Okay--an honored part of the R.O.C. Jam experience is the "Fear Factor" event.
This event is made by Rick, who last year put bottles of baby formula on the tables and told the kids that it was actually breast milk that a friend of his had pumped out and frozen. And they believed him. It was also made by Jesse, Chris, and Nick this year--and it was DISGUSTING AS HELL, which, I guess, is the point.
This year Rick told the kids that he had skimmed pond scum off his pond as the base of the first round concoction. (Gads, I'm gagging just remembering what all those maniacs fed those kids.) In fact, I believe it was vegetable water--like from beets or spinach, which chunks of spinachy looking stuff floating in it. (Looked like algae.) Chris had fried up a huge thing of pig brains (yes, the real thing), and one of them provided sardines in mustard, some kind of nasty, strong smelling cheese that only pretentious bastards eat, pretending to like it because it is supposedly "sophisticated," and liver pate.
They whirled all this shit up in a blender and gave the kids a 12 oz. cup filled with this liquified shit and a straw.
Rachel and Asa got it down. Dan actually took one big slurp and PUKED into his glass.
The others all gagged and said, "No way."
I couldn't even look at it. It looked like festering vomit.
Well, the last fear factor event was a gross out one too.
They had a five gallon bucket with about 3 inches of gravel on the bottom. Then the water, which was filled with LEECHES. UGH. They look like long black ribbons. There were nuts and bolts in the bottom too. The kids had to find the specific bolt that attached to the specific nut and screw them together under the water, while the slimey leeches swarmed all over their hands.
GAH!!!! It was disgusting!
Well, Asa, who is in my homeroom, will do ANYTHING on a dare. I mean ANYTHING!!!!
So, a kid dared him to eat a leech.
And he did.
I seriously thought I was going to barf up my egg mcmuffin, dudes.
Katie, his girlfriend, yelled, "No tongue for you for a month!"
(That was way more information than I needed to hear as well.)
GAH!!!!!
GAH!!!!!!
GAH!!!!!!
*gag*
I cannot imagine any circumstance under which I would eat a live leech.
*shudder*
