Usually I am a man up to most any challenge. I tackle things that I "might" be able to do with an attitude of "sure" I can. I usually succeed to a certain extent. Put my mind to a task and I get an acceptable result. But, A dare? That is a different story. A dare usually involves doing something that is foolish, dangerous, illegal or all of the above. I rarely accept dares, once the options are weighed and the rewards are calculated dares usually are found in the deficit column of the rewards ledger. So as I received an e-mail very early this morning while my world was still crashing down over me from a day that is best just forgotten, I looked upon a 'bet' or dare I received from Stuart Florida, a challenge that my Beautiful Daughter took and chose to lay on my already over burdened shoulders, and said to myself. Sure. Why not.

The picture above is just that dare made flesh. Lots of flesh. This person is one of Meredith coworkers, who said I would not post it on my site. I believe that this is another event being considered for the 2012 summer games in London. The platform dive into a bowl of gumbo. Obviously there is a lot of training involved, and a lot of gumbo! I believe the contestant is starting a 2 and a half inverted to a pike, and then the big finish the chomp!
There's no way he'll put that on his site. Bet on it.

Didn't I see this guy outside a Frish's?
