Gatorade Bath

Les Miles apparently melts when you dump gatorade on him. Or, he is trying to savor every drop.
Date of Urge: 08-21-2008
Time of Urge: Approximately 5:30 p.m.
Location of Urge: Kid’s soccer practice
Description of Urge: While driving, I noticed that some young kids were having soccer practice at a nearby field. Next to the sidelines was an orange water cooler, which I would assume was full of ice water. The coach of the team was standing approximately 5-10 feet in front of the cooler as parents drove in and out of the parking lot, dropping off their kids. I seriously debated parking the car, running over and picking up the cooler and dumping it on the coach while screaming about the championship we had just won.
Why the urge was controlled: Fear that I would throw out my back, yet again, while lifting the water cooler.

When: August 24th, 2008, 11:30 PM
Where: Meijer
What: Last night my lady friend discovered she was out of feminine products and i told her i’d go to the store. While i was walking through the aisles i thought about how weird it is for a guy to be buying feminine products at 11:30 at night without a “feminine” present. So, i thought, why not take this up to the next level and throw in some hemorrhoid cream, some condoms, some wart remover, some herpacin, some ex-lax, some pepto bismol, and maybe a small doll or a dog toy…put all of it on the counter and stare intently at the cashier (not in a menacing way, just intently).
What stopped me: i didn’t want to go around the store picking all that stuff up and the self-check out lane was right there.

If only this league truly existed, I might be able to control this urge.
Date of Urge: 08-19-2008
Time of Urge: 6:15 p.m.
Location of Urge: Near the campus of my local university
Description of Urge: So…this marks the beginning of college school terms. Which, unfortunately, means that an incredibly large number of obnoxious students are moving back into the area. While having a major university in my backyard is nice for all of the interesting stuff it provides for the community, a large group of students are self-centered idiots who take up a lot of room at all events worth going to and go ahead and trash the sidewalks with broken bottles neglecting to realize that all sorts of people walk on the sidewalk to include little kids. Everytime I see a group of students walking side by side by side by side down the sidewalk, all talking on their individual cell phones and not to each other, and not moving out of the way of anyone else, but rather making sure that you, the individual taking up the least amount of space, I want to yell out “Red Rover, Red Rover, let me come on over!” while I take off in a sprint and smash between a couple of them.
Why urge was controlled: I’m not really sure…hopefully I will lose control next time this happens.

Shot-Putting a Watermelon
Leave a Comment
Date of Urge: 07-20-2008
Time of Urge: 9:30 p.m.
Location of Urge: Grocery Store
Description of Urge: While walking around the grocery store carrying a watermelon on my shoulder, I had the almost uncontrollable urge to spin and toss the watermelon like a shot-put. I visualized the watermelon exploding in the milk section, sending bits of watermelon and 2% flying everywhere. I would have then run out of the store screaming about interdimensional watermelon creatures stealing Earth’s milk.
Why the urge was controlled: Not being able to make it out of the store before being caught, due to the fact that I was laughing too hard to run.
Follow-up to urge: When explaining to friends about the A.U.U., we began discussing what foods would work best for the Field events in Track and Field (Discus, Javelin, Shot Put, and Hammer Toss). Tossed around ideas include.
- Discus = Frozen Pizza,
- Shot-Put = Cantaloupe/Grapefruit/Melon Squash
- Hammer-Toss: Pumpkin/Gourd
- Javelin = Swordfish, Corn-stalk, Nerds Rope, Giant Freeze-Pop, Giant Pixie Stix, Yard long Slim Jim, Hot Dog on a Stick
What would make for good food substitutes for The World’s Strongest Man Competitions?
