Fear Factor

hey everyone. today i had a birthday party that i went to for a friend. the theme was fear factor. the first thing we had to do was as a team dive on the bottom of a freezing cold pool for $2.57 all in pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. we could only go one at a time and we had do go off the slide. next we picked two members from each team and stood around a table. we spun this thing that had 8 different nasty dishes on it and lucky me i ended up eating a cracker with some weird fruit on it. my teamate had to eat a cracker with a raw sardine on it. some other dishes were a girl scout thin mint, caviar, sushi, and goat cheese. after that four of the members on our team go to shoot 2 free throws. on the first one for everyone we missed we added a cricket to our strawberry shake. on the next one aeveryone we missed we had to have a worm to our shake. we ended up having to have 3 of both in ours. it tasted just like a normal strawberry shake. after that we were going to do an event where one of your teamates was tied in hand and foot and had a dog shocker collar around their leg getting shocked the whole time while the other teamates had to: dig through a big box of manuer trying to find a small key that would open a tool box full of more manuer that had three small wood chips on them. then you had to take those three numbers and try to figure out the combination to a small lock that locked some wire cutters in a box. after you got that opened you cut the bonds and freed your teamate from being shocked more. we didn't get to do that event though because we were short on time. the final "real" event we had 1 minute to transfer small baby mice, worms, and fish. we could use our hands for the fish and mice but we had to use our mouth for the worms and we could only take one at a time. i started on fish and another teamate started on the worms. halfway through we realized that the fish were only 2 points so i started helping with worms. we ended up taking 17 worms over. it was sooo nasty!! then that was the end......or so we thought. we all went inside and we were about to start eating dessert and opening presents when the parent and the uncle of the b-day boy come into the house. they announce the teams that got 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st. my team was in first!!! but there was a twist. we the extra worms teamates could eat them for an additional 55 points. so i jumped up real quick and swallowed one whole with no gagging or hesitation. i didn't bite it at all. the team that was in last place had 4 teamates eat a worm putting them ahead of us. 3 of our teamates ate worms and a 4th was about to eat one for the win.....but then the b-day boy's mom started getting nervous and made us stop. so we ended up losing by a mere 3 points!!! the winning team got $20 gift cards to sports authority. i was so bummed, but that's okay. it was still fun, so i thought i just might share. love ya all!!!
