Mike vs Food!!!



So I am away for a few days and Rocky and I decided to save a little money by staying with some friends. Rocky and this guy love hot wings so we went to Buffalo Wild wings. The normal wings were good and they have a fun trivia game that we played while eating. As we were enjoying the food and friends, the manager came to the table next to us and started to make the announcement for a challenge. The challenger had to eat 12 of the hottest wings in under 6 minutes. Complete the challenge in under 2 minutes and the wings are free. If you do it you get your picture on the wall and the eternal envy of all your friends. I made up my mind to take the challenge and to beat the time of the guy before me. I was eating wings way faster than him, so in my mind this shouldn't be an issue.
Well it didn't go as well as planned. I started off great. It was a heads up challenge between me and a young asian kid. I was winning, people were cheering, at any minute my picture would be on the wall and bragging rights would be mine. I bit off a little more than I could swallow and the chicken stayed in my mouth a little too long. That was the begining of the end. It was so hot. My eyes started to water, my hands started to shake, and I cant ever even expain what began to happen in my stomach. The asian kid soon caught up, overtook me and won his challenge. After 8 wings, with four to go I gave up.
It was awful. The waitress said sugar would help so I poured a few of those on my tounge, and then tried some water, then someone gave me a soda....none helped, and my stomach was not happy. I decided to leave and on the way out there was the bathroom. I couldn't pass it up....I threw up a boot!!! The picture above is of me after expelling the contents of my stomach. My eyes and lips began to swell. Oh God Please help me!!! On the ride home Rocky and the other guy we were with asked if I could please breath through my nose because the smell from the wings was burning thier eyes....HOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Final Score...Food 1 Mike 0
There will not be a rematch.
