Blazin' Glory

So today Mark Forstrom and I took on the Blazin' Challenge at Buffalo Wild Wings. It didn't quite turn out the way we expected it to. Originally, we had thought that it was a challenge to eat 12 wings coated in Blazin' sauce in a matter of 6 minutes. That's pretty reasonable...

Think again! Apparently, BW3 of Iowa decided to change the rules a little bit. Instead of 12, we were faced with 18. The time wasn't 6 minutes; it was now 5! Off we went. Mark and I were going great until the end. I hit the wall. Too much chicken! I didn't barf, but I slowed down considerably. When it came down to it, I only managed to eat 17 in 5 minutes. The last wing stared up from the pool of sauce and grease collecting at the bottom of the bowl with a menacing look. Mark had completed the challenge; but, alas, I was not up to it. Now, we're both suffering from heartburn...

That is the end of my story.
