Week 10: Gallon Challege

definition: Milk chugging, or gallon challenge, is the process of consuming a large amount of milk within a set period of time. Although there are variations in procedure, many adherents follow to the mostly general parameters; a person is given 60 minutes to drink a full gallon of whole milk without vomiting.

(Men taking the challenge)

Ah yes, let us try to chug a whole gallon of milk or liquid in an hour. I'm the man, what could possibly go wrong?! I know for sure I won't throw up... oh wait... The gallon challenge is a incredibly stupid, but yet humorous trend that has taken our nation by storm. Those fame struck, peer pressured teenagers finally get their shot at fame and who can blame them? It seems completely normal to get a bunch of bro's together and start chugging away at a gallon, the chicks dig it man.

I know, I know, the above video is absolutely repulsive, and really isn't really the shining example of America we want all over the internet. However, with that being said. GENTLEMEN, let us lay down some ground rules!


(Gallons of milk)

There are three universal rules in what has been called the Gallon Challenge, although some minor variations may exist.


1) The contestant has one hour to drink one U.S. liquid gallon of milk.


2) Should the contestant finish the gallon within that hour, they must retain the gallon for a set period of time.


3) Should they retain the gallon, they win. Otherwise, if the contestant vomits prior to the set period of time has passed, they lose.
Now let the best man win!

Of course, when you chug an entire gallon of milk in an hours time, most likely you will puke. I can definitely see why people do it, but this does not mean that I would recommend it. At the end of the day it's worth a laugh, and immature one at that. Milk is my favorite drink out there, but I think I will stick to my glasses, and stay away from the gallons.

Week 9: Car Surfing

definition: Car surfing (also known as urban surfing) is an activity in which passengers of moving vehicles perform various stunts, including hanging out of the car or 'surfing' on the hood (bonnet), trunk (boot), or on the roof of the vehicle while it is in motion.


(A car surfer)

58 deaths since 1990... what a great fad. People in our society seem to think it makes sense to get on top of a car, and try to surf it. Do you have nothing better to do with your life? Go ride a roller coaster if you want a thrill, or even go actually surfing. They put seat belts in cars for a reason, we don't need to add to the death tolls in terms of car crashes, especially in something that should be completely avoided. I can't even say I find this funny, just because of the levels of stupidity involved. These are deaths that should never of happened.



(Girl car surfing)

This is the stupidity that leads to all the deaths and injuries. Don't get me wrong, I understand where the fun, humor component can be seen in this trend. But it lacks common sense. Usually I take a more comical approach to my blogs, but with this one, it is hard to. At first I thought I could have some fun with this topic, but as a researched it turned out to be a more serious issue.



(Car surfing video)

Need I say more? This is just ridiculous. This above stunt was only at 30 mph. There are other incidents that get up to 80 mph. This is a trend that needs to find an exit strategy out of our society, before there are more deaths and injuries. 

(More like wrong)

Week 8: Skinny Jeans

definition:  largely popular style of jeans worn mostly by the junior high, high school, and college age groups. they fit snugly around the waist and are tight around the thighs and calves, tapering down to the ankle. for guys they are a little looser in the crotch area. they were originally worn only by emos, skaters, punks, etc, but now 99% of the population owns at least one pair. however, they really only look good on about 3% of the population. short people, for instance, generally look even shorter when wearing skinny jeans. if you are tall and want to look shorter, wearing skinny jeans will not usually work. they're kind of complicated in that way.
short person: I wish I could wear skinny jeans, but they make me look even shorter than I already am!

(Skinny Jeans on guys)

I can't feel my legs! Skinny jeans are seen throughout our society as a popular jean option. I wish they would just go away. Seeing people wearing jeans that allow you to see the complete shape of their leg is not something I want, especially if it is a guy. I understand if you're a skater, or something of that nature, but other than that. I do not understand. Why you would want something that tight, especially as a guy is beyond me, I mean how about some breathing room?



(Skinny jeans rap)

They even have new rap songs coming out defending the skinny jeans movement. It's crazy. I guess it's something I will never understand fully.

Week 7: UGG Boots

definition: Boots with suede outsides and sheepskin insides. Usually used in snowy and cold regions, but now is associated with miniskirts and beach towns.
Look at that pigeon! She's wearing her uggs and miniskirt! Gross!

(Picture of Uggs)


Code name ugly! UGG boots have go mainstream in society, worn by girls everywhere. Having gone through high school, and now in college, I have seen my far share of these fur frenzy boots. For the most part, I have absolutely no problem with these boots, and if I were a girl I would most likely wear them. That however, is a big if.


(He clearly doesn't approve)


There is no doubt in my mind that surrounding your feet with multiple skinned rodents/animals is comfortable. I just have a problem with some of the combinations. Jeans and uggs, fine. Sweatpants and Uggs, acceptable. Leggings and Uggs, not okay. Miniskirts and Uggs, something your father probably wouldn't be proud of, though Im sure guys wouldn't mind. Tom Brady and Uggs... what the hell!? Are Muggs (Male Uggs) taking over now?! I am absolutely not okay with the all-star quarterback of my favorite football team promoting male Uggs. What is this no since. You throw a pigskin around, why would you want to feminize yourself with sheep fur? Go buy a pair for Gisele, before I take your man card. She's about the only reason you deserve respect after those adds, minus the rings of course.


(So very painful.)
