So, the group of people I work with eat horrible things.

Several of my coworkers have this thing about a sandwich from Wendy's called "The Baconator". If you don't know, it's 2 hamburger patties, 3 slices of cheese, 6 pieces of bacon and mayo on a bun. It's almost 900 calories and something like 120% of you daily allotment of fat. I've expressed my outrage at the sandwich and shaken my head in disbelief when my coworkers have said they're going out to get them.

Yesterday they started a pool to see how much money they could raise to get me to eat one. Thinking it was all a joke, I told them I'd probably do it for $80, as they'd never in a million years get that much. Why on earth would my coworkers pay to watch me get sick?????

Well, this morning I got to work and found out they've got $81 pledged.

I can't freaking believe it.




So I said I'd do it and donate all the money to Minnesota AIDS Project.

omg, I'm going to have to eat a baconcator next Wednesday.

BLEH!!!!!



What's the silliest thing you've done for charity?

I recently bet with a group of friends that I could get someone to eat The Baconator

So have you?

I hope there's a bathroom close by with lots of toilet paper because you're going to need it. Your bowels and stomach will hate you for it, but the AIDS project will appreciate your pain.

Make sure you order a Dr. Pepper with it.

I once helped supervise about 100 troubled children from a Cleveland-area social service agency in constructing the frame of a Habitat for Humanity house. We had to break up a bunch of fights... and I'm not so sure I'd personally wanna live inside that structure ... but it was a rewarding experience.

gross!

Damn. Maybe you should force yourself to throw up after you eat it. I think that might be better than letting it reak havoc on your stomach and intestines.

It's nice that you are donating the money though.


Not really silly, but once I volunteered to get up early on a Saturday and help with an all day art making activity with kids. I detest kids and getting up early.

That sandwich sounds so gross!

Like it's made up or something.
