Well, Waterbury was my second big T1 tournament since getting into the scene a couple months ago. And as most noobs do (Memnarch not included cuz he did good, GO NOOBS GO) at these things, I scrubbed out with a solid 2-3-drop record.
But, lo and behold, redemption would be mine. As it appeared that there would be a challenge held at this tournament that I am a bit more at home at: The Syrup Chugging Contest.
Step 1 to winning the Syrup Chuggin Contest: Fail to sign up for it
When it was announced, I was in the middle of a match, and by the time I was done and found the people who were running it, they had their 8 people signed up.
Step 2: Convince yourself that $40 is not worth probably booting, and risking diabetic shock
Saddened by my failure to procure a birth, I made myself feel better by rationalizing to myself and friends that it just wouldnt be worth it.
Step 3: Arrive in time to watch the festivities and slide into the now emtpy 8 slot
As my morbid curiosity got the better of me, I gathered with the others to see the Syrup Slugging start. But alas...there was a lone bottle without a champion. All that rationalizing and logic and common sense went out the window as I stepped up to the plate with the other combatants.
Step 3: Almost forget to chug your syrup as you stop to watch the cute girl chug her syrup
As the coordinator is getting ready to give the start signal, I decide now is the time to check out the cute girl in the contest so I wasted a precious half second of solid chugging time.
Step 4: SQUEEZE THE BOTTLE 4 TEH WIN
This is really the only step that actually will help you win a syrup chugging contest. It was an old trick I picked up from my 2 liter soda chugging contest days. Waiting for the viscous liquid to drain from the bottle into your mouth to be subsequently swallowed is just too darn slow. You have to open up your throat and just force as much of this sludge down as fast as gravity and your forceful squeezing will send it.
Step 5: Slam that bottle down when you're done
OK, I lied, this is actually somewhat important as well, and caused a bit of controversy in the Syrup Chugging world. Most chugging contests, be they beer, soda, other liquids, are culminated by the ceremonious slamming down of the empty vessel. I was aware of this and did my duty when I was done slugging that syrup. The other guy (Gary I believe was his name) who was also an experienced chugger was slow to slam down his empty bottle. We both finished in comparable times (some people claimed I had beaten him, others claimed he had won, and lots were just so disgusted by these two fat guys chugging Shaws brand syrup that they didnt care who won and just said it was too close).
Step 6: Hold your Syrup
Damn, now that I'm actually writing this, I have more actual good ideas than I had orignally thought. This is another gem to be remembered when entering any kind of eating/drinking/"extreme food" challenge. This is not the kind of thing for the faint of stomach. I think one guy set the record at 4 different bouts of booting. I didnt boot all day. The only time I almost got sick, was when I scratched my chin, which sports a pathetic attempt at a beard, and found the cache of syrup that had decided to take up residence on my face. The smell almost got me.
That's pretty much it. I hope it helps any future syrup chuggers. I dont even know the name of the guy with the camera who was putting the whole thing together. But, Gary and I split the prize and both got $20 worth of goodies from Jeff (Samite Healer)'s booth.
There was talk of a sudden death chug off, and Gary and I both agreed to this arrangement, as people of our idiocy and girth usually do when the title of "Biggest Jackass who can eat/drink a lot of crap" is on the line. Unfortunately, the second round of syrup took a little too long to arrive, and the adrenaline had worn off. Gary had gotten sick, and I was feeling quite loopy. I did offer to have a chug-off with anyone else who wanted to step up to the plate, but I have to say...I was not unpleased that no one took up the challenge. Those 36 oz (cuz the 24 oz bottles in the first round apparently werent large enough) bottles of syrup sitting on the side tables haunted the rest of my day.
All in all, I had a great day, and wanted to thank Ray and everyone who helped him run the day, as well as the great T1 people that showed up.

He does have a huge mouth, but with all those teeth, he's gotta worry about the cavities and the subsequent dentist bill, so I'm thinking it's favorable for the Syrup. =)

Congrats on splitting first!
As the flavor text on Megatog indicates, we Atogs don't really use our teeth. They're just there to look cool.

Yeah, missing the instructional portion of the contest was serious tech, but I was waiting on the wrong end of the room and had to jump 2 chairs and a n00b to get there.
Sadly, I was 100% alright until I saw the 36 oz bottles. I lost the pizza I ate Earlier and murdered a sink (ask kerz about the dead sink...lol)
FYI, Pizza apparrently Floats in maple Syrup.
Thnx to whoever put this on, and I Promise I will be at the next waterbury to Gain Sole Title.

Dyanna,
Ya, I know you're with Samite, but when you're stuck in a room for MANY hours with a bunch of gamer guys, the few oases (plural of oasis?) of feminity in a room are not to be squandered.
And yes, you are cute.

Hey, this is Derek of Binghamton here. I'd like to thank you guys, and girl for participating in this event. Hopefully next time I'll get another one going. And I'll take better footage of it, as this time I was just watching in awe then realized I was holding the video camera.
You guys made me extremely happy as noone really mentioned the syrup chuggin in their reports, then I find a thread to it. Happy times.

Derek, did any of the footage come out. I have told a quite a few people of the exploits and they all were equally amused, and I'm sure they'd love to see the chuggers in action.

Yeah it did come out, but the footage sucks. I completely forgot I had the camera at first and just stood back in awe saying, "oh my god". Then I realized I had the cam and started in. I'll have it uploaded somewhere online sooner or later. I will keep you all informed.

I have several photos from the syrup chugging event, but alas, I left the memory stick in Dyannah's purse. I should have them within a week and I'll probably post them at some point.

It's me, Liz! Another oasis of femininity, I hope. (Y'all met me, I was the one with the camera. You probably just forgot.)
Frankly, I think that the syrup-chugging was the best thing of all. But then again, I love squicky stuff like that. I am such a boy at heart. I had a great time watching you all try to down that disgusting stuff!
And yay for Dyannah, who stood up for us girls and did me proud! *huggle*

Have you SEEN Carl before, he is one sexy androgenious World Champion. And there was a chick in bed too, and I think/hope that Carls clothes stayed on all night. I know mine didn't though. :lol:

Last that I knew, no clothing was removed. Kowal, you so should have joined us. There was room! Of course, then Devo would have gotten all jealous and probably would have tried to glomp onto Eli or someone. Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to be cuddly next time, too.

Last that I knew, no clothing was removed. Maybe not on your half of the room, but there was a lot of flesh-on-hotel-bed action from Devo's side. Fortunately for Devo, Ross woke up in the middle of the night complaining about a backache, so Devo decided to share the bottom side of Devo's bed with him. Not the left side or the right side, but the bottom side of the bed. As in the "under Devo" side of the bed. Needless to say, Ross became less of a man that night and more of a receptacle. Ask him about it, he'll deny everything. |

Ben was just afraid of getting a few pokes in the butt.
Ben, be more open minded please.
And yes, the syrup bringing women out of the woodwork is somewhat disturbing to me. Though on second thought it sorta kinda makes sense...
I have decided that the Suicide Black Forum is the best forum of them all.
So let it be written, so let it be awesome[/b]
