't go to the bathroom or throw up for the entire duration plus 5 minutes afterwards. You also had to order by asking for "the third board from the right" where the value meal was listed. If all of these happened (you can see I'm still speaking in Mock Trialese) then you would get the respect of everyone there and Mike would pay for the meal and give you a dollar.

Needless to say, I'm an idiot who gives into peer pressure.

So I ordered it. They didn't have any orange cups left, so I foolishly replaced it with a hamburger.

I started with a burger. They put a lot of stuff on it - tomatoes, onions. Stupid deluxe burger. I drank my Dr. Pepper the who time, saved my Frosty for the end ate french fries as I went a long. Chicken fingers I ate towards the beginning and they were awful. I was a little thrown by the yogurt - it was thinker than I thought. Not to mention having to eat the granola.

What's that you say? Could I possible demean myself further? Why, yes! I also spilled honey mustard sauce on my shirt.

Also, all the other guys spent the whole time talking about puke. Which was considerate.

Anyway, in the end I did it. The hardest part was the chicken sandwich, because it was towards the end and tasted god awful. But I did it all, with "all due speed" as was stipulated, and I got the money - a total of $10.76

Do I regret it? No. Was it a mistake anyway? Probably. Am I proud? Undoubtedly.

So now I need to change my clothes, brush my teeth, go to the bathroom and get ready for a big day of Mock Trial and personal ridicule tomorrow. But mostly go to the bathroom.

Ahhh....I'm not sure why this is rotated but it's my finished work.
