rice competition.

November 7, 2007

we have been talking about a rice diet for some time now. it just happened that on the walk home me and george decided that the diet had started. meaning also that the fast will end at dinner time. which would be nice.

when we got home a discussion began and the whole flat obviously opted int. since it was really a more communal idea to start with.

we ended up talking about the rules etc. what came out was the plan was to make it as bland as possible, to make it difficult, aswell as nutritional. but that kinda got dropped on the way side. at this stage the goal was for a one week diet.

so its:

  • white rice
  • water

although upon a little reflection and much debate we’ve added some exceptions:

  • medication
  • toothpaste
  • lip balm

note: these may not be consumed within 10 minutes of eating rice. (either side)

the twist now is this: while talking about the duration of this diet, it kind of evolved into a competition, so all week time frame was thrown away and were just going as long as you want. which is going to be amusing, since we have some very competitive players.

someone said how long? and to that, the unanimous reply was, just say when. (and that only sounds lame kause its also the name of this blog. this was named after life. we were quoting life, this place here is just a reflection of that. not the other way around)

ahh i love competitions. they are so dangerous in our house.

well keep the news and progress posted regularly i hope. you can follow the individual progress on mine and grg’s blogs, but well also do a every couple of days update here.

**UPDATE: lol competition over. before the close of the first 24 hour period everyone bailed. im going to the end of the second day to end gracefully. got a headache. rice is tough.

maple flavored suryp drinking competition

October 29, 2007

ok. so this is a long story, well actually, now that i think about it, its not really.

im just still feeling a little under the weather.

the beginning:

maple start

we woke dins up for this. he has been up most of the night at this point, it dosent really matter though, you cant hold the title for everything ;)

the middle:

the end:

maple 3

as you can see here there are 4 empty bottles. Nina finished a minute or so after us. It was totally the most impressive part. She is tiny, but drank it all!!
maple 2

grg taken out.

maple 1

me and ed…

there is also an awesome vid of us throwing up. and being generally sick. but im sure you get the point. maple suryp is quite extreme.

the best part, which you dont see here. is the fact that for breakfast we had curry. amazing super spicy curry. so while we were throwing up, it was burning. our vomit was on fire. quite an experience indeed.
