Costco Challenge

The Costco Crew Did you ever see so much grease?

Well, the day of reckoning finally came for Andy. He won the Costco March Madness Pool, so the guys took him over to Costco for his "victory" meal. Let me remind you of what was at stake: Andy, being the winner of the pool, had his lunch paid for by the other guys if he could eat it all. He had to submit a menu in advance, and here is what it consisted of: one hot dog, one polish sausage, one order of pizza (2 slices), a churro, a drink, and a berry sunday. That is a lot of food. Katie, Kathy (Andy's mom), and I went over to cheer him on as he tried to eat that gigantic meal. First Andy ate the pizza, followed by the hot dog. Then he started on the sausage, but began to slow down, so he switched over to the sunday for awhile. He went back to the sausage, finished that, and reached for the churro, when suddenly it broke in half and fell to the floor. Andy looked up at the other guys, imploring them, but they showed no mercy, so Andy picked up that dirty churro and ate the whole thing. He explained to me later that had he not done so, the other guys would not have paid for the food and we would be out ten bucks. Sweating profusely, Andy picked up his spoon and shoveled down the remaining berry sunday. He had done it. He had eaten it all. Gross, but in a funny way, it also made me feel proud. As Andy waddled out of Costco and back to school, I knew that he had just accomplished a great feat. But it was still disgusting to witness.
