The Great Wing Challenge

There exists this utterly Frat Boy challenge at my company. The rules aren't written down, but it works like this:

Step 1. Gather everyone at some random wing hut
Step 2. Each contestant must eat one of the following sets of items:
option a) 25 Buffalo wings + 5 more which have been dragged through the dregs of the sauce drippings
option b) 10 extra hot wings
option c) 100 celery sticks + 25 more which have been dragged through the dregs of the sauce drippings

That's pretty much it. Except, we learned when we started asking questions, that the only sauces allowed for this competition were butter-based. Well, that's one GranolaGirl right out. Upon further research we determined that pretty much the only option was an iceburg lettuce salad, which, since I had eaten a salad for lunch held exactly zero appeal.

I decided to walk the neighborhood and find a restaurant for takeout. Which also failed.

I got back to the wing place only to learn that the restaurant hadn't planned for that many people, and thus, run out of wings (there were about 100 people just from my company).

It crumbled into near disaster.

We ended up getting enough wings for people to have dinner, and I went out again and found a restaurant to get something to eat. When I returned, our intern (who can't eat spicy food) couldn't eat anything because they had closed the kitchen. Had we known that he could have come with me to get different food, but oh well.

Finally, the bill came. Because they were so overrun, the restaurant decided to just put our whole company on one bill per section. The table that got our bill had all been able to compete, and decided that we should just divide the bill per head. Which worked out to $25/person. Which would be awesome, except, I'm not paying $25 for 2 cups of water. Nope. Sorry. We reworked things and got it all resolved, but what a nightmare.

In the end, we decided to try it again soon. Probably next month.

I shall petition to have a vegan option available.
