Sunday lunch:

A brief bout of moderate gastrointestinal distress for SD_G between meals 2 and 3. All is well now, thanks.

SoaP is opening on 8/18, and I'd be down with a trip to the local movie theatre complex to take in some fine Sam Jackson cursewordology...

OK, for the mandatory mega-drunkenness, I need something other than/ in addition to beer. I can't drink beer fast enough to get really drunk. Plus, something less voluminous that won't contend for stomachage with tacos is needed. So, I suggest we break out, for only the 2nd time ever, Greg's olde tyme drunke recipee for Absolut-ly Wired.
Mountain Dew, Absolut Vodka and a shot of Raspberry Caffeinated Syrup. Never has inebriation been so energetic.
Plus the vomit looks like blood...

CivIV arrived on Saturday. Haven't had a chance to play yet, but it is installed,
and the patch applied.

I've been thinking about all the TB wrappers that will accumulate as we work through the weekend. I'm considering making a cape out of the wrappers, to be worn at the conclusion of the weekend. I figure wash them, let them dry, then tape and/or staple them into the cape. Should be plenty of yardage. Might need to get a pattern together prior to the weekend...

From the intertron: "Sodium is not considered a toxic element; up to 5 g/day of sodium is consumed by normal adults."

So, looks like we'll be ok in the salt department. Of course, having that chorizo skillet scramble for breakfast every day won't help...

Using the Yum.com handy and/or dandy nutrition calculator (which, I was pleasantly surprised, allows you to put 100 tacos on your 'tray') I figured out the impact
of 100 tacos.



8 kilos of tacos and 17000 calories? Good thing we're splitting it!

meat your enemy...


Or, what about eating one of each menu item? Too crazy? Just right crazy? A quick browse of the tacobell.com site reveals around 44 different food items. I see a big, "flipchart-sized" scorecard of type and quantity of items eaten...

RC_G checking in.

I started thinking about this a bit... Since we can't really rely on tacos (even those from the fine folks at Taco Bell) keeping well or being even remotely edible over night in the fridge, I figure we'll have to make regular trips to the nearby TB location. Also, not a huge deal, but I'm figuring it will cost about $50/person just for tacos.

I'm suggesting that we modify the parameters of the challenge to include other forms of tacos, such as "soft" etc. While not completely familiar with the Taco Bell menu, I do believe that there are other kinds of tacos than the ol' stand by crunchy shelled gems.

The question is, will this end in a faintly whispered, and shame-and-vomit drenched quitter motto like "no mas" or will we stomach up to the bar and proudly shout: "Mas! Uno Mas!"

Now, where did I leave my sombrero?

here it is ... BAM! the g2x 2006 blog. 6 weeks and counting from today.

Borrowing liberally from the name of Dave Gerulski's herculean fundraising effort,
and making potentially flatu-fatal decisions on a whim, it's "100 for 2," Garrett and
Greg's foray into Taco reBellion- eating 100 tacos during g2x weekend.

Part of me says, "please! that's just 2/3 of a taco per man per hour for three days, what.ever!"
The other part of me is already getting a little nauseous.

One thing is for sure, this is nacho father's g2x. (unless you are Leigh or Millen.)
